Hi, I've written a small utility program for the Mac named. The utility will send a small print job to the printer(s) of your choosing at the interval (in hours) that you specify. It will print small (0.5' x 0.5') color swatches in cyan, yellow, magenta, black, gray, light gray, red, green, and blue. Some additional textual information regarding the page and paper settings is included in the development releases to assist in debugging. I may keep or remove this in future versions, based on feedback, etc.

The program is released under the GLP3 open source software license and is hosted on Github. If you're interested in downloading and testing/using it, I'd appreciate it. The program is Mac only at this point, however, it's written using a cross-platform framework named Qt, so if there's interest I may be able to provide a Windows version in the future. You may download the most recent release available from.
Inkjet Plumber Overview Inkjet Plumber is an 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 infrequent inkjet users in mind, allowing you to automatically send a small print job to an otherwise idle inkjet printer. I make no claims that Inkjet Plumber will prevent clogs or reduce your ink costs, however, it's generally accepted by many people 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 for this purpose, however, only runs on Windows and I was not able to find a comparable application for the Mac.
Development Inkjet Plumber is written in C using the 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. Downloads You may download binary releases (dmg file) of Inkjet Plumber from. Inkjet Plumber also provides auto-update functionality to make sure you stay up-to-date with the development of Inkjet Plumber.
