Product: HP DeskJet 2130 All-in-One Printer

My DJ2130 suddenly stopped printing black.

None of HPdoc fixes helped.

It confirms ink level good.

I removed ink cartridge and reinstalled no help.

Prints colours fine.

Avyone have an idea what I should try next .. short of buying a new printer.

Okay FYI, I just tried this ..

Printheads can become clogged from lack of use, which causes spotty results or missing colors. We show you how to clean both types of printheads with a mixture of water and isopropyl alcohol. If you need to order more ink, visit our website at www.inktechnologies.com

Hi @Logsplitterjack 

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

That’s great to hear! 

 

If the issue happens again, running a printhead cleaning cycle through the printer settings might help too. Let me know if you ever run into other printer problems—happy to help!

 

Take care, and have an amazing day!
