Printer won`t print with black ink prints
Hi Allan
BROTHER DCP-165C BLACK INK NOZZLE BLOCKAGE CLEANING
If your
printer is under warranty then take it to a Brother Service Center for Print Head
Maintenance.
If not and you are technically minded and/or adventurous, then you
could try to clear the likely cause of this fault (potential blocked micro-nozzles on the print head) yourself.
Remove all the cartridges, wrap them in clingwrap/clingfilm and then place them
(upside down) on an old newspaper to minimize accidental leakage > remove
the print head (a small square, gold, patterned contact plate sitting at the
back of the cartridge compartment) > immerse the print head in a solvent for 24 hours (sometimes longer). Below is a webpage showing you how to create, handle, store, use your
own solvent recipe to and safely and responsibly dispose of used solvent:

Remove
and blow dry the print head until completely dry > reinstall print head >
reinstall cartridges > repeat head cleaning and test print procedures again.
For the future, either with this or any other printer, please remember these
tiny micro-nozzles can very easily become blocked with dried ink. You can
protect against this by always using good quality ink, printing regularly to
keep ink flowing through the system (including the odd unnecessary test print,
if necessary), replacing empty cartridges without delay, not allowing drying
air to dry ink residue in the micro-nozzles by never leaving a cartridge space
empty for more than the few seconds it takes to change a cartridge, always
fully prepare, unpack, unclip and unpeel the new cartridge before removing the
empty one, try to avoid being distracted while changing cartridges (so easy to
forget and leave a cartridge space empty and the cartridge bay open).
Please don't hesitate to ask for more help if you need it.
I hope this helps.
