• 5512: 5512 printer will not print black - 3 of all colors print correctly

  Hello

  The 5512 will not print black.  New cartridge installed.  Clean print head run more than 5 times without problem.  There was many 5512 'no black printing problem' not noticed on this forum with many courses of resolution.  I followed the instructions found on so many comments, but unfortunitely, the problem still exist.  I noticed there were some done private view so I don't know that there is a similar problem that needs to be processed offline.  Thanks in advance for any help provided.

  Thank you all for the suggestions.

  Nothing has worked for don't solve the "no black ink.

  So, I took the print head of cart and carefully protected the small circuit board on the back side.  There is a large accumulation of ink on the bottom of the Assembly.  I sat the nozzles at the bottom of the distribution of very hot water and allowed some time to soak.  From there on, I used carefully some fabric material and q-tips to wipe the nozzles.  Then I got very hot water, and he ran to the top of the side of the Assembly to the screens and through the nozzles.  This effort lead to a very large discharge of ink black and color.  I dried the Assembly and reassembled the transport to the printer.  Placed all the cartridges back in, ran clean printhead once and then guess what? the printer now prints black and color inks better than he has in years.

  Total time needed to perform this cleanup was less than 30 minutes from start to finish.

  Good luck to all of you who have this problem.

  Before the rampage of the printer, it is interesting to try this fix.

  Good luck!

• OfficeJet 6000 E609n: One color (black) does not print

  Background the color black does not print.
  Background page printed from the printer status indicates that there is no black ink. This impression has said that there is sufficient (at least 20%) supply of three coloured inks. Per the comment above, no black printing does appear on the page printed of the status of the printer, even if the black cartridge has been rather recently installed (2015-12-24).
  Background none of the four "low ink" lights on the printer are turned on.
  Background the State indicated by the HP Solution Center utility displays a green check mark, that is to say, that everything is OK.
  Background the "estimated ink levels" in the utility HP Solution Center indicate that the black ink cartridge is about 60% full.
  Background I've done the first of these two cleaning procedures to clean the print head. It produces no change. (In fact twice.)
  Background I removed the power cord to the printer and unplugged the power cord from the source and then wait 10 seconds. Then I reconnected things together. Nothing has changed.
  Background I cleaned the vent for the black cartridge.
  Background I replaced the black cartridge. The level indicated on the "Estimated ink levels" in the HP Solution Center utility now indicate that the black ink cartridge is 100% full.  No change.

  Background now, I think that the problem may be the print head.  I am discouraged.

  Any suggestions?

  Hi @Upper_Left,

  It seems as if the HP product registration service is temporarily unavailable.

  Normally you get invited to register immediately after installation is complete.

  It's a Web page that can help you know if the printer is listed, or as aid re-register once the number of available service - Registration Question Index.

  The term of defective kernel is used which means that the defective part you are replacing is the same part that you send back.

  When you select the option to change the replacement part is usually repaired or refurbished, is why there is such a difference in price between the parties. It seems that if the defective part is not returned within the specified time. 'faulty base tax' is loaded.

  I can't say for sure 100% that the problem will be resolved to the replacement printhead. If the printer was in warranty, it would be the normal order of operations.

  Please click the "accept as Solution" and the "thumbs up" button up on top of my first response above and other similar issues may find the easiest solution.
   
  Thank you!

• OfficeJet 6500 has more: printer will not use BLACK ink to print in BLACK. Mix of colors rather than use BLACK.

  Printer prints BLACK ink BLACK, instead he mixes the colours to make BLACK.  It creates copies in BLACK only, without mixing colors to achieve the BLACK, but when I ask it to print something it automatically uses the ink color.

  In properties, advanced, I checked the box to print in BLACK only, but did not help.

  In the printing preferences, shortcuts, where it says printing in grayscale, do you feel black ink only as a default?

  I don't know if it will work, I do not use this parameter or the Advanced setting, I have been using high-quality grayscale, but I'm interested to know why, also, when I print 99.9% of the time with color, what I need to change the color ink cartridges so frequently.  You say the color of those who are used to make black.  That makes no sense to me either why the printer would do that, except high-quality grayscale means he uses color inks vs only Black Ink is not.

  Test printed with two parameters, and that is exactly the same, so I won't set my default preferences for levels of gray-black ink only printing and see what happens.

