• HP3209a not printing black and white enamel but will display the web page

  I'm on Mac OSX10.8.  My HP Photosmart 3209 has suddenly stopped printing yesterday and had a pop up that says I got printhead problems.  I spent two hours on the phone this morning with two so-called experts feel, the first who said that the problem was with my iMac (he couldn't find it) and the second who said it was a problem with the printer (he couldn't find it).  The printer is connected to an iMac by USB cable.  It will not print e-mail or most of the pages of black and white but now curiously print a web page. BTW, I put new ink in it and did not help anything, and Printhead Cleaner ran about two dozen times.  I try to run an alignment but the page it prints which is for most of the blocks of color blue on half a page is not recognizable on the scanner when I try to run the alignment.

  I think that you always print head problems.  Go to System Preferences > print & Scan.  Click on your printer, click Options & supplies.

  From there, go to utility > Open Printer Utility, then clean the print head.

• HP officejet 8500 has more will not print black and white because the color cartridge is low

  I have entered the property and set it to 'levels of gray' and 'use black ink only', but the printer still will not print because "the yellow ink cartridge is low.

  incredibly frustrating that the cartridges of color completely stop you from printing, even if you are trying to print in color.

  Unfortunately, the printer does not print until the replacement of the yellow ink. There is no work around for low ink message.

• HP business inkjet 1100dtn how choose the paper tray + stop printing calib random pages.

  Hello. After I finally got my 9 year old HP business inkjet 1100dtn to start printing with 8 years, print heads who threw coward (printer output) for the past 2 years last night, progress post it here:

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/Ink-toner-cartridge-printhead/HP-business-inkjet-1100dtn-first-wouldn-t...

  Now I wonder how I can choose which paper tray to print from. Since I use Windows 7 and you must use the driver for hp business inkjet 1000, I guess that the problem here? Someone else you have a solution or better another driver which works better?

  In addition, the printer keeps print calibration pages after each printing I do. The print quality is still not 100%, if only he keeps trying to calibrate because the calibrationpage it prints is of too poor quality?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Ben of the Norway.

  I tried the driver for the Microsoft 1200dtn instead of the 1000dtn that HP has suggested. Now everything works. Duplex, tray selection, etc. Good times. :-D

• HP all-in-one 8620: HP all in a single 8620 - will not print black because yellow ink so you are done?

  What nonsense, the here!

  my printer refuses to print black and white, pages saying that the yellow ink is finished?

  only if I buy a wet ink yellow it will print.

  Isn't this black mail? What does take to print?

  I did print it in black, etc, but still it prints no and gives a banner saying yellow ink purchase

  The standard yellow ink is available from HP here.  You can also consider the Multipack colourful three - if yellow is probably exhausted the other colors are not far behind.

  With regard to the requirement to have the ink color when you want to only print in black.

  HP and other printer manufacturers have technology another printer for different needs.  For ink jet printers:

  • Some have integrated into the ink cartridges print heads.  These printers can print generally with one or more of the colors completely empty, or even with color or black cartridges (but not both) removed. Deskjet 6980 series is an example, or for an all-in-one, see the 8040 a Officejet.
  • Other printers have separate replaceable printheads and inks.  An example would be the printer Officejet Pro 8620.  In these printers print head can be replaced if they are damaged by running the printhead with colors off.  Some of these printers allow printing with a color, the other will not.  If the printer is run without ink in one or several colours, the printer may be damaged, but the user may be able to recover without having to send the printer for the service by replacing the (expensive) print head.
  • Other printers have permanent print heads.  To run only those without little ink in all colours would risk causing damage to the print head because of clogs, air ingested in the printhead or grilled printhead resistances of shooting. The Officejet 6700 is an example of this type of printer. For printers with fixed print heads that could require the service to get the printer to print properly again when the ink is finally replaced.

  The document described here how the ink is used.  The document is written for inkjet printers HP the same principles apply to printers inkjet from other manufacturers.

  If you are ever printing a monochrome laser printer in color would probably be a better choice.  If you occasionally print color but especially black a HPI printer as those in the first category above can be a good choice.

