Black print problem with Dell 920 printer

I didn't buy it, it was given to me because it's owner couldn't get it to work.  I have no problem with the color but the black will not print.  I am pretty sure the black cartridge is not empty.  So before I try buying another cartridge does anyone know how I might be able to determine if it is actually a problem with the permenent print heads not lining up to the cartridge?  How can I tell if it is the machine or the cartridge?

    The bottom of the ink cart is the print head on Dell carts. Your ink cart may be empty or just clogged with dried ink. Soak the black ink cart in 1/2 inch of hot water for 15 to 30 minutes. Blot dry with clean paper towel. You should see black ink on the towel. then retry printing.
