HP Photosmart 5514 no black ink printing

• Photosmart 5514: Photosmart 5514 - new black ink cartridge will not print

  I just replaced all 4 ink cartridges (new cartridges of HP).  Each color prints fine except the black.  Not a spot of ink is crossing.  I removed, checked and reinsert the cartridge several times.  I check the contacts, clean them by following the instructions in the troubleshooting guide.  I've run the cleanup tool and quality report several times each.  Still nothing.  The printer is only a couple of years, out of warranty, but I don't have any problems with it so far.  Is there anything else I can try before I have to throw this printer?

  For anyone who is having the same problem: I continued to try to understand this problem because I didn't have to buy a new printer.  I finally found a solution after trying everything that previously mentioned.  HP never really gave me any solution.

  On the touch screen of the printer, go to Setup, then Preferences.  Do scroll to the chip in cartridge information and change it to Off.  Now my black ink prints!

  I don't know if it will work on other printer models, but it worked on mine.

• PhotoSmart 5512 no black ink printing

  Hi all.  I have a PhotoSmart 5512 who has recently stopped printing black ink.  Before we get into all that, here is some basic information:

  Primary computer: MacBook Pro OS 10.9.2

  Connection: On home WiFi network

  Recent changes: black ink cartridge changed (twice), no network changes

  I serve this 5512 without problems since we bought it in August 2012. Recently, it stopped printing black ink. I checked the levels and it seemed to be close to empty (by using the form on the printer and Mac methods of control levels). I replaced the black cartridge with a black cartridge HP 564XL black. Installation, I ran the "clean printer heads" several times, but still saw no black ink. All I get on the print are the various boxes of colors at the bottom of the page.

  Yet once, I replaced the black cartridge with a new black cartridge HP 564XL black.  Once again, to the installation, I ran the 'Clean Printer Heads' several times, but still not seen any black ink.

  I removed the cartridge and checked the filter between the cartridge and print head. He had a cool on black ink. This makes me think that the printer is properly pulling the cartridge ink and sending it to the head print correctly, but for some reason, this isn't making it by the head of the printer correctly.

  I followed the steps on this page (found in another similar post), although I have not yet submitted the printer for maintenance.

  Help, please. I am a teacher by class 1 and almost all print on cardstock color for my students.  Not having do not access to home printing has really took me by surprise.

  Thanks for your help.

• Photosmart 6515 leaves black ink printing

  Not under warranty (of course).  At tried all the troubleshooting steps, about 3 times.  Replace all ink cartridges.  Purchased additional black carridge again, just in case. I need to print, cannot let stand idle for days to see if it will 'recover' (can't believe it's actually a suggestion of troubleshooting).  The only solution is to buy a new printer?

  Thank you, but it has not solved the problem.  Now, I replaced the printer.

• Photosmart HP 5510 does not leak possible internal ink black ink print

  A few days ago, I noticed that my 5510 photosmart printer was printing not anything in grayscale. The printer was only print a blank page. Given that the black cartridge was running low I deciced to replace the cartridge with a new cartridge HP XL Black real. This doesn't seem to work so I replaced the cyan, magenta and yellow cartridges as well because they were weak. Once again this seems not the problem with the black ink print do not. I tried UN plugging in the printer, restore the factory settings, the ink head cleaning (as well as manually clean the black ink head), uninstall and reinstall the printer on my computer software and ensuring that each cartridge is properly ventilated properly. I tried to print a color document printed fine, but he left what was supposed to be black on the page.

  I decided to investigate the inside of the printer, a little further with a flashlight while it was unplugged. Everything seemed fine until I have move the carriage of ink to the left and noticed that when the transport of ink is normally found on the far right, was full of black ink. Splashes of black ink are found all over the structure of the printer. The padding that is located inside the base of the printer is dipped in black ink as well. I don't know if this is normal or if this is the reason why black ink is not printing correctly, but I have pictures if anyone is interested in seeing.

  The possibility of replacing the printer bothers me a lot because I just bought yesterday only $90 of the ink.

  Hi @Samantha88

  I will private message you on that.

  Thank you

• Photosmart B209 more - black ink issue Photo

  Hi I just brought the Photosmart Plus and notice that there are 2 types of black for this printer and one slot on the black ink print head.  I always use the black Starter supplied with the printer.  So my question is if I want to print a photo, just the regular black out with photography black and switch it back when finished to print the photo? or I should finish the black Starter first then switch to photo black. TIA!

  This page can help identify the correct cartridges.  The photo and regualr black cartridges are not interchangeable.

• HP Photosmart more B210A: black ink cartridge will not print.

  The black ink will print on my printer.  I installed new ink and cleaned the print heads.  I did a review of the printer and the ink of color appeared only.  The printer is recognizing the cartridge when I check the ink levels.  The first page after cleaning came out very faint then anything.  At first, I thought that the new black ink cartridge was defective.  So I replaced it with another new - no difference.

  The only change is that I have installed all new cartridges when all printing has become very low.

