I connected my old printer to my new computer after it had not been used in about a year.  I have replaced the cyan, yellow and magenta cartridges.  The black is half full.  I can not get it to print in anything except cyan and yellow.  I have run the clean print head thing at least 10 times now.  Still nothing.  I have also tried popping out the magenta and black - to make sure thye were all the way in.  Any ideas?
