I just drag it across a rough dry cloth.  The real cure is to clean the
park zone for the print cartridge.  Notice if you have a rubber gasket
in the park position.  This covers the inking surface when the cartridge
is parked to block air from making contact.  It needs to be clean to
work properly. If you don't use the printer often, run print tests
periodically to keep the ink freeflowing.  I use a deskjet 500c from
1992 and I get 3 to 4 months out of a black cartridge, and even with
that light use they rarely clog.
