• 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.

• Photosmart 6520 does not print text in black.

  Photosmat 6520 will not print in black.  Cleaned up the wind of the cartridge and ran maintenance twice.  Test page, all the colors OK and text was correctly printed in black.  However, in attempts to print the text later, printer would not print in black.

  Almost enough money has been spent for the ink to try to correct the problem, as well as the cost of travel for the purchase of new cartridges, to pay for a new printer.  Therefore, I decided to remove the printer.  I was never as happy with it anyway.  I din't print a lot, but when I print, more ink is used in the maintenance process for the printed book.  Once again, you guys have been great, and I really appreciate your efforts to help me with the problem.

• Photosmart 6520 does not print wireless

  Hello
  Previously, the printer was very good in all aspects, including wireless printing. But now it will not print from an iPad iOS 8 or a computer laptop windows 8. It printed before the iPad even on. Same iOS software 8 - so I can confirm it wasn't the iOS update 8 that caused the problem. The same goes for the laptop - it long before print with it on the same operating system. On the iPad, it is not saved as an AirPrint printer and the laptop, he says he is "offline." I think the problem is, therefore, with the printer - if she says it is online and connected to our home WiFi (same as the iPad and the laptop is connected to) or iPad, or laptop can connect or register that it's there.
  You can only print wirelessly with the printer (without option of thread) so I had to do the tedious job of printing with Direct wireless. When I do this it's fine, but it takes a while and I could instead just print over WiFi at home.
  Any suggestions? I have already disconnected the printer and WiFi and then reconnected (set the password to new etc).
  Very grateful for any help. -Louisa

  Hello LouisaD,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

  I understand that recently you have not been able to print to the Photosmart 6520 an iPad or computer in Windows 8, but you can connect to wireless Direct the printer and print. I also agree that a problem is not present on the iPad or computer, but since it can print with direct wireless connection, I do not have a problem with the printer either.

  I linked these two documents: "Printer is off-line" Message appears on the computer and the printer will not print: Windows 8 & Printing Over a Wireless Network with AirPrint FAQ Apple (what happens if you see a "No AirPrint Printers Found" message on my device Apple?), because they deal with the basics and help determine if the network is originally a block.

  Let me know the results in detail the best possible, and we will discuss later in this if the problem is not resolved.

  See you soon,.

• Photosmart 6520: Photosmart 6520 does not print the new colors yellow, magenta and cyan

  I installed new cartridges 364 original color and now the printer prints everything in black and white only.

  Before replacing the cartridges I printed black and white stuff (because the cartridges were low).

  I have installed new drivers, it off for a minute, restarted.
  I cleaned up and align the cartridges.

  White are not dry, as I tested al with tissue.

  All of this happened less than a month after the expiration of the warranty.

  In properties, grayscale printing is turned off.

  What could be the problem?

  Well - he started working by itself after some 5 to 6 hours. All tests and diagnoses before that said nothing wrong, but the colors were simply not print at all. Then, as this, the print quality diagnostics showed color.

  In http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03318187 step 2 tips you allow auto maintenance to complete. I suggest now just let it meditate and heal itself and do not even try the other troubleshooting steps discount. However, the few hours suggested could be more than a little. I've almost exhausted my black cartridge when running all the other tests and diagnostics, and now I'm waiting for a new... Once I get it, I'll put it in, and then let the sit of the printer for 4 to 6 hours just to settle. I hope that's enough. And then, finally, I might be able to print my document.

  Would be nice, if this problem was mentioned in the cartridge installation instructions.

• Photosmart 6520 does not print the new black ink cartridge

  My new black ink no longer works on the printer.  This seems to be a problem throughout all of the printers HP no matter what model.  Did someone with similar problems had success getting their black to print despite all recommendations of manufacturing without success?  I have my printer just over a year.  I think it's ridiculous that a product falls down that quickly for money which is devoted to this topic.  I called HP for technical support and after doing all the things, he recommended that he told me that my printer is broken... is no longer under warranty... but he will sell me gladly one handed to nine for more than the cost I would pay if I bought it new from Amazon.  I trust is no longer the product... Why would I want one handed to nine?  Just looking for more tips out there who may have worked for others, before going out and buying an Epson.

  Had same problem, went out and bought new cartridges ink and all but worked black, what to do, throw it in the trash? or have a go at fixing, because I had just spent more than $90 on new cartridges, I thought I'd be there is attachment.

  To cut a long story short, that I managed to detach, scratching the dining room in the process, wife not impressed! puledl the ink outside, white liquor dispenser put spray gave him a good squirt, put back together, it now works like a new! Yay! Geez I'm so smart.

• Printers HP Photosmart 6520: Photosmart HP 6520 does not print black

  When I print from my Dell Inspiron One 2330 (wireless), the black ink does not work.  I ran 10 Windows troubleshooting link on your site and it did not help.  I printed a "quality report" directly from the printer and the black letterng was very good.  I installed the new (564XL) black ink but it did not help.  Several weeks ago, I installed Windows 10 and until this week, everything was fine.  My printer is configured as a default network printer.  I'm having the same problem when I print from my iPhone 5 and iPad.

