Not printing the new black cartridge on Brother DCP110C will not print but the colours do

Has the printer printed a good yellow using this ink tank at all?

It appears that one can purchase the black cartridge separately from the colour cartridges. But your Brother machine is designed to stop ALL printing operations when any of the ink cartridges are empty. In that case you would need to replace all ink cartridges that are empty in order to resume printing.

Ok you have to change your printing settings to operate from the black ink cartridge. You are still printing under colour.

try cleaning the heads and if that does not work put in a new cartridge

Hi,


The nozzle may be blocked. So take out the colour cartridge and place its nozzle in a bit of water for about 10 mins. Bring it out and dab the nozzle with folded paper. If the tissue is blotted with the three colour it means you have unblocked the nozzle. Try now to print after returning the colour cartridge. You may need to repeat to get good results.


Thank you!!

you need to check the maintainence kit and see if it's full. Also if it isn't, use some iso-proponal alcohol and some q-tips to clean the print section of the cartridge and the cartridge tray.

with all brother printers all the ink cartridges must be full or the printer will not print brother tech

tape up the side thats the outside theres a black bit inside just cover it up that will do it

Ok here are a few things to try first, if they fail to work, reply here with the results and we can work from there..

1.) remove the cartridge and blot it on tissue paper to ensure it has ink..

2.) go to the printer preferences
Start / All Programs / Printers and Faxes,,
Right Clik on the printer and click properties

YOUR PRINTER SETTINGS MAY VERY FROM HERE BUT ITS BASICALLY THE SAME PRINCIPAL AND YOU WILL FIND THE FEATURES JUST PROBERALLY IN ANOTHER LOCATION

Click Printing Preferences then maintenance
Click Cartridge settings
Ensure its set to print from both black and color cartridge..

Just find the settings and make sure its set to print from both cartridges..

Let me know how that plays off and we can work from there...
but that should work..

I have the same problem, does anyone know what I can do. I have tried cleaning the head but it doesn't work.
