This could be one of two problems, 1) you are out of
black ink, 2)You have been printing all the time in
colour and the one colour needed to make black has run
out or dried up, if the latter option is the answer, then
you should try going into your control panel, printer
settings, and make sure you have you default set to black
instead of colour.

If Ink jet printers are not used for a period of time the ink at
the nozzle will solidify. Usually, all printers have a built-in feature
called "Nozzle Check" or "Head Cleaning". If you run both of
these maintenance tools the clogged head/nozzle may be cleared.
Open Printers, Right click your specific printer and search for
Maintenance or Advanced properties which is where you will
find the functions to clean your printer.

Otherwise, you'll need to remove the black cartridge and swab
the ink port with alcohol as someone already suggested.
 
Hey guess what she is now as dumb as all that, my lexmark z611 is doing
the same thing and I have put a new cartridge in the printer and
cleaned it as suggested. When I do a nozzle check, it will print 2
sections of the black ink with the arrows for alignment and not the
third? Figure that one out and when I try to print a document it prints
all the color and no black ink? Please, does anyone have any suggestions
besides not so nice ones? Thank you.
