My hp officejet d135 won't print with ink. I just installed two new ink cartridges. It printed out one sheet very very faintly and then wouldn't put out any more ink. The printer hasn't been used in more than a year probably. But the ink cartridges were just purchased.

Look un der the print cartridge, you should see the actual print heads or jets. they can be removed and cleaned with mild soap and water. They tend to plug up if not used regularly.

Just remove the new 2 cartridges and rub the print head in a plain paper with isopropyl alcohol until ink flows, and then return the ink cartridges and run the print nozzle for 2-3 times. After that, try to print again.
No !!! First of all they are not the same size so the black cartridge most probably won't fit on the color slot, and if for any reason you need to print more with it, the black ink would have left its "mark" inside the color ink the injectors.
I am sorry the print head goes out on the B And W on these things quite frequently. however you can go to www.hp.com amd go threw thier secdualed way of testing the print head but am sure you will find it defective. I had one and it was a problem. B e aware they have a new head that replaces the old head that lasts much longer.
# Hold the cartridge upside down, with the
bar-code label facing you and take a damp paper towel. # Use the towel to wipe the printhead of the
cartridge on the bottom (where the ink comes out). Wipe the printhead
horizontally in one direction only (left to right). # Continue doing this until it looks clean. # Then dab the cartridge on the towel to make sure
the ink is flowing. # Next, look inside the printer and locate the
carrier that holds ink cartridges. Caution: Make sure the cartridges are not
installed at this point.
1. Look for a shiny piece of metal underneath the
contacts at the back of the carrier. 2. Take a damp cotton swab (use water only!) and
wipe along the bottom of the shiny metal piece. Note: You may need more than
one swab.
# Reinstall the cartridges, making sure you snap
them correctly into the printer.
I use a clear silicone tube to carefully prime the carts by sucking a
dab of ink out of the tiny print holes before installation. I am
careful to have a tight seal at the holes to prevent getting too much
ink and possibly getting it in my mouth.
HP, in order to sell more ink, monitors the expiration date of the cartridges installed. Solution is either to buy a new unexpired cartridge from HP or to disable the date monitoring built in to the printer. This latter is done by removing the button cell located inside the D135 printer on the left hand side or by simply slipping a thin piece of plastic between button cell and metal contact. You will no longer have date function on printer, but it won't object to expired cartridges either.
