Solidified ink in the cartridge nozzles?
You might try cleaning the print head of the ink cartridge in alcohol. I used to use a small jar lid with just enough alcohol to meet the bottom of the printer cartridge (the squirty bit). Using the edge of the lid to support most of the cartridge, lay a couple toothpicks (or anything else suitably small diameter) in the bottom of the lid to keep the squirty parts off the bottom, but still keeping the holes submerged. Soak for at least an hour. Blot dry on napkin or paper towel. Run every cleaning function your printer possesses.
Used to work for me. Good luck.
I don't know what you'd do if your ink does not exit the cartridge directly. Maybe remove the thing your cartridge nozzles spray into (for lack of a correct term) and soak per the above suggestion?
