[QUOTE="VA1DER, post: 217121, member: 15186"] That is an exceptionally old printer. I am not at all surprised by ink-flow issues. First of all, the ink cartridges show full or empty based on a chip they have that records how much has been printed from that cartridge. Even if the cartridge had "run dry" over time, it wouldn't show as being empty. If it shows on the printer as being empty, then it has been printed from. The printer may not have been as unused as you were lead to believe. If that printer has been printed from, if there was ink in the system and then it went on to sit for ages, then you may need to go to some effort to clean it out. I would get a set of refillable cartridges for it (Ali Express has them) and fill the cartridges with printer cleaning solution. If you don't want to buy the solution you can make it. Buy some high purity alcohol, isopropyl is fine, but make sure it's 99% or 100% alcohol. Mix that 50/50 with some Windex (or similar) - you want the kind of Windex that comes with ammonia in it. Or, you can add some ammonia. Half a cup of alcohol with half a cup of Windex and a tablespoon of ammonia is a good mix. Fill the refillable cartridges all with this cleaner, prime the cartridges, and then put them in the printer. Run it through a half dozen cleaning cycles. [/QUOTE]
