If under a year, let HP get it fixed for you. This under 100 buck printer can not be repaired for less than a new printer.

Help! Our HP Photosmart C4480 has stopped printing black. At first it would simply sputter black, and now when you print anything text related you get a blank sheet of paper.
I've replaced the black ink cartridge three times and I continue to get the "low ink" warning. I've tried cleaning the print heads. Nothing seems to work. The color printing works fine.
It's hooked up to a Mac, but it won't print black from a PC either.
We've only had this printer a year or so and we use it sporadically, but when we need it, we need it. I hate the thought of buying another AIO, but I cannot seem to solve this problem.
