Most new ink cartridges have a piece of tape over the printhead openings to prevent drying out during shipment and storage. Many people forget to remover this tape. Check to be sure the tape is removed and the cartridge is properly seated in its snap-in carriage.
(BTW, if you're using a refilled ink cartridge rather than a manufacturer's new one, then you could have substandard ink clogging the tiny nozzles and will need a new cartridge)

Do you get any error messages? If so what do they say? You could have a bad new ink cartridge that just won't let the ink out. And if it is a re-fill and not a new one, that is a good possibility.
