• 5530: 5530 envy envy not printing black text

  Buy 6 months ago just started to use it, on the original cartridge black, unable to print black text or lines. diags HP and they run so nothing wrong. Test print shows no black ink cartridge, but display States black cartridge is 60%.
  Through HP troubleshooting page - completely unnecessary support.
  Reloaded with the latest drivers, firmware, etc., made no difference.

  A lot on the web about this issue, but not many solutions from HP

  Feeling I may just throw the device and buy another manufacturer.
  If HP can solve this?

  I gave up trying to get the HP online form to work, would not accept the code for the printer.

  so I bought new cartridges despite the originals still indicating they were half full.

  in the future, I'll switch to another brand of printer, hopefully with better support for manufacturing.

• I have a HP Officejet used that only prints black

  Hello! I recently bought a HP Officejet 4500 used. I use it as a printer with my MacBook Pro version 10.9.3 and it will only print black. I have combed all through information from print and can't find where to change the settings to print in color or black. Also, how can I connect it via Ethernet? Thank you!

  The Officejet being able to print colors without problems when compared with the computer, we have a path take it now. Try to reset the system of printing on Mac, this will delete the printer drivers, when return adding that it will be the default settings. Mac OS x: how to reset the printing system will guide you if you have not done this before.

  Now that the printer drivers are deleted, repair disk permissions on the computer. Download and install this: v.2.16.1 for OS X HP printer drivers and add your printer. There should be no reason why the printer would not print color of the computer.

• Why my PhotoSmart 7520 uses color to print black text?

  I noticed when I print the page "Print diagnostic quality", the printer uses the color cartridges to print text in black instead of the black cartridge "pure".  It is a loss of the color of the inks.  How can I get the printer (7520) to use the black cartridge for all black text?

  Thank you

  JayTee007

  The diagnosis page uses a mixture of color and black inks to print the text on the page.  This is so that the diagnostic information can be read, even if the black part does not work.  The behavior on the page of diagnosis does not reflect how normal text is printed.

  Note that if the photo paper is selected in the selection of media the printer will use only the color inks and photo to print black same text as black pigmented ink is not compatible with photo paper.

• 3050 a J611g: 3050 has J611g only prints green text

  Will only print in green text.  Will not print black.  How to start printing new BLACK as a default setting?

  Tarus51,

  It's what I'm here for. Ok, so now we know that it is not the software causing the green text because when you perform a stand-alone copy it comes out as green.

  I would like to concentrate on cleaning, please continue troubleshooting here: fixing printing quality problems for the HP Deskjet 3050 a (J611) all-in-One Printer Series

  If after all the troubleshooting steps have been fulfilled, the output is always green, please contact our technical support at the 800-474-6836. If you do not live in the United States / Canada region, please click the link below to get help from your region number.

• stop of using photo black ink to print black text and where is past the color ink?

  My HP Photosmart Prem C310 series all-in-one is using the Photo black ink cartridge for printing of text instead of the Black XL that I put in for the printing of the text. How can I use the right to print cartridge? In addition, even if I haven't printed ANY photo and a few pages of text from the new series of color cartridges that I put in, a few months ago are almost empty. Why? How could they be almost empty when I haven't printed anything in color? This is getting ridiculous replacement cartridges every few months WHEN I WAS NOT PRINT anything!

  The ink cartridges game accompanying lasted several months. Since then, I've been through two sets in less than a year. It is 3 sets of ink cartridges when I printed only 3 photo when I first put in place. And have only used the than a 1/4 of a pack of paper to print. I put only two times more paper in it. Whenever it was an inch to 1/4 or 3/8 of a stack of thick inch of paper in the tray. I even tried to close the low printer so its not used for a long period of time, but the ink is still disappear. Where's he going? Why is it okay? How can I stop it? This is ridiculous. I may as well junk the thing even if it still works, because I can not aford to keep feeding ink when its just sitting there doing nothing most of the time.

  Thank you

  The c310a will use the photo black for printing in black if photographic Support is selected in the paper type, or if the setting is automatic and media are detected as photographic support.

  This printer has to separate supplies for printing and ink heads and little ink is required in all the colors to avoid the print head clogged.  The page here discusses how ink is used.

• HP 6520: HP 6520 will not print black TEXT - will be pictures fine print

  I don't know what is happening with my HP 6520. I posted some time ago, thinking that it was just black as ink cartridge when I try to print a Word document, Internet Pages (any browser or operating system (I also have a Dell laptop, in addition to an iPad).) I tried to clean the printheads several times and when I print the confirmation page, the part of the black box does NOT print. However, I printed the photos in color on this perfect look me. I even printed a photo of my black dog, my gray koi, a black and white koi, green plants, and all this look perfect. Just the printer will not print any BLACK TEXT. Yes, it will display the text in blue (which does not work if I am trying to print a form on the Internet). I typed in black text in a document, printed out, and it is empty. I then change the color to blue, and it seems. Yes, tried on two computers and different programs/systems operation/browsers (IE, Firefox, Safari)

  Any ideas?

  Thank you!

• LJ200 will only print black

  Hello

  I have a printer installed LJ200 and there a lot of toner all.

  It does not print color.  I did all the driver options are set to print color and not gray or black only.

  Whether on a network, I installed the printer on another machine and driver who said that it will be printed in color, it prints only in black and white.

  I checked on the printer, but can not find anywhere where it says to not print color.

  Hi michellecoombs,

  OK, what happens when you try to make a color copy from the printer?

  Updated the firmware on this printer and let me know if you are still having the same issues?

• LaserJet 4650n: 4650n does not print black text

  I will delete my previous post and make a more concise here!

  OK, I solved my problem. It was a questionable black cartridge!

  I guess when you print an entire page in black, it uses the black toner, but when we print a page with colors on this subject, he treats just like color and made the black of the other 3 colors. So why it would print black properly when 1 letter color has been changed!

  This isn't an expert opinion, just my guessing!
