I personally experienced this problem with my HP printer. The best solution for this issue is cleaning the ink cartridge. The ink cartridge may be blocked where ink cannot pass properly. To clean the ink cartridge, please follow the instructions provided in the video tutorials below.

You should also refer to the user's manual for more information here:
