All-in-one Photosmart B109n - won't print blackcopies

For some time I have used this printer since black prints only and did not replace the other ink cartridges, because they are empty. I replaced the black cartridge several times and have been perfectly happy with print jobs that I need to do.

I just replaced the black cartridge again, but I now get blank pages when I try to print jobs. Despite this the printer tells me that the cartridge is full.

The reason would be that I have have not replaced the other cartridges, or is there something else that could be causing the problem?

In other words, is it likely that I will be able to solve this problem simply by replacing the other ink cartridges?

Your advice would be welcome.

Thank you very much.

Tony.

I'm happy here, the printer working once more, sometimes the printer must sit idle to allow ink to zero on its own system. If you have a free moment and would mind not mark the post with troubleshooting as the Solution, this will allow the other members of the community to easily locate

Thank you

  • All-in-one Photosmart HP 3310: black printing in odd rows

    Hello

    I have had this printer for almost 6 years and never had a problem with it until this last week. My impression started out as below:

    As you can see, the colors are fine, but black seems to be coming out in lines. As the black cartridge was almost empty, I replaced it and received the same impression. I replaced that one (just in case the cartridge was defective) and received the same impression.

    My printer is out of warranty; I tried to clean the print heads and align the printer several times over the last week and nothing has changed. In fact, every print I do has the same meaning (even thickness, same color, same type [dotted, lined, etc.], in the exact same places every time, which is interesting.

    I tried the reset of the printer (pulling on the power cord for 15 to 30 seconds, and then reconnecting), alignment and clean the print heads in the printer menu, and then on the menu in my Mac, and I tried to get the number online (here and here), but came to nothing.

    I'm currently located in the United States, in Arizona. I understand that it is an older printer, so I may end up having to replace, but I was hoping someone might have a suggestion.

    Thank you

    Hey @TheLastDuchess,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand that you are having problems of black print quality when printing HP Photosmart 3310 all-in-one printer. I first want to thank you for all the details you provide me in your message. I see you've already replaced the black cartridge twice, cleaned and aligned the print head several times and reset the printer nothing helps. Unfortunately at this time, it sounds like you have a defective system of the print head. The printhead in the unit model is not replaceable part. It reads the cartridges and ink to go on the control document. If this part in case of failure to replace the entire unit would be necessary. According to all the steps that you have already tried, at the moment, you have exhausted the troubleshooting steps. I don't want you to run one more cleans away from your printhead system because it uses no ink in order to rinse the ink for cleaning system. The rule is generally, if cleans 2-3 make no difference, not to go forward with more clean as you will just waste ink.

    At that time, I suggest that you contact our Technical Support by phone team to explore additional options.

    For Arizona, HP Technical Support can be reached at the: 1800-474-6836

    Good luck and happy holidays!

  • HP Photosmart b109n won't print black

    I have a HP's Photosmart b109n who suddenly stopped printing black ink. All other colors are printing very well.

    I tried all of the suggestions that I can find in various forums, including cleaning & advanced cleaning, switching off & replacing ink, realign the printer etc..

    Someone at - it any other suggestions. I am currently working at home, so my printer is important to me.

    Thank you.

    Happy to say that my problem has been resolved. I repeated the same steps several times that I had already made (including an update of the HP software) and my printer has suddenly started printing black. I don't know what was the real problem!

  • C310 HP All in One: black cartridge won't print; Alignment failed

    Printer works perfectly, as usual.  Rec'd notice to update the drivers of HP software; has done, and suddenly black ink does not print at all.  Done all the troubleshooting steps: test page printed. print the Diagnostics page.  Align the print cartridges.  Cleaned print heads.  Although the cartridge has shown the more partial estimated ink level, replaced by the new HP black ink cartridge.  Still not printing black ink.

    Print uninstalled and reinstalled the software.  Tried everything above.  Has released a new cartridge and replaced with previous.  Also been clarified vents on both cartridges.  It is not that black ink is smudged on striated, it's as if there is no cartridge at all.  I also checked to make sure that the printer is not set to print grayscale.  It is located in the color and Normal.  Changed for the better, still nothing.

    HP Print and Scan Doctor initially show all correct.  The device status is now red X: Make sure cartridges and printheads are correct or your printer.  All are genuine HP cartridges.  Now I get a message on the printer alignment failed.  Is it possible that this is related to the update printer drivers?  I have never had a printer HP fail before.  Have at least six of them.  I do not use the printer a lot it should be worn.  In addition, it printed fine until what I've updated the drivers.

    Advice on what to try next? Thank you.

    Hello

    The only troubleshooting steps to run is clean print head.

    Make sure that you perform print head cleaning for at least 3 times.

    If the problem persists, then the print head must be replaced.

    You need to call HP Technical Support to get help to get the printhead replaced.

  • All-in-One Photosmart C5150 problem with printing of emails

    This problem just started.  When I print an email, there is a large gap between the message header and the message itself, so that a message of one page turns into 2 (or more) pages.  I have an iMac OS X.  When printing in other subjects - iPages documents, web pages, etc., this problem does not occur.

    scotlandgold-

    If you have Safari 5 there is a nifty little extension that you can download that takes care of your problem.  In your Safari Menu, under "On Safari" on the 2nd line is 'Safari Extensions Gallery'.  Click this button and then click on the link "productivity".  Scroll down and look for 'Print Plus' on the right side.  Click here to install the extension of your Safari.

    You will need to enter your Safari-->--> Extensions Preferences and activate the extensions on that check "Activate print more."  Once active, you will have a small icon of a printer in the top left, next to your buttons back and forth (to the left of the URL box).  When you want to print only part of a page, do not press on your normal print button.  Tap on this icon and you will then be able to select the part or parts of the pages you want to print, omitting everything else.

    Furthermore, this extension is downloadable for free, apparently on Apple.  Try this and I think you'll find that very well, he takes care of your problem.  I just installed it on my Safari!  Good luck.

    If it works for you, think about Mark this message accepted as a Solution to make it easier for others with the same question to find, thank you.

  • Photosmart 6510 e - All - In - One: Photosmart 6510 does not print black clearly

  • HP Photosmart C6280 all-in-One: Photosmart C6280 does not print after trying to clear the error library/startupitems

    I had a Library/Startupitems error since update my software HP a couple of years ago.  Trying to finally solve this problem myself, the HP site suggested to remove and reinstall the software.  There are no active link in the pages of HP support for a download.  I found a C6200 series pilot online, I have installed, but now I can't print anything but a test page, and I still have the error Library/Startupitems.  As it is, I can not even find this file to fix the error.

    Hi @Eric_V67

    I don't know exactly what causes this error, but I think it has something to do with permissions of drive Macs. Please, try the following steps and let me know the results of your efforts;

    Reset the printing system

  • Impossible to scan OCR on a model of all-in-One Photosmart B109n-z

    My solution center software downloaded from the HP site does not features to find in searchable PDF documents, .txt or .rtf as it and as stated in the manual online.  This has changed and why the non-existent OCR feature.  The solution downloaded softward Center was version 14 - I use Vista 32 bit?

    Can you advise?

    BWK

    Hello

    I like you couldn't scan to OCR.

    A search revealed the following:

    http://ascomputerz.blogspot.fr/2011/03/missing-OCR-software-on-DeskJet.html

    which led me to turn to what seems to be a site of files FTP HP = ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/printers/ocragent/

    When there is a word with the instructions doc (very easy - essentially keep the HP software and printer on) and (b) a 50 MB file that adds an IRIS OCR software to the current HP software.

    I tried - and in a few minutes, I had my first .rtf (rich TEXT file) with well digitized living characters... Either way, it was a complicated document that has worked quite well 1st time out the door.

    and voila. Good hunting :-)

  • All-in-one Photosmart C310a: problem printing photosmart all-in-one C310a black ink

    Printer all-in-one Photosmart C310 just quit printing black ink cartridge.  I followed all the suggestions on help/support pages, including cleaning the contacts on the cartridge and print head (I do not soak the print head); making sure that nothing has been blocked; Unplug the printer for the moment came and reset; put in a new ink cartridge (the printer when it stopped printing in black, was still full of 1/3 to 1/2, according to the levels shown on the printer).

    It prints than a very altered, unreadable copy.

    I had this same problem about a year ago and find a solution on this web site, but cannot find anything about it now except for cleaning the heads, reset or to install a new cartridge.

    I tried to access this particular response from my old e-mail, but it is not related to whatever it is that has tackled the problem last year.  I desperately need this printer going again, please help.

    Thanks for CAhpUSER respondent

    I didn't really picture for help, but I will do my best to clarify what I can! This document 'Print head problem' or "Print head seems to be missing or corrupt" Message appears on the computer is some visuals that will make things clear with my explanation below!

    The part you are diving into the water is the ink nozzles. When the instructions say do not touch the ink nozzles, that means with the fingers/hands. It says to make sure that you use a fluffy towel/no paper to wipe the print head, so don't put fats from your contact with her skin. The electrical contacts are the part of the print faces head that looks like the back of the printer, just in some places grouped copper.

    I hope this helps clear things upwards a bit for you

  • Photosmart all-in-one wireless B109n - problem with detection of the cartridges

    I just bought a Photosmart all-in-one wireless B109n. implementation proceeded without problems (including printing test photo).

    When I tried to use it later, he said that the cartridges were not detected.
    Strange thing is that when I take one of 4 cartridges, it says that one is missing. After you have added the last of them, he says that none of them are detected.

    Also, I need to re - enter the language and area whenever I turn it on. As if it's reset instead of make a cut...

    How this can be solved?

    Back to the store where I got it.

    They saw the same thing I had met and gave me a new without much fuzz

    The new works very well

  • HP C3100 All - In - One Photosmart: very old printer and drivers

    I know that probably the answer to this already, but here goes anyway. I have an old printer. HP all-in-One Photosmart C3100. He has just shot ten years old. I had some time after 2006, or at the least, it is the date indicated on the manual.  I just got a new computer to replace my computer that was about as old. I climbed up from XP to Windows 7.

    My printer, which works great, needs a driver and HP does not seem to do more. On their website, they say nothing more than ten years. I have no chance or is there anything else I can do?

    Thank you.

  • HP All in One Photosmart C7280 scan issue with Snow Leopard

    Hello

    I bought my wife a new cool Mac mini. So it comes with Snow Leopard. We use it for our activities with an HP printer all in one Photosmart C7280. Unfortunately the scanner does not work. I did the mistack to install HP driver from the HP website and read after documentation of the HP Web site (probably like all users). So I decided to completely re-installed the machine (as it was new) and follow the installation procedure for HP who, to say that the pilot is coming up with Snow Leopard. After the new re - install, so I installed 10.6.1 patches and last HP driver from the site Web Apple as mentioned in the forum. (version 2.2)

    The printer is correctly detected, but there is no way mak it work the scanner on HP procedures. The scanner is not recognized at all, and the printer configuration window is not appearing the scanning tab as it is supposed to. It seems that the scan part it does not work in one.

    We love HP printer and it will be great to see it fixed.

    My network configuration is very simple:

    -192.168.0.176 is the IP address of the HP printer with 255.255.255.0 netmask

    -192.168.0.106 is the MacMini (3.1) IP address mask subnet even

    All connected using a router D-Link (5 ports).

    Printer/scan function works perfectly on our other Mac systems that are under Leopard. I tried to install Leopard on the new mac mini, but the installation DVD that we have (10.5.4) does not start successfully on the machine. We are so stuck.

    Any help really appreciated

    Jean-Marie

    Hello

    Good news, it worked. But I think that the problem came from the D-Link router that I used. Upnp has been set to allow, and it seems he mistook the discovery of the device. I proceed to turn off and the live showed you me overdrawn the printer on the network. I installed it, and the scanner has been recognized.

    If I turned my back to Activate Upnp, the scan function is dead. Thus, it probably is a problem of compatibility between the leopard to snow and this Protocol. What is strange, is that our whole system of leopard work with upnp enable or disable.

    Anyway thanks a lot for your help!
