Try this:

 

1. take out the ink cartridge and put it back in.

2. cleant he ink cartridge contacts

try also to check the software you are using maybe its not set to the right color..

or try doing a nozzle clean

I just recieved the 725 Printer and it won't print in Black.

 

It will only print black text in green.

Same problem here.  The 725 (only two hours in my possession) 1825 on 1/16/07) I got prints in grey and the colors are pastels.  I've run through what I take as their tips.  What do we have here?:smileysurprised:

 

I'll not order more ink unless I know this can be resolved.:smileymad:

i think dell will replace your cartridges within a certain period of time if your having problems with them. in your case, you only have it for just a couple of hours. call them and see if they'll replace it.
