Hello VME,

I understand your Photosmart c5180 is not printing black ink. After some research, my recommendation is to go ahead and start troubleshooting Missing lines and ink.  I see that many found Step 4 to be helpful and resolved the issue.

I hope you find this helpful, please let me know if you require more assistance.

Thanks,
