  • OfficeJet 4630: brand new officejet 4630 with the problem of black ink and ok button does not work

    Hello! Today, I bought a new printer, officejet 4630 and it included ink cartridges in the box.

    ISET it upward as the sheet in the box said. After I had filled in date etc, I put in the ink (and Yes, remember to check it was compatible and take the Ribbon), then this message showed on the screen and still doesn't work:

    "Problem of ink cartridges. The following ink cartridges need to be replaced"and a black dot.

    The cartridges were brand new and came in the same area as the printer.

    I tried a reset (taking the power cord, wait 60 s etc) I saw in the Hp support you need to press 'ok' to get rid of the message before restarting. I can't press ok. It sounds right. I press any button.

    Suggestions? Of course, I can try it with a new cartridge, but to pay $20 for a new cartridge, when it was included in the box and should work is not correct.

  • Cartridge, HP 920 XL: Wireless HP Officejet 6000, the problem of black ink printer

    I have a HP Officejet 6000 wireless printer.  It's 2nd HP 920 XL cartridge that has not worked.  It does not show that it is empty, but it will not be printed.  Our school cannot afford to replace these at this rate.  Please let me know what to do to make this work correctly.

    I removed the printer as my default so that I could use another printer.  When I ran the program again to check for problems, the guest asked me to add the printer returned as default.   When I reconnected it the printer as long as my default, I tested the printer and it worked.  Don't know why remove and then add back in the set, but he did.

  • 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?

    1. If the duct is blocked, use a straight pin to gently remove the excess glue from the vent.

  • HP6520 - problem with black ink - no black ink on paper

    I have a 6520 All in One – this week the printer decided to stop printing in black ink - cartridges were installed a few weeks ago and level is higher than 50%

    What procedure I tried, the printer does not print with black more - also not a bit - paper stays white where black ink should be!

    Of course the printer is out of warranty (02-2012), but as I see it, this problem happens a lot on this type of printer - so there is certainly something wrong

    Please HP, it may be that I have to replace my printer after 2 years because he is not black print more or I have to pay more money to fix when I have to pay for a new printer.

    Awaiting your response

  • Photosmart HP 5510 fails to print with the nine 364XL black ink cartridge

    The black cartridge HP 364 "SETUP" origin has worked well and I bought a black cartridge HP364XL via the HP Web site.

    I installed the HP364XL this morning, but he is unable to leave the necessary ink on the pages.

    The cartridge seems to be OK and there is no error message.  The paper passes through the usual way, but fate with no print on it.  The date on the box is September 2014, this is not out of date.

    I tried to find what the problem is.  I checked the cartridge is correctly installed and it seems to have ink inside.   I tried to print using the black cartridge again and again with different parameters, such as 'Fast draft' and 'Normal', but every time the paper emerges with no impression.  The 'supply levels' shows the black cartridge about 90% full.

    This is normally caused by the vent on the top of the cartridge being blocked, or a dirty print head. The document below will help you work out the problem. Let me know what happens.

  • Problem with black ink

    Hello there, I have a HP C6380 printer. I ran out of black ink small 564. I have a larger 564 black ink there how can I get the printer to use the largest cartiage of ink instead of replace ink 564 more small.

    Thank you

    Scott

    @yellowlabscott, Yes, you can use the cartridge of 564 more GRAND. It should be inserted directly into the slot and read it.

    Are you have problems with the larger cartridge is not suitable?

    New XL cartridges are made more small these days, but they are still considered as the largest and more ink. So it still needs work.

    @alexisgb, you may need to clean the black cartridge. Try to clean the print head and check the results.

    You also have the Photosmart C6380?

  • Irish critical update needed to solve the problem of black and white tv on the G20!

    I recently had trouble with the implementation of the tv on my Qosmio G20, I was directed in the direction of an issue of black and white affecting earlier models. The solution to the problem was to use the drivers of the g20 and run 2 reg files.

    Having done that I tried all combinations Irish possible, with still in black and white without success, I then tried UK and got the color.

    I mucked with the recording files and found that there is no Irish layout in the file, then when a user updates to Ireland as their situation they will always get black and white.

