Assuming you can still see ink in the cart,
Try removing the print head and cleaning it. I've found some non canon carts
tend to occasionally flood the nozzles. This may have happened and the extra
ink dried out overnight.
To remove print head, remove all carts and raise the lever on the r/h side,
print head just lifts out.

Alternatively just try a few deep cleaning cycles from the printers
software.

The IP1500 is the black sheep of the Canon family. You should at least
get an IP4200 for about $80 on sale and after any offered rebates.
 
I tried three deep cleanings ,that didn't solve the problem,i
reinstalled the driver, that didn't help either,the only thing i didn't
try is cleaning the print heads,which i don't know how to ,can someone
tell me how to do that?

three deep cleanings isn't always enough for the black cartridge on
some canons. I would aso try a few normal cleanings too. I certainly
wouldn;t worry about wasting a bit of ink or something if the head is
clogged badly. do it print test, do it print test, do it do it, and do
it some more. Really

How much printing have you done in the past week? The Canon IP1500 has
rather small black cartridges (BCI-24, right? Only 150 pages text -
much less if you're printing photos, etc). If you have 'a lot of
printing' all the time, then the cartridge is probably empty already.

I am not sure about this but if it was first cartridge it may not have
been completely full.
 
Canon cartridges supplied with new printers are fully filled, but the
cartridges on the iP1500 have a very small capacity to begin with so it's
understandable why the user ran out of ink so fast.
