Did you use a genuine Dell cartridge? I suggest you boot into safe mode using F8 at startup. Once in safe mode remove ALL instances of the printer and unplug the printer. Reboot and install the print as per Dell instructions.

I had a problem with my Dell A920 All-In-One printer doing that. I ran out of ink and purchased new color and black cartridges from Office Max, store brand cartridges. I found out that all the cartridges for ink that Dell uses has a tiny microchip in them to tell the printer that is empty. So if you refill them, it'll give you the error message that you don't have ink. So you WILL have to buy brand new ones straight from Dell, which is not cheap, but there is no alternative. Been there, done that. Sorry for the bad news. Good news though is it's not the printer or the drivers. If it ain't broke, screw it up so you can fix it.
