Easy Share 5300 Won't Print In Black But Will Print In Colors

I'm trying to print a letter and the black ink will not print. I installed a new cartridge and it still won't print in black. The black ink cartridge is installed correctly and I have received no error message. I can print in colors but not in black. Whats wrong??
