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.
