Sometimes the 3rd party ink is of poor quality and can clog the nozzles. Best bet is to get some good quality cartridges and then have the printer perform a few cleanings via the management software. It wastes ink but it may get you printing again. If that does not work you'll need to decide whether it's cheaper to get the printer serviced by a repair shop or just buy a new one.
