HP Officejet 5746
Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan

I have a HP Officeject 5746 printer.  I recently changed the ink, both color and black and when I print from the computer or try to make a copy on the printer the page comes out blank.  The first pages from the printer came out like the printer was low on ink and them came out completely blank.
