HP Smart Tank Wireless 455
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello, 

My HP Smart Tank Wireless 455 Printer is not printing black.

I have tried copying a page, and that does not print black

I have reset the printer, but that did not help.

I have cleaned the print heads, but that made no difference.

I have tried to align the heads, but not possible without black printed.

This machine has never really worked since new.

I have gone through your lists of suggestions, but have not gotten any improvements.
