Don't worry about the CD, all software and documentation is online.
Read it very carefully, it is not very straightforward, but I was able to create 2 instances of my PRO-10 (same software) one on USB and one networked (Wifi).
Speed is the same, so if your printer is not more than 5m away, use...
You could try to do the cleaning with thicker material with a rough surface (cardboard cut from a box or something).
Maybe it will catch the stuck piece.
Or gently insert a piece of cardboard (or heavy photo paper) from the front...
No experience with Precision Color's dye inks, but IMO his pigment inks are the best 3th party available.
If I lived in the States/Canada I wouldn't hesitate.

I have all three software versions still installed.
I remember I had to register the Colormunki, but this seems not possible anymore. The option also disappeared from the latest (last) Photo application (1.2.2).
