Cartridges black vs black HP Photosmart 310 Photo has

We just received our Photosmart 310 last night and it works very well, connected wireless to a Macbook Pro running the Snow Leopard was last updated. My question is about the use of black ink. We printed out several sheets of text and a few pictures of color falls asleep. The standard (Pentagon) to install ink cartridge is declining, but the black photo cartridge has not been used at all, insofar as the ink supply status reports. Why ink ordinary black used when the photo black is not? How is a control of the use of a type of black ink on the other?

I saw the page 'How ink is used', but it does not address this issue. Thanks in advance for an overview of this!

The black cartridge is used for the text and the dark area when printing graphics or photos on plain paper.  Apart from maintenance use as you have seen in the way the ink is used to page the photo cartridge will only be used when printing on photo paper.

  • Hp134 cartridge is really compatible with photosmart c3183? Not recognized.

    Hp134 cartridge is really compatible with photosmart c3183?

    https://h30042.www3.HP.com/SureSupply/CountryChangeSubmit.action?nav&nav#3

    Had an error with the new hp134 - copy color and cartridge blink = not recognized, full reset does not help.

    Contacts are clear.

    Black print cartridge is hp132 - seem to be recognized and it was working before the color cartridge error. But no printing is available even in black and no self test printing - when you press "Cancel" + "color copy" just "power we" blinks a few seconds.

    Hello

    134 ink cartridge is not compatible with your printer, HP Suresupply list as compatible either:

    The 132 black cartridge must be used with the Tricolor 136 only cartridge.

    You can also use the 131 black with the 135 color ink cartridges capacity.

    Any other combination won't work, as you can find below:

  • HP Photosmart 5510e printer has suddenly stopped printing correctly

    Original title: fault printer

    Hello

    I have a HP Photosmart 5510e printer that has suddenly stopped printing correctly because the black ink is not getting through.  I did everything possible troubleshooting I can and replaced all the cartridges for new ones, but nothing helped.  When I did a report print quality he had no black ink on it at all. This leads me to think that there may be a blockage between the cartridge and print head. Any ideas?

    You might want to try this: failure of black ink Photosmart 5510 e-All in one series

    Using cartridges HP no also could cause this kind of problem.  Otherwise, it is usually a sign that the printhead is kaput, impossible to replace this printer print head if the printer is also kaput, on the garbage heap, it will!  That's how it is with printers, you can either pay in advance for a printer expensive hard and has lower cost of Ink/toner replacement or you can buy a cheap and pay through the nose for ink replacement and in a year or two to mix the printer all out with the trash.
