Why will my printer not print?

Why won't my printer print in black ink...for some reason it will not.?

  • I had this problem with the old printer too so I bought a new one. If any word document is in black ink, I get a blank sheet of paper. So I am turning all my print blue, so it will print it. When I run off pictures, any place that should be black comes out white...makes for some real funky eye shots & my balck lab appeared almostly ghostly behind my son with the crazy white eyes, LOL. Anyhow, I am getting frustrated. Like I said, I thought it was the printer so I bought a new one (Kodak, had a Lexmark) It is still happening. Is there a setting in my computer that I have to change??? Please, any help would greatly be appreciated. I have an older computer (some off brand but ibm comp) I use windows xp...don't know if it matters. Thanks in advance

  • Answer:

    Change the black ink in the printer, printing lots of documents in standard black and white on the printer and then when you come to print something in colour like a picture you forget about all the black ink that you have used. Use the settings on the printer, there should be options to show you the current levels of all the ink in the printer, printer head cleaning option too.

Detach your printer from your PC, delete the printer's entry under Device Manager, install the drivers or installation disk which came along with the printer, connect back your printer to the PC.

change the ink cartridge...? black is separate from cyan, magenta, yellow (the other primaries) so it runs out faster than the color one
