I cannot get my printer to print. I have replaced all of the cartridges, and the printer acts as if it is printing, but when the paper comes out, there is nothing on it. I have unplugged the printer and restarted it. Nothing seems to work. Please help!

On the two sets of Head Cleaning, the Black is visible and clean. However when I went back to the doc page, it still prints Black in Green.
If I select print in Black & White, it prints Black, however not when I select Color, I get the Yellow, Blue, Green but not Black, it prints in Green.
