Inkjet Plumber is a simple little application for the Mac that allows you to send a small print job to one or more of your printers at an interval of your choosing. It was written with inkjet printers in mind, for those of us that aren't heavy print users and may have days, weeks, or even months go by without printing to your inkjet printer.
I make no claims that Inkjet Plumber will actually prevent clogs or save you ink, however, it's commonly accepted that it's best to exercise your inkjet printer rather than leave idle (or powered off) for long periods of time.
Many Windows users use QImage for this purpose, however, QImage only runs on Windows and I was unable to find a comparable application for the Mac, which led to the creation of Inkjet Plumber.
Inkjet Plumber is written in C++ using the Qt Framework and built for the Mac OSX operating system. While the Qt Framework is very portable, I do not have access to any Windows systems, so I can only provide an executable build for the Mac operating system at this time.
You may download binary releases (dmg file) of Inkjet Plumber from here. Inkjet Plumber also provides auto-update functionality to make sure you stay up-to-date with the development of Inkjet Plumber.
