I barely use my HP Envy 4512 printer and when I do, I recall as to why I keep on not using it. It’s because it’s always has some print quality issue. I figure before I throw it out, maybe there is something I’m missing to do. 
I sent a shipping label to print and nothing prints out. I’ve already did the internal ‘maintenance’ quality prints and cleans but nothing. 

id like to see if anyone has any tricks in the hat to fix this before I consider I dump this  HP product out the window...... permanently.

Inkjets need to be used every 5 to 7 days.

You can try printing with the color cartridge by removing the black cartridge.

You need to replace the back cartridge.
