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!

  • HP Deskjet 3520 - will not print black text

    I have a Deskjet 3520 printer.  I installed a new HP ink cartridges, color printing works fine, but the black does not print.  Even if I force black only in the preferences to print gray nothing comes out.  The print head moves back and looks like it's printing, but the page is empty.  I also ran the cycle of cleaning heads.

    Help, please!

    Cheers, Ben

    Hi all

    My question seems to get fixed after I ran a printer 'clean' options available.

    If you guys have this problem, why not try to clean?

  • ALL-IN-ONE PHOTOSMART HP 5510 WILL NOT PRINT AFTER GO 'SLEEP' MODE

    My printer model:

    HP PHOTOSMART ALL-IN-ONE 5510 B111A

    Problem:

    Printer goes into sleep mode. After 25-30 minutes breaks the connection between the PC and the printer wireless. Beacon wireless is the same fashionable "sleep" and I see that the printer is connected to my router and there is internet connection. HP Print and Scan doctor sees the printer, but I can't wake the printer unless I restart it.

    What I've tried so far:

    I tried all the solutions offered hp.com; Reinstall driver, updating the printer software, setting static IP on the printer, static DNS servers, using HP print and Scan doctor.

    I've seen people questioned on this issue before and there is no solution. I really need help from HP!

    After days of research, the problem was finally solved! I applied the following steps below. Some steps may be unnecessary, I didn't waste my time knowing who.

    1. find your PC's DNS servers by typing ipconfig/all in CMD.
    2. assign a static IP address outside your DHCP range. For my Linksys router him between 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.150. So I put my static IP address as 192.168.1.20.

    To do this, click the button on your printer wireless. This will show the IP address of your printer. This type of your browser. Go/network/network address. Choose manual IP and write 192.168.1.20

    3 now come to section of the manual DNS server, and then type your DNS servers, you found before.

    4. open your HP printer program that must be installed with your driver. Utilities hit and update the IP address. Update your address with your static IP address.

    5. now go to your router settings. Find the wireless settings and change your not automatic standard 20 MHz radio band.

    6. change your standard channel to 6.

    7 find the wireless security and replace your WPA-personal security mode.

    8 disable UPnP

    9. This is the part of the KEY. Change the renewal of your key to 36000 seconds. (10 hours)

    10 go to the Windows Advanced Firewall. Enable all the disabled printer and share, entrants and outbond rules.
    I believe that the most important parts are affecting a static IP address outside your DHCP-range and change the key renewal time. I hope this works for you too

  • My Deskjet 3520 does not print envelopes. None of the proposed solutions work.

    My DEskjet 3520 does not print envelopes.  I tried all the solutions, and none of them work.  My operating system is Windows XP Professional SP 3.  The computer is a Dell inspiron 530.   There is noe error messages.  When the envelope comes out of the printer, it is empty.  When an 8.5 x 11 piece of paper is in the printer, the address information prints on the right edge of the paper in landscape format.

    My conclusion is that there is a serious error in the software.

    If there is any workaround I would be grateful to receive them.

    Charlie Wingo

    I simply "duped" the copier and formatted the envelope to print in the center of an 8 1/2 X 11 inch paper landscape page.  It took a few violins, but I've got envelopes printing.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • DeskJet 2544: Do not print black

    I've been using this printer for over a year now and suddenly the black does not print, print all colors fine, but started black printing of a very light gray, then everything just stopped printing. I did all the tricks and tips (alignment, cleaning 4 times I may add etc) but still have this problem. I bought new ink, even if the old one still shows half full, and it still doesn't work! any ideas people? I don't really have the money to buy a new printer and have a full and half full black ink cartridge. help, advice or tips I could try before bouncing back from this printer on the wall and connect with standards, business would be greatly appreciated.

  • Printer HP Deskjet 3070 all-in-One - the IP address will not save

    Almost as if it won't save or flash memory.

    Please help someone.

    Thank you

    Hello Odbod22

    By turning the printer power switch will usually change the IP address, unless make you it static or unchangable. The reason for routers use a protocol called DHCP that tells it how to distribute IP addresses. So, it is not uncommon that address to change. To avoid this, you must assign a static IP address on the printer.

    To do so follow the link below and search for "Step 6" how to set a static IP address.

  • HP Deskjet 3520: My HP Deskjet 3520 won't print black after replacing the cartridge

    I just replaced all my ink cartridges in my HP DESKJET 3520 printer (it's wireless).  It prints fine colour, but not black.  I tried to clean the print head, align the cartridges, check the intake on the cartridges.  I have also just opened another black cartridge, thinking maybe my new was defective.  So now, I've just lost a cartridge.

    so frustrated! My printer is more than a year now.  So not guaranteed.  When I click on the printer ink levels, he is grateful I have full cartridges - but is not printing in black at all.

    FYI, never heard of anyone in case HP. himself seems to have resolved the day after. Now my black ink cartridge works.

    Hi there @DonJB1 , I hope you're well

    I read your messages not being able to print, and seeing that the printing and scanning Dr. not cross it's wide scan without getting stuck, I have a few more suggestions for you.

    Restart the spooler to print on your computer manually:

    1. click on start
    2. type 'Services' in the search field.
    3. open SERVICES
    4. at the bottom, click "extended view.
    5. search for the print spooler
    6. right click and choose Properties
    7. Select Automatic from the drop-down list, close the window
    8. right-click Print Spooler and select 'Stop', wait until it stops and then again right click and 'Start '.
    9. close out Services and try your print.

    If the prints will still not work and always test print from more than one program such as Notepad and a Web page, try:

    1. Uninstalling the printer software
    2. Restart the PC completely
    3. Download and install the full pilot here: HP Deskjet F4400 all-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Driver
    4. Try to print again.

    If the prints are still not working, try a "deeper" uninstall. Here are the steps to do a uninstall of level 3.

    1. Click Start and type %temp%, enforcement and open the temp folder.

    2. Locate and open the folder starting with 7z (example: 7zS2356) (if there is more than one, choose the most recent folder)

    3 open the Util folder

    4 open the CCC folder

    5. run the L3uninstall.exe (can also be a.) BAT file)

    6. once the uninstall is complete, restart the computer

    7 run the Accessories\ System Tools Disk Cleanup

    8. download and install the latest version of Adobe flash player

    http://www.Adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads .html

    9 download drivers and full software features: all-in-one printer, HP Deskjet F4400 series full feature software and driver

    10. run the download to reinstall the printer

    Test print now and it should work

    Good luck!
