It looks like the black conducts get dry. My printer keeps doing this and I amke it work by sprayin Windex on the sponge where the printer heads park. To do this, sent a printout and while the head is printing, you spray windex until you fill the sponge, then let the head sit por a few minutes and run a cleaning cycle. It works on my printer. Try and see what happens.

I want to print and copy only in black but the printer is not allowing me cause one of the other toners is empty. How do I solve this problem, I work in a non-profit after-school and do not have the funds to purchase another tones. Black toner in new.

Thanks for your help,
Mr. Frank

I tried deep cleaning a few times, two new black ink cartridges and still nothing. The color cartridge is working but black is not. I checked ink levels and there is a question mark next to the black ink cartridge. Do I need to get a new print head?

My color cartridge is empty, but my black ink cartridge still has ink. Why is it printing so faintly? How can I make it so color prints in black only?
