• DeskJet 2540 does not print

  I just bought a 2540 Deskjet All in one printer and it won't print any documents. I installed the software from the disk and updated via the web as well. The laptop (vista) sees the printer and the hp software can see the printer but when I try to print a document seems to send it does not appear in the print queue, nothing prints. I used the doctor of printing & scanning hp which gave a green checkmark to everything to the point of test page. The test page will not print and I am prompted to print a test page, it prints perfectly and Dr. print & scan then told me the problem is with the software and to uninstall and reinstall which I was (remove all the hp program add/remove software) before reinstalling it from the Web site and the same thing happens. I tried to use a laptop (Windows 7 starter edition) and it's the same result.

  Any help would be appreciated

  See you soon

  There is a fix for this, the pilot 2540 don't currently work with the printer on some windows operating systems, but if you use the 990C driver that works with your printer, thanks to Mark of hp technical supports for the fix.

• DeskJet 3510 won't print black

  After a year of no problems printing, my 3510 abruptly stopped Deskjet, print black without any warning.  Put in the new HP ink cartridge.  A ran pages realignment many times.  Do you have a hard reboot.  Ran the clean printheads several times.  Still will not print in black a Word document or a copy.  A lot of noise as the print head moves back, but the page comes out completely empty.  Color printing and copy works fine.  Help!

  Hi richardwb,

  I see that you have already begun to solve the problem, but despite your best efforts, the printer will not print black ink again. Please complete all of the steps described in the following document, even if you already have some of them. The print head sometimes requires several cleanings to solve such a problem; The streaks of ink, fixing faded prints and other common print quality problems.

  If the problem persists, I recommend calling HP and let know, the issue and the steps you have already performed. It may be able to let them know that you completed all the steps in the HP document #c03376352.

  If you are in the Canada, U.S. dial 800-474-6836 or you can Contact HP worldwide.

  HP printers usually have a warranty of 1 year from the date of purchase, you can check the warranty using the following if you wish; guarantee cheque.

  I hope this helps.

• DeskJet 3522: Black ink does not print

  My HP Deskjet 3522 ceased to print anything in black.  Color printing very well.

  I cleaned the printhead for 5 times, run printer many pages, test and have downloaded and run the utility HP print and scan doctor.  There are some impressions of text improved, now black in a very pale blue gray, which I think is better than nothing at all.

  I read on the forum that it is a fairly frequent problem and am surprised that there is no solution provided by HP.  I understand that if you do not often print it can be some dried up ink cluttering up the printhead.  I print on a regular basis and replace my cartridges regularly.

  About 2 years ago, this happened with my previous HP printer.  I replaced it with this one.  I arrived at the end of the life cycle of the printer a HP?  If so, I'm probably not inclined to get another HP, although I have always appreciated the help of HP printers.

  Does anyone know a solution to this problem?

  Hi again,

  It's good to hear that you use genuine HP cartridges. HP does not guarantee the reloaded cartridges or HP. And that brings me to this:

  If a black cartridge ran last night, and you replace it. Do you have any questions before or after you have replaced the cartridge (or both)?

  From the sounds of it, you are having problems with a new cartridge. If this is the case, you should check the warranty status. If it's a cartridge defective out of the box, it should be under warranty. To check the warranty on your ink supplies, go to hp.com/go/learnaboutsupplies , select your country/region, and then review the information of limited warranty for your supplies.

  I hope that helps!

• DeskJet 3522 does no black ink print

  I got a new DeskJet 3522 for just a few months, when I tried to print a PDF file yesterday, black ink started to print very, very faintly, and then completely disappeared.  I guess I was out of ink, so I bought a new HP black cartridge.  When changing the cartridge, the ink level showed a black ink left, but in any case, I changed the cartridge.  The new cartridge does not print also.  He still has a lot of ink in the color cartridges and it shows a totally black cartridge.  Displays the level of the cartridge are generally accurate?  Have I not a new cartridge defective?  What is the problem?  Thank you.

  Hi, such that the printer is still under warranty I would definitely say contact you HP support by phone you may need a replacement printer. Can you please let me know how you go?

