HP Photosmart D7260 Printer
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have a HP Photosmart D7260 Printer that barely prints any of the black ink, other colors print fine. Test pages have white streaks and black is very faded to where you can't read. I have changed settings multiple times and it will print green or another color instead of black for high quality settings. I changed the ink from a full cartridge, cleaned heads several times, aligned, but no luck. Any ideas? Old posts have broken links so I can't use to trouble shoot.
