7520 HP photosmart e-All-in-one: printer Photo ink for all print jobs

Why my printer uses ink cartridge photo instead of the regular cartridge for all print jobs? I need to change a setting? He uses ink photo when I print documents or photos on the internet and it's always the first cartridge to change. How can I get it to stop and use the regular ink cartridge?

Hi @ohchango,

Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

I'd be happy to see this with you and don't forget to come back to this thread and check "Accept as Solution", if I have successfully helped solve you the problem.

Photo black cartridges are designed to be used, it cannot be bypassed or ignored. When printing from your computer, you can set it to print in grayscale (black ink only), meaning that it will use less of the photo in the black, but they will still get used for maintenance. For more information, see use of inkjet printers ink.

NOTE: It will use the black photo cartridge for printing black if photographic Support is selected for the type of paper or printing is set to auto or to a picture frame.

In order to help you, I'll need more information.

  • 7520 HP pHotosmart e-All-In-one: printer HP B209 failed, bought 7520 e - All - In - One... not as many preferences

    Recently, my B209a Photosmart is not printing black ink, so I bought a Photosmart 7502 refurbished e-all-in-one printer.

    1st problem: printing photos the size I want...

    When you type "Print-p", the menu that appears asking me to specify a layout (for example, custom, Best Fit, scale, etc.). When I choose "Custom" and specify the width and height I want, I can go in "Printer", then "Configuration", even if I match the width and height under paper and the Source size, it errors out and does not print because sizes do not match.

    2nd problem: when you print 'NOTHING' (letter or photo), there is not nearly enough printing preferences that I have with my B209a. With the B209a printer, I was able to customize almost every preference printing I wanted, including setting up my own (which was "printing black-fast"). I get none of these choices with this printer. Just about the only choices I get a 'paper source', 'paper size' and 'direction '. I don't even have the choice "quick print", which was supposed to use less ink.

    I am 'really' disappointed by this 7502e.

    All of my fault. For some reason, I took the photo paper I had in the machine has been of 3.5 x 5.

    It has been 4 x 6.

    I wa contacted by a representative from HP who told me I called a support agent.

    Once Mario's HP took over my machine and these changes, the pictures are exactly the way they were supposed to.

    Initially, I was not only very surprised to get a solution to the problems that I had, but to be sent by electronic mail and then called by a support agent to fix, just a few days. And to be informed that if the problems were not fixed, I replaced printer.

    This was among the best support I have ever received from 'none' company.

    Thanks to Jamieson, Alan and Mario!

    I tried to cancel a print job, while it was printing.  Usually it stops pretty quickly, but this time, he just kept printing.  I hit 'Cancel' several times in front of her to permanently halted.  Now, when I put them to the top of the print queue, it says 'remove' next to the job, but nothing happens.  I had other work also in the tail, but those that have been deleted.  Now, the printer does nothing.  How to get this deleted job so that I can reuse my printer?  Thank you for your help.

    Hello Dgidjaf,

    It's something you can try. The steps involve kind of reset the or who controls the printerqueu.

    1. click on start, go to control panel and then go to the printers.
    2. double-click on the icon of your printer.
    3. in the new screen click on the printer from Word in the upper left corner in game a check mark with 'use printer offline '.
    4. disconnect the device from the computer.
    5. click on the printer of new word in the upper left corner and choose "cancel all the print. Expect that to happen.
    6. If it does not, restart your computer and check if the printjob is finished now. If it happens to skip step 6.
    7. If the printjob disappeared reconnect your printer and click printer again in the upper left corner and remove the check mark with 'use printer offline '.
    8. try to print.

  • HP Photosmart Premium Fax in one-printing problem 2

    Came across the 'solution' to this problem while browsing the Forum.  Unfortunately, it does not work! Not with the C309a!

    Started with a q-tip soaked in alcohol, then scrub with a J cloth soaked in the stuff, still not printing black.

    Hi Joolio,

    I understand that you already have some troubleshooting but have not managed to solve this problem. Because I'm not sure of exactly what you have tried so far, I would suggest you follow all the steps Bob_Headrick suggested in this thread "black ink does not '.