• My Officejet 4620 do not print black ink

  I replaced the black cartridge on my Officejet 4620 with a new high-capacity HP cartridge and it won't print black ink on the test page, any application or function of Copier.  I have reset the printer nothing helps.  The ink level indicates that it recognizes the new cartridge and says it's full.  Black ink out of the cartridge when I put my finger against the exit hole.  I cleaned and aligned the print heads, but still no go.

  just in case someone else has this problem, heres whats really past and heres how to fix this annoying problem. its relatively easy to do and more efficient than wasting money on a new printer or have that he repaired as most people eventually do.

  going on what? the ink has clogged print heads and solidifies closed. the function of "clean print heads" the printer comes with doesn't have the ability to solve this problem. This feature is to clean the heads Sales, not clogged heads. Why hp decided to make this model without a simple to remove the cradle is beyond me, but fortunately the cradle out and can be cleaned with hot water.

  theres a few items, you will need to get there easily, or you could just burst the branch loppers, like I did and vent your frustrations.

  you will need: a pair of slender beak pliers, a screwdriver torx T9 (selling auto parts stores them for a few dollars), paper towels and a space for work (its easier to do this in a corner of a room, on a small table or floor).  Keep in mind that you are dealing with ink, then change your clothes right just in case and also catch a paper plate or a few sheets of paper to print to set ink cartridges while you work.

  (1) ok. lets start. !!! FIRST UNPLUG THE PRINTER RIGHT NOW, IF YOU DO NOT ACCIDENTALLY DIE BY ELECTROCUTION!  I forgot and when I started unscrewing the first 6 screws, kept chime jump and im like * beep *? I was impressed by the security measures hp took as model engineering.

  (2) the printer is now disconnected and then go to your corner your work surface and place the printer, so there is a wall or a barrier on the left, and also, a wall or a fence behind it. This just in front of her as if you were about to use it.

  (3) now, what you have to do, is to open the printer as you will change the ink and on the right side, there is a plastic guide that prevents opening all the way to the top. Look on the side and you'll notice that he could jump off with fingers. pop off and open it completely open, so you can get to the screws of the cover you would have prevented access to.

  (4) press the scanner part and the upper part against the back wall.

  (5) all the screws you will be remove are the size T9H torx screws. There are ten total. There are 2 black screws in the top of the forehead and then 4 black screws in the top of the back. Remove them and put them on your paper plate.

  (6) following is 1 screw silver short located under the Control Panel, use your finger and feel under the * button. Unscrew, place it on the paper plate.

  (7) depending on whether you want to remove the face/Control Panel to get in the last 3 screws so locate the illustrations on the top of the printer, there are 2 on the lower left and 5 at the bottom right (1 and 2 on the left explain removals of paper jam and 1-5 on the right then explain change in ink cartridges). then about half an inch South of the illustration of the number 5 on the lip, is a plastic stand. six inches to the left is an another then 6 inches to the left, under the number of the illustration 2 (remove the paper jam) is a third support. Unscrew using your nails. Flip it up just like the hood of the car, and eten on the main top of the printer, keep the flat wire which is connected to the frame of the control panel (if the flat wire jumped because you got too loud, then simply insert it in when you go back).

  (8) then unscrew the 3 long silver screws that are located under the Panel you just popped off the coast. There is 1 on the left and 2 on the side rightish. mix 'em on the paper plate.

  (9) now that all the screws are removed, take the Panel front and partially pop it back together.

  (10) then take all over (the part with the small illustrations and lift like a hood of car, ONLY THIS TIME OPEN IT LEFT and he balanced on the edge of the printer, to lean over towards the wall or an obstacle on your left.) MAKE SURE NOT TO PULL ON THE STRIP OF COLORFUL SON FRUITS LEFT AND ALSO THE FLAT BLACK WIRE CONNECTING PART SCANNING FOR THE MAIN OF THE PRINTER PART.

  (11) then take the pliers to tapered spout and remove the 2 silver tension springs located behind the printer cartridges. Pay attention to where they were attached so you remember where they go during the Assembly. take a picture with your phone if you have to, or simply re - understand it like I did. mix 'em on the paper plate.

  (12) then disconnect the 2 large flat wire and 1 small flatwire attached to the back of the ink cart. take a picture or can remember like I did. I guess bad things can happen if you reverse the on re-Assembly. Pick up the phone and take a picture of quik to be sure.

  (13) now remove the cart ink, cartridges and all, by lifting the front first.  Be careful of the transparent tape little there that moves the carriage from left to right and vice versa. you don't want to damage this little guy. now take the transport to your paper plate. not some ink or accidentally get it on your fingers without knowing or will make a mess.

  (14) remove the ink cartridges and put them on the paper plate, side ink to avoid a mess, these things sometimes drip. put the plate side. its time to clean the print heads.

  (15) then go to the sink, to the distribution of empty ink and turn on the hot water and then let the transport of empty ink sitting there with the water mainly through the clogged color screen (inspect and make you is not a small rubber seal surrounding the small screen, if there is do not waste it. I didn't look too closely and I don't think that hp has them but I have a few other printers). It will stain the sink but water ink he comes out to be sure. notice there is also a small circuit attached to it. don't bang it upward but getting wet does not matter.

