I have an HP 250 all in one portable inkjet printer.  I use it when I travel for three months out of the year.  I find that when I go to use it after a long period of non-use, the injkjet cartridges (HP 62) have a poor print quality.  Maybe they dry our or for some other reason the print quality is unacceptable.  Therefore, I have to replace the cartridges when there should be plenty of ink still available.  Are there any suggestions to prolong the life of the cartridges without having to keep using the printer regularly?

If you don't use your printer for 9 months ink dries. You need to use it regularly to prevent ink from drying.
