@SundaeMorning, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

Is the printer enrolled in Instant Ink?

If yes, Instant Ink servers will monitor the ink levels on the printer and automatically ship the replacement ink cartridges when the ink levels is low.

 

For now, let us try these steps:

 

Reset the printer

  1. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
  2. Wait at least 60 seconds.
  3. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
  4. Turn ON the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
  5. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you proceed.

Note: HP recommends connecting the printer directly to a wall outlet rather than a surge protector or a power strip.

Make sure there are no paper jams and the print carriage moves freely.

You may re-insert the ink cartridges.

 

For info on resolving print quality issues, refer to - Black or Color Ink Not Printing, Other Print Quality Issues

You may clean the ink cartridges and then print a print quality page as shown in the above document.

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

Thank you for your suggestions, Kumar.   I am enrollled in Instant Ink and the status says I should be receiving ink in a month.  Since 12/2018 when I received the Welcome Kit, I've only received 1cartridge (11/2019) which was a tri-color.  I need black ink because the print quality is poor now.  The status indicates the black ink level is very low.  I'd really like a new ink cartridge soon because I've paid for a new cartridge many times over by now.  I do plan on doing the firmware updates as you recommended.
