Replaced black ink cartridge when indication empty, with a new one. Then got "Cartridge Problem" message that BOTH color and black cartridge empty even though I never used color printing ever and, as I noted, black replacement was brand new.  I tried again with another new black cartridge but same message pops up and both cartridges again show empty. Is this normal? Do I need to replace the color cartridge? Seems waste of money? Will this allow change to show a new black cartridge not empty and both would then work. Not able to find anywhere that explains this. Thanks for any help.
