Printing problems.

[Julio07]

A couple days ago the  printer stopped working. I thought that it was because I haven't cleaned it, so I cleaned it. Now the colored inks are working but the black ink still no working. Please help me.

@Julio07 Welcome to HP Community!

I understand that the black ink is not working.

Please let us know if you are using HP genuine ink cartridges.

Have you tried to replace the black ink cartridge and checked?

Perform the hard reset and check.

Turn the printer on, if it is not already on. 

Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you continue. 

With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer. 

Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. 

Wait at least 60 seconds. 

Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet. 

Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer. 

Turn on the printer, if it does not automatically turn on. 

Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you proceed 

Please refre to the below link to troubleshoot the issue.

I am ripping my hair out here, I have done everything you have suggested on this tread and other threads, nothing is fixing this issue, please can someone help?

@Biker24

I understand your concerns.

I would suggest you try the Windows built-in drivers. Follow the steps below: 

  

•    Go to Control Panel - Devices and printers - Click on "Add printer" and follow the on-screen instructions. 

•    When the page prompts for the drivers, select "Windows update". The driver list will be updated. 

•    Click HP, Hewlett Packard, or Hewlett-Packard in the Manufacturer pane, and then click the name of your printer in the Printers pane. 

  

Refer to this document HP Printers - Installing and Using the Windows Built-in Print Driver for help 

Have a nice day!!
