I don't print a lot, and the last time I did it worked fine.  However, when I try to print now, there is no black print.  I have cleaned the heads and run all of the other troubleshooting and diagnostics, but it still does not print black.  There is still a small amount of ink shown as available, but I think that it just must be dried up.  How can I get a replacement cartridge when my old one still shows ink available?  The Instant Ink Customer Support page is no help and  just takes me in circles - every time I click on something it takes me back to where I have already been.  Very frustrating and useless.
