HP photosmart 5515 does not print black

Hello

I have the same problem as many others: my printer has stopped printing black.  The colors are ok, and I tried to what is suggested in the paper, ink levels check and evacuate on the cartridge, by running the print head clean program. Nothing has changed, no black printing or copying.

Yhe warranty has expired.  Is there something I can do?

Hello! Welcome to the @lauf forums.

I read on the way to your your Photosmart 5515 is more printing in black ink. My suggestion to you, would be to read similar here to my colleague @HevnLgh on another post, and I would say following the same process that she mentions in this post: Re: light printing ink black

I hope this helps you!

Have a wonderful weekend

  • Photosmart 6515 does not print black ink after replaced the cartridge

    I am very frustrated! I can't get my Photosmart 6515 print black ink.

    Our school sends the documents by e-mail now that we have to print at home. Ideal for them, but not for me. They are usually in PDF format, so I do not have the ability to edit and change the blue color to print, either.

    I only use HP cartridges on this printer. I know it's more than a year, in order to call phone support will do no good.

    I replaced both cartridges and now it shows black ink completely full, but when I print the printer status report, black is not displayed. Black does not appear on the tool pages, either.

    I tried the command "clean printhead" several times. I unplugged and waited. I took all the cartridges. Connections look clean.

    What should I do to perform a partial reset or full?

  • HP Photosmart 5515 does not print on photo paper

    I have a HP Photosmart 5515, I was sold as being suitable for use with my ipad. But it also works for printing documents that it refuses to print images on photo paper. I'm an artist and this is the most important part of a printer for me. How do I put in place? Is there something I failed to do? Any help gratefully received.

    Hello

    There should be an option to mark the answer that solved the problem as the solution. If you do not, you can click on the thumbs up instead.

    If you go to the app store on your apple device and look for the HP e-Print, it should be one of the first applications to come. Let me know if you have any problems using the application and I will be happy to guide you through it.

  • Photosmart B110 does not print black

    Hello world

    I have a B110 phosmart for 3 years and it has worked perfectly until last week.

    All of a sudden, the black ink is not printed correctly, in other words, there were white lines in the text printed, so I thought I should replace the cartridge, and so I did. However, even with the new cartrdige, the problem persisted.

    I cleaned manally head of black ink, but it did not work. I have also run the utility several times to clean the print heads, but I did get no result.

    If initially, I got only the problem of the white lines in the black printed text, after several cleaning cartridge in the printer utility menu, I did get no black print at all.

    So I thought that the problem had to do with the set of printheads slot, so I replaced it.

    But, unfortunately, after having changed the entire site of printheads, I can't always print in black.

    I normally got the other characters of colour, but not black.

    What could be the reason?

    Please note that I already read all the pages on the standard resolution (http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02046460).

    Thank you for your help,

    Bruno

    Solved! I am even more convinced of obsolescence are scheduled for my printer.

    I solved my problem and you know how?

    I have "dupe" of my printer.

    The print heads are in good condition (I bought new print heads) and I had already perfectly cleaned up the chip in the printer. So why not print?

    Whenever I changed the entire site of printheads, printer makes a procedure of 'mysterious' duration of 4 minutes.

    After changing several times the new and the old sites of print head, printer has started printing black ink, again initially lightly, then normally.

    So, what happened? As I said the printer was quite in the right order, the inks were original and I had followed any other procedure.

  • HP photosmart 6510 does not print black

    Printer just stopped printing black.  seems to be a major problem for these printers.  curse you HP.  Thought I did everything by going with you allows to replace my other printer.

  • Premium photosmart HP does not print black

    I replaced all ink cartridges. Makes 3 automatic print head cleaning. Some manual cleaning of the internal left side and print head cartridge. After all that black did not improve, it is a very pale grey. A print of the photo has no definition in all colors. The Canada geese have blue/grey neck when the true color is black.

    Yes, I tried to soak the head print, but WITHOUT success.  I spent almost 2 hours with a HP technician on the phone again through all the testing process.  The result was this 3 year old printer in the trash.  The tech (Joy) was 'extremely' helpful and plesent to work with.  She gave me answers to all my questions on a future purchase.

    I'm done with this question - the printer is trashed.

  • Photosmart 5512 does not print black

    I read the suggestions of what to do if you have print heads could remove that do suggest you for the 5512. I did the reboot and used the "clean printhead" on the printer several times. Still no black, other colors are fine. It was working fine until I replaced all cartridges. I did not remove the old cartridges until I put new in. Help would be appreciated.

    Ciara,

    Thanks a lot for your interest and help.  I think my problem is resolved.  I ran the tool "to clean the print heads" three times and started to see results. After that it runs three other times the printer seems to work well.  Of course now I used all my color ink cartridges new, but at least I don't have to buy a new printer!  Thanks again.

  • Photosmart 6510 e - All - In - One: Photosmart 6510 does not print black clearly

  • Photosmart 6510 does not print in black

    My photosmart 6510 does not print in black. I presume that it was the cartridge but I replaced the cartridge and it still does not print. I cleaned the print heads and the cartridge ink levels are full.

    The printhead, cleaning of the screen failed touchscreen printer running.  But when I sat down at my computer and used the program utility printing, he did.  I ran an initial print head cleaning my computer and then clicking the button indicating that the print heads were NOT clean.  He then ran a deep cleansing process.  Then I lined up the printheads of the same print utility program.  Now it works!

  • HP Photosmart 5520 does not print in black ink.

    Black doesn't print not... except on the print quality diagnostics page where the text and black frames around boxes all print in black.  Inside of the 'Black' box is empty, however.  When I try to print a page of type, it is either totally empty or very indistinct.  How is that possible?

    I saw three other posters with this same problem, everything from 21/01/14 and no answers to the problem.  All the patches of troubleshooting on the Web page do no good.

    My warranty has expired also.  Is this a systemic problem?  How do we get fixed?

    Hi RAJP-52,.

    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!

    I understand that the black is not printing on the computer but prints partially on the diagnostics page.

    I'll be happy to help you.

    I don't know what you have tried so far the fix, but I included a few documents to go through the steps to see if we can solve this problem.

    This printer has a permanent print head. You can always run however of cleanups on the print head.

    This document is intended printer does not print black ink or color ink or prints blank Pages.

    Here is a document to clean the contacts of the cartridge.

    'Cartridge problem,' 'Cartridge missing or damaged', or 'Not compatible ink cartridges' Message is displayed on the control panel.

    Please let me know the results if you are still having problems.

    You use genuine HP cartridges?
    Check the date on the cartridge to make sure that they are still in warranty. (not old stock)
    What are the ink levels?

    If you like you can print a new diagnostic test page, scan it and include it in the post, I can take a look to try to find a way to solve this problem.

    Thanks for posting on the HP Forums.
    Good day!

  • 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.
