DeskJet 1010: Black cartridge is full; but the prints either light gray or not at all.

• Ink is full, but the print quality is not good with HP Officejet 7000

  I was printing on CD labels/stickers just now and noticed that even if I chose Normal / the best print quality, the result is always the same: it looks faded, and as if I'm out of ink.

  There are not any warnings I was running out of ink, but I replaced the cartridge anyway. However, print quality has remained the same. Should I set in the settings? Help.

  PS, It might be useful to know that, because we bought this last end of July 2010, we only used two or three times, never until today.

  I hope you help me find a solution for this. Thank you!

  Apparently, the way out is the cleaning cartridge and harmonizing.

• Why I can't print black and white if the yellow cartridge is empty but the black is full?

  I have a Photosmart C7250 all-in-one and Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, why can't I print in black and white if a color cartridge is empty? The black cartridge is full, it is not the only one to be used? Is there a setting somewhere that I can change just print in black? I tried the black and white option through command prompt on my computer but the printer always gives me an error message saying that I need to replace the yellow before I can print.

  The reason that this, your printer is actually not to damage the internal parts.  Mainly the printhead.  It is built in integrated security to help protect your investment.  HP, as other printer manufacturers, offers you with permanent print heads printers requiring ink for all colors, avoid the print heads. HP, like some other manufacturers, also offers printers with user replaceable print heads. These may or may not require ink in all colors in print, even though damage may occur if the print from the cartridge empty. Finally, HP as some other manufacturers also offers printers with the printhead into the ink supply. He is replaced at each change of cartridge. These printers will happily print with a diet low, empty or many deleted completely same models.  I understand that it can be very annoying, but it's a necessary.

  Hi Shanmarie1103,

  If the cartridges are rebuilt you will not get a read out on the ink levels. You will need to use a new OEM cartridge with a new chip for the ink levels. Click on the links below for more information.

• HP DeskJet Ink Advantage 2135: How to handle the cartridge if move us the printer from one location to another (15-20 hours travel)

  I bought the printer mumbai to donote to my school in my village. I tested the printer in mumbai and now want to take to my Village. I have to travell 15-20 hours by Bus to get to the place. So just wanted to know what kind of precautions should take before departure.

  A few things came into my mind was as below

  (1) should handling cartridge - I remove the cartridge of the printer? If Yes, then, is there any specific packaging should do. As boxed lunch or something.

  (2) I have the original box, so I'll be packaging printer except cartridge in this area.

  Any guy of pointers?

  Thanks in advance

  Hey Ashok,

  It should be possible to carry the printer with you on the bus.  The printer will be with you or it will be in one area of luggage on the bus?

  It should be possible to leave the cartridges in the printer, but they must be original and held in the ceilings of the printer.  To ensure that cartridges are held in home position please turn off the printer on the power button and wait that all the noise to stop.  Cartridges would then be held in the ceilings of the printer.  This should be reasonably sure. Then unplug the printer from the outlet on the wall.

  If the cartridges are removed from the printer, then it would be difficult to preserve them so that they may function properly after a trip of 15 to 20 hours outside of the printer it is therefore better to keep them in the printer, but they must be original and held in the ceilings of the printer.

  Given that you have recently purchased this printer it would be better to put back in the box with all foam packaging printer who was with her when you bought it.  In this way they will be protected during transport.  If you do not have the box and the packing of origin perhaps put in a bag with bubbles of air or paper around it to protect it when you travel.  If possible, it would be preferable to keep it with you on your knees on a trip, but this is not possible.

  This is the best advice I can give.  I hope this helps.

  I can't guarantee anything, but it would be better to check it out again when you arrive at your destination.

  • Click the Plus (+)

• Printer not responding not connections (wireless printer) is good and solid. I replaced my old router wirelessly with a router of valuation. I had to plug it, but the printer does not respond now.

  Printer not responding not connections (wireless printer) is good and solid. I replaced my old router wirelessly with a router of valuation.  I had to plug it, but the printer does not respond now.

  Is what brand and model of printer?

  I do not work unless your new router has the same SSID and password wireless as the old. Consult your printer documentation to find out how to handle the situation. For example, some Lexmark wireless printers have a program called Configuration Utility Wireless in the Lexmark folder under all programs on the start menu that is used to set up the printer when changes are made to the wireless network.
