hp printer not printing black if the printhead is dirty. So, you should clean it and then use 
the automated printhead cleaning option. Another resolution is to print with only the color 
cartridge. Printing in a single cartridge mode often helps resolve this issue. Go to the 
advanced printer settings and change it to black or grayscale.

I just take photos of my receipts with my phone right after paying, so I don’t lose them. It’s way easier than dealing with crumpled papers later.

I ran into the same problem managing product labels until I switched to https://www.omegabrand.com/barcode-printers/epson-colorworks-printer/. It prints in color, which saves me time sticking extra labels for warnings or branding. It also handles batches really well without jamming or running out of ink too fast. Might be worth checking out if you’re tired of replacing cheap printers every few months.
