Default '99 Windshield Washer Fluid Not Spraying

Hi, I have a '99 Camry that the windshield washer fluid ran out, when I filled it back up it now only sprays a little out of the drivers side, and none out of the passenger side. What would cause this? It was working fine before and was only empty for a couple of weeks.

Thanks!

Disconnect the under hood fluid hoses from the spray nozzles then blow compressed air back through the spray nozzles. Also activate the washer fluid when the hoses are disconnected to see if you get good and equal flow through them. If not then you'll have to trace back to the blockage. I would not use compressed air with the hoses connected as that could blow a hose from its connection at a point not easily accessable. Thiswill happen again if you have crud in the fluid reservoir. If you can I would removeand flush it.
