After installing refilled ink carts, what should be done: cleaning? alignment? nozzle check? The manual for Canon iP3000 says these things should be done when certain problems are occurring, but I can't find info on whether they should be done routinely after installing new or refilled carts.
General maintenance recommendations?

Generally, printhead alignment isn't necessary when replacing an ink cart. If you let a cart empty to the point where you get the low ink warning, when you replace it the printer runs a cleaning cycle. If you replace the carts before getting the warning some people recommend that you run a cleaning cycle to "prime" the cart and be sure the ink is flowing on demand.
