I have used this trick once or twice, but be carefull. You will need an ink cartridge that you are no longer using. use your injector that came with your refill kit, and inject some alcohol into the cartridge. insert the cartridge and run a few tests. this should help unclog things.
you can also use a good quality paint brush, and try dripping a few drops of alcohol in the repository where the ink cartridge valve gets punctured. the alcohol should help break up the dry ink.
i also suggest inserting some paper, cheap, non glossy to help soak up any spillage. do a manual paper feed so the paper gets pulled through.
Power the printer down and unplug before messing with it.
Dont use anything to scrub the print heads as you can damage the piezo (sp?) head.
Good luck.