  Thanks, Ciara

• HP deskjet 3520: black ink does not print

  My HP deskjet printer that is 2 months warranty, that I recently bought a new HP cartridges for now will not print black (other colors are all very well).
  If have spent hours and hours trying to solve this problem, following all the advice on this forum - believe me, I tried to clean the vent system, cleaning of the print head. The really frustrating thing I had just bought new ink for the machine $60 thrown and now my printer does not print. I'm out $60 and I need to buy a new machine very frustrating and this machine is used very little only occasionally to print some checks and a few emails.

  I promise you that this HP will not be my next choice.

• All-in-one Deskjet F3335 allows to print "black only" on the profile of a user, no other

  Hello

  I have an annoying problem with my all-in-one Deskjet F3335.  I print a lot of documents on my printer.  Rarely do I need to print anything in color.

  Since the acquisition of a computer running Windows 7 (x 64), I was not able to print in "grayscale: black cartridge only" on my profile; the only option is 'high quality '. (see image below)  I thought it was a systemic problem until printining something user profile on my husband.  His profile will allow for me to select "black cartridge only."
  

  I tried to uninstall and reinstall the software and updates. This did not help.

  Hoping someone out there might have a suggestion for me on how to solve this problem (and stop wasting my color ink)! Thank you

  As I understand it, you can change the printer to print in only black and white on a profile, but not on the other on the same computer. Is this correct?

  This type of question usually depends on the permissions available on each profile. I would hazard a guess that your husband is a Director or that there privleges more than your own profile. I check to make sure that your account is set up as an administrator first.

  Secondly, I would also check the 'Advanced' tab, that sometimes you can change the settings for printing color black and white or grayscale.

  Let me know!

• Printer Test page: Top a thumb print black, fading to printing for the orange rest

  Original title: Printer Test Page

  Top of page one prints black, fading orange print for the rest. Print content is readable and accurate.

  Rohit Nagpal: thank you.

  The printer is HP Deskjet 2050 J501.

  I changed from 81/2 X 11 to 4 x 6 photos - the first digital photo (B & W) was normal (all black). The second printing has been described, first black inches, then orange rest. I adjusted the printer to 81/2 x 11, the first impression has been described. I asked for assistance.

  I read your message and proceeded to print a test B & W 8 x 11 page. It was OK! The second test page is OK too.

  I don't know what I did to solve the problem, except that the computer was shut down for two days. Thank you again for your help.           George Hutson

  Third page OK! I'm going to print your first page, I have to these references.

• DeskJet 2132: Do not print with the new cartridge

  I bought this printer only about a month. I've exhausted the original black ink cartridge, so I bought a new one (genuine HP 63XL).

  I installed the new cartridge and the alignment page is printed, but only the parts of printing color, no black. I tried to print a test page, once again, not black. The ink level software shows that the new cartridge is full.

  I tried to put back the cartridge several times and made sure the protective film is removed completelu.

  I tried to remove the new cartridge to print mode single cartridge. The test page comes out fine; but, when I try to print a document in this way, the printer WILL NOT PRINT AT ALL. There is a little red light next to the black point near the power button.

  Hi @jackiew2x2,

  Welcome to the HP Forums!

  I noticed that your HP Deskjet 3510 will not print and the computer says that the ink cartridges are missing. I'm happy to help you with this printing problem!

  Please have a look through this general printing guide, your HP printer print jobs are stuck in the print queue.

  Also, I'd take a glance through this guide, a "cartridge problem," "Ink cartridge failed", not "compatible ink cartridges", or "Cartridge missing or damaged" Error Message is displayed on the control panel.

  Hope one of these guides to help and have a great day!

• HP DESKJET INK ADVANTAGE 1515: To connect the HP DESKJET INK ADVANTAGE 1515 printer device to multiple computers.

  Mr President, I have HP DESKJET INK ADVANTAGE 1515 PRINTER I want to connect to my two computers with all FIRST Windows XP and the second having Windows 7 operating systems. Kindly help me to do this in detail...  THANKS IN ADVANCE

  What's your plan for the connection?   It is a USB printer only, no network connection.  You can connect to a computer and then enable Microsoft File and print sharing on both computers.   Or if your router has a USB port that supports printers CAN operate when connected there.

  Those are your options.
