Hi Janemo, I work for HP and might be able to help you. I see you have installed a new black cartridge already and again reinstalled it twice again but still no luck. There are a few other tasks we can do to try and fix this.
Since you have already tried the cartridges, maybe now we can try to "reset" your printer.
- Press the Power button ( ) to turn off the printer.
NOTE: Pressing the Power button might not turn off the printer. This might happen if the printer is in an error state. Continue with these steps regardless. - Disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.Figure 17: Disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printerImage: Disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
- Disconnect the USB cable from the rear of the printer.Figure 18: Disconnect the USB cable from the rear of the printerImage: Disconnect the USB cable from the rear of the printer.
- Wait 30 seconds.
- Reconnect the USB cable to the printer.Figure 19: Reconnect the USB cable to the printerImage: Reconnect the USB cable to the printer.
- Reconnect the power cord to the printer.Figure 20: Reconnect the power cord to the printerImage: Reconnect the power cord to the printer.
- Press the Power button ( ) to turn on the printer.
- Try printing again.
- If these steps resolved the issue , you do not need to continue troubleshooting.
- If the issue persists , continue to the next solution.Please let me know how that works - our next step will be to restart your pc but we will take this one first.🙂

I have a very simular problem, its goes through the motion of printing but you can hardly see the print. It is very dim and I installed a new cartrige and the printer show a full ink. It prints the color test ok but never the black part.

Hi rosiemae,
You could try running the clean printhead utility up to 3 times. Click Here If that doesn't help, you can follow the other steps in the link. Let me know how it goes.
