Hi @Chrys17,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

 

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your printer's cartridge!  

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

 

Check Cartridge Installation

  • Open the printer cover and remove the black cartridge.
  • Reinsert it firmly until it clicks into place.

Align the Printhead

  • Go to HP Smart app > Printer Settings > Print Quality Tools > Align Printhead
  • Follow the on-screen instructions.

Clean the Cartridge Contacts

  • Turn off the printer and unplug it.
  • Remove the cartridge and wipe the copper contacts with a lint-free cloth.
  • Reinsert it and restart the printer.

Check Ink Levels & Use Genuine HP Ink

  • If using a third-party cartridge, it might not work due to HP’s firmware restrictions.
  • Try a different genuine HP 67 black ink cartridge if possible.

Run a Printer Self-Test

  • Press and hold the Resume (⚠️) button for 5 seconds.
  • If the test page prints, the issue is with the computer settings.

Uninstall & Reinstall Printer Driver

  • Go to: Control Panel > Devices and Printers
  • Right-click the printer, select Remove Device.
  • Download and install the latest driver from HP’s website.

Try these steps and let me know what happens! 😊
