Black ink not working.

[Sprokket]

Hi! Have a HP deskjet 3520, prod no: CX052B with problem on black ink.

Black is not working at all. Have bought a new ink, still same problem. Have done all troubleshooting, cleaning program and so on. All the color ink is good, also when printing.

When I try print only black, the paper is just blank.

Best Regards

Eirik

@Sprokket Welcome to HP Community!

I suggest you check if the copier works as a stand-alone device? If it works fine and yet the printer doesn't print black on Windows 10, use the below steps:

• Press "Windows key" + "r" to get the "Run" window.
• Type "services.msc" to get Services - Go to "Print spooler" - Right-click and "Stop" the service.
• Now again open "Run" - Type "spool" and ok - Go to PRINTERS folder - delete everything in that folder.
• Go to services again - Start the print spooler.
• Now check for issue resolution.
• If the issue persists, unplug the USB cable from the printer (if present). 
• Go to Control panel - Programs and feature - Select all the HP printer entries and uninstall them.
• Now go to Control panel - Devices and printer - Select all the printer entries and remove the device.
• Press the "windows key" + "r" to get the "Run" window open - Type "printui.exe /s" (There is a space between .exe & /) and press enter.
• Under print server properties, go to drivers - remove any entry there as well.
• Again, go to the Run window, type - "c:/programdata" - Go to the Hewlett Packard folder, remove any printer related folders & files.
• Restart your computer.

Then, use this link to access the HP website, find the drivers compatible with your windows and install it: click here for reference & click here to download.
