I saw an article once that said to try WD40. If that doesn't work, you can
try soaking the tip in alcohol for a few minutes and then using the WD40.
After this, run the printer a little bit in test mode without a ribbon.
If you are careful, you don't have much to lose. You can probably buy a
used printer cheaper than the repair costs anyway :)
