HP PSC Printer won't print in black!

[kbalona]

Hello all, recently installed FC5 and am relatively new to Linux. My problem is that I have an HP PSC 1350 printer hooked up and it prints, but it won't print in black. it prints greenish-blue. I thought maybe its the driver, because there is no PSC 1350 driver, closest one is PSC 1300 driver, which is selected. Could that be the problem? What else can I try?
Thanks a lot

Have you installed the HPLIP drivers?

As best as I know, the PSC 1300 driver covers the entire 1300 HP series. I use the HP OfficeJet 6210 All-In-One and the OfficeJet 6200 driver allows everything, scanner, printer, copier and all functions to work perfectly.

I'll look into the HPLIP driver.
Could be that 1300 series covers all, but it doesn't work for me. ANd I know the printer prints in black, because it does in Windows

I found the problem, it was just a config problem. Under "Driver Options" a single cartridge configuration was selected, and it was for a color cartridge. I changed it to color + black and now it prints fine.
