 ‎This is a previous answer, and actually works for me - Is there any way to correct what I presume is an HP programming fault?

Hi, I have the same problem and I've tried all the usual HP methods... none of them work.

However when I switch to a glossy paper setting from the printer driver my blacks come out fine. Does this work for you?

When you select glossy paper the printer prints black using a colour cartridge ( mixing cyan magenta and yellow to get black).

 

You are waisting colour ink on printing black, replace the black ink cartridge and the printer will print black on plain paper.
