HP6975 Does Not Print Black

[pkeimig1]

I am having a problem with my HP6975 printer. It won't print Black.

I cleaned the Printhead multiple times - no good

I tried 2 new Black Cartridges - no good

I tried a Hard power reset - no good

I removed the printhead and cleaned it - no good

I replaced the printhead - no good

Nothing seems to work to get this printer to print Black...HELP!!

@pkeimig1, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

I understand the printer is not printing in black. I appreciate your efforts in trying to resolve this issue by performing the necessary troubleshooting steps.

As you have cleaned the printhead, used 2 different black ink cartridges, and yet the issue persists, I'm afraid the issue is with the printer. Please reach out to the HP Technical Support team in your region regarding the service options for your printer. 

You may create a case on the website to obtain a case number if required. Kindly watch this video to know how.

@bjørnes, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Did you try any of the above-mentioned steps?

Try making a standalone copy in black and check if that works. By this, we can conclude if this is a hardware or a driver issue.

Perform the steps mentioned in this document - Black or Color Ink Not Printing, Other Print Quality Issues

Check the ink levels in all 4 ink cartridges and replace any low/empty ink cartridges, lean the printhead up to 2 times, print a quality report to check the result.

Keep me posted.
