C310a not printing black

OK I went through all the posts on these forms, followed all the links of the interview, replaced cartridges, aligning the print heads, cleaning of the printheads, powered it extinguished/turned on, and the printer is still not printing black. It worked very well and then everything just stopped printing black. I use this printer to print approximately 150 pages, since I got last June. Any ideas? I am frustrated with this printer.

Bob, thank you very much for taking your time to answer.  I tried the troubleshooting steps and soak the printhead as you suggested.  It seemed that he did nothing because my black print not after these steps.  I gave up and called HP technical support, hoping that they can help me more.  My first call did not much help because on their system, it showed that my warranty has expired.  It has not expired, so I found my Bill and called again three days later.  The Francis tech had me turn on the printer and copy a document.  Black printed on the first try!  It wasn't a perfect impression had it streaks going across the text in black, but black is finally printed.  We went through several steps to get the black to write legibly.  Align us the cartridges few times, cleaned the cartridges, printed several test pages and wipe the electrical contacts of the print head with a damp lint.  I am extremely relieved that my printer now works.  Thank you.

  • HP Photosmart Premium C309g do not print black ink

    Hello

    My HP Photosmart Premium C309g (CD055A) will not print black ink even if the cartridge is full. He's going through the motions of printing but the pages come out blank. It prints colors, they are not as dark as before, so I know that black is not working. I have cleaned the print heads, turned off the printer, unplug the printer, restarted the computer, but nothing works. I get colors on the report of the print quality, but the printer status report comes out blank. I bought a new black ink cartridge (564XL) think the previous one was defective (levels showed a 75% ink) but I still have the same problem. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Hey,.

    I see you have done some troubleshooting on the issue of the print quality that you are experiencing.  I would make sure you did all the troubleshooting steps available for your research problem in the document following the link.

    Print colors are the colors should not when the C309 Photosmart Premium printing.

    If you have completed all these steps, then I check the status of your printer warranty.  If it is out of warranty, you should consider the solution provided by Bob_Headrick in the thread found here.

  • 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.

  • HP ENVY 4504: HP ENVY 4504 does not print black ink even with full cartridge

    Used by my office printer is not printing black ink. It does not, it is out of black ink, but anything on a page I print requiring black ink is absent. I checked the cartridge to see if she had missed and the printer was not to tell me, but she didn't. I also tried to put in a new black ink cartridge, but it wouldn't print black to help anyone.

    There is no problem with color printing and the problem started only today. The black cartridge is certainly compatible with this printer as it had been good working with it so far.

    We bought this printer less than a year ago now.

    Until outside to change the cartridges I also turned the printer off and on again, but neither helped.

    I would appreciate greatly any assistance that we currently only this one printer at the office and we rely on it for a lot of work.

    Thank you very much.

    Ink cartridge information after doing all the recommendations of HP:

    Once you check the vents turn the cartridge and check the underside near the opening of the ink.  They can be of four plastic tabs near the opening are resurrected.  Make sure that the raised tabs are removed and made flush with the body of the cell.  This will cause the cartridge do not do sit properly in all of the print head and cause air that are expected.  This will affect especially the black ink cartridge.

    In particular, let us know if you find the above to be true.

  • Printer HP Photosmart will not print black

    Printer does not print black.  New cartridge, vent open, rebooted, powered turn off/on. etc.  Will be no copy/print or computer/print.  Commercial ran.  Will only print colours - not black.  Need advice.

    Hi robin

    I hope that we can get you back to print.

    You have a c310 PS, right? Have you tried the usual things like

    -check ink levels

    -running a clean print head

    -verification of the cartridge is properly ventilated

    If so, then soaking the printhead suggested by Bob Headrick might work. Otherwise, you could buy a new printhead at shop part of HP (because I assume that your printer is now out of warranty?)

    The part No. you will need to pick up at the store is CN642A. The link is below ("buy a new online')

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Photosmart 6520e: 6520e not printing black

    Suddenly, printer will not print black.

    Replaced the black cartridge twice and all the cartridges with genuine HP cartridges color.

    Power levels are reported as good. The shows blocks of good CMY color print quality Diagnostics page. but just a white block (empty) for blacks. Printer snap lines are extremely low.

    Have cleaned the printheads twice.

    A printing system rest in Printers & Scanners preferences.

    Thanks for any advice.

    You will need to use rubber gloves if you try the following.
    Turn off the power to the printer.
    There is a small filter to sieve under the black cartridge.

    DAB gently with a q-tip soaked in hot water.
    It may take a few tries to get unplugged sieve filter.
    Do a 'clean' between attempts.

  • HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 3525: HP Deskjet 3525 not print black, but print [Black] symbols!

    Hello.

    I have HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 3525 e-all-in-one printer.

    The printer stop printing in black.

    I am trying:

    1. put the new cartridge HP 655 black original .

    2. I do several head cleaning cycles.

    3. I gave for printer.

    4. I remove the cartridges, turn the printer off, swith on the power cable, wait for mo to 60 seconds and plug everything back.

    5. I clean the vents and the surface of the black cartridge.

    6. I do everything, what I see in the paper by HP - Printers - HP Deskjet 3520, color or black ink not print

    And all of this does not help. My HP 3525 does not print black.

    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!
