All ink will dry out if it goes unused for a period of time. Some printers will run a cleaning cycle ever couple of days to help prevent this but it will use up your ink each time it runs a cycle. If you use your printer infrequently then a laser printer would be a better choice. Laser printers use toner that is a dry powder and would not dry out. If you need the color or multifuntions that a laser printer wouldn't have at a reasonable price then I would look to a small hp inkjet printer that takes the 60 or 61 series. These are small ink cartridges that have the printhead embedded on the cartridge itself. This way if your ink dries out you only have to pay a small amount (relative to other ink carts) to get it going again.

Your printer won't print but it is on what do you do?
There may be multiple problems with the printer (or the ink cartridges): Does the printer have empty ink cartridges? If so, put in fresh ones. Did you refill the ink cartridges? Use remanufactured ones? If so, then they may be: overfilled, heads/contacts worn out, ink level detector not reset (on some ink cartridges), etc. Is anything (that's part of the printer or ink cartridges) broken? If so, it may be too broke to work. Are the ink cartridges expired/dry? If they are expired, some printers say they don't detect them, thus they won't print. If they are dry, then they won't print. Try doing a head cleaning. Either with the printer's software, the printer's head cleaner button, or with cotton swabs and rubbing alcohol. Did you touch the ink cartridges (where the printer's/ink cartridges instructions) said not to? If so, clean them. Are the contacts on the ink cartridges/carriages dirty? If so, clean them. Is the paper loaded/inserted? If not, load/insert the paper. Are you using the wrong size/weight/amount of the paper? If so, please use the correct size/weight/amount of the paper.

If this doesn't work, plug it in. Then turn it on. Does the printer have a paper jam? If so, clear the jam. Does the printer have objects in it? If so, get the objects out.
