HP 940c black cartridge 90% but not printing
After not using it for a couple months, I tried printing and the black
(#15 cartridge) is not giving me anything at all. The software tool says its at 90% which is probably about right. The color is working fine. I also have an old black cartrige which I swapped in - also did not work. No idea how old that one is tho Black was working fine last time I remember (about 2 months ago). I ran "clean" and "intermediate clean" without success. Is there anything else I can try or can any expert diagnose the trouble? |

Remove the cartridge and rest it with the print head sitting it on a dampened wad of paper towel. After a while put it back in the printer and try the cleaning cycle. Repeat this process if necessary. Windex may also be used instead of water to dampen the paper towel. |

Even resting it it hot water can help. A WaterPik at close range does a nice power wash too. |

Your call as to whether to buy a refilled, new, or ink. |
