My printer stopped in the middle of a job and the nearly new black ink isn't working. I followed the online instructions to troubleshoot and finally, after cleaning the electric connections, it printed long enough to get me an alignment page, then returned to the same error and flashing light.
Currently printing in single cartridge mode so I'm not completely dead in the water, but there needs to be a better way to get replacement cartridges in a timely fashion. Can someone help?!
