I have not used my printer in months and i had plenty of ink now that i have it hooked back up it won't print?

Is the ink dried up? If that is the case is their a way of saving the ink cause they were full last time i checked and i have not been using my printer.I have not used my printer in months and i had plenty of ink now that i have it hooked back up it won't print?
The ink in the nozzles will probably have dried up thus stooping the flow of ink from the tanks to the paper.





Use your printer software to clean the nozzles (you may need to do this several times before it clears) If this does not work then your nozzles need replacing which is a job you may want to get done at a repair shop.I have not used my printer in months and i had plenty of ink now that i have it hooked back up it won't print?
best thing is to try and print some junk things of paper repeatedly so that clogged nozzle will ease out else use acetone fumes or smear acetone at the tip of nozzle so that it gets declogged.
The ink may has dryed up just in the printing head look in instructions.
It MIGHT've dried up, but the best thing to try is to do the maintenance things that come with the printer. On my Epsom, you can do nozzle check, and other things like that. Its likely that any ink that was in the nozzles will have dried up, but the rest of the ink should be ok. So, just do that maintenance thing, send the paper through a few times, it should flush the dry ink through.
ur cartridge just dried up.... thats all....





change the cartridge and it'll work just as new.....
%26lt;%26gt;You can run the cleaning cycle, but if it still doesn't work, try pulling out the ink cartridges and clean the inlets (where the ink feeds into the nozzle system) with alcohol preps or a gauze pad with isopropyl alcohol. The ink may have dried and blocked the ports.
Hi Darl, In Answer To The Second Part Of Your Question. If You Know You're Not Going To Use The Printer For A While, You Could Try Removing The Ink Cartridges Putting Tape Over the Holes And Storing Them Somewhere Cool Like In The Fridge. Most Printers These Days Perform A Head Cleaning Sequence On Shut Down Unless You Switch It Off Before Shutting Down Your Computer. This Should Deal With Clogging If You Use the Printer More Regularly.


As Others Have Said, Run The Printer Maintenance Program First To See If It Does The Trick Now? You May Need to Do this More Than Once. Be Careful If Using Solvents And Q-Tips Etc These Can Do More Harm Than Good If Used Incorrectly.


Good Luck And Have A Gooday And A Beaut Christmas Darl!
Change your cartridge - it costs a fraction of what a new printer would. That is the only portion of the printer with a toner and ink, that DRIES up.
