Printing lines (deskjet) followup

I just read that you should use the printer at least once a month
(which I did not do) and not to store a cartridge on its side. If I
have damaged a cartridge in this way, is there anything I can do to
fix it besides getting a new cart?

Why would not using it for a while damage it?

Have you stored opened cartridges outside the printer? This would definitely
allow them to dry out.

If you have not done this already you should run up to three cleaning cycles
from the toolbox. (Each cleaning cycle will do a bit more aggressive cleaning).
