HP ENVY 6055 All-In-One Printer
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Print quality was getting bad so just installed new HP brand color cartridge, black is HP too and was half full so didn't replace black. System shows color is full and black is half full. Did the print alignment  function, TWO cleanings, advanced cleaning and reseated both cartridges. I see absolutely no change in print quality.  All colors are light and it stopped printing black.  Printer is barely a year old!!!!  Does HP program them to die after warranty has expired? How can I get it to print correctly again?

Thank you!  I've been out of town but before I left I bought new black ink that resolved the problem.
