HP Inkjet Printer

I have a HP Deskjet D1660 (USB connection to an XP Pro computer). The HP Printer has both Color and Black Cartridges, but I only need to print in black ink.    When I try to print something the first letter on each line doesn't print properly (it is faded).. I adjusted the properties of the printer for black ink only, reset the margins and replaced the cartridge.  But I still get the same result?  Any ideas?

I didn't have the software installed and wasn't able to see where to running the cleaning tool. So I manually cleaned this with a cotton swab.  Works great now.  I can't believe I didn't think of this before posting the question. I must be getting old.  Thanks for the quick help.
