• HP4480: will not print in black

  I have recently upgraded to the version of windows in 10 home edition 1511.  I have a HP4480 that is compatible with windows 10.  It is updated with the correct drivers.

  My printer will be printed in black and white if I copy a document on the printer, HOWEVER it will not print in black and white if I print a document on my laptop or from a Web page.  I'm also using Microsoft Edge.

  I run Scan Doctor, clean my print heads, made sure everything is aligned, but can not determine why I can not print in black and white the computer laptop but can from the printer.

  The diagnostic message only I received is "peripheral composite USB does not work with USB 3.0' I have no idea what this means and don't think that I have the choice for the ports on my Inspiron 15R laptop 5520.»

  I've also posted on the Microsoft forums but really need to get the printer works with the operating system and cannot afford to buy a new printer just because I upgraded.

  Any help is appreciated.

  Thank you.

  I solved the problem.  For some reason, my real print HP 60 cartridge was the question.   Almost empty, I left forward without problem.  Once I replaced the cartridge, all now print correctly in black and white.

• Photosmart HP 5510 - will not print using black ink

  I have problems with my HP Photosmart 5510 all-in-One printer, because it will not print in black. All cartridges are brand new and are genuine HP cartridges. I've never used anything other than HP cartridges, and I believe that I have would be considered a very light printer user.

  I use a HP Pavilion Desktop PC (Vista Home Premium) connected to the printer via a USB cable.

  I have to 'reset' the printer (power cable removed for 20 seconds), I cleaned the print heads and tried to re-alignment of the printer.

  I ran HP print and Scan diagnostics and do the message "Everything out OK with your product." I then print a test page which "fails", that there is no black ink in use. The diagnosis confirms that the ink levels are all OK and that my printer uses HP authentic and than Normal inks or better quality is selected.

  The printer is a little over a year old and as mentioned has had very light use.

  There is no error - every reason to believe that everything is OK.

  I wish I had a solution to this problem.

  As by chance my previous printer a HP Photosmart 3210 all-in-One failed in a similar way, although in this case, the black was fine, it was impossible to print colors correctly. Once the printer was just out of warranty.

  Curiously enough and fortunately like few others on the forum a few days after the installation of the new cartridge, it seems to work perfectly fine again.  any ideas as to why this happens?

• 6500 all in One - will not print in black, no error message

  Twice now, I sent a cartridge black staple, thinking that there was something wrong with it because the printer would print fine for the first copies of 20-40, then stops.  When it happened a third time, I started thinking maybe this isn't the ink cartridges.  Just the printer does not print in black.  Can I change the font color of blue and all is well.  When I try to print something from black, the printer ACTS like it was printing but nothing comes up except the color elements.  The diagnostics show no problem, that the printer has no error message, even shows the full ink cartridge (which is)... but it just will not print in black.

  Try to soak the printhead as described in this post.

• HP 6500 709n printer will not print in black.

  Cartridges have been replaced and cleaned twice printer heads.  still will not print in black.

  Had the same problem with the same printer. I had to get out of ink cartridges and cleaning the printhead tray manually. If you search online you will find the instructions step by step on how to remove the print head Assembly. First, I tried to clean by soaking in hot water for several minutes. It has not helped, although others said it worked for them. Then I used alcohol to friction on the screen black printhead. Also, I soaked a mixture diluted CLR (calcium, lime, rust) the whole print head and used a swap of cue tip to gently clean the print heads... I rinsed off the coast of all very well in water and carefully dried. I used compressed air to a box to blow the print heads and help in the dry. I reinstalled the Assembly and the ink cartridges and the black ink was working. I was disappointed that none of this information is actually detailed by HP for this printer troubleshooting. Good luck. You will need to repeat the process several times, as I did.

• New Photosmart 5520 will not print in black

  I have a new HP Photosmart 5520 printer all-in-one.  Black ink ran out so I replaced it with a previously used ink cartridge which is of the same type # 564 but a XL version.  This cartridge has been barely used.  Now, I just can't get anything to print in black.  It will print in color, but not black.  I tried to turn off the printer.  I put the cartridge in my printer and it worked fine.  What should I do?

• Re: HP Photosmart 5510 - will not print using black ink

  I received a WARNING ink level so I went out and bought new cartridges. When I put the new in, black will not print.

  I followed all the instructions on my printer, all the instructions of the hp print & Scan Doctor and went out to buy a new black cartridge in the second.

  tracking of document Hp: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03425035

  Still no black printing.

