• DeskJet 2541: brand new HP Deskjet 2541 not printing black

  Just set up our new Deskjet 2541. Impressions color very well, but when I try to print black it prints a blank page.

  Ink estimate shows that the black cartridge is about 75% full. I ran the alignment and vacuuming twice.

  I also tried to do a hard reboot by unplugging for 30 seconds and then plug it in.

  As much as I know there is no problem with black cartridge, its all just not printing.

  Help?

  Edit: I took out and put new and when the alignment page is printed there are 2 red arrows and a warning sign on the bottom half red. Upper half a blue colors only.

  It's working now. No idea of what he did, I turned it off for a whole day and when I restarted the properly printed alignment page and black now works!

  Moreover, if I print a test page for the printer, I see racks, which are printed in black!

  At the same time, the black level is not printed!

  Please, help to repair!

  Hi @MobileWanted,

  The printer is probably using composite black. A mixture of the color cartridges will create black.

  The print head is probably clogged. This model has a permanent print head. Not one of HPs, my personal recommendation is to use the solution put forward in the next video.  I suggest you only do this if the printer is out of warranty: How to fix a HP printer, printing black ink not.

  If the printer is still under warranty, please call for a replacement printer.

  Thank you!

• After you have installed the new cartridge HP do not print black ink

  HP Officejet 4620, Windows 7... installed new HP black ink cartridge and now it will not print black at all. I followed all the advice line in the help section, even cleaned the vents on the cartridge itself but shows only the white page. No error message is displayed. Diagnostic ran and says it all works correctly. Also cleaned printheads through 2 cycles still nothing. Any other suggestions? It was working fine before inserting the new black ink cartridge.

  Hi Teresa1960,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I see that you are facing some print quality problems on your HP Officejet 4620 you cannot print in black ink.

  You have completed all THE steps listed here: printer does not print black ink or color of ink or prints blank Pages, without success.

  Please note: there are three stages of print head cleaning. Three steps if necessary. If the print head is badly clogged, it may require another round of cleaning. If so, wait 30 minutes after the last step of cleaning (third) to start the first stage of the cleanup process.

  If you are unable to print in black ink, I think that the issue may be the printer and not the cartridge. I highly recommend call you our technical support at the 800-474-6836, I'm sure they will be able to help you regardless of the status of the guarantee.

• 4 new cartridges but still not PRINTING BLACK.

  We have a HP Deskjet 3070 using Windows 8

  We don't use it a lot and so when he started being picky last week I thought I had to delete it and reinstall whenever I wanted to use this I don't mind really.

  But it was faded printing, so I replaced the Blcak cartridge as we only really need to print in black.

  After having done that, it was still faded so I paid and bought new cartridges HP authentic to replace the lot, thinking they were probably all dry and need to change anyway.

  However this has not corrected the problem.

  Print colors without any problem at all, but black is partial, faded or even not that does not exist.

  Any ideas... Please!

  Return the printer to Costco and exchanged for another 6520. The 2nd works great so far! I kept test prints of the first printer that definitely has lower quality of black print before it stopped working. I think that something should interfere with connections.

• New Dell v525 will not print black

  Just got a v525w of my company for my remote desktop.  I went through the installation process on the disc, but the printer will print color not black, only.  All cartridges are new aluminum foil packaging and a quick search online has not turned upward all useful patches.  Touch the round black cartridge pad shows the ink in the cartridge, once again, don't think it's the cartridge.

  Any thoughts on how to fix?

  Phone support rep had me clean print head and that fixed it.  Such storage or shipping sometimes affects the print head.

• DeskJet 2544: Do not print black

  I've been using this printer for over a year now and suddenly the black does not print, print all colors fine, but started black printing of a very light gray, then everything just stopped printing. I did all the tricks and tips (alignment, cleaning 4 times I may add etc) but still have this problem. I bought new ink, even if the old one still shows half full, and it still doesn't work! any ideas people? I don't really have the money to buy a new printer and have a full and half full black ink cartridge. help, advice or tips I could try before bouncing back from this printer on the wall and connect with standards, business would be greatly appreciated.

• HP Deskjet all-in-one: HP Deskjet 3520 will not print black, period

  OK, I've lost my WHOLE day, searched forums, has done what others have tried, poste posted HP Facebook, doing whatever is humanly possible to get my printer to print in black. I ran the clean printhead, black ink changed TWICE new cartridges, reloaded drivers, reset the default open to the top of the printer and tried to manually clean the head after only 4 hours to do everything I can possibly do to get this junk to print in black. The printer is only a year old and the cartridges are freshly bought from the store. So, tell me what am I missing or is the printer ready to be stoned?

• New Photosmart 5520 will not print in black

  I have a new HP Photosmart 5520 printer all-in-one.  Black ink ran out so I replaced it with a previously used ink cartridge which is of the same type # 564 but a XL version.  This cartridge has been barely used.  Now, I just can't get anything to print in black.  It will print in color, but not black.  I tried to turn off the printer.  I put the cartridge in my printer and it worked fine.  What should I do?

  The in the here document troubleshooting steps may help resolve problems with black not not printing on your Photosmart 5520.  Especially make sure to check the events as on the Six Solution.

• HP 5510 will be not printed black before and after you installed the new cartridge. the specified controls did.

  Photosmart HP 5510 will be not printed black before and after you installed the new cartridge.  The specified controls did.

  Yes, I was referring to manually clean the print head. I see that the 5510 lacks the possibility of leaving the print head manually.
  
  You can click on the menu of your SETUP program on your screen and go to TOOLS and clean the print head from there.
  
  If this does not resolve your problem, you may need to replace the print head.
  Contact HP Total Care (1800-474-6836), and if your unit is under warranty, its free.
  
  Let me know if this can help, thank you.

  Hello

  Of course check that the cartridge is very savvy.

  As OEM HP is responsible for the good operation of the printer and their

  Good luck, you need to update or reinstall the latest driver.

• DeskJet F4480: full black print cartridge still does not print black. Colors OK.

  What the title says. All of a sudden my Deskjet F4480 does not print black. All cartridges are almost nine (changed recently, bought at Staples). Colour printing is OK. Print a page with black text and results in only the images printing color images. I only went through all the steps of cleaning cartridge several times, no difference. There is no error message, just black not appear do not at all.

  And... Here is the solution.

  Funny how I found an explanation of the problem and how to fix it on a different printer manufacturer's Web site, but not on HP... But I digress.

  The black cartridge has been blocked. The way of difficulty is:

  1. remove the faulty cartridge from the printer.

  2. place a small amount of boiling water in a cup (about 1/4 in.) and dunk of the print head (the part where the ink comes out) in warm water for a minute. Do not immerse the entire cartridge in hot water, just the print head.

  3 take it out, pat against a paper towel, observe the model ink left in the cartridge on the towel. If too little / interrupted, dunk again in hot water for another minute, pat again. You want to get an unbroken line of ink through the length of the print head. Repeat as needed (I did 4 times total).

  4 cartridge Pat dry everywhere, put it back in the printer, run cleaning cycles (1 - 2).

  5. If still not good fixed, take out the cartridge and repeat 2 (I had to do it again).

  You will lose little ink, cartridge of bad and good a well (you can not run cycles with only 1 cleaning cartridge), but at least you won't have to throw a nearly full cartridge.
