As w/ many, many others that have documented this issue, I have also came to completely hate this printer.
For the past year, I've had issues of the black ink cartridge not printing after installing a new cartride. Most of the time, eventually, it started working again. Maybe by stratigically smacking the printer, or hitting the proper combination of button, or simply just yelling at it.
However, the time- I CAN NOT GET THE PRINTER TO REPRODUCE BLACK INK. THE CARTRIDGE IS NEW, THE VENT ISN'T BLOCK, the PRINTER SHOWS IT IS FULL and SO ON.
Please, don't give the same links over and over stating to clean, align, warrenty, etc.
PLEASE PROVIDE SOME HELPFUL INFO. PEOPLE SPEND TONS OF $$$ FOR HP PRODUCTS THAT CAN'T BE USE.
I know capital letters can be taken as offensive, but a point needs to be made.