    If this does not resolve the problem, you could buy a new print head, or contact HP to 1-800-4746836 to the Canada and the United States, or contact HP worldwide, they may be able to offer a discount on a newer printer.

    Hope it will be useful.

  • print jobs in the queue from the computer to the top, but do not print

    1400 series all-in-one print jobs in the queue from the computer to the top, but do not print. Scan and copy functions are fine. What is the problem?

    I've upgraded to a new computer with windows 7 a month ago. The printer worked fine until last week. I tried the remedy proposed to other Hp users, but the computer will not accept the software provided with the printer, so the printer is always offline. Any other suggestions?

    I suggest the following: disconnect the cable USB, then download the full driver recommended from HP here.  Once the download is complete, run the Setup program.  Do not connect the USB cable until the installation program invites you to do.

  • HP Photosmart 7520 malfunctions of e-all-in-one printer on the clock

    This e-all-in-one printer from HP Photosmart 7520 bought last week and cannot issue to reslove the awakening. Printer goes to sleep as the value, and to wake up, BUT with an error message on the display. I tried AUTO ON / OFF and different sleep wait times but nothing helped.  I can't believe the USB cable or the PC/software is to blame because the wake-up printer, but in a State of dysfunction and should now be in the off position, then press. The answers to this problem.

    JMcKenzie2006,

    Welcome to the HP Forum.

    The following workaround solution should correct the problem - basically how to turn off the sleep function.  It works when all other options have failed to solve the problem: assigning static IP, small insect sacrifice, swearing, all sorts of settings...

    Be aware: I do not know the consequences - if any - turning off the sleep function.

  • 7520 photosmart e-all-in-one: suite reinstall printer a few APPS are missing from the display

    Had to reinstall the printer after a total recovery of the PC. Now the screen of the printer of the APPs is different and now includes new but it I MISS what I used to use that (as I recall) is an application that opens a screen to set up a print job:

    NEW:

    "Scan to E-mail".

    "Get more" with an arrow pointing down, which does NOT respond to touch

    'Manage '.

    When I want to PRINT just something selections are ONLY BASIC paper without advanced formats.

    I tried the "reset default" for the display/apps/printer but nothng has changed.

    Well, I did that several times... total uninstall... total disconnect the router... AC... printer.  I'm rather informed with all this stuff, but the display remained the same when the reinstalled.

    HOWEVER... If I go in WORD I CAN run away with all the advanced options and that's all I'm really worried at the moment. So the books will print and time!

    Thanks a LOT for trying to help me through the glitch, and is for me a problem more as long as I can function in WORD where it counts the most.

  • 7520 HP all-in-one printer prints photos not good with my Windows machines

    I have several computers.  Everything works fine with the printer in the Windows environment.  I have an iPad and a MACbook PRO with Maverick 10.9.4.   The pictures are terrible when I print with one of these devices.   It looks almost like a negative image.   I checked for the drivers updated, etc. for the Mac.   The ink is HP and levels are good.  It works fine with my PC computers, but not my Apple devices.   I checked the preverences of the APPLE system.   It does seem that the photographs.  Text prints very well.  Any suggestions?

    Hello cpsimonand welcome to the Forums of HP, I hope you enjoy your experience!

    I see that you run in photo printing questions. I would like to help!

    I suggest to remove the printer from your printing system, using this document: uninstalling the software of the printer.

    Once you have deleted, I suggest to check and repair disk permissions: function to fix the permissions of all utility disk drive.

    I also run your Apple updates: OS x: Mac App Store apps and OS X update.

    After the updates, I recommend reinstalling the Photosmart HP 7520 e-all-in-one printer drivers.

    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting operations. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

    Hello! Welcome to the forums @67huey

    I understand your new Photosmart 7520 does not recognize the cyan cartridge, and I want to clarify my suggestions for you!

    I recommend you first try troubleshooting steps to see if you can get the printer to see the cartridge.
