The print output from my venerable Desk Jet 500 was getting
faint, so I bought two cartridges. When I removed the old
cartridge, I could see it was abut half full of ink.

Thinking maybe it was clogged, I tried to wipe off the head
with alcohol and a q-tip. I  removed a lot of dried-up ink
from the print head.  That did not help at all.

Is there any way I can salvage cartridges like this one?

Dammed things cost $25 each.  I almost coulda gotten a new
printer instead of buying two cartridges.  But I'm
sentimentally attached to this one, I suppose.

What say you?
