OK, so I've refilled cartridges for years. Learned LOTS of lessons. many stained fingers...After experiences with HP and Canon, I chose a Workforce 600 AIO printer last year. Worked fine, albeit a bit slow and I STILL can't get the incoming fax set up AT ALL. Anyway, I purchased an eBay compatible re-fill set and kept them until needed. Finally, the ink was showing low on 2 orig cartridges and I made the full set switchover. Worked fine. THEN as the black ebbed and the end was near (not dry), I refilled it. Did the nozzle check. AOK. Nozzle clean, 3 times. What? No black zig-zags? Turned off printer. Restarted. Went to test print. NO BLACK AT ALL.
I did another test. Switched the BLACK cartridge into the BLUE port, and the BLUE cartridge into the BLACK port. Did a print test with 4 separate colors on the page. The BLACK cartridge printed fine - but it was in the BLUE position. The BLUE cartridge did NOT print at all in from the BLACK port. Ergo, the BLACK cartridge port is not allowing printing. Can anyone help me solve this mystery?
