I even have one of those. It's plastic, and only cost a dollar or
something, but it's good enough for government work. (Actually, it's
surprisingly distortion-free.

Thanks for your speedy reply.
I even have distilled water. I use it in the iron, the steamer, and
the car and motorcycle batteries. (The motorcycle still doesn't run,
has never run for me, but that's another newsgroup.)

And I do not have to worry about the Q-tip getting fibers in the
printhead?
Do you mean for me to rub the head? I was planning just to hold the
cloth (or Q-tip) close enough that the holes would suck up the liquid.
Or can I rub it a little?
If you are inclined to email me
for some reason, remove NOPSAM :-)
