What makes you think the heads are U/S and not just in need of TLC.. I would
take a risk of dismantling the unit to remove the heads ( minus cartridges )
and leave the face ( nearest the paper surface) soaking in several layers of
kitchen towel soaked in print head fluid.
Very gentle wiping using just soggy kitchen towel soaked in fluid at times
during the long (24 hour) soak will help free any debris. Unfortunately you
can't tell if its fully recovered without fitting new cartidges.. Best of
luck