  What how can you tell whether or not the printer is mix colors?  (by the way, if you use unusually fast color ink)

• Why my PRO - 100 black-and-white prints have a color tint?

  I print out on the printer PIXMA Pro-100 and sometimes, for no apparent reason (?), my black and white prints have a color tint (generally a "reddish brown"), then when printing to new... same settings print, same... the same impression will be fine, neutral with no tint at all.

  No idea why?

  Also (perhaps related?) I do not understand why Photo-Cyan and Magenta cartridges are exhausted when I'm NOT print color, but only black and white.  Am I missing something?  When you set up for printing, I always make sure that the 'Black and white photography' feature is selected in settings dialog "Quick Installation".  This ensures not only the black and gray inks are used as long as I'm not "toning"?  In other words... ONLY black and gray inks are used, if not the impression that is supposed to be a black and white printing neutral? Yet once... I missed something?

  FOR INFO:

  I print on Canon Pro radiance papers and more glossy.

  Under 'Options - color management', I selected:

  (color management) Photoshop Elements handles colors

  (image area) Adobe RGB (1998)

  (the printer profile) Canon PRO-100 1/2 Luster Photo Paper Pro

  (rendering mode) Perceptual

  The most important thing is the paper you choose to print on.  Find this first release. Any Epson printer which uses UltraChrome K3 inks will do a better job with B & W as a Pro-(anything).  But Epson suffers from obstruction more far do, Canon Pro-100 problems.

  If you print a lot is not too big of a problem, but if you print once a week or once a month to forget it.  Go with Canon that clogged very rarely, if ever.

  Try to find the right paper.  It will make everything better.  Call the Red River or Canson and ask them to recommend a book.  Red River will work with you and they know the Pro - 100 inside and outside.

  This is true for many printers, to protect damages (such as print heads, hooves...) they need all inks to work.

• HP 2605 - other colors print fine, but black is wacky

  Just disassembled my 2605 and cleaned the mirrors in an attempt to clean up some problems of discoloration. I put back it as well as a new black toner. All the colors print wonderfully a sheet of color. Black only prints about a third of the page and isn't really.  Tried to copy and paste an image of the output.  It comes through hope.  Any ideas?

  

  Hello jgabbard,

• HP Officejet Pro 6830: Officejet Pro 6830 prints black, no color

  I have a Macbook (not Pro) Late 2008 unibody, running Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.3. The impression was of color, now the same document print B & W I reinstalled the driver, no improvement. Using the touch screen of the printer, the quality Diagnostic Page Print prints color very well. The ink cartridges are genuine HP. They are all half full or more. I'm wireless printing.

  A test, I created a new Word, typed in three words, big and fat, made every word a different color doc. It prints B & w.

  Another test, I printed a Web page of my iPhone and it printed in color very well.

  Is there a setting on the Macbook that I don't see? It printed in color very well about a week ago.  Now the draw is B & W. No new apps have been installed.

  How can I return the color? Thank you!

  Hello @portraitmac!

  Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  I'd be happy to give a hand on this black and white printing problem.  If the printer is able to do a self-test or print from another device in color then the issue is likely related software on the MacBook.  The fist thing I suggest resets the printing system in Mac.

  To reset the printing system:

  1. click click the apple in the upper left corner of the Mac

  2. click on System Preferences

  3. click on printers and scanners

  4 hold down the CTRL key and click with the mouse in the empty space under the name of printers

  5. click on reset the drop-down list printing system

  6. you should get a color wheel and the printer should disappear

  

  After that, try to uninstall the HP software.  Once the software uninstalled I recommended to perform a "repair disk permissions" on your Mac.  A repair disk permissions is a utility built into the operating system Mac designed to detect and resolve problems or errors. After that permission to repair disc is finished, reboot your Mac computer and re-install the software.

  To uninstall the software HP click here: uninstall the HP software

  To perform a repair authorization disk click here: performance of a repair disk permissions

  To download the HP software, click here: 6830 Officejet full feature and driver software

  After the installation I recommend that you check the software updates on the Mac. To search for software updates, click the icon "Apple" to the left and click on the "app store". In the app store, you can click on the "updates" at the top of the window. Updates install and Hp or a printer. After the update, you must restart the computer.

  When all is finished, try to print again and see if it comes out of color.

  If please, after back and let me know how everything goes!
