Perhaps try under printer settings/setup on your computer, see if the printer is set to print in color or black and white. If it's set to one, try the other. Try to turn everything off and back on and print then. Make sure you put each ink cartridge in the correct slot. These are just some suggestions as to what may be wrong. I hope you can get it working properly.
