First I would attempt to print. I've been surprised before.
If it's clogged, those printers typically have a removable head. Get some bulk ink and refillable cartridges (this will cost less than new carts from the official source), remove the printhead, and apply some diluted Windex or 409 to the seats. You should be able to use some paper towels under the printhead to draw ink out, and you can buy "cleaning syringes" that have a fitting to cover the filter so you can GENTLY force dilute windex or other cleaning fluid through.
Sitting it overnight on a pad of paper toweling soaked in windex and water usually frees up the dried ink in the head if you also soak the top.
I've revived quite a few, including a decade old R800 that was totally dried out with pigment ink in it. Took a while, but it works well enough now to print exhibition quality prints.
