HP Deskjet 2544 All-in-One Printer
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Installed color and black number 61XL cartridges and it won't print now, but it will scan. Setup is LAN cable and not Wi-Fi right now.  I reinstalled

the 2 old used-up dry cartridges and it attempts to print as the carriage/ink cartridges slide back and forth.  But those two cartridges dried

out years ago, but I tried to print right now with them to see if they would respond at all.  They did, but they have no ink in them.
