I installed the patched version of 3.10.9, removed all printer queues and reinstalled the printer using hp-setup. This seemed to work just fine.

When checking for which driver the printer uses, it listed the hpcups driver 3.10.9 as the one being used. This driver seemingly still does not use the black cartridge when printing, so unfortunately my problem persists.

I then decided to check for the hpijs driver, but this driver was only available as an old 3.10.2 version which I installed several weeks ago just prior to submitting this bug report. Is it correct that the 3.10.9 hplip package does not install a hpijs driver with a corresponding version number?

I have no idea where to go from here. I don't quite understand the difference between the hpcups driver and the hpijs driver. Are they both part of the hplip package? And is one of them getting obsolete?

Thanks for your help.
