1st you just try with the printing in best mode. still the quality is not up to the mark then try with cleaning. otherwise replace the catridge.

check to see if the color cartridge has the plastic tab on the cartridge. Remove and reinsert cartridge.

Hello,

Often ink printers will get clogged. This is especially the case if it sits idle for a while between uses, but can happen even with actively used printers. Try running the Dell printer's Head Cleaning Utility.

• This is usually found by going to:
  Start > Control Panel > Printers and Faxes
• Rightclick on your printer's icon
• Choose Properties off the new menu
• Click Maintenance
• From there you should see the controls for Printhead Cleaning.

You should see an improvement after about 2-3 cleaning runs. This does use ink, but may be your best bet to resolve the issue.

Hope this helps,

Chris

Our Dell AIO A940 stopped printing black ink. Tried so many things, and finally (a year later) got it to print by selecting:

PRINT, PROPERTIES, PAPER SETUP, SPECIALTY PAPER, PHOTO/GLOSSY

It's worth a try! Good luck!