  Help, please.  Thank you.

  Fushing did not work, however, we used a demo on Utube and has not used the distlled water.  That could be the problem. The printer is about 8 years old, we decided to get a new one.  Thank you very much for your help.

• Photosmart 6520: HP Photosmart 6520 does not black ink print

  I ran through the steps on the troubleshooting http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03954004 page and it did not work. I know similar questions have been asked and have "answered", but I have found no solution that worked for me. The printer was working fine earlier this week, and all of a sudden, it would not print black ink. I went out and bought a new black ink cartridge and that does not work either. It was the same problem that led me to replace my HP Officejet 6500 I loved tenderly. I need an all-in-one for my work, but I can't afford to buy a new after spending the money on this one. The warranty just ran out last month and I need help to solve this problem, because I'm not buying a new HP if it is a problem that all have the all-in-one. Other family memebers suggest Epson printers, but I love HP and wants to stick to what I know.

  Please help me.

  You mean by 'options', to have bought an upgrade right? Because I just got the phone with them and they me nothing that HP will make becaue it's out of warranty. So, build a defective product to force the new buy, is that correct?

• printer Photosmart 3310 says black ink is out. replaced the same message twice.

  My printer says ink is out, but I have replaced the cartridge twice, cleaned the contacts, clean the print head and says the same thing. I was the impression of the things that I have in choosing the black mark of another color option, but last night he left the impression at all.  Indicates the ink level is dangerously low and could cause injury.  I always use hp ink cartridges. Please help don't want to replace the printer if I have to.

  Hello

  The ink is blocked somewhere and not out of the print head. or the ink flowing from somewhere inside the printer.

  Open the lid to see the inside of the print mechanism. to the left of the printer, you should be able to see the tubes. see if any of them escape (without touching it).

  If the black ink is always full, but the printer says empty, then ink is blocked somewhere.

  Whatever it is. I'm sorry, but the printer looks like it will replace.

• Photosmart HP 6520: black ink does not print

  I've had the printer for less than 2 years 6520 and black stopped printing. I did all the instructions on the screen for troubleshooting, and still it does not work. If anyone has some advice, it would be appreciated. I'm not wanting to pay a fee to speak to a live person. What happened to free customer service?

• Photosmart HP 6520 - black not printing

  I have a printer HP Photosmart 6520, it was working well until recently. A couple of days it color printing black with lines through their departure or much lighter than it should be. The ink level was almost empty, I bought a new set of 564 cartridges staples (genuine HP ink cartridges). After that I put them in the black was always light and got lighter with each printing. I cleaned the heads a few times, but has not made a difference. Finally the black stopped printing altogether.

  I have old ink cartridges, so I put in the dark, thinking that it was not good. Even the old one does not print, so this leads me to believe that the print head is clogged. On this model the head does not come out so I can't follow the posts on cleaning using this method. The printer is out of warranty this HP difficulty is not an option.

  Is there a way to clean the printhead without deleting? What other options can I here?

  @mikelbeck

  As it is a 6520 I would advise calling the HP helpline a call - even if it is out of warranty, as they will probably provide you with a replacement printer

• Re: HP officejet 4620 does no black ink print

  I'm having this same problem, but with an off-warranty B210a all-in-one printer. Can you help me with this also?

  @rrblint

  One thing worth is to soak the printhead as described below...

  (1) get a pan and put 1/2 "of very hot (not boiling) water in the bottom.
  (2) remove all ink cartridges, then remove the print head Assembly.
  (3) gently put the printhead nozzles down in water and soak for 5 minutes.
  (4) remove the print head and gently dry the electrical contacts.
  (5) replace the print head in the printer and then reinstall the ink cartridges.

• OfficeJet 6100: Black ink printing

  I have a yellow cartridge empty but want to print in black ink only 90% satisfied with my printing needs.

  The manual here says 32-33 pages that the printer will print black if there is enough color ink in the print head, but once the ink has run out completely the cartrdige will need to be replaced.

  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, check the Deskjet 2540.
  • Other printers have separate replaceable printheads and inks.  An example would be the printer Officejet 6100.  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 to the printer for the service.
  • 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.  While the document is written for inkjet printers HP the same principles apply to the other manufacturers.print but especially black color inkjet printers printer IPH as those in the first category above can be a good choice.

• DeskJet 3522 does no black ink print

  I got a new DeskJet 3522 for just a few months, when I tried to print a PDF file yesterday, black ink started to print very, very faintly, and then completely disappeared.  I guess I was out of ink, so I bought a new HP black cartridge.  When changing the cartridge, the ink level showed a black ink left, but in any case, I changed the cartridge.  The new cartridge does not print also.  He still has a lot of ink in the color cartridges and it shows a totally black cartridge.  Displays the level of the cartridge are generally accurate?  Have I not a new cartridge defective?  What is the problem?  Thank you.

  Hi, such that the printer is still under warranty I would definitely say contact you HP support by phone you may need a replacement printer. Can you please let me know how you go?

  Thanks, Ciara
