Zusammenfassung:	Printers and associated printer maintenance methods and apparatus are disclosed. An example printer includes a nozzle to dispense fluid; a wiper to wipe the nozzle during a maintenance event; and a controller to cause the nozzle to dispense fluid during the maintenance event while the wiping material engages or is immediately adjacent the nozzle to deter a substance from being present within the nozzle. La présente invention concerne des imprimantes et des procédés et un appareil de maintenance d'imprimante associés. Un exemple d'imprimante comprend une buse pour distribuer un fluide ; un essuyeur pour essuyer la buse pendant un événement de maintenance ; et un dispositif de commande pour amener la buse à distribuer un fluide pendant l'événement de maintenance tandis que le l'essuyeur vient en prise ou est immédiatement adjacent à la buse pour dissuader une substance d'être présente à l'intérieur de la buse.
