@Turfman, Welcome to the HP Support Community! I’m here to help.

 

I see that the printer is not printing in black. Make sure you have tried the steps mentioned in this document - Black Ink Not Printing and other Print Quality Issues

 

Use an alternate black ink cartridge(old/new) if available, and check if it helps.

 

If the issue persists with 2 different black ink cartridges, we can conclude the issue is with the printer.

As the printer is out of warranty, I suggest you upgrade the printer. You may visit Hp Store to check the available printers.

 

Keep me posted for any other assistance.
