Our Deskjet 3720 has an orange ink error light and a black cartridge empty warning flashing. We have changed the black cartridge for new (twice) and cleaned all contacts as per the HP guide. The warranty expired last year so any help on here is much appreciated! Thanks.

I'm guessing there is no help from HP on here either as the printer is out of Warranty? The printer was never heavily used but essential for the children's school work if they cannot print at school, and also for the charity work I do.
