I would, in order,
- run the print head cleaning utility that should have come with
the printer
- replace the black cartridge (If there is no black cartidge -
some printers "make" black by using the color cartridge and I can't
recall on the 750 - then I would replace the color cartridge).
- checl the advanced settings on the printer setup dialog just
in case something got messed up there.
The sad part is that inkjet printers are inexpensive enough so as
to be disposable when problems happen - repair just isn't cost
effective.
Good luck!
Thanks for asking,
Leo