  My problem turned out to be a hardware problem - bought a new printer.

• Photosmart 6520 does not print in black.

  All Word documents print very light blue only. Brand new HP black cartridge poster complete. I tried all the solutions I could find for this problem and none doesn't seem to work. The diagnosis of print quality shows all the colors very well except for black. Just a box blank and white. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

• Photosmart HP 6520: HP Photosmart 6520 does not print

  Hoping someone can help me - my printer stopped printing random recently. I checked and the ink cartridges are fully and correctly installed, there is paper in the tray and it is connected to the network. I printed a test report, so I know he can print something.

  The problem is when I print a document, it is said that it has printed, but nothing has changed. It is not a network problem, my laptop, including the printer. I'm really at a loss on what is the question.

  Thank you!

  The troubleshooting in the here document steps can help solve your Photosmart 6520 cartridge errors.  Try the procedures in two to four solutions.

  If you cannot get the cartridges to work I would suggest that you contact the vendor for a replacement or a refund.  The quality of third-party cartridges varies considerably, but is generally low. , See the study here for more information.

• Photosmart 6520 does not print

  I have a Photosmart 6520 printer that gives me an error message when I try to print something from online my HP chromebook. This problem started a few weeks ago, before that time, I was able to print. The error message I get on google cloud print Web site is: "error in the external employment service". I was just on the phone with HP tech support and they could not solve the problem. Anyone here know how to fix it?

  Hello bassplayinlady,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

  I understand that when you try to print via Google Cloud Print to the Photosmart 6520, you get an error "error in the external employment service". When you talked with HP Technical Support, troubleshooting steps did make?

  Are you able to print from the printer by any means, a copy, post, etc.? To print a self-test; Press Setup (wrench to the right of the screen of the printer) > tools > Printer Status Report.

  Try printing via ePrint and let me know if it works as well.

  Getting started with HP ePrint Mobile Apps<>

  Can't wait to hear back on your part.

• Photosmart 6520 does not print after upgrading the firmware on the router.

  I have problems with my router and a remote technician for Verizon FIOS updated firmware, solve my problem of the internet, but now my printer is not working.  When I try to print from my macbook pro (OSX Lion 10.7.5) it is said that the printer is idle.  When I try to print from my ipod and the iphone, it is said that it prints, but then nothing happens.

  I was able to set up direct wireless to print, but I don't want to go into the settings and change networks whenever I need to print.

  I tried to turn off the router unplug the printer and turn it back on.

  I checked to make sure that the WEP code and network name are correct.

  What can I do else?

  I appreciate really all the efforts that you and other posters are on this issue, but I feel that I will not find a solution.  Maybe a new router?

  It is a long shot. But since we are short of ideas, please try to change the configuration of the router from WEP to WPA2 and try again to establish the connection. Because WEP is very old standard, some routers may have a few inherited defects that were never resolved.

  Well... This opens a huge can of worms, it leads eventually to a solution.  I changed the security settings and when I presented to them, 'wait while we apply the settings' screen appeared and never went away.  The timer kept spinning and this went on for over an hour.  Neither the old or new passwords worked and I completely lost my internet connection.  I called Verizon and ordered a new router and said the technician on the line of my being stuck in limbo. After a few basic tests (unplug and pluggng again) she transferred me to someone in the advanced group.  To make a long story short, he traced the fault not the router, but the optical network outside my home box.  It reset, reset the router (losing the new security settings and everything else) but my internet is back, and fortunately, so is my printer.  I'll live with that until the arrival of my new router state-of-the-art.

  Thanks for the suggestion, it was a frustrating experience, it finally lead me to a printer to work! I doubt that I would come to this point another way.

• Photosmart 6520 does not print to the main tray

  I'm trying to print a PDF file which is the letter format.  The printer says its printing on the main tray preference, yet the printer continues to try to print by using the photo tray.  How can I get it to print on the main tray?

  Hey @flowerchild22,

  Thanks for getting back to me on that.

  It is this problem with the main tray only with the 1 PDF A4 format you are trying to print. In other words, all other programs print correctly?

  What program you print PDFs through?

  If you use Adobe, try to go to:

  1. Click on file
  2. Click on print
  3. Click on advanced
  4. Choose 'print picture '.

  Please let me know if it's just a single PDF file or if it is the case with other PDF files and other programs. Good luck!

• My 6520 6510 printers will not print black ink

  Replace a black cartridge in my Photosmart 6510 printer and it wouldn't work.  Check all measurements in the help guide.  Still does not work.  We also had a Photosmart 6520 in the storage of a recent move, so tried.  Using the same cartridges, black ink will still not print.

  Something to do to get this working?

  I would advise giving HP a telephone support call about this, as you may need a replacement. Can you please let us know how you get on? Thanks, Ciara
