You'll need to clean the encoder strip, encoder wheel, paper feed rollers and the carriage rod (where the cartridges ride -plus lube this) and cartridge service station. If you can't figure out how to do this, you'll need a tech that knows how. It will get pretty involved and I would recommend getting a new machine because they have come down in price and you could replace this for very little.

HP 722C has quit printing black in color draft

WORKAROUND: Select EconoFast or Draft as the print quality setting in the printer properties. This will prevent the color cartridge from being used. - Or - Try another color cartridge. The color cartridge is used to print grayscale images in Normal or Best print modes, so if one color has run out, the printout will have the wrong tint. With a full color cartridge, the colors can be properly combined to create a composite black. CAUSE: When printing with Normal or Best as the print quality setting, the HP Deskjet 710C or 720C or 722C series printer will use the color ink to improve print quality output, even when printing a grayscale image.

I have just replaced the color ink cartdrige in my HP Deskjet 722c printer and I tried to print a color picture in bond paper and it was a total mess

A new ink needs a little cleaning before using. Just dab lightly on a damp paper towel and look for a inch log stripe of each color on the towel. If all colors are not there it won't print very well and you should return the cartridge. Some have reported no yellow in their new cartridges.

My printer is HP Officejet J4500 / J4660 / J4680. Color prints are clean and true. B&W prints are all smudged and skip about every 5th line. Both color and B&W cartridges are in correct position

Bad black cartridge.
When making photos this printer mixes all 3 colors to make a black.
Is this what you are referring to ?

Changed black ink cartridge to LD brand. Now printer only prints every few lines. Skips lines of black text. Will print other colors of text but the colors are very light--not as dark as they should be,...

Canon printers do not like non Canon inks. Maybe other printers have similar issues but it seems that Canon is particularly finnicky.

If a document displays in color on the screen but prints in black and white, try the following solutions. Print a test page to determine if the color cartridge is working

1. Turn the printer on.
2. Press and hold down the Power button while pressing the Resume button four times.
3. Release the Power button.
If you have any other HP Deskjet printers, click here for instructions on how to print an internal test .
If the printout is black and white, with no color, follow the instructions below:
1. Open the top cover of the printer and remove the cartridges.
2. Verify that the correct cartridges are installed in the printer. Click here to see if you have the correct cartridges . If the correct cartridges are installed, make sure that the tape has been removed from the cartridge nozzles.
3. Insert the cartridges firmly back in their cradles and close the latches.
4. Close the printer door.

Verify the correct printer is selected as the default printer

In the software application that you are using to print, click File .
Click Print .
In the Print dialog box, verify that the name of the HP printer you are using is listed in the Name box.

Check that the driver listed under Print using the following driver or Printer matches the HP printer you are using. The following setting may be in one of several places, depending on your printer driver and operating system.
In the Details tab, click Setup . Under Printout, select one of the color options. (If other options have check marks, click in the check boxes to remove the check marks.) If there is no Setup button, click the Graphics tab, and then click Color . Under Color Control, choose a color option, and click OK .
