I replaced my black cartridge  after getting message ink was low for about a week.  The printer worked fine before replacing the cartridge.   Black would not print, color does.  I attempted multiple times printhead cleaning without success.  I replaced the cartridge again, thinking the first was faulty and still cannot get it to print black.  I've printhead cleaned, retried placing the cartridge, checked the vent hole.  I do not get any error messages, in fact it recognizes that the black cartridge is full. Please help.  Printer out of warranty November 2019.

If you have already performed the steps from the document Black or Color Ink Not Printing, Other Print Quality Issues and the issue persists, it could be a hardware failure.

 

Please reach out to the HP Support in your region regarding the service options for your printer.

 

Hope this helps!
