Katie, the referenced thread mentions that you cleaned the goopy stuff, but doesn't say how.

When I was trying it, I was using 100% alcohol (sold as a cleaner at hardware stores) and acetone. The latter works a LOT better but as you know can dissolved rubber and some plastics.

Alcohol works, but slowly. I was nervous about leaving the thin, delicate rubber belts in an alcohol bath for the day or so it would take to work. That's about how long it took to get the goop off the printhead, and honestly I'm still not sure about it.

Any hints would be appreciated.
