Printer is running but wont print on the paper . There seems to be ink in the cartrage, can the ink dry out if it was not used for awhile,should I change it ?

if you have a printer fax machine the problem might simply be inserting the paper in the correct slot. Unfortunately, the directions for some printer are really lacking .... i would try putting the paper in what might seem to be the fax slot. Another possibility is that the ink cartridges are not opened... the silver foil need to be removed before loading... Some printer have a print test button that sets up the printer to work properly I would try that as well. Hope this is helpful

Print out a test print to see what comes out. If the printer is printing the black and colour blocks then the printer should be OK. If not then check the black and colour inks to make sure they are OK and remove each of the cartridges and reinstall them. Then run a full cleaning cycle and reprint the test sheet. Keep doing this until all the inks are printing OK. Then run an alignment test making sure that there is plain white paper in the paper tray and adjust the printer as necessary.

THE BLACK INK CART. either dried or end , make a test , take out the cartridge and get a piece of paper towel and pass it gently
where the ink is .hope this helpful AJ

There is a great possibility that that the cartridge is bad.
You could take it back to Ink Stop to check and for an exchange.
Most of the time the cartridge may be overfilled.
Check the cartridge printhead, if it is wet, blot it dry with a paper towel.
If is a color cartridge, check for all 3 colors are present
by pressing the printhead on a piece of paper
if 1 color is missing, the printer will sense the cartridge as bad.
Do the following steps in installing the cartridges
Remove both catridges
Unplug printer, wait 3 minutes, plug back printer.
Turn printer back on
Wait until printer stop
Check the contacts of the cartridge to be clean
Install both cartridges.

When you put in a "new" cartrage the printer sens an electrical charge to the cartrage to set it up properly. So I would treat this as a new cartrage, rather than a refilled one. Go to the printer menu and re install the ink cartrage in question, it should recognise it and start the function as a new one, good luck

first try taking out the cartrage and try uninstalling the printer off your computer then reinstalling it. before putting in your cartrage make sure your computer detects it and your computer should tell you that it detcets no ink then try replacing it. if the problem consists make sure youave the right cartgae for that printer. Then check that nothing (paper, pen, anything) is stuck or jamming the computer blocking the cartage sensors,

in the printer little sceen go to the settings and and select Clean Print Head

must have both cartrages in to work. insert another one turn off and restart his should solvre problem

The printer does not feed paper from the tray and then states that there is a paper jam. I have removed all paper and there isn't a paper jam. It will feed paper through the lower roller and straight into the printed paper tray, but will not feed a new sheet.

Put your project on a disk or pen drive and take to to a different computer. Color printers have lock outs that will stop the printer once one color runs dry (this may be different on some printers, but not all)
