Black ink HP Photosmart 7520 runs inside

For a few months now I have had to replace my black cartridge once a week due to a leak of ink or being outside the bottom and on my desk and erased on paper. It's crazy to go through a lot of ink. I don't want to buy a new printer buy surly can't afford to keep buying ink. It is done just with black I always buy HP ink never fill so I do not understand what could have happened.

Kendy,

If you buy new ink each week for several months, you may already close to pay for a new printer.

I have this printer model - it's a nice printer; is NOT admitted to the leakage of ink - not of anywhere.

It is a sad situation.

You could call HP on this subject - you need to talk to a technician:

  • Streaky printing cartridge Black XL Neuve (Photosmart 7520)

    I installed a new cartridge HP XL Black in the 7520 Photosmart ten days ago.  Today printing black-and-white text I mostly started to become unreadable - scratched, stained, faint - even if the ink level report about 3/4 full for black (of course, the report itself printed with streaks, etc..) I removed and re-inserted the black cartridge to do it has been placed correctly (it was and it is) and then I ran the proper function of the printer cartridges. The print quality report came back fine (including alignment) except that the black box was scratched. After completing this report in print quality, I tried printing text. The first document of a printed page a bit scratched and erratic low spaces; the second time I printed, it's almost unreadable. Any suggestions?

  • problem of black ink HP photosmart printer

    I have a printer HP photosmart B110a and the black ink cartridge will not print. I tried replacing, switching works etc, but cannot make it work. This looks like a common problem from what I see on the forums. I'm very fed up with this problem. Can anyone help?

    Did you get an improvement for all after letting soak the printhead? Have you checked the evacuation on the cartridge area to see if it is clogged?

  • Black ink failure Photosmart 5510 e - All in one series

    Hi all

    Just bought the 5510 all-in-one PC world.

    2 questions.

    1. I can print it, but no (or little) black ink. I swapped the cartridges (in which case one provided in the box was a dud) but the same thing happens. No impression, or very light gray.

    2. I can print an alignment page, but the analysis fails, no suggestion of how to solve the problems, if alignment is dead in the water

    I lived all the troubleshooting onboard and used the mac based system to solve problems too.

    Nothing helps.

    (With no black ink), I can print from iphone or mac.

    Please help if you can.

    Thank you

    Hold button power for 20 seconds and then turn off the machine, then hold for 20 seconds then turn on the machine and this machine is turned on, press and hold the power button for three seconds following. This piece of lunatic of advice was given to me by the support. It worked. Which is lucky for them. Apparently not a ridiculous idea.

  • Photosmart 7520: selection of cartridge?

    my printer seems to use the photo black ink cartridge when printing documents. It is a hypothesis because it's the only cartridge which shows low ink level and my documents seem to be an empty cartridge printing close. I rarely use it for printing photos so I don't know why it's using this cartridge, but it needs to use almost empty. Is there a way to change the settings?

    Hey @ringmaster,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand that you run low of photo black ink in your 7520 Photosmart e-All-In-One printer when you rarely print pictures. The printer uses a little of each color as a base before regular black printing. This is done to improve the quality of the prints and as a safety feature to prevent the print head don't dry out. If the print head is clogged or dry, the printhead needs to be replaced and printheads do not part replaced at low cost.

  • Ink black Photosmart 7520 does not

    My brand-new 7520 seems to have given your work already. Black ink is out of use.

    When printing, it started generating no printed stripes and after two pages, no more black ink was put on paper.

    Although the almost new cartridge should always do, I replaced it with a new cartridge of the original HP brand.

    The problem persists however, and still no black ink has not put on paper.

    I don't see any physical defect.

    What should I do?

    SWIFT comments are appreciated.

    Hi diaro56,

    Be sure and check the levels of ink for all colors and replace any weak inks.  A low color can cause the black to print.

    I would like to run the cleanup utility printhead under Tools 2 or 3 times.  I'm linking a document troubleshooting to meet the problems of print quality.  Click here  Take a look at that and see if one of these steps is useful.  Let me know how it goes.

    Good luck!

  • Photosmart 7520: Must the Photosmart HP 7520 TWO black ink cartridges (complete and installed) to work?

    Hello

    I read a few threads where people are struggling with the question of black ink with this printer. These threads, it seems clear that HP didn't design this system very well, and I would tend to agree. Even if someone said I could find the cartridge (bowtie) smaller at Staples, I can't find it. Even if I could find it, I don't want to have 2 kinds of ink black to store all the time. And my printer does not print black with only a new XL Black 564 installed. Is there a setting I'm missing in the menu where I can choose the XL cartridge only? The manual is not clear on this, and I think it's something that should be clearly explained.

    My question is simple, and please, one who answers, read my questions and do not provide a generic incomplete response and then put a little check mark 'Resolved' next to this problem. With 3 wires, that I read on this subject, the question NOT yet resolved or fully explained.

    The printer may be used and black printing using only the right XL cartridge or do I need to have both complete and installed black cartridges to work? And a follow-up, the left cartridge (bowtie) should stay there so he works or can I remove it and keep filling the cartridge XL to go forward with the empty to the left slot. If you work for HP and you are reading this and 100% do not know the answer... call someone at HP who has designed this printer and know please let me know.

    Thank you!

    The printer requires all cartridges having ink - they don't need to be full, but they all need to be installed and have adequate ink.  The thick black cartridge is pigmented black, mainly used for text and graphics on paper.  Thinner bowtie is the photo cartridge.  It contains dye black ink based and is designed for printing on photo paper.  Black pigmented ink is not compatible with the glossy photo media, black of the photo will be used in cases where the photo paper is selected in the driver or detected automatically.

    The Photosmart 7520 has separated from the inks and printheads, with plumbing to connect.  All inks must be present to prevent air intake in the plumbing or the print heads and keep the printheads from clogging.  See here for more information on using ink.

  • Photosmart HP 7520 - selection between large and small black ink cartridges

    Hello

    How to choose the big back in print cartridge. 564 large black ink cartridge and the small cartridge is 564 photo XL.  The printer uses only the thin cartridge ink and not the large carridge. Is it possible to select one cartridge to another?

    Thank you

    So looks like you do not print photos and print text documents only the photo ink is used.  Does not serve ordinary black ink.  Are read you the ink gauge of the printer or the computer?  They both agree?  I have some additional questions.

    1. What is the ink level estimated for each cartridge according to the gauge of printer ink?
    2. Are one of the toner cartridges "SETUP"?  If so, which?
    3. Are the HP brand ink cartridges?
    4. Have you removed and reinstalled ink cartridges?  Does make a difference.
    5. You have run the print head cleaning utility?  To do this, click the key button, then Tools , then on print head cleaning.  I ran 2 or 3 times.

    Are there changes?

    I would like to be able to use black ink about 99% of the time. Is it possible to install my HP Photomart 7520

    Default printer in black ink in the more economical printing option?

    Hello

    You can use black ink only for printing however ink color will always be used to service the printer. Once the color ink is too low to maintain the print heads, you will no longer be able to print to the color ink replacement.

    You can set printing black ink by going to control panel > devices and printers.

    Right-click the printer icon and choose Printing Preferences.

    There click Advanced button.

    Set Print as Gayscale as the black ink only and confirm the changes.
