I replaced my Ink cartridge yesterday and since then the printer will not print- I have been online with HP virtual assistant to no avail. I have restarted the printer, computer, run the scan doctor which shows no fixes needed. When I run the test page afterwards the test page shows up as a completely black page- no text, lines or colors. I have uninstalled and reinstalled using HP download. It will not print anything and when I select print it does not show up in the print queue. I have restarted the print spooler. Nothing has worked. I would greatly appreciate any assistance to resolve this issue.

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
If you insert your old ink, are you able to print anything?
It could also be a defective new set of ink.
Let us know 🙂
