Dell 720 printer

Having ordered one of these for £10 a few months ago, I've only just tried it out for the first time, and the black ink cartridge doesn't seem to print (the colour cartridge is fine).

Did anyone else experience this, and is there an easy fix?

Thanks
Dan

    The cartridges supplied with the printer only have a small amount of ink in them. It's possible the cartidge is empty or faulty.

    First remove the cartridge and check that the seal has been removed (usually a piece of tape similar to sellotape over the print head/jet/outlet.

    Failing that I'd suggest either trying that cartridge in another printer or get hold of another cartridge to try in yours.
