HP deskjet 3630
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I bought a printer from Amazon last year but I have never convinced it to print in black and white, I can get it to print in colour but the colours are not true (like a photo negative) It seems to connect to the computer ok, I installed the ink cartridges that came with it and they seem to click in fine they register that they are both full on the printer. But when I go to print something it will suck through the relevant number of sheets and behave like it is printing but there is no ink on the paper when it comes out. So far I have just changed print to a colour so I can get a print (don't do too much printing) but this is less than ideal and quite frustrating.

Can someone tell me what the problem is and how to fix it.

I really don't want to have to replace my new printer!

Thanks.
