HP C309a: HP C309A will be not printed black, don't align

I've seen a couple of posts similar to the problem I have.  For me the problem came suddenly.  Yesterday the printer has not worked, today no black print.  I replaced the black cartridge, even though the indicator says it was always half full.  The replacement was a new HP cartridge.  The display acknowledged the new cartridge with the screen of "genuine hp.  Still not printing black ink.  I pulled the cartridges and clean the print head, reinstalled the cartridges and tried to print.  Now, I had an alignment error screen.  I tried the hot water bath, let dry for an hour (while the cartridges were placed and sealed in a ziplock bag) and then reinstalled the print head and cartridges.  Still have the alignment error and still no black printing.  I unplugged the printer into the wall, and then repluged into it, while holding down the key "#" and press '6' on the printer keypad.  He ran the steps wondering what language and invites me to load all paper trays, then tried an alignment.  I still have the alignment error, and it would not print in black.  I retried this so many times my XL Black cartridge now read a little more half full.  Then I tried the warm water through the printhead until water in clear weather.  I double checked it by soaking in the bath hot check clear water came from the print head.  I'm dry now, but I'm not optimistic that this will be remedied what whatsoever.  Is there anything ELSE I can try?

Thank you for responding.  The third bathroom, combination of flushing seemed to work.  I managed to do print in black.

  • HP 5510 will be not printed black before and after you installed the new cartridge. the specified controls did.

    Photosmart HP 5510 will be not printed black before and after you installed the new cartridge.  The specified controls did.

    Yes, I was referring to manually clean the print head. I see that the 5510 lacks the possibility of leaving the print head manually.

    You can click on the menu of your SETUP program on your screen and go to TOOLS and clean the print head from there.

    If this does not resolve your problem, you may need to replace the print head.
    Contact HP Total Care (1800-474-6836), and if your unit is under warranty, its free.

    Let me know if this can help, thank you.

  • OfficeJet 4620 - will be not printed black - HELP!

    I have an Officejet 4620 and the printer doesn't print black ink.  Other colors print fine.  After spending $ 65, I've replaced the ink cartridges, and it would not print!

    I found the link to ""printer prints a blank Page or print no black or color ink for HP Officejet 4610, 4620, Deskjet Ink Advantage 4610 and 4620 e - all-in - One Printer Series " and followed all the instructions, TWICE, if not three times! "

    I also cleaned the printhead several times, two rounds each, and again, it will not be printed.  What to do is print the calibration reports that continue to eat my ink!   Printing reports colored pieces, but nothing in BLACK!

    This seems to be a very common problem with these printers because I have read several forums that describes the same thing, and HP does not seem a good solution or offer of difficulty or the problem.  I noticed most positions with this question end up making a private offline message.

    Before I wonder, the printer is no longer under warranty and I live in the United States.  PLEASE HELP ME!

  • Printer HP Photosmart will not print black

    Printer does not print black.  New cartridge, vent open, rebooted, powered turn off/on. etc.  Will be no copy/print or computer/print.  Commercial ran.  Will only print colours - not black.  Need advice.

    Hi robin

    I hope that we can get you back to print.

    You have a c310 PS, right? Have you tried the usual things like

    -check ink levels

    -running a clean print head

    -verification of the cartridge is properly ventilated

    If so, then soaking the printhead suggested by Bob Headrick might work. Otherwise, you could buy a new printhead at shop part of HP (because I assume that your printer is now out of warranty?)

    The part No. you will need to pick up at the store is CN642A. The link is below ("buy a new online')

  • 5512: 5512 printer will not print black - 3 of all colors print correctly

    Hello

    The 5512 will not print black.  New cartridge installed.  Clean print head run more than 5 times without problem.  There was many 5512 'no black printing problem' not noticed on this forum with many courses of resolution.  I followed the instructions found on so many comments, but unfortunitely, the problem still exist.  I noticed there were some done private view so I don't know that there is a similar problem that needs to be processed offline.  Thanks in advance for any help provided.

