  Hi abruce,.

  Usually, it is a result of dried/clogged ink nozzles in the printer or the print head.

  According to some other users on the forums, you can remove the print head (use this guide if you are unsure how: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01944580)

  Make sure the cartridges are removed from the print head

  Dive head in hot water, nozzles downwards. (about 1 in. of water) and leave any residue of ink to flow. This process should take about 15 minutes. Ensure that the print head is completely dried out and there is no moisture in the electrical contacts or the rest of the part.

  I hope this helps!

• Re: C510 black eStation ink cartridge work do not

  Frustrated REEEEEALLY. After screwing around all day trying to get stuff printed I sit tonight with a new black ink cartridge and it's either not all black printing or it is a pale gray. All other cartridges work. Come here, when I click on links to every possible solution nothing opens for me. Before anyone asks, this printer is about 2 or 3 years, but had BARELY BARELY BARELY served. It is connected to an HP computer that is only a few years old with exceptionally light use also. I installed the updates that were available. He printed some photos fine this am, but I'm trying to print documents has put me in such a rage today I had better just go to bed. Warranty is out, so much for spending money on a printer expensive in the hope that it would last. Hope this will be a quick solution. It's really annoying to keep buying new printers all the few years despite them get such use of the lamp

• Re-install the partially used HP ink cartridges in printer

  Ask a question that I can't find an answer.
  I removed all the ink cartridges 4 of our printer HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless last month because we bought a new printer.  There is still a significant amount of ink remaining in three cartridges, but they don't fit our new HP printer, so I sealed the carefully with adhesive tape on the distributors of ink and in Ziploc bags.  Can I now reinstall the HP cartridges partially used the printer from my father, who is the identical 8500 model, or I could create a problem any?  My husband warned that relocation could introduce air bubbles?  It only a month since they were out and sealed again.  Please notify.

  DianneSsalvation,

  You can certainly install these, previously used cartridges in your printer of fathers.

  Here is a document that discusses storage open cartridges and print heads. Nozzles crust if supplies are not kept in air-tight containers properly moistened and ink may wick of nozzles if anything in contact with them. If the cartridges or one of the cartridges does not work, it could be because it has dried up.

  I hope that answers your question. Thanks for joining the HP Forums.

• Suddenly and without reason: Incompatible black ink cartridge Message

  Suddenly and without apparent reason, I get a message (on my HP Officejet printer 4500 G510) telling me that my black cartridge is not compatible.  I removed the cartridge and cleaned as well as contacts in which he welcomed inside my computer, have disconnected and reconnected my printer (in an attmpe of "reset" it) and I continue to have the same message with a flashing red exclamation mark on my screen!  Uugh!  Please advise and thank you!

  Godsabode,

  Thanks for trying my recommendation, I'm happy are you upward and printing! I wouldn't say that HP is crack down on the reloaded cartridges that you can use them in your printer, but HP does not guarantee the performance or quality of the reloaded cartridges.

  To get a better understanding of take a look here: I can refill the ink in my HP ink cartridge?

  You can also check out some of the tests performed by HP: HP vs done cartridges

  Still, I recommend that you use genuine HP cartridges, if you are still having problems with the cartridges don't forget that they also have a guarantee.

  I hope this helps!

• HP ENVY 4500: Ink cartridges HP Instant

  I just bought a map of the HP Instank ink. I'm about to use the first black cartridge, but I still have another cartridge new color I need to use. I start support fully if I use only one cartridge?

  Hey @EMJ-00.

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

  I understand that you have some questions about the instant the ink program. I can help you with that.

  When you print, the system determines if an instant ink page is printed according to it there a moment cartridge in the printer. If you insert the black cartridge, your only color pages into account. My suggestion is to insert two instant ink cartridges and save the color cartridge for emergencies.

• Black ink cartridge will not print

  Putting in a new black ink cartridge the printer says it's there and full of new ink but when printing it don't use it. It happened the last time that I put in the black cartridge and I managed to do it finally work but don't remember what I did. Why is this happening?

  With printing black ink is not like that, there are only a few things you can try, and it looks like you did most of them. If the steps described in the following paper the link did not help, then you might make a physical print head cleaning. Bob_Headrick gave the steps to do this in the post below. If none of this does not work, you can either replace the printhead by contacting the support of HP, or you will need to replace the printer. If you are still in warranty, HP can replace the printer without cost to you. I'll link the information to get in touch with them below. The link takes you to a form to fill out. Once you fill it and she is treated, it will give you the printers warranty information, a file number and the phone number to call.

• Problem - has ink cartridge but no printing appears on the paper

  I have a printer of HP Deskjet 4200 all-in-one with a relatively new ink cartridge.  The printer prints white - nothing appears on my paper.  The last time I used the printer (with the same cartridges) was four months ago, and he was fine.  To my knowledge, nothing has changed (parameters, etc.).  I can't figure out how to get the printer to print anything.  I could go out and buy new cartridges, but ones I have is barely used, although only around the age of 6 months.  And the problem seems to be both color and black print (printer has two cartridges) - so I made me think that it would not be a cartridge problem.  Any suggestions on what I might try?  Thank you.

  It is possible that the print heads have become clogged due to sitting for so long unused.  Try to run the three cycles of cleaning of the Toolbox.  If it does not recover the printhead, then place 1 "of very hot water in a cup and watch the nozzles of cartridge in hot water for about five minutes.  When it comes gently dry the printhead on a wet cloth dry contacts of the cartridge, then reinstall the cartridges in the printer, and try another cleaning cycle.

• do I have to buy color ink cartridges? HP Officejet Pro 8600 more Windows XP

  HP Officejet Pro 8600 more

  Windows XP

  The printer will not print anything (including black and white which is my default setting), at least that I have installed a new yellow ink cartridge.  He says that the cartridge is exhausted and must be replaced before printing.    I have black and white printing color cartridges? Is there a solution? Thank you very much.

  DavidDavid salvation,

  Yes, you will need to replace the yellow cartridge to continue printing. Here's a good explanation of the design of the print mechanism, and what is needed to keep them in good working condition. Your printer is user replaceable print head. With this printer's ink lines that need to be filled in ink in this way that the print head should not be clogged jets in turn cause poor print quality problems.

  Written by Bob_Headrick on the wire note: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Printing-Questions/Officejet-8500-won-t-print-Black-ink-only-if-other-colors-are/m-p/1706581#M67899

  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 of 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.

  When you buy your next printer (from HP or from another manufacturer) be sure that you understand what is the type of printer and choose one that fits your needs.
