My hp psc1210 will not print black no matter what I try to do with it. It will however print 80% gray if I change the text to this instead.
Any suggestions please?

I have the same problem. The cartridge in in the holder correctly and I even tried unplugging the printer, waiting an hour, then replugging the power cord back in to reset the printer. Still not printing black ink. Ink levels look ok also.

Gray print does not use black ink. It only uses the color cartridge. I assume you already changed the black cartridge. Make sure it is the right one for your printer and it is not a generic refill. The generic might be OK but I wouldn"t trust it complety. Make sure your cartridge is properly seated in the holder.