    Thank you all for the suggestions.

    Nothing has worked for don't solve the "no black ink.

    So, I took the print head of cart and carefully protected the small circuit board on the back side.  There is a large accumulation of ink on the bottom of the Assembly.  I sat the nozzles at the bottom of the distribution of very hot water and allowed some time to soak.  From there on, I used carefully some fabric material and q-tips to wipe the nozzles.  Then I got very hot water, and he ran to the top of the side of the Assembly to the screens and through the nozzles.  This effort lead to a very large discharge of ink black and color.  I dried the Assembly and reassembled the transport to the printer.  Placed all the cartridges back in, ran clean printhead once and then guess what? the printer now prints black and color inks better than he has in years.

    Total time needed to perform this cleanup was less than 30 minutes from start to finish.

    Good luck to all of you who have this problem.

    Before the rampage of the printer, it is interesting to try this fix.

    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

  • Photosmart 6520: HP Photosmart 6520 will not print black

    This seems to be a common problem for these printers.  Rank of ink so I bought new cartridges and everything prints fine except for blacks.  Diagnosis of print quality page show an empty bar for black.  The cartridges are brand new inks authentic HP.  Thought maybe I had a bad so I bought another black cartridge and same problem.  Have done some research and I saw that a few people had succeeded by soaking the cartridges in the hot water.  Tried it with hot water from the tap for 15 minutes and it will always print in black.  I cleaned the print head 5 times but still nothing.  Warranty expired on 24-03-14.  So 9 months warranty and I have an anchor instead of a printer.  Help please.

    Hello people,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I see that you are facing some print quality problems on your HP Photosmart 6520, you cannot print in black ink.

    I wish you continue troubleshooting 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.

    If you are unable to print in black ink, I think that the issue may be the printer and not the cartridge. I highly recommend call you our technical support at the 800-474-6836, I'm sure they will be able to help you regardless of the status of the guarantee.

  • My Officejet 6500 E709 all in one will not print black.

    My HP Officejet 6500 E709n all-in-one will not print black.   All other colors work very well.  Have you tried what follows - new black cartridge installed, ran the print heads clean utility, made sure the wind was compatible black ink cartridge, turned printer off and restarted.  Print tests still not print black - other colors and images to print, but not text black or shades of black in images.  Any suggestions on how to fix or what needs to be repaired?  Thank you.

    Hi jim: I just had the same problem a few minutes ago. After having gone through all the troubleshooting steps, I realized it was all just a bad cartridge. The PIN on the printer heads were not reading the new cartridge, so nothing in black print could be printed. I installed a new black cartridge and I could resume my printing projects. I then contacted the HP store directly to report the faulty cartridge while they could send me a new, that I won't be out of pocket for a cartridge I bought directly from them.

    Hope this helps you with your problem.

  • HP Deskjet all-in-one: HP Deskjet 3520 will not print black, period

    OK, I've lost my WHOLE day, searched forums, has done what others have tried, poste posted HP Facebook, doing whatever is humanly possible to get my printer to print in black. I ran the clean printhead, black ink changed TWICE new cartridges, reloaded drivers, reset the default open to the top of the printer and tried to manually clean the head after only 4 hours to do everything I can possibly do to get this junk to print in black. The printer is only a year old and the cartridges are freshly bought from the store. So, tell me what am I missing or is the printer ready to be stoned?

    Hi @ChrisBird,

    Welcome to the HP Forums

    Looks like you've covered most of the steps, but I will propose always to have a look through this document printer prints blank Page or not printing black or color ink for HP Deskjet Ink Advantage and Deskjet 3520 e-all-in-one printer series to ensure that you have verified that the event on both cartridges.

    If this does not help still nothing and will not always be the black print, please call our technical support team and request a replacement printer. At THAT TIME, regardless of the warranty, they should be able to establish that the replacement for you. Otherwise, let me know and I'll do my best to help you with a resolution.

    The pleasure of you talk to soon!
