Regularly clean your printer (especially the print head carriage and surrounding areas), use quality paper, and avoid overloading the paper tray. Also, print frequently to prevent ink from drying out and clogging the print head. If the printer will not be used for an extended period, turn it off properly instead of just unplugging it.
