Sometimes the print head nozzles get a bit clogged with dried ink.  A
few quick wipes with a Kleenex usually will fix the problem.
Sometimes you have to poke on the back of the ink bladder with a sharp
object (CAREFULLY! so as to not puncture the bladder) to force a bit
of ink through the nozzles before wiping it.  A small hole is provided
on the back of the cartridge for doing this.

This procedure should be described in your owners manual.  I carried
over my experience with ThinkJets...