    The Ireland uses the exact same settings for television as in the United Kingdom, however if a person chooses UK they fall outside the Irish guides or Irish to choose channels amongst (Ireland is not part of the United Kingdom)

    I found the settings for the United Kingdom-

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE es\ttv200x\Parameters\44]
    @= "United Kingdom".
    "FreqBoundary" = dword:000493e0
    "LB_VideoStandard" = dword:20000080
    "LB_AudioStandard" = dword:00020000
    "LB_ShiftFreq" = dword:00000abe
    "HB_VideoStandard" = dword:20000080
    "HB_AudioStandard" = dword:00020000
    "HB_ShiftFreq" = dword:00000abe

    Thinking the 44, was the dialing code for the United Kingdom (which took a while to understand), I added an entry to register with exactly the same parameters but with the Ireland and 353 above.

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE es\ttv200x\Parameters\353]
    @= "Ireland".
    "FreqBoundary" = dword:000493e0
    "LB_VideoStandard" = dword:20000080
    "LB_AudioStandard" = dword:00020000
    "LB_ShiftFreq" = dword:00000abe
    "HB_VideoStandard" = dword:20000080
    "HB_AudioStandard" = dword:00020000
    "HB_ShiftFreq" = dword:00000abe

    I now have color tv under the Irish settings in the library, I also make it sound now, where before I didn't. I hope that the code above will add registry files named ttv2_regdata_20050111.reg that comes as part of the correction of pilot http://support.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB5800V20000R01.htm to the problem...

    Thanks to jimi in what follows after http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?forumID=42&threadID=11145 for pointing me in the right direction.

  • Problem with black ink cartridge HP Deskjet 3520

    I just replaced a (almost) empty black ink cartridge in my HP Deskjet 3520 printer, and now I get no word on paper. The printer prints photos of a text, but not the text. The test page only gives light gray instead of black values.

    I put the cartridge almost empty return, but the results were the same: not a single word of the text has been printed.

    Can you help me with this one?

    Thanks for the reply. I cleaned up the area where the open cartridge area (square round where the ink comes out) ink and leaves the cartridge references in printer from one day to the next. By making these 2 steps, it started fine printing and quality is really good like the other. Thank you!!!

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 has problem with black ink printing

    I have an Officejet Pro 8500 a printer. When I print documents, it will not print anything in black ink. The colors work very well, but just black will not print. The printer says that the black ink cartridge has plenty of ink, and when I shake it, I can say that there is something in there. So, I don't think it's a question of black ink out. Is there a chance that something is blocking the ink out? Any patches for this in addition to the purchase of a new ink cartridge?

    Document here can help solve the black is not printing on your HP Officejet Pro 8500 has.

  • I found the FIX for the problem of HP4500 ink cartridge!

    I had problems with my ink cartridge three colors... just like many others. After searching endlessly with no solution to the problem, I decided to take a flashlight and look inside the printer. What I found was a piece that had become crooked behind my color cartridge. It was a simple solution... I took a long thin to flat head screwdriver and pushed very GENTLY in place. I then ran a TEST PAGE and ALIGNMENT before I printed anything... it worked! Here is a picture I took before I did the setting of the insert on the left hand side, it's here that the color cartridge is going... If you notice, it appears to be crooked... he slipped easily right now in place. I've reintroduced the cartridges and closed the door. IMPORTANT * make sure that you unplug your printer before attempting to solve this problem * good luck and hope it's a permanent and not temporary solution

  • strange problem of black ink 3110

    A few days ago I was at halfway by feel something urgent when black ink expired. He gave me the option to continue using only the colors and I agreed that finished fine print.

    I just put a new (original) black ink cartridge and the printer is show as being complete.

    "Black ink cartridge empty...". To continue with other colors, click on continue. Black color will be simulated... To cancel, press the Cancel button. »

    HOWEVER, if I click on "Cancel printing" in the window above error, it prints 100% very well using black to.

    Of course, the printer is fine but the PC is getting confused. Any suggestions please?  Vista 64 SP2

    OK, then insert the installation CD and explore its contents. Now, go to the folder Util > ccc and run the Uninstall_L2.bat file and let the uninstall complete. Now install the software again, and then, when you try to print, you should not get this msg again.
