My epson stylus sx515w has stop printing black

Inkjet printers need to be used frequently to prevent inkdrying out in the print head nozzles.
If the print head cleaning maintenance routine does not clear the blockages, thenprint head needs replacing, but it may be expensive.
It may be more cost effective to buy a later model and better printer thanreplace the print head.

Sounds like there's a problem with the print head. I'd recommend doing a nozzle check, if any colours are missing from the print out then try some head cleans. You can find the nozzle check and head clean options in the maintenance/utility tab of your printer driver.

reinsert cartridge then do print head clean

Try cleaning the print heads.

Have you removed the tape from the top of cartridge?

have you gone into the print setup >printer>properties>paper/quality and selected colour printing there ?? hope this helps regards JIm

In view of the original poster's lack of interest, I think we can call this one "Solved by Poster".

Are you using gen. epson cart? If not then try that first.

Sounds like you have a block black print head there are many posts on that subject.
