On the rear or the ink cartridge, you'll notice a small hole.  Take a paper
clip, push it into the hole, and pump the black sack inside the plastic
shell until some ink comes out the front end.  Then take a tissue and dry
off the front.  This trick should work.  I had the same problem and called
up an authorized dealer.  That was the solution given by them.
