7525 photosmart all-in-One: black ink Photo being used, but no photo printing

Photo black cartridges use continuously ink, requiring replacement, and yet I rarely printed photos.  Why?

Hello

In fact the printer using other color inks and blend them together to print B & W too. All you need to do is tell the printer to use black ink only.

Click on the dektop printer > click Preferences > settings click on advanced

Under grayscale options, select black ink only.

Click OK/apply

Kind regards.

  • PSC 1210 all-in-one: hp psc 1210 order copy but scan and print

    Until recently the copied PSC 1210, scanned and printed.  It copies is no longer in black & white, or rather when I press the copy button, the scanning starts and the printer prints a blank page.  Without moving anything, I can scan the document (Windows Fax and Scan) and print it using the same PSC 1210 and it prints perfectly.  A color copy prints a few characters in blue/green.  No recent change in hardware or software (other than the Microsoft updates).

    Hi @will-not-copy,.

    Maybe the problem is related to the ink, especially the black ink. If I understand your description that you can scan and print again, but you are unable to copy. Copying and scanning use the same hardware components so ideally if we work so should the other. Copy and print using the same ink system so if you can print, you should be able to copy; However, the impression of the computer may produce a composite black, which means that the colors combine to make black, when copying the printer can pull out the black cartridge to produce black. That's what I mean when I say that the problem might have something to do with the he black cartridge.

    I would like to print a self-test report to see if the printer hardware can produce black ink in stand-alone mode. To print a report, use the following steps:

    1. Load the plain, white paper into the paper tray.

    HP Photosmart Premioum all-in-one C309A works very well - is wired to the Mac with USB, works PC wirelessl.  Tried to print from Mac CDs and had no drop down menu for the CD option.  Fingered and finally did print from the PC.  Everything, including the 26 April 2012 updates HP for Mac users have reinstalled and could go down drop with CD option - looking, but then print a live project and no longer displayed option.  In fact, he goes out to tell me that the CD print option is not available from the printer, but it works of course easily to PC wireless connection.  I'll keep fiddling with, but someone has experienced this problem and found what is the solution?

  • 7520 of HP PHOTOSMART all-in-one: black cartridge for printer all-in-one PHOTOSMART HP720

    I ordered ink cartridges Combo Pack for the 7520 HP which includes a XL Black and color cartridges. However, I need the black size cartridge regular.  After having removed the black cartridge regular size and noting its product number (CR283W), I went to the HP site.  The Web site search indicates that the product number is invalid.  Then I called the HP support line. They have confirmed that it is not valid and sought-after product number to another number. After 15 minutes, I was directed to the shipping department. The shipping department was very helpful, but could not give me the information I need.  Please, please, please, can someone give me a product for a black size cartridge number regular to adapt to the HP7520?  I have the XL size black cartridge, I need the ordinary black.  Thank you.

  • 7525 photosmart all-in-one: printer says wireless, but do not print

    We moved our headquarters to a new location in the House. After you reconnect all devices, the printer seems to work (in his view).  Network test results "spent." When I opened a doc and tried to print, it would not, telling me printer was not in the network. Enter new password for ISP provider crossed wireless configuration. Still not printing.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled the printer. Still will not print. I disabled Norton Internet Security where he was blocking the process. I downloaded Team Viewer so that my son could see if he could help me, but couldn't connect to it to use it. I tried to download HPPrint and doctor to Scan, but it will not download. Any ideas?

    Hi there @MI_OHlady.

    Welcome to the forums

    I understand that you have moved your location of printers and it is not printing via wireless network.

    You mentioned that the print and Scan Doctor will not download, and this could be a problem on the computer or with the internet connection. Could try to use another web browser and try to download and run the printing and scanning Dr. again? I would like to know what are the results of the tool.

    Also, try to make copies of the front of the printer and let me know if they work, or if you see errors.

    I hope to hear from you

  • Photosmart all-in-One b210a: Black is not printing

    Hello world
    I have a problem with my printer, a Photosmart all-in-One b210a, connected wireless to my network. The problem occurs when printing: it seems that the printer doesn't print anything that uses the color black or black color itself.
    I tried to clean the print head and it only prints the other colors (one line). I tried also to change the ink cartridge, but nothing to do; I tried to align the cartridges aaaand it is said that the alignment is not (it only printed the blue lines) and everything in the Tools menu, but not reset the configuration.

