Run a cleaning cycle on the printer. Also, are you using HP or aftermarket ink?

I ran the cleaning cycle. And upon running it the second time the sheet that was printed had all the colors, but when I print a page..it does not print will
I am using original HP cartridges..These are the one's that came with my printer

If the ink is not low, make sure you are not printing in draft mode. Does a test page come out OK?

 

[pratikb]

Yes the test page comes out ok..But only colors, No black and white boxes. i am not printing in draft mode. Would printing be a problem if the Black ink levels are alos low..It denotes a low level..but not low enogh to not Print. Also I had the printer installed a long time ago..Could it be that the cartridge has gone bad or something?

Are you talking about black being light or everything?

Yes, ink cartridges do have a live span, they dry out, can clog. If the black is not printing, replace that cartridge.
