I found that it would "wake up" every so often and do a quick printhead clean then go back to sleep. I have since worked out how to prevent this problem, if you do not print in colour that often. It worked, although I had to do it one more time as the yellow was still intermittent. I ended up doing a printhead clean operation 7 times, which I know is wasteful of ink, but I couldn't print red or yellow anyway and their cartridges were full (you can select colour as a clean option so you don't waste black). I can only relate to you my experience with my Brother mfc 440cn which had the same problem, not as bad, would not print magenta or yellow. The cost of replacing the printhead exceeds the cost of a new printer. Sorry about thinking it was 240c I can only surmise, like you, that the printhead has become clogged with dried ink due to not using colour that often.
