Hello, 

 

My printer won't print at all in black.  This morning it was printing but had lots of streaks in it so I have cleaned the printhead & done the alignment, but although it prints bits in colour, nothing comes out in black.  I have changed all the ink cartridges & reset the printer by unplugging at the mains, but I don't know what to do next.

Thank you for your advice.

 

Unfortunately,  I wasn't able to solve the problem.  As the printer is out of warranty & a few years old, I have bought another HP printer in its place.  This time I have taken out a 3 year replacement cover 🙂
