PIXMA TS3522 - Black Ink Not Printing

[Lalique75]

My printer is only recognizing "Color Ink" and not black ink no matter what I do. How do I reset this? It originally was an E03 and E04 error message, until I fooled around and cleared some things. However now I cannot get it to print anything with the black ink cartridge I bought a few weeks ago. Any ideas?
