It was working fine as  printing on premium photo paper. When I switched over to plain paper the black stopped printing. When I do a print diagnostics the text does come out but the black square is empty. I then selected premium photo in the media quality options but had only plain paper in the tray. It printed once but now won't print on any paper.

My black is ok. Its my cyan that won't print. I just got told the printer was out of warranty.
