@lm32, Welcome to HP Support Community!
I see that the printer does not print in black, follow the steps below-
Update the printer firmware
Download available firmware updates from the HP website
With the printer on and connected to the computer, go to HP Customer Support - Software and Driver Downloads, and then identify your printer. Look for and install any available firmware updates. Refer to the document HP Printers - Updating or Upgrading Printer Firmware
Perform troubleshooting steps from the document Black or Color Ink Not Printing, Other Print Quality Issues.
