  • V313w - printer does not accept refilled ink cartridges

    I added ink to my black cartridge in series 21. When I try to print I get a message: "your black ink can be below the level required for quality printing" it gives two options: "I now replaced my ink cartridges and want to continue to print" or "I want to print using only color ink. If I choose the first option nothing happens and the same window opens again. Is it possible to replace the printer and do accept and print with the black ink cartridge refilled? Thank you.

    This limitation has been annoys me because I bought this printer 3 years ago. I now have a sucessful "solution of workaround for the error message"will not print until the cartridge is changed". You will finally get this message on the printer screen if you keep printing with a low ink cartridge, or THINK that the printer is low. That is to say the number of 'fuse' for the cartridge was triggered and he will recognize is no longer as usable cartridge. This is just a ploy to make you buy ink and prevent you re-charging of your cartridge, under the guise of "we don't want you to compramise print in ink of inferior quality. As if you don't know if the print quality was deteriorating.

    Workaround: replace the cartridge and print a few pages. THEN go into the Printers page PROPERTIES and chose the "ADVANCED" tab, then click on the button "PRINT PROCESSOR". Change the print processor FROM: "Dell V313" to "WinPrint". Then change the Data Type defaults to: "RAW [FF Auto]. Click SAVE. This derivation of the Dell software and send jobs directly to the printer, bypassing the "fuse". And he does a good job of keeping the original formatting of the document. I used this summer for more than a year on the SAME black cartridge I have re-filled several times with success. Once in a blue moon - the formatting is not correct. You can change the initial setup for this doc-1, then the put parameters updated the as long as you do NOT have the error "will not print until the cartridge is changed' in the printer window. Even if you do not the error 'not print', making the necessary changes for printing proprties will allow the printer.

    I wonder if Dell will leave this post to the top?

  • Always printing black ink cartridge is not after several clean using your own ink cartridges

    I have a HP Deskjet 3050 All in One J610 series printer.

    I use Windows XP.

    I'm a Newbie as HP printers are concerned, but some have experience troubleshooting former HP model a parent.

    The black cartridge is not printing.   For various reasons, I have not used the printer for about two months.  So far, the printer worked fine, and in fact it is still using the cartridges that came with the printer.  I mention these points here because I realize or the other or both can be part of the issue.

    When I sent a document to the printer, printing was uneven.  I checked ink levels and black and color cartridges were about the third two full (before I used the print head cleaning utility.

    After cleaning the printheads, I tried again and this time the impression was the same, but in a shade of light blue, which was very low.  However, the original document is in a police man and a shade of gray, so perhaps he used ink cartridge color and not black?

    Research using the viewer help from HP does not help because it implies that you don't know how to locate the ink cartridge Clean Utility.

    After searching on Google to match the questions, I tried a second and then a third level of cleaning.  And because a post mentioned have to do eight times, I did a little more luck.  When the page is printed at the end of the cleaning cycle, the colors come out crisp and even.  There is no black bloc... is there?  I can't find an image showing a what print perfect following cleaning should look like.

    Additional to clean using the utility attempts do not seem to have worked and could even have been counterproductive because when I tried to print another document, and this came out so pale that I first thought that it is a blank page.

    I used the utility to re-estimated ink levels and the color is always about two third full, while black has dropped a little down, but is still above half full.  There is a check/tick showing for black ink and color.

    Messages on similar questions suggest that the replacement of the cartridge does not solve the problem and that heads should be cleaned manually.

    Should I try to clean the heads manually?  Who was mentioned on the threads and even on the HP support but as another option for a very different model.   I watched some demos on You Tube, but they are for different models of HP, in which they remove the printheads and clean them in a solution provided in the trade which I think is available in the United Kingdom, or with water!

    I would be grateful for any advice as to whether I should remove the black cartridge and clean heads printing and, if so, if someone could point me to a link where this is illustrated step by step, video, or shown in the logical steps.

    In the meantime I'll go off and buy a new black cartridge, but if it's the heads need cleaning, I'll have to do anyway.

    Thanks for any advice you can give me!

    I would like to manually clean the contacts on the cartridges and the printer. The process is described for your model of printer in step 3 of this document here.  The rest of the document does not apply to your question, but it does a great job giving instructions step by step on the manual cleanup process and materials needed to use lists. Manual cleaning will help ensure that the accumulation of contacts is not the cause of the issue of the print quality that you are experiencing. I hope this helps.

  • 6510 leaves suddenly printing black ink - cartridge is new

    Hello

    My Photosmart 6510 suddenly left black printing.  I replaced all cartridges, including the black a couple of weeks, and it was working fine until I went to print something from yesterday. Color work, but not black.

    I did everything on the link that has been suggested for troubleshooting and the unit is out of warranty of course.

    Are the only changes that took place between the time where it worked and did not work: 1) I installed Windows 8 and 2) I tried to make a copy of a label of the bottle, if the lid did not seal.  The first copy was dark, so I tried again and it's while doing the copy that it has just printed a page of black streaks.

    Since then, no black although when I made the diagnosis, it prints grey black.

    Thanks for your suggestions or help!

    I've tried EVERYTHING!  I finally tried printing on a Pope of photography and it worked, I went to 'preferences', then 'quality of paper' and changed other papers photo instead of plain paper.  I have kept the main tray paper source, but replaced by "draft" so that it doesn't take too long to print.  It prints very well now, but you may need to do this each time you print something.  It works at least for the moment.  It's certainly the last HP all I'll never spend money on.  The last HP laptop, I had was a lemon and through too much with it.  Hope this helps you...

  • OfficeJet pro 7680 does not use black ink. "alignment failed" is the error message.

