HP Deskjet 990cse.
Printer has been working fine. I ran out of black ink this week.
I inserted a printer cartridge in black that was here buried under a stack of
stuff. I didn't know if it was a new one or an old one. It had the plastic
pulled off the print head so I am assuming it was one I had used before, but
strangely, when I did a check to see how much ink it has in it- it is showing
a full ink.
But when I run the 'test' page it does when you close the door after inserting
a cartridge, one spot on the first line shows some black, and there is no black
anywhere on the rest of the page.
Printing a text test page in notepad - well nothing showed up.
I did a print clean.
I put some alcohol on the print head on the cartridge and cleaned it with
cotton.
Anyway... any more suggestions?
Could the think showing that it is a full black be wrong? I don't know how to
check that if it is the case.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
