Black print cartridge

[Twiessie]

The black cartridge of my HP Deskjet 3070A is still full but no black is printed see it might be a fake HP Cartridge at the bottom is made in Malaysia with the others (color) is made in Ireland. I have already cleaned the contact points of the cartridge and also set the program on the printer to clean the print heads (all the possible ways), without success. Even with normal copying no black is printed. The printing is in very light gray but so light that it is [edit]

>Hello,

Thanks for your answer. But it offers no solution.
I tried uninstalling the printer and then reinstalling it. But I get the message that the drivers must be uninstalled by the Administrators group. How can I perform that task? Because in the meantime I can not install the printer again.

Please reply on [Personal Information Removed]

Thank you in advance
