You print cartridges has a blockage.  Run a few print head cleanings.  Your manual will tell you how to do this.

If the printer is using liquid ink, you can open it up, take out the ink cartridge, and shake it to listen and guesstimate how much you have left. If you start to see streaks and lines in your printed material, thats when you're running out.

The electronics on your cartridge are probably dirty or damages.   Remove the cartridge, look at the back.  Make sure that there is no tape or debris obstructing them.\n\nIf the contracts appear to be a dull brown color then they dirty/corroding.   Take a pink eraser and gently wipe in one direction.   \n\nIf all else fails it may be time to replace the cartridge, or even the printer.

Run a print head cleaning. Especially if your printer sits for a while in between uses.  A print head cleaning will flush out any dried ink and debris that could be the problem.     When the print head cleaning is done you will get a diagnostic page.  If all seems well print keep printing.   If there is any fading, streaking or odd tones to any colours replace the cartridge.

Depending on your printer, the Maintenance Program may have a CLEANING option.  That might do the trick.   \n\nGo to the Control Panel, and pick PRINTERs, then right click on your printer and pick PROPERTIES.   If there is a maintanence section, pick CLEANING or DEEP CLEANING as my Canon printer has. \n\nIt is also possible that your new cartridge has failed.   Remove it, and try using a kleenex to wipe the electrical contacts clean.   If none of this works, see if you can take it back to where you bought it. \n\nSTAPLES is very HASSLE FREE about returns and exchanges.    They never charge a restocking fee.

You can reset the default in your printer properties.  You can reset default in document properties.  You can individually check the color associated with each document as you print.\n\nhave fun, kiss the naughty kitty!!  What a funny question, thanks for the giggle.

Your ink level is just a page counter.\n\nIf you have been printing things like photographs which use much more ink than the ink level is calibrated for, then you cartridge may be empty.\n\nIf you don't use your printer often, IE withing the last couple weeks, there is a good chance the print head on your cartridge has dried out. Run a couple print head cleanings (your manual will tell you how to do that).  If you see no improvement then it is unfortunately time to replace the cartridge.

Has it been awhile since you have used the printer?\n\nThe sad fact is that over time when a printer is not in use ink will dry in the print head.   When this happens the only remedy is repeated print head cleanings.  You should find instructions on how to do this in your manual.  If you find that  you have gone through about 20 cleanings with no improvements , then unfortunately it may be time to take the printer to be professionally serviced, or replace the print head.  \n\nAs a warning cleaning does suck up a lot of ink, but it is in the name of getting the printer going again.

You are mostly likely out of magenta (the pink ink)  \nPrint out a test page or diagnostic page. If there is any fading or disruption in the magenta ink.  Run a print head cleaning and test again.\n\nIf there is no improvement, replace the cartridge.

I had this problem at work.  It was the printer driver.  Make sure you have the latest compatible driver set up your computer.  That's about all I can tell you.\n\nIf this is at work, contact your administrator.

Actually, I believe you would need to change the color of the text you are trying to print.

Not an easy question to answer.You have not said what is wrong with it. It could be anything ?  \nWill it print OK?    Have you any lights flashing ?  Will it print a test page ok?   Have you an empty ink cartridge ?\nSomeone might be able to answer your question if you give us more details

If you're running low on colour ink that should be the reason, if not. Maybe the ink carton you purchased isn't compatible [if that is the right word for the situation] with it.\n\nI'd try another brand to see if it works better.
