There’s a good chance it will work, but I’d install a new ink set before trying it. You may have to run head cleaning a few times to get it going, save the d ink cartridges and reintroduce them as needed down the road. I’ve been printing with a 2880 since it was introduced. It still produces outstanding prints.
