You need to be aware of the possibilities of clogs and do a nozzle 
check on a periodic basis. Anytime something seems amiss, first 
assume that you have a clogged nozzle and do a cleaning cycle if you 
have an interrupted pattern appear on the test pattern. My hunch 
would be that one of your black cartridges is clogged.

You can run cartridges to nothing and often be OK, especially the 
small cartridges like on the 2200. I know of folks who have thrown 
them away after they start blinking, thus wasting ink unnecessarily. 
It is the larger cartridges, like on the 4000 and up series numbers, 
which sometimes cannot print an uninterrupted test patterns after 
they get low, despite repeated cleaning cycles.
