If ink is not dried up look in your settings on your computer and make sure box for gray scale printing is not checked.

if the printer have disk use it and install printer driver

I think I may have another solution. I remember some time ago going to HP to get an update for my 950c printer. I think I read something that said, "If you do not really need to download this update, don't do it." I downloaded it anyway. I think then I begin to get notices saying when my ink was getting low, usually long before it actually did. I am thinking also, the same software that gave me those readings, also may have read the color cartridge (and possibly also black) may have caused the printer to turn on the blinking resume (orange light). I then deleted the updated software and reinstalled the original software that came with my computer or old application for the printer. I restarted my computer and tried it again. The blinking light did come on at first; then I realized I had not set the printing format to black only. I also disconnected my printer both and module and power for about five minutes. Still not sure since I just did this, but the orange light is not coming on and the printer prints. LOL, I am low on black ink though.

If it will only print the test sheet the printer is not seeing the computer. Check your cable connections and your drivers. Try another USB port on the computer. Go to 'Printers and Faxes' and see if your printer is listed there, if not, install it using the software supplied or look for it in the Windows list. You can also try access the Printer Assistant which comes with HP products and should be there it the software is correctly installed. There is help and support in that as well.

Make sure you have taken the protective tape off the cart printhead. make sure levers are down correctly and nothing is jamming the side travel of the head. It is possible you have defective cartridges.

reinstall the printer.

You might be able to use a q-tip with alcohol or acetone to loosen and clean residual ink from the inside and bottom of the black printer cartridge tray--I've even had to use compressed air after loosening the junk after my HP sat for a year. Btw, I'm sure you know this, but the contact pads need to be clean and free of factory tape. I hope this helps.

Printer cartridges have what is called a TSR sensor in the print head. It is basically a thermostat to tell the printer if it is at risk of overheating the print head. If the TSR on your cartridge is defective the printer will play it safe and print at slow speeds to avoid damage to the printer cartridges.
