HP Deskjet 3055A
Microsoft Windows 8 (32-bit)

So I replaced my ink cartridges after they were empty recently and now my printer will not print black at all. All the other colors work just fine except black. I've done every cleaning program on the printer, alignment pages, calibration pages, have all the required drivers etc and I can't get a drop of black ink out of my printer. The cartridges are new and according to the digital readout on my printer all my cartridges are full. I've done the typical unplug from power, replug etc and nothing is helping. Any ideas?
