Q: This should be either electronic, sponge or open head.  Electronic heads are normally covered with orange wire strips.  Sponge heads are obviously sponge which can be touched.  Open heads are a hole with nothing in them but ink.  For electronic heads, simply throw in trash. These heads are unreliable, especially if you don't print every day.  Get rid of your printer. Give it away. Deliver it to your local thrift store. Buy a printer with sponge or open heads. These almost never dry out because the system keeps them sealed. Usually you will find these in printers with four or more cartridges; three separate colors and one black (aka CMYK).   If you have a sponge or open head cartridge, and you already did the other methods to no avail, your cartridge is dead. The ink has dried and hardened to a point it cannot be salvaged. Buy a new one. They can usually be found cheap on Ebay.
A: Determine what type of cartridge you have.

Q: There is no way to completely prevent salivary gland infections, but reducing the bacteria in your mouth through proper dental care appears to help quite a bit. Brush your teeth at least twice a day, floss regularly, and get dental checkups once or twice a year. every day. The more water you drink, the more saliva you’ll be able to produce. This makes a salivary duct blockage — and therefore an infection — less likely. Plain water is your best choice for hydration. Sugary beverages are bad for your teeth and overall health, and caffeine and alcohol can actually work to dehydrate you. Think of this as one of the countless reasons why you should quit smoking, chewing tobacco, or never start in the first place.

Using tobacco can also increase your risk of developing cancer in one or more of your salivary glands. In addition to salivary gland infections, chewing tobacco can cause salivary gland cancer.

The mumps used to be one of the most likely causes for viral salivary gland infections. However, the widespread use of the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine has reduced this significantly. In the U.S., children usually receive the MMR vaccine at 12-15 months of age, and again at age 4-6. If you weren’t vaccinated as a child, talk to your doctor about it right away. A salivary gland infection can cause common infection symptoms like a fever and chills.

In some instances, though, they may want to use an ultrasound, MRI, or CT scan to more closely study the area before making a diagnosis. If there is a concern that you may have a tumor blocking the salivary duct, your doctor might recommend a needle biopsy to get a sample of the tissue.
A: Practice good oral hygiene. Drink lots of water Don’t smoke or chew tobacco. Get vaccinated for the mumps. Visit your doctor if you have potential symptoms. Undergo tests to check for a salivary gland infection.
