Why is there no ink on my printed page?

Question

I have an HP desktop 3650. I just refilled the black ink cartridge and don't have a colored ink cartridge. I have the settings to print from just the black cartridge. When I print a page, the cartridge moves as though it is printing, but does not actually print anything on the page. I have gone through troubleshooting and read through my user's manual. How do I get my printer to print on the page?

The cartridge is the original one, without the tape, snapped in correctly, with ink injected into it as said to in the instructions.

Answer 1

You may be able to check out your cartridge by GENTLY pressing a paper towel or toilet paper to the print head area and see if any ink flows.

DO NOT wipe it, as this can damage the print head/nozzles.

Another trick is to set the cartridge in a bowl that has about 1/4 to 1/2 inch of warm, not hot, water in it. It may dissolve any old ink on the print head and you should see the ink leach out into the water.

Answer 2

Did you remove the plastic tab covering the part of the cartridge that touches the paper?

Answer 3

this could rely on the type you're printing. in case you're printing out of your computing gadget. Then that's usually the utility that subject concerns the black purely command. How are you printing what utility or is it direct from the printer? Direct from the printer could mean memory card. utility could mean issues like Microsoft observe etc.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Answer 6
