Finally diagnosed the problem: Dirty Printhead on 14 year old printer: Not fixed yet. Knowing the problem is half the solution

 So it took all night but I finally got the super "latest" version of Windows and the printer STILL did not print and none of the patches to fix their printer "glitch" would upload.

So I know that this type of printer sometimes does not print black. So I went back to examine this.

When I found this on youtube to compare then I realized - the print calibration was also lacking black. It has black on top - that's why I was fooled. But the "bars" are missing - no black "blocks." Except that top block by the diagonal line.

Since we have a new cartridge and the previous black was faded - so that means the Printhead must be the problem. Print calibration is on its own - no connection to Windows. So that's a big relief.
