Everytime i try to align my ink, the alignment page prints out fine, but then it stops there. theres supposed to be a window that asks you questions like choose the darkest square, etc, etc but it never shows up. now my color ink shows up as empty and i can only print out things in black and white and everytime i print something out the alignment prints out first. help? -- triponurtoepick Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com

What printer model? For most printers the alignment will fail if both color and black inks are not printing properly. Regards, Bob Headrick, MS MVP Printing/Imaging

Is this a genuine from the maker's cartridge or a refill -- some makes ignore refills by third parties. If it is a new maker's cartridge take it back to the store you bought it from since they should be used to replacing defective cartridges.
