Need Help Waste Ink Tank Not Emptying Despite Flash Errors

Mornin'!

So all this week, our Anapurna 2450fb has been flashing errors at me that the waste ink tank is full. Every day this week, I've tried to empty it to no avail. I know I'm in the correct spot. I open the valve with a container under it ready to catch the flow and nothing is coming out.

I'm thinking it's clogged, but I'm not sure what it would be clogged with. I've contemplated emptying a little alcohol down its drain, just to see if that comes out when I open the valve, but haven't tried it yet because I'm not 100% sure I like that idea.

Anyone else have this issue? From what I understand, I should be emptying the tank weekly, but we don't run the printer enough for that to even cross my mind.

Thanks!
