• HP Photosmart b109n won't print black

  I have a HP's Photosmart b109n who suddenly stopped printing black ink. All other colors are printing very well.

  I tried all of the suggestions that I can find in various forums, including cleaning & advanced cleaning, switching off & replacing ink, realign the printer etc..

  Someone at - it any other suggestions. I am currently working at home, so my printer is important to me.

  Thank you.

  Happy to say that my problem has been resolved. I repeated the same steps several times that I had already made (including an update of the HP software) and my printer has suddenly started printing black. I don't know what was the real problem!

• HP photosmart 6510 won't print black.

  I've done all the troubleshooting several times, still nothing.

  When I print the printer status report, there are black square brackets around each colour, but not black rectangle in black space.  I tried to copy a printout (no color) and the page is blank.  I cleaned the black cartridge screen gently with a paper towel, still nothing.  I tried 2 new black cartridges.  Printer was working fine, then that.

  I found a solution! My printer was also not print black, but I knew it wasn't a problem of ink because it was a new cartridge, I cleaned the print head with every suggestion I could find, and on the test pages it was printing black in square brackets the colored lines. It was a software problem.  Another post suggested using the drivers replacing for a paper size error. Please see the link below on how to choose replacement drivers...

  I chose HP Photosmart 3300 drivers because this printer had similar features, including wireless printing. It worked! I hope this helps!

• HP 5510 won't print black

  My 5510 print not black like everybody else.  I tried everything-new cartridges, cleaning and try to align the print heads, etc., nothing helped.  It is out of warranty.

  Could someone send me the reset instructions "secret"?  At this point, I don't care if I have the damage because I know I have to go out and buy a new printer, but I want to make a last ditch effort.

  Thank you.

  Hi sillygrandma,

  Thanks for getting back to me. A reset does not solve the problem; However, I will send you a private message, please check the little envelope on the upper right of the forums page to check your Inbox of Forums.

  

• HP Photosmart, 7515 won't print black

  I tried all the recommendations, I could find nothing doesn't.  Head cleaned and followed instructions in the tools of the printer.  I know that many have had this same problem and have found a way to solve the problem.  Any recommendations?

  In the paper here troubleshooting steps can help solve the black does not print on your Photosmart 7515.  Be sure to check the vents, as on the three solution.

  If the first four solutions do not resolve the problem I would say soak the printhead as described in the post here before considering to replace the print head.

• Photosmart C3150 won't print black

  I just put a new printer cartridges, both black and tricolor. Impression levels register as high, but the black ink will not print. I have had no error message. I did the troubleshooting thing where I cleaned the printheads 3 times, but he has not made a difference.

  I use a Mac with os x.

  ETA: Now I get a "low ink" message when I hit the "print" button, but only for black. It's a brand new ink cartridge from HP that I just installed two days earlier and used to print on a dozen pages! How can it be ink already?

  Hi ektnm,

  I understand that your printer is not printing in black.  I'll take a look at the document below.

  I changed my black ink cartridge in my HP Photosmart 5514 (CQ183A product number, serial # {Private Information Removed}) and now it won't print black.  The colors work fine, just no black. I have cleaned the print heads, made the secondary allignment page clean, I tried, I turned off and he restared.  I plugged in a new point of sale, I cleaned the printer head and the cartridge. Nothing has worked.  Please help me.  The printer ran out of ink, I bought a new cartridge, I put it, it's what I've done for her.  I have a "genuine HP black ink cartridge 564.  It is not a recharged, refurbished, used, ect. ink, it's brand new.

  Sorry you have a problem with black print do not. This happens usually when the print heads are clogged, damaged, or damaged cartridges.

  You may have bought a bad cartridge. They are sometimes damaged right out of the packaging. It could also be the print head needs to be changed.

  Here is a link that can help you with this situation.

  You can also try to take the printhead and clean the contacts with water and lint.