  I cleaned the print heads.

  So I have three cartridges of "True HP", two of them nine and no black print.

  Are there any other instructions that can be followed to fix my printer? It is more under warranty and there is no way I'm paying for a repair on a printer who leave work when installing a new cartridge.

  I'll me private message you on this (check in the envelope at the top right)

• 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!

  Unfortunately, all do not have to be fixed, because the black print head w as worn, so I had to get a new one. At least they are cheaper now!

  Hello bcgoodwrench,

  I don't see you mention the presence of 'BLACK'.

  
  If there was no black printing, then I would say you call the HP Technical Support for assistance.

  If you are in the United States, the toll free # is 1-800-474-6836 .

  If you are not in US , then log on to www.hp.com , bottom left there is a world map icon, click it, and then select the region that you belong to, which would then provide the support options for you for this region.

  Kind regards

• HP Photosmart 7520 will not print black.

  Hello... I'm new here.

  I have a 7520 HP which was a gem and has not had a single problem. Today I went to print a document in black and white and printed one side of the page while fading to white on the other side.

  I checked my ink counter and it shows more than 1/2. I tried printing again and he was almost totally faded on one half of the page and the rest was empty. It seems that just ran in the ink cartridge. I went to settings, tools, the Print Quality Report.  Printed perfectly... except that the block that was supposed to be BLACK is white.

  I installed a new ink cartridge... always a blank page. I checked the ink counter and it indicated full. I ran a report of print quality and and everything was fine... except for the BLACK BLOCK... it came out white again. All the letters printed in black on the report and were of excellent quality. I aligned the printer and received a message that says: alignment failed. Cartridges are defined for quality parameters.

  I unplugged the printer, waited a few minutes and plugged back in. Power on and I tried to print again. Same results... blank page. Aligned the printer again... same thing... Alignment failed.

  Someone at - it ideas? My printer is a little over a year old and is not widely used. I changed the black cartridge twice since I bought the new printer and it was always half full according to the meter.

  Thanks in advance.

  EDIT * I put a new Printhead and it works perfectly. I would like to emphasize that this printer was four... that's 4 weeks out of warranty!  I checked the number of pages... 692 pages. I'm a little disappointed on this subject, but I like the printer... so... I sucked it upward.

• Photosmart 7520 will not print on color construction paper.

  My Photosmart 7520 print text on color construction paper.  It feeds through the status bar, but does not print.

  Hey @JanMO,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!
  
  If you have a 7520 Photosmart all-in-one that doesn't seem to not want to print on color construction paper? Because the product is to feed the paper in the paper tray but isn't actually put ink on the page is does not seem to be a problem with the book itself and not filling not the management of specifications that your printer takes in charge for a type of paper.

  According to the specifications of 7520 Photosmart it can handle:

  • Types of media supported: Paper (brochure, inkjet, ordinary), photo paper, envelopes, labels, cards (greeting), transparent
  • Supported media formats: Letter, legal, 4 x 6, 5 x 7 in., 8 x 10, no. 10 envelopes
  • Recommended weight: 16-80 lbs.

  Plug Photosmart e-all-in-one printer 7520

  You know the exact weight of the construction paper?

  Your printer will print on other media, such as plain white paper or photo paper glossy with no problems?

  You could try to browse the next document in troubleshooting print quality, but please note that if your paper is not listed in the support media types, sizes or requirements of weight that you can do more harm to your printer.

  The problems of print quality for the e-all-in-one printer series HP Photosmart 7520

  Please let me know what you find on your construction paper specifications and if none of these steps helped to solve your problem. Good luck!

• HP Officejet 6500 will not print in black

  I noticed that my black ink started streak so I replaced the black cartridge, cleaned the print heads and completed an alignment page.  All colors have shown up on the test, except black pages, and black characters who present themselves were incomplete and striated.  I tried to print in black and white, and the pages shoot out of the empty printer.  I've exhausted all failures on HP and had no luck.  Any ideas on what I can try?

  There are 5 different versions of the Officejet 6500. I went with a basic (E710a) model to provide a quality troubleshooting bad print document. This link will give you some troubleshooting steps to try to solve the problem that it lists some you mentioned it but there are only listed steps that were not included in the above post.

  If still the problem, I'd do a manual cleaning the contacts on the print head and on the cartridges to ensure this build up is not a problem. Pages 117-121 of the user manual to describe the process of print head cleaning. Page 234 in the manual gives instructions to clean the contacts on the cartridges too. I hope this helps
