The ink in my black cartridge had finished and I got the cartridge refilled. Quite surprisingly, the blue text is being printed in black and the black text is being printed in blue. I have just installed the black cartridge after refilling. If there is no black ink, why blue text is being printed in black?

This is a strange problem. Have you got any solution? Please suggest.

I figured out that the problem lies in USB connection because this set USB connection is not USB 2 compatible. Kindly tell how to configure USB connection to be compatible with USB 2
