You need to make the procedure of head cleaning several times after replace the cartridge, cause sometimes some air get inside the print head in the replace. Sometimes you have to repeat the cleaning procedure 10 times. Do a test after each procedure of cleaning, and watch when it was enough.
Hello,
To fix this problem I installed a new driver and switched the paper settings to high glossey paper...so far it works...black was the only problem...color printed fine.

This could be the time to get dirty and work with your printer. Try to clean the port where the ink tank is sitting on. Start using a couple cotton swaps with a drop of plain water and wash and dry the hole. Make sure, there is a flow of ink into the hole. Test your cartridge and see if ink emanate off it, before you install it. Sometimes the plastic on the cartridge is not perforated on the seat, and there is not a flow of ink.
This is what worked (so far) with my Dell AIO A940 printer that wouldn't print black ink.
It worked for awhile when I chose photo/glossy paper, but then it quit printing again (see below).
PRINT, PROPERTIES, PAPER SETUP, SPECIALTY PAPER, PHOTO/GLOSSY
I got it to print, again, by putting SEVERAL papers in the feeder (instead of just 1) - there is a sensor that is supposed to automatically detect paper type, and it might not be working right, especially with one or only a couple of sheets.
