HP Photosmart Premium 310

The black ink ran out, I replaced the cartridge with a genuine HP cartridge but the printer won't print black.  No error messages, colours printing fine, test page did not print black.  I've done all the options of cleaning cartridges, aligning the printer, looking for updates etc and I don't know what to do next..
