Recently changed the black cartridge, didn't work at first, but tured it off for a few days and printer started working, but scanner won't work. Utility status shows Idle. Deledted the printer on Printer& scanner and created a new one, but still won't work.

Welcome to the HP Forums. I would be happy to help you with your HP PSC 1300 series Printer. I understand that you are unable to scan and you have already done some preliminary troubleshooting.
Don't worry though as I have a few steps to determine the issue and find a solution as well,
- If you are unable to scan from printer control panel, follow the below steps to fix the issue.
- Uninstall the printer software again.
- Install the latest print driver for Sierra.
- Restart the Mac.
- Make sure Scan to Computer is enabled.
- Run Apple Software Update.
Click here and refer the document to perform the above steps.
Let me know how it goes.
Cheers .
