My printer (Office JetPro 6968 All-in-One) does not print in BLACK even when ink cartridge s full.  I replaced all ink cartridges including the colored ones after their ink level was low.  HP Instant Ink provided the replacement ink.  The colors work but I can not get  the black letters of the document to print.  I ran a trouble shoot to clean the printer heads.  Also ran troubleshoot to align printer heads.  But the test prints still don't show the black printing.  Only get colors,  no Black print.    I suspect a defective printer head.

@BQuint, Welcome to HP Support Community!

 

If you have already performed the steps from the document Black or Color Ink Not Printing, Other Print Quality Issues and the issue persists, it could be a hardware failure.

 

Please reach out to the HP Support in your region regarding the service options for your printer.

 

Hope this helps!
