I have to ask this question of you, just to make sure this is not an issue. Are you using a factory new ink cartridge?
Please consider the following:
If you are using a refilled or third party cartridge that may well be your problem. Most manufacturers build logic into their products to prevent the use of “Other Equipment Manufactured” cartridges as well as re-filled cartridges.
They do this to prevent problems from contaminated inks causing problems with print quality or damaging the physical printhead.
If you are using factory new cartridges, then please call the manufacturers Technical Support for assistance with the warranty on the cartridges

    The claim here that "most manufacturers build logic into their products...to precvent problems from contaminated inks, etc." is bogus. The manufacturers do everything in their power to make it difficult for the consumer to use refilled ink in order to force the consumer to have to buy only new, overpriced cartridges. Remember: printer manufacturers are in the ink business, not the printer business.

    Stop being moronic. Mfgs. build code (logic) into the printer's driver (for ink printers to know how much ink is still in the reservoir of the printer. This logic also tracks the print pulses fr a cartridges which sets a counter which in turn tells the driver when the cartridge is empty. That sets a bit that tells the system the cartridge is empty.

    When you refill the cartridge and don't reset that bit, all the printer knows is that the cartridges is empty.

    By the way, it is actually quality control that drives supporting a companies own cartridges. Profit is taken to recoup some of the R

HP 5150 Deskjet -- black printing abruptly stopped. Prints appear with color but no black. Switching black cartridges doesn't help. Clean print heads operation doesn't help. Switching computers...

There are very few things you can do, other than what you have aleady done.
I would recommend a decision on how much the unit cost and how long you have used the
printer vrs. what HP or a local authorized service center would charge to repair it.
If you have refilled ink cartridges, this is problem that can arise due to ink drying on the
print head as the black cartridge is use the most.

Print keeps fading, even though using new ink

check your printer settings, make sure color only is not checked off, or if you mainly print black and white documents, you should have that option checked, you may have to go into advance printer options to do this.
