Change cartridge to a new one and it does not print anything,the other 3 colors are so it is getting to the print head and the black seems not to be there at the print head. I have clean ,clean with printer cleaning instructions and nothing.
Did you use genunie brother black ink cartridge?
ALL…. Epson & Brother Requires Genuine Cartridges. !!!!!!!!
These printers have a CHIP that will detect if it is Generic or Genuine. When they see it’s Generic Cartridges, it will print lines thru the words, stripes across the picture and also do a mix match with the colors. It also will not let you print anything, if only one of the cartridges is empty.
I wanted to print only Black, and would not let me, because I did not have any ink in one of my cyan cartridges. Go figure.
I located a page on http://www.fixyourownprinter.com forum, which had plenty of details about similar issues.

The print head is clogged.If not unclogging with cleaning process may you try to clean manualy.You need to dissasembly the hole printer to remove the print head.Put it in hot water.If you don't have a technical skills, don't try anything.
If not help just buy new printer, because the new print head will cost you as much more.

This could be several things, some of which may mean your machine will have to be repaired by a Brother agent (probably cost you more than a new one), and or it's time to bin it.
However, sometimes it's just because the print head, or the pipes that connect the ink tanks to the print head, have become blocked with dried out ink.
If you search on YouTube, you will find a few videos that show how to clear such blockages - you may not find your exact model number, but many Brother machines use almost identical components to many others so the basic technique will be the same.
Also search on Ebay for printer cleaning/head blockage kits - quite a few printers (not just Brother) suffer similar problems and a few businesses have sprung up on EBay that sell kits to help you sort this. They sometimes have links to a video they have produced showing how to use the kit which can give you ideas.
Again, your exact model number or even make might not come up but these kits might be adaptable to your machine.
Got to be worth a tenner or so before binning it !
Good luck.
