    If the black refill was previously working and isn't now, the only thing that I can think of is that the chip on the cartridge is not making good contact with the printer. Try removing it and wiping the contacts with a clean cloth - and of course avoid touching them as you re-install it.

    Some refills do tend not to work. I once had a problem with refills - same company cartridges sometimes worked but others times didn't. In the end, it never worked so just bought a new printer. It turned out much cheaper to have a new printer with cheaper cartridges.
