HP ENVY 5055 Wireless All-in-One (M2U85A)
Yes, I do have a subscription.
The worst part is that is I received an email saying I printed more than the monthly quota except the problem is everything I printed came out blank unless it's color yet it still counts against me. The black ink simply won't work and I tried all the troubleshooting steps found here https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04326460
During the cleaning and then the printer quality report, it only prints color blocks. Not the black ink ones.

I replaced the black ink cartridge and my issue seems to be resolved. However, I'd still like HP to do something about the defective cartridges. If HP support can help me with that, that would be great. Thank you.

@PilotInk That's awesome, I'm glad you've got that sorted,
As for the defective cartridges you can request for an envelope using the account page: click here for details
And for the lost pages, I've sent out a private message, fill in the details, and I'll do everything I can, to help you get that sorted as well.
Keep me posted.

I’ve waited over 4 months and I haven’t been told they are being dispatched. It’s like I’ve fallen off the programme. Please can I have a contact details - either phone or email - where someone can help me please. This is beyond frustrating.
