HP ENVY 4520 All-in-One Printer

I received a new black ink cartridge from my Instant Ink account a while back. I replaced the old one the other day with it. However, no black ink will come out. The printer detects that it is in fact a new and full cartridge. I do not receive any errors and it acts like it's printing just fine. Color ink works, but not the new black ink. I've used the tools for cleaning the cartridges, and attempted to clean the contacts and prime the ink as recommended, however these did not work. I believe there is an issue with the cartridge itself.

How do I go about getting a new ink cartridge?

If your printer has a rechargeable battery, remove it.

With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the printer.

Unplug the power cord from the power source.

Wait 60 seconds.

Reconnect the power cord to a wall outlet and to the printer.

 

NOTE: HP recommends plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet.

Turn on the printer to complete the reset.

I did all of these steps, and it still does not work. I simply want a new ink cartridge and I will gladly send this one back. That's all I want. Plain and simple.
