Everything seems to work fine as I go through the steps to print a text document. The computer and printer seem to be going through the process but when the paper emerges from the printer, it is perfectly blank. If I use the copier, it works fine. The problem is only when I try to print off of the computer, like a Word document.
It’s making te noise of printing or just get the paper and got it out fast ? If goes straight out is the driver if goes line by line and is blank the cartridges are dryed or the injector are clogged with old ink. Time to buy a new one or send it to maintenance

I am currently having the same problem with a 17" iMac Intel Core Duo. The printer worked fine for a few months, now it will only print in black and white and sometimes in color that is extremely faded. I have tried every troubleshooting tip in the book and still no luck.

Had the same issue... No black ink. Called the # from "Solution #1" guest, 18004216699. Had to patiently go through all the basic trouble shooting stuff like calibration, print head clean, demo print, etc. Once I went through that, they issued me a new print head for free, no shipping charges or anything. Just did this today, but they say I should have the print head in 3 days.
For once, service worked like it should!

I think if I have to replace the printhead again, I'll replace the printer. The ink is cheaper by the cartridge, but the cartridge does not last near as long. Not sure it's cheaper, and am sure it's not 50 per cent cheaper as they claim. When it works it's great, but it's getting a short trip to the dumpster when it quits again.

Clean the printhead, then print a demo sheet.
If the Demo print is bad- IE: no black, blurry print etc., then you may need to replace the printhead:
