    Just a note:

    My color ink cartridges are very low.

    I just use black ink.

    Just installed a new print 60xl cartridge to replace the one that was being ink. Now the black ink basically does not print. I cleaned the cartridges 4 times and run all Diagnostics pages. The black prints just a small piece of the upper part of the letters on the pages of diagnostics and in grayscale on the test pages.

  • Color ink does not work. Black is working I have a hp C310a.

  • black ink does not not on HP6510

    I just changed the four ink cartridges on my HP 6510.  Black does not work despite the ink is full.  I ran the printhead cleaner twice but it still fails to respond.  All ideas, the printer to date has served me very well and was without problem.

    Hi Ciara,

    Thanks for your reply.  The printer is not under warranty, but the problem is solved. I took a piece of kitchen roll, it soaked in warm water and squeezed out. The fabric is hot and humid, now, I have this dabbed with care on the print head, it has removed the dry on the ink that was on the print head. I then gave the printer another clean and the problem was solved.

    Thank you, Alan

  • HP Photosmart 6510 alignment Page failure, black ink cartridge not working not

    I'm on Mac OSX using the Photosmart 6510 AIO printer 10.7.4. I had problems before printing (black ink would not introduce yourself, sensor said that there was still a lot) so I ordered new cartridges. I printed a report of quality and the color came out great but black came out uneven. Then I used the align parameter and it printed once more uneven black ink and the screen on the printer read "the alignment page failed. It's frustrating, because the printer was used only at the end of last semester and he has not worked since I set up for this semester. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

    Ryan

    The steps in this troubleshooting page can help solve the problem.  If it is printing black but spotted I expecially make sure I check the vents and run a cleaning cycle.  If the above does not resolve the issue, see the post here.

  • HP Officejet 6500 ink cartridge 920, Vista - alignment failed, black ink does not print

    I went through the diagnostic process because my printer gives me a view of alignment failed and my black ink will not print.   It is established that I need to replace the print head.  Is it complicated?  What should I do when I need the printer/fax every day?  I have no time for that computer to be down for a day, and even less for as long as it takes to get the part here and replace it myself.  Or worse, if I send to HP to have the work done.

    Replacement of the print head is not complicated, it can be done in 5 minutes.  Before doing this, you could be sure that the ventilation openings are not connected and you might try to soak the printhead as shown here.

  • Black ink cartridge not working not

    I have a HP Photosmart 5520 printer all-in-one. It will not print black ink. It has news 564 hp cartridges that I changed once a couple trying to make it work. I ran the test print and work, all colors except black, I've also cleaned. I also tried to unplug and disconnect the wireless and it still does not work. I don't get any errors, it is just like it is printing very well, then comes out blank. If you look closely there is a small amoount of gray that looks like it is trying to print but just don't stand. Help?

  • Photosmart HP 6520 - printing black ink does not after having been replaced

    I replaced all 4 cartridges in my printer and tried to print a form, but the black ink is not printing. Thinking perhaps that I bought a defective cartridge, I bought another but I'll always have the same problem. It's the first time that I had to replace my cartridges (remained originals in French - printer was purchased in December). I've never had problems before printing. Please help... desperately need my printer to work!

    I've had the printer for less than 2 years 6520 and black stopped printing. I did all the instructions on the screen for troubleshooting, and still it does not work. If anyone has some advice, it would be appreciated. I'm not wanting to pay a fee to speak to a live person. What happened to free customer service?
