[SOLVED] Install new ink cartridge but don't see any ink?

optical24 · 06-09-2009, 10:21 PM

I have a Hp deskjet 845c for six years now, which I barely use. However, when I was printing off my essay the ink ran out so I replaced it with new one then I reprinted my essay off, but this time the paper was blank, so I tried it again and the paper was blank once again (hint I bought the two Hp 15 black ink cartridges 4 years ago). Does anyone know what is the problem?

go into the printer properties and run the head cleaning

it's not recommended to keep cartridges longer than 12 months

Thank you for replying to my problem, I left the cartridge in the printer over night. So this morning I tried it again, but this time the paper was not blank :)
