HP Deskjet 1513 All-in-One Printer

1. Printed pages that looked like black ink was running out (seemed early and "estimated ink levels" showed about 25% full still though... hmmm)

2. Replaced cartridge (HP 61XL  2023/04/25 Y)

3. Alignment page had no black. 

4. Did the "clean ink cartridges" and "clean printer" operations - still no black

5. Removed & replaced cartridge. Saw that there was wet ink on the strip - but got same results - no black print.

6. Came here. Found same question from Jan 2022. Went to Customer Support. Out of Warranty and I don't have "sufficient privileges" to send messages-- so I've come back here for advice...

7. Tried unplugging and redoing steps1-5

8. It's 7 years old but has very low usage. Do I need a new printer now? If so, do you know why?

9. BTW, my location is: USA

HELP!? PLEASE, TIA
