HP 6500 E709A does not print black

My model HP Officejet 6500 E709A old two year has stopped printing black ink. I figured it was because of the black cartridge down on ink because the print is very low. So I put in a new jumbo size 920 black inks. Now, I get nothing. I tried a lot of stuff mentioned on these long threads from 15 to 46 page on the site of HP aid without result. These tips included restart while holding the 3 and the sign # etc. (this worked last year and corrected the problem).

I took all the cartridges and inspected the transport. The grid in stainless steel under the black ink is spotless and shiny silver, so I think no obstruction is a problem. Others have a bit of their visible residual color so it leads me to believe that no ink draw us out of the black cartridge.

I deleted all my HP programs and reloaded them. The problem persists. Why put in a new cartridge would kill the machine?

One thing I am is sucking the remaining ink in the other colors making alignments and all that. Add to that, a colossal waste of time.

Oh yes, the plastic strip is off the air intake.

Any helpful ideas?

In all honesty to HP and help others unnecessarily, which would have to buy another printer, I should disclose that I found a viable solution to this maddening problem of black ink print do not. In the last month, I left this problem while I checked around a new printer. I found that practically all non commercial printers (homeowner grade) have some deficit or question, then I tried one last time to fix this and succeeded.

My first attempt in rinsing / soaking/rinsing of the print head for 15 minutes in a solution of water and wipe carefully failed.

Others have soaked the print head in a solution of lukewarm water with a bit of added dishwasher detergent. I tried this by placing the print head in a bowl of soup with a little more than an inch of hot water and change the water several times over a period of 24 hours. I then rinsed/soaked in hot water plain to ensure that no soapy residue remained the printhead.

Later, I took, shook off the remaining water and then dried everything that I could with a paper towel, especially the rear electrical contact area.  However, I do not dry a period extended time and voluntarily left the heads of ink still wet/wet internally (gray color ink screens). This plan did not work, I was going to throw the printer anyway so there was little to lose if it has triggered and shorted.

But it didn't worked and continued to do so for several days. If this success was due to a prolonged soaking, SOAP, or return the printhead running before tiny remaining bits of black ink can dry and redurcir is uncertain. I think that it is a viable solution for those with no possibility of better.

  • HP 6500 E709a do not print

    HP 6500 E709a will not print after the blackout. Performed all troubleshooting solutions. Notice to the right of the symbol of black ink on the screen is missing. I work with Mac OS X v. 10.6.8. Allowed me to print the e-mail but not Excel or Word doc.

    I decided to buy a new printer, but thanks anyway.

  • DeskJet F4480: full black print cartridge still does not print black. Colors OK.

    What the title says. All of a sudden my Deskjet F4480 does not print black. All cartridges are almost nine (changed recently, bought at Staples). Colour printing is OK. Print a page with black text and results in only the images printing color images. I only went through all the steps of cleaning cartridge several times, no difference. There is no error message, just black not appear do not at all.

    And... Here is the solution.

    Funny how I found an explanation of the problem and how to fix it on a different printer manufacturer's Web site, but not on HP... But I digress.

    The black cartridge has been blocked. The way of difficulty is:

    1. remove the faulty cartridge from the printer.

    2. place a small amount of boiling water in a cup (about 1/4 in.) and dunk of the print head (the part where the ink comes out) in warm water for a minute. Do not immerse the entire cartridge in hot water, just the print head.

    3 take it out, pat against a paper towel, observe the model ink left in the cartridge on the towel. If too little / interrupted, dunk again in hot water for another minute, pat again. You want to get an unbroken line of ink through the length of the print head. Repeat as needed (I did 4 times total).

    4 cartridge Pat dry everywhere, put it back in the printer, run cleaning cycles (1 - 2).

    5. If still not good fixed, take out the cartridge and repeat 2 (I had to do it again).

    You will lose little ink, cartridge of bad and good a well (you can not run cycles with only 1 cleaning cartridge), but at least you won't have to throw a nearly full cartridge.

  • HP 3520 while a printer does not print black after changing ink and cleaning head

    My 3520 printer all-in-one will not print black after cleaning print head and replacement of black ink. the printer is a little older than a year. All printing inks.

    Hi handytim1,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I see that you are facing some print quality problems on your HP Deskjet 3520, you cleaned the printhead and replace the cartridge without success.

    I would like to continue you here: printer does not print black ink or color of ink or prints blank Pages, I understand, you may have made some of these steps already but I need you to complete all the steps in order to solve the problem of the missing black, you encounter.

