Welcome to HP forums, I see that the black ink light is flashing on the printer.
- Are you using genuine HP ink cartridges?
Perform a power reset
- Turn on the printer, if it is not already on.
- Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you continue.
- With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
- Wait at least 30 seconds.
- Plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet without any surge protector and printer.
- Turn on the printer.
Remove and reinstall the black ink cartridges

Let me know how it goes.