    How can I solve this problem? I put a new ink in the printer, rebooted and still nothing. Thank you.

    Hello

    Try following the steps below to calibrate the linefeed, reinsert the printhead, etc.. :

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01957673

    If the problem persists with no change, I'm afraid you need to replace the Black / Yellow Printhead...

    As a general rule, any other value that only good health of print head indicates a problem with the condition of the print head...

    Given the fact that the print heads are already 3-4 years old (warranty ends about 2 years from the date of manufacture of printer), it might be time to replace the B/Y printhead.

    Kind regards

  • Printing black ink cartridge not...

  • 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

  • OfficeJet 4630: 4630 Officejet won't print black ink

    My Officejet 4630 is 6 months old. I bought it when my previous HP printer (which was more than 2 years) stopped printing black ink. This printer is doing the same thing. I searched the forums and the internet for a solution, nothing works.

    I just changed the black ink cartridge today because he missed. I put in a geniune, brand new, HP black ink cartridge. Print the page alignment and the black ink was very uneven/faded. I scanned the pagae alignment and it has 'failed '. Printed a new alignment page, no black ink at all on this one. Then of course, the scan which has as well. I went through so many pages of reports to the printer, print quality, printer alignment pages, it's RIDICULOUS. I took the cartridge out and put it again. The printer off, he turned his back. NOTHING WORKS. This printer, which I paid a lot of money for, turns out to be useless!

    I'm NOT going to 'send this home' which seems to be the only solution I've found that I have not yet tried. If there is no solution for this problem that I can do myself so this printer is crap and I don't want that. And if this is really the case, I will never buy an HP product again because this is the SECOND time I had this problem. What is an unreliable product and brand.

    If anyone has a solution for this, I would be acknowledging the entry.

    I have exhausted the alignment and clean the print head options with no fix. However, I found a page on HP (a little hidden and I can not find yet) who said to get out the black cartridge and place the face upward all night. I did that last night, put in this morning and boom, new black ink printing!

  • No printing black ink for OfficeJet 6500 a Plus.

    My Officejet 6500 did this once before and everything started to work properly.  Now print all colors except black. I replaced the cartridge HP 920XL but does not always print. Printer indicates that the cartridge is not empty. Checked the troubleshooting but no problem with the cartridge or seats.  Through printer head cleaning. Tried to align the print heads, but failed. Does this mean I need to replace the print head?

    Hi sandraYPO,

    I understand that the black is not printing.

    Thank you for your response.
    I'll be happy to help you with this.

    I knew not what documents you have already tried.

    Here is a document for the printer does not print black ink or color ink or prints blank Pages.

    I have included a document for the 'Print head problem' or "Print head seems to be missing or corrupt" Message appears on the screen of the control panel. It will provide you with the instructions to manually remove and clean the print head.

    This URL is a message for soaking the print head that you can try.

    New black cartridge prints partially and light.

    I hope this helps.
    Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • I have a premeium 6700 officejet that printer will not print if ANY color cartridge is low or empty.

    I have an Officejet 6700 Premium printer e all-in-one.  I can not print if ANY color cartridge is low or empty and black is full, and I want to print something that uses black ink.  Is this what can I do to print in black only without replacing color cartridges when they are not needed for the print job? Still, I can't make any impression unless all color cartridges are not low or empty.

    Hello

    I recommend taking a look at the following document, including the section "How to print with Black Ink Only":

  • OfficeJet 6500E709n will not print black ink

    It is occasional problem, now more common, previously solved using print head cleaning utility.  This time not worked.  also tried to print the alignment page, power off, and then by restarting, changed the black cartridge, without result - fine print color, just not black cartridges - at the first slight traces of footprints, now nothing.

    There is a print quality problem if the unit not printing black ink. There is a document for the E709n for printing questions found here.

    Let me know if it helps.

  • OfficeJet 6500 has more: printer will not use BLACK ink to print in BLACK. Mix of colors rather than use BLACK.

    Printer prints BLACK ink BLACK, instead he mixes the colours to make BLACK.  It creates copies in BLACK only, without mixing colors to achieve the BLACK, but when I ask it to print something it automatically uses the ink color.

    In properties, advanced, I checked the box to print in BLACK only, but did not help.

    In the printing preferences, shortcuts, where it says printing in grayscale, do you feel black ink only as a default?

    I don't know if it will work, I do not use this parameter or the Advanced setting, I have been using high-quality grayscale, but I'm interested to know why, also, when I print 99.9% of the time with color, what I need to change the color ink cartridges so frequently.  You say the color of those who are used to make black.  That makes no sense to me either why the printer would do that, except high-quality grayscale means he uses color inks vs only Black Ink is not.

    Test printed with two parameters, and that is exactly the same, so I won't set my default preferences for levels of gray-black ink only printing and see what happens.

    What how can you tell whether or not the printer is mix colors?  (by the way, if you use unusually fast color ink)

  • HP Officejet 4500 - new black ink cartridge will not print

    I just replaced a depleted with a new cartridge, HP 901 black ink cartridge and the black has completely ceased to print.  I installed a new color cartridge and it seems ok.  I cleaned the printheads several times to nothing does not.  Can someone help me?  My OS is Windows 7.

    Well, I don't know why, but the printer started working normally again.  I had turned if off for about one day and decided to try one last time before junking it and don't be, you know, it worked!  After turning on the printer, I printed a 'State' of the control panel of the printer page and - no problem.  Then I tried to print documents from my laptop and still - no problem.  I guess only time will tell if the problem is actually solved, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.  Lisa, I hope that the demon decides to leave your printer as well.  Good luck!
