carefully remove the tanks from the print head cartridge. use a q-tip lightly soaked in isopropyl alcohol, or use a q-tip paired with an alcohol prep pad from a first aid kit.

gently rub the rubber seating areas for each tank, removing the dried ink from the rubber seat. swab the soaked q-tip, or use the q-tip to gently press the alcohol prep pad into the rubber stopper. use a different spot on the q-tip or pad for each one.

check the print head for ink stains on the black plastic, clean those as well.

Use canned air to dry the stoppers, replace the tanks, and check status. Print a test page and check results.

If you do not print many items, you can avoid the situation by printing a test page every once in a while to keep the contacts clear. Also, run the program to clean the print heads occasionally, and always turn the printer power off at the printer (that seats the tanks down on the stopper, helping to prevent the contact getting plugged by dry ink.

Thats funny, cause I took the cartridges out and left the lid up, unplugged it, plugged it back in with my finger on the power button and tapped the stop/reset button twice. Put the cartridges in, pressed the color start, after some moaning a test page printed. I unplugged it again, plugged it back in and I had full ink Levels!!!
