HP ENVY Photo 6255 All-in-One Printer
Microsoft Windows 11

Printer does not print black ink.  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers, restarting the computer and the printer, resetting network connections, and nothing seems to work.  I am beyond frustrated that I cannot communicate with an actual person who can help me.  I am ready to just toss it and look for another printer company.

Please try to remove the cartridges from the printer then follow these steps to perform a hard reset on the printer,

  • Press the Power button to turn on the product,
  • With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product,
  • Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet,
  • Wait at least 15 seconds,
  • Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet,
  • Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product,
  • If the product does not turn on by itself, press the power button to turn it on,
  • Printer comes back on and asks for the cartridges, then go ahead and put them back in.

Regards.
