@jreb, Welcome to HP Support Community!

 

The printer needs to have both the ink cartridges to complete the alignment. If the printer is in single-cartridge mode alignment cannot be done. Also, refer to the document Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues to resolve the print quality-related issues.

 

If 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!

The printer will not align or print correctly with just a black cartridge. Printer must have both black and a color cartridge to align and therefore be able to print correctly, even in black printing mode only.  So, although it now aligns, I print very little in color, so for what its worth, I think it is a giant waste waste of my money to have to have both cartridges installed just to print in black only.

Hi @jreb

 

HP ENVY 110 e-All-in-One printer supports printing in single-cartridge mode. You may remove the tri-color ink cartridge and print only in black. Make sure you store the tri-color ink cartridge in an airtight container so that the ink does not dry up.

You may use it while printing in color. It was required to complete the alignment process. This is as per the design of the printer.

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
