Black Ink Not Printing (Hp Deskjet Ink Advantage 5525)

[Shepy]

Black ink not showing when color printing or when printing black and white. Did replace the black catridge with a new one but the problem is still there. Did Print Quality Diagnostic and only black is the one with empty block.

What could be the problem?

Model No: SNPRH-1103.
