I sometimes don't use my printer for 3-10 weeks. Now that is very bad for the print heads. They will clog over time. I have had this problem with Epson’s and early versions of the HP. I went through cleaning and replacing heads to often. One of the main reasons I brought the HP Officejet pro 8620 was the ability to print out on a schedule using the Printables app. I have it print the one page NBC news on M,W,F every week to keep it going.
Now that they have discontinue the app. what can I do in place of it? Printing 12 pages a month does not use much paper or ink but does keep head from clogging.

Google home page? Mostly whitespace - so less ink usage - but still goes through all the colors.

It is fairly old now, but you could try this version of the old AutoPrint utility, which doesn't require wasting a lot of ink or paper.

I have an Epson printer and there are built-in utilities for this sort of thing.
