Spray some non-drip widex on a few pieces of paper and place it under the print head for a few hours to soak the clogged nozzles. Sometimes an hour is good. A cleaning cycle should fix it. You can move the printhead freely if you unplug the printer while the printhead is in the middle of the rail like for changing cartridges.
