33 mins confidence: 
missing nozzle Explanation: Not so much context provided, so I am not 100% confident. 欠 usually means lacking/missing something, so I would say missing nozzle or nozzle missing. |

34 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1failing nozzle Explanation: The following part of a sentence defines ノズル欠: 「。。。」ノズル吐出口からインク滴が吐出されないというノズルの吐出不良（以下、ノズル欠と言う。）が生じる。(source: http://www.ekouhou.net/インクジェット記録装置/disp-A,2006-240119.html). From this definition and the fact, that 欠 can mean "to fail in something", I think the correct translation is "failing nozzle", a term, which can be found in English texts in a similar context. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 Tage10 Stunden (2012-09-05 06:49:46 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Thank you and everyone for the grading! I would say failing nozzle: in printer context, I found online more the term failing nozzle than nozzle failure. And as the second character means to fail, and not to be blocked, this is more correct than nozzle blockage, even if in the specific context, the failure may mean that the nozzle is blocked. Example sentence(s):