    I also tried to print 10 Windows and OS X (a color and a black and white document). The same result at a time when black and white document printing: not black.

    Any ideas? Thank you.

    Alexander.

    Hi @AlexandrCerutti,

    Looks like you did most of the resolution of the problems already. The print head is probably clogged or will need to be replaced.

    NOTE: I would be cleaning several times to try to resolve the problem with the print head.

    Please confirm that you have tried the steps in this guide: HP Photosmart Plus B210 printer - color or black ink printing not.

    If the problem persists, the print head should be cleaned.

    Check the status of print head warranty:
    If you have a faulty cartridge or print head, it might be under warranty. To check the warranty on your ink supplies, go to tohp.com/go/learnaboutsupplies, select your country/region, and then review the information of limited warranty for your supplies.

    Printhead replacement games are available from HP customer or authorized service providers assistance.
    ATTENTION: Wait until you have a new available print head Assembly before you remove the ink cartridges. Do not leave the ink cartridges out of the printer longer than 30 minutes. Can result in damage to the printer and ink cartridges.

    If the printer is out of warranty, you can try the procedure in the video below. Please use at your own discretion.

  • Photosmart HP 7510: Change what black ink cartridge is used.

    Our 7510 HP ink slots for small and XL cartridges, however it will not use the small cartridge ink. How to change the parameters to pass to the thin cartridge XL, small is running out of ink and I can't find the black ink cartridge (Photo) in stores now. I bought two 'small', one was a XL, not labelled as such and we ordered cartridges from HP on the web and they were too big too. I need to be able to use the XL Black ink cartridge that is installed.

    Thank you..

    Hello

    First, XL ink cartridges are physically the same size with normal cartridges (same number). The difference is more inks XL cartridges.

    Your printer has 2 black ink cartridges, one narrower called Photo ink cartridge and one large/more bigger called black ink cartridge. When printing in grayscale, the printer will mix all the colors to give B & W. If you want to print black ink only, you must indicate to your printer. Please try

    (a) double-click the desktop printer icon.
    (b) click on set preferences.
    (c) click on advanced.
    d select "Black ink" only for printing in grayscale
    (e) click Ok/apply.

    Note: printer must still all color inks and it will consume a very small amount of ink over the warmng of trial.

    Kind regards.

  • HP PSC 2410 Photosmart all-in-one printer SLOW printing

    All of a sudden my HP PSC 2410 Photosmart all-in-one printer has started printing very, very, very slowly. If at all. It took almost 30 minutes (1/2 hour) to print only 1 page word document. I am on Windows 7 OS.

    Dialogue problems says everything is fine. An attempt to print a test page was even worse. He printed only the top 1/4 of the race and that it was illegible.

    I ran CrapCleaner, Norton full scan and I was able to print for about a day before the problem returns.

    Help!

    Hey Rainbow7000,

    I also had problems with copy. I noticed that the missing parts were color text or photos. There was no indication that the Tricolor cartridge was low or empty, but I replaced it in any case and VOILA... print is returned to normal and fine everyting.

    I would have thought there would be some am indicator when the cartridge is low, but it was not.

    Thanks anyway.

  • HP Photosmart all-in-one C309a: need help Urgent! -HP Photosmart all-in-one problem C309a Incompatible cartridge - 564 and 862

    Hello everyone.

    I am a happy user of HP Photosmart all-in-one printer and for many years never had a problem.  I always bought new 862 cartridges and it worked fine.  Recently, a friend brought me to Singapore two new series of cartridges, but the owner of the store said this is the new higher capacity cartridges.  I said why not?  Even better, in fact since the printer is a guzzler of ink!

    This is, because I tried to install these new cartridges, I always get the message "Incompatible cartridge" after what, I can't not access the printer.

    Can someone help me solve this problem?  The cartridges are exactly the same, so I suspect its something to do with the chip?  I tried all possible methods such as the re-installation of the cartridges, remove the carriage and re-setup, cleaning the cartridge chip, etc.

    Since I'm brought this printer back from China to Europe, I really need to solve this problem otherwise I'm stuck without a printer.  These cartridges are not available locally.

    I would be grateful any advice!  Thank you.

    Your printer can use cartridges of 864. Unless you call HP and have them reset the printer to your new country, you live. Only then these cartridges can be used if you can find them on the spot. Call HP.
