I have an HP desktop 3650. I just refilled the black ink cartridge and don't have a colored ink cartridge. I have the settings to print from just the black cartridge. When I print a page, the cartridge moves as though it is printing, but does not actually print anything on the page. I have gone through troubleshooting and read through my user's manual. How do I get my printer to print on the page?
You may be able to check out your cartridge by GENTLY pressing a paper towel or toilet paper to the print head area and see if any ink flows. DO NOT wipe it, as this can damage the print head/nozzles. Another trick is to set the cartridge in a bowl that has about 1/4 to 1/2 inch of warm, not hot, water in it. It may dissolve any old ink on the print head and you should see the ink leach out into the water.
