Ink situation is not as bad I thought. Printer #1 had the dark cyan and dark black cartridges empty. Printer #1 had cyan low but enough to turn on for testing.
I tried to do a nozzle check on printer 2 but for some reason it thinks the paper is not or incorrectly loaded. Printer number 1 (using C and MK/PK cartridges from #2) does the nozzle check and shows only the cyan with some clogs. I guess this is understandable since it was left with an empty cyan cartridge. I will try to find out why #1 does not feed paper and see if its heads are in better shape. Overall things are looking pretty positive.
