Hello tink_er,
I understand you are not able to print in black ink.
I would suggest trying this troubleshooting guide: Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages
If you have printed a test page from the printer alone, and the black is not printing, then the issue is not a setting issue on your computer, it is most likely a cartridge or printhead issue.
I hope the troubleshooting works for you. Good luck! :)