  (16) continue to do this until the water is clear.

  (17) then use your finger and rub the screen gently with your finger and then rinse it, taking ink until the water is clear. This continues until there is no more ink and screens are clean. do it for all the colors just for good measures. the color of problem that would not print, you'll notice takes longer to clean than the other colors.

  (18) now look on the lower side of the transport. these strange looking things are the leaders. Rinse in hot water and dry them with paper towels. then flip it over and the breath on the side of the screen again. also between the screenside and heads (on the side of the transport) is an opening which is also probably gunked up. It blows with water too. Then, turn it over and wipe the head again. Repeat this step until no fades or until you are sick and tired.

  (19) shake, then use paper towels to dry the entire unit. Make sure that the device is dry.  especially inside the female plugs. blow inside or out dry hair and dry gently. do not stand there and melt the but with the blow dryer. but the sooner it dries less your ink cartridges, sitting on the paper plate will dry out. the custom of the ink dry quickly just do not take a NAP or go on a date until you're back with part of the ink.

  (20) now you have finished cleaning the heads and probably don't need to do it again for the length of time, it was because you bought the printer. and just as a roadtrip you used a map to navigate, you will use these instructions in reverse for reassembly. but keep in mind when re - insert the 3 flatwires that you disconnected from the back of the ink cart, make sure you that have small metal contact on the flatwires points (side male) inserted so they affect small metal contact points on the caps of transport (feminine) side. ALSO BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO DAMAGE BLACK FLATWIRE CONNECTING THE SCANNER PART PART HAND PRINTER. THERE IS A SMALL GROOVE IN THE PLASTIC WHERE IT CAN SIT TO GUARANTEE NO CRIMPAGE. USE IT. also make sure that the 2 hinges to the scanner portion/cover are placed correctly before the fixing of the top with the 6 black screws.

  now raise the printer and reinstall the ink cartridges. then plug in the appliance and turn it on.  If you get notifications on the control panel telling the custom of transport move, then open the trunk and remove the ink cartridges, hustles and ensure that transport is installed and that the tensioner springs are in place correctly. Repeat the operation if necessary until notifications go away or just do a test print and do not take into account the notification if you messed with it a few times already. That's what happened to me and the notification went his own. Once its online, open the hp utility and press the button "clean the heads. do 2 x in a row and you will be in style, with colors extremely rich and "BOLD" and Yes, printed black raven.

  p. s.

  You can always take your aggression out with tree limb loppers or Tin shears like I did and cut the plastic Center keeps you to transport directly outside. Completely eliminates the disassembly and reassembly. Make sure you DO NOT CUT THE TRANSPARENT TAPE THAT MOVES BACK AND FORTH TRANSPORT. This way the next time it happens it takes you only 10 minutes before you are upward and printing.

  Enjoy!  -Porf

• Photosmart 7525 not printing black

  My PhoroamER 7525 all-in-One is less than 6 months, but the black does not print. I replaced the cartridge (which was to show the half left) but it made no difference. Still no black. Help!

  Hey,.

  The first step I would execute if the printer is not printing black, even after changing the black cartridge is an ink system reset.  This will ensure that the contacts are clean and safe in the printer.  Click here for the steps to perform a reset of the ink system.

  Have you tried to run the cleanup utility integrated into Setup print head > Tools menu of the printer?  I advise all 3 levels to try to force all ports clogged in the printhead running.

  Thus, the printer goes or fail during execution of the automatic print head alignment process?  Press the key at the top right of the touch screen to access the configuration menu.  Select the Tools submenu and runs the option "align printer.

  I would also suggest a look at the document troubleshooting below.

  Troubleshooting print quality problems

  If the troubleshooting steps are unable to get black ink printing, so I suggest you contact HP Technical Support about this printer because it would still be under factory warranty, you bought it less than 6 months ago.  Contact click hereHP Technical Support.

  My HP 6520 is no longer under warranty - just for a little more than a year.  Not printing black - just replaced all the cartridges and black is not printing.  I used the print head cleaning function so many times that I used half of all cartridges including the black who don't print very disappointed in my decision to buy a HP printer!  Is that what I can do in addition to buying a new printer?  I woud guess something wrong with printhead - can it be removed and cleaned?  Help, please!

  Thank you

  Hi Mike,

  May not be clear enough.

  They should support with you because your cartridges are brand new.

  Although they were not available at all firstly I would ask you to contact them again.

  What country do you call?

  Yet once if the printer is a little more than a year, you should not pay for support, but they should be able to help.

  Please try to call their new and persist in your question, and that they can provide support on the cartridges.

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

  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.

• 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!
