Printer will only print color, no black

[TME15]

When printing, I only get color, no black print ... no recent changes, everything is up-to-date, the ink level shows the cartridge is still half full.

Thank you for your reply ... I did go through all the suggestions on the HP solution page for "Color or Black Ink Not Printing," and nothing worked ... I've also tried unplugging the printer, which also was not successful.
