By official cartridges. Trying to refill is just a waste of time and money. There is no such thing as a free lunch. Shell out the extra money and buy the real thing.

Try cleaning the print head using Q-tips and rubbing alcohol (or toilet paper).
If this doesn't help, try steaming the heads. (I use the whistle hole of a tea kettle myself)
Then try the alcohol again while the heads are stll warm.
Steaming not only loosens hardened ink, it hydrates it again too, but it will dry again quickly, so you ned to wipe them pretty soon after.
The last thingto try is pressurizing the cartridges through the breater holes, but be warned, this may cause ink to drip from the cartridge!!!
Also keep in mind that any print head is only good for so many refills. If you have refilled the cartridge more than 30 times, you should likely get a fresh set.

Buy the right new cartridges, re-filling just does not work very well. The little bit you might save on re-filling is just not worth the headache.
