Sheeeesh! A new problem every minute...

My venerable OfficeJet Pro K850 (Tabloid, 11"x17") refuses to print,
with some hp crap message that the cartridges have timed-out :-(

Anyone know a hack?

A new set of cartridges is ~$200, and I'm not sure if the print heads
will require replacing as well... it's been a year since it was last
used :-(
Good Lord! Don't you know ink jet printers have to be used at
least weekly or the heads dry out? I've never had much luck getting
working again after even a month or so. I've totally sworn off ink
jets for that reason.

I bought that K850 so long ago (Jan 2007) that inkjet was the only
economic way to get color.
