Try cleaning your PRINTHEAD

PRESS set up -tools -clean printhead then clean it manually!!

This is the basket that the ink cartridges sit in. Raise the latch and remove the print head and clean the copper dotted contacts on the Printhead... also clean inside the printer where the copper dots connect to the printer. Use only a dab of bottled water and a lint free cloth. (old t shirt, paper towel or coffee filter)

MAKE SURE THE PRINTHEAD IS COMPLETLY DRY BEFORE RE INSTALLING.

If this doesnt work your printhead may have gone bad.

I hope this is helpful to you!
