Thanks guys! So many replies, did not expect that much. :-) Anyway, it seems that none of the methods worked so far. With the window cleaner I got the best results: The liquid become black, so I felt lucky. After cleaning off the liquid I put the cartridge to the printer, and some of the micro lines started to work but only momentarily. I guess I need to buy new ink. Anyway, if I need to buy new ink probably I will listen to you, Xiaofan and buy new printer instead. This one does not even work with Linux (winprinter or how they call it). Do you know if these Samsung printers work with Linux?
