I have put in new 564XL cartridge when old one ran out of ink. It shows onthe photosmart line that the ink is therre- but it only prints in grey and on HP Print and Scan Doctor, the print page shows no ink in that cartridge even though there is a valid cartridge in place. Internet connection is wireless
I have tried everything on the Doctor suggests several times but cannot get it to print black.

Hello, @4getit-8thepie – Hope you are well 🙂
Thank you for becoming an HP Forum member. It is a great location to get help from the community, get suggestions and find what has worked for others!
I understand that your printer is not printing in black after replacing the cartridge. I would recommend you follow the steps mentioned below to try and fix the issue:
-
Load plain white U.S. letter or A4 size paper in the input tray, if it is not already loaded.
-
On the printer control panel, touch the Settings icon
.
-
Touch Tools, and then touch Clean Cartridges.
The printer cleans the printhead and then prints a test page.
-
Repeat the exercise 2-3 times to get the black printing again.
If the issue persists, go to http://hp.care/2kOZxDB and follow the steps mentioned from step 7 and 8.
Those steps should do the trick, let me know the outcome!
Good luck 🙂
