Have you checked the ink level on the black ink cartridge? It's probably out. Or if it's a new cartridge, make sure the tape covering the connecter has been taken off.

My wife has a Canon MP540 printer.
Her ink system is running out. She lives in Denmark, where things are almost criminally expensive! She has asked me if I can help and, frankly, I can't without your help.
Where ought I / she to look for decent, compatible, inks? Is there such a thing as 'decent, compatible, ink' ?
Where can I find good, easily understood, instructions and do I need to buy some product to re-programme a micro-chip? If so, what do I need, where do I get it?
What would you (personally) feel is the right sort of price to pay for compatible ink and for any gizmo that I/she need to buy to re-programme a so-called 'intelligent' chip?
Monetary answers / estimates in US$, GB£ or European ? (Euros) please, as I can sort of get my head around these currencies without too much trouble.
Best,
HERNS
