Went to the shop to get black and cyan cartridges refilled. Came back and inserted the black cartridge. It is now stuck. I noticed on the cyan cartridge that there was a black lid over where the ink was. I removed the lid and the Cyan cartridge fits and can be removed easily, along with yellow and magenta cartridges. Again, there's a black cartridge (with a lid over the ink part) jammed in the printer. Tried to force it out a little but I don't want to break it. Any help is appreciated.

Have you checked to see if the jet area on the bottom of the ink cartridge has a blackish sludge on them? It might be that the area that the print cartridges are purged/cleaned to one side of the printer (sometimes called a service station, or spitoon) has built up excess ink that has gotten thick and high enough that as the carriage goes over that area the bottom of the cartridge gets polluted with the blackish sludge. It will work slightly into the jets where the ink comes out and cause discoloration, even after you change the color cartridge. Open the unit to look inside with a flashlight for build ups and clean it (if you find some) with disposable things like cotton swabs, coffee stirrers, whatever you have that wont damage anything inside. Another cause could be mixing of the cyan and magenta and yellow somehow inside making a dark color representing black - but replacing the cartridge would cure it immediately.

This is the reset procedure for this kinda printer ..and usually fixes this kinda problems ..specially when the ink cartridge is not seen or recognized
