HP Envy 5544
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

HP Envy  5544 black ink isn't working, gone through all 3 cleaning stages and colour sections show fine but the black is bearly visible other than a few grey lines. Black ink levels are showing as about 3/4 full still - bearly ever use the printer, then when I need to it never seems to work, pretty infuriating! Attached a scan of what the test page looks like after going through all levels of cleaning.

Welcome to HP forums, I see that your printer is not printing in black and you have done multiple troubleshooting steps.

 

If you have done all the steps mentioned in this HP document click here. I request you to check your private message, the mailbox icon at the top-right corner of this screen.

I hope this helps resolve this issue completely.

 

Cheers.