    Please note: there are three stages of print head cleaning. Three steps if necessary. If the print head is badly clogged, it may require another round of cleaning. If so, wait 30 minutes after the last step of cleaning (third) to start the first stage of the cleanup process.

    Let me know the results, I'll watch for your reply.

    Thank you

  • hp3520 does not print black

    My printer does not print black. I look and notice that it does not indicate that it stays black in the cartridge. Still, I went and got a new black ink cartridge and it printed the first page in black, but then stop again to print in black. Other colors on paper, but not black.

    Hi cheepazoid,

    I would start by checking all ink and cartridges of weak levels.  I'm a link the user guide for your printer which also contains troubleshooting information.  Click here  I suggest that you click on Maintenance in the guide and follow the steps to manually clean the ink cartridges and options to automatically clean the cartridges up to 3 times.

    Let me know how it goes.

    Good luck!

  • My HP 6500 E709A will not print in black.

    My HP Officejet 6500 E709A Series does not print in black. I have put in a new cartridge, made all of the recommended tests, even reset when you unplug the unit for 20 seconds then hold # and 3 and plug it in but it didn't work. Help!

  • OfficeJet 6500 has windows 7 Pro, does not print black

    Black is not printing, the colors are OK.    Changed the black cartridge for a new a (genuine HP!), no change.   Checked inserted cartridge etc OK.

    Tried to open the screen of the wizard to do the alignment, cleans the heads but had the same problem mentioned on another post, the assistant is beyond.

    Tried the update of the software 710z, but does not connect via USB.     I know that the cable is OK and printer, Windows gave the found new software message.

    Went to the HPPIW. EXE installation method, it is OK, but returned to 710f version.   Not cleaned heads and alignment no impression always on black background.     Tried the diagnosis HPPSdr who told me there is a problem of driver incompatibility.    Deleted the entry of control panel of configuration/printers, uninstalled, rebooted and reinstalled, same problem.

    In short, impossible to get 710z to connect via USB.   710f tells me that I have a driver incompatibility.  And does not print the problem original, black.

    In my view, that covers, all more than welcome advice, this machine is in a store of cats protection Chrity and we desperately need it works again!

    Thanks for the advice, given that the machine is under warranty, contact HP and were sent to a replacement machine which works AOK.

  • HP ENVY 4504: HP ENVY 4504 does not print black ink even with full cartridge

    Used by my office printer is not printing black ink. It does not, it is out of black ink, but anything on a page I print requiring black ink is absent. I checked the cartridge to see if she had missed and the printer was not to tell me, but she didn't. I also tried to put in a new black ink cartridge, but it wouldn't print black to help anyone.

    There is no problem with color printing and the problem started only today. The black cartridge is certainly compatible with this printer as it had been good working with it so far.

    We bought this printer less than a year ago now.

    Until outside to change the cartridges I also turned the printer off and on again, but neither helped.

    I would appreciate greatly any assistance that we currently only this one printer at the office and we rely on it for a lot of work.

    Thank you very much.

    Ink cartridge information after doing all the recommendations of HP:

    Once you check the vents turn the cartridge and check the underside near the opening of the ink.  They can be of four plastic tabs near the opening are resurrected.  Make sure that the raised tabs are removed and made flush with the body of the cell.  This will cause the cartridge do not do sit properly in all of the print head and cause air that are expected.  This will affect especially the black ink cartridge.

    In particular, let us know if you find the above to be true.

  • PHOTOSMART HP 6520 does not print black. And the ink levels estimated for the other inks are not correct.

    Hi, I bought my photosmart Hp 6520 year last, October. But it is no more print black after replacing ink twice. I tried to clean the print head with water and tried "clean print head" in tools, does not solve the problem...

    What is wired is that I bought 4 new 564 inks the hp of the target 2 days ago, printed only less than 10 pages to see if the problem is resolved. Then my printer told me that the cartridge is too low... Is this possible?

    It makes me crazy now... What is even worse, I used a tool to detect my printer, and he said that is no longer under warranty... But he was only 9 months... How can I solve this problem? Thank you.

    The document here can help solve the black does not print on your Photosmart 6520.  Be sure to check the vents, as on the three solution.

    If this does not resolve the issue I suggest you call HP (1-800-HPINVENt to the United States, see here for details by the way).  The warranty online tool is an estimate, they will have a process of updated the status of the guarantee if necessary.
