• 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.

• PHOTOSMART 5520 WILL NOT PRINT BLACK

  I just replaced the cartridges for my PHOTOSMART 5520.

  After that, color printing has no black color.

  All HP cartridges are not new.

  It's very frustrating.

  for some unknown reason, this problem is gone when I tried printing 2 weeks later.

  To summarize:

  I'm in the United States.

  I replaced the 4 cartridges again purchased at HP online.

  After that, the black will not print if I choose to print in color.

  But if I print in "black and white only", black is in fact works very well.

  I tried everything suggested in the web forum such as cleaning, alignment, prower AC cycle,... etc. He has not fixed the problem.

  I stop using the printer for 2 weeks. But yesterday, I try agin, then the problem is gone.

  I don't know what to say. Thanks to HP for assistance.

  Overall, the servie is nice - just called him several times.

• HP Photosmart 5520 - will not print black ink

  Photosmart HP 5520 - black ink does not print even with the new cartiage and I did the printhead, cleaning tools and still does not work.    My warranty expires and don't know what to do next.

  Hello heartieluvcatsand welcome to the Forums of HP.

  I understand that you have problems with your black print the result.  I recommend you to perform a power reset. Unplug the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug back in the printer. Make sure that you connect the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any surge protector or power bar.

  After the reset, I would say using this document on fixing of the streaks of ink faded prints and other common Print quality problems

  I also suggest the steps described in this document printer does not print black ink or color ink or prints blank Pages.

  Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting operations. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  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.

• HP Photosmart 7520 will not print black.

  Hello... I'm new here.

  I have a 7520 HP which was a gem and has not had a single problem. Today I went to print a document in black and white and printed one side of the page while fading to white on the other side.

  I checked my ink counter and it shows more than 1/2. I tried printing again and he was almost totally faded on one half of the page and the rest was empty. It seems that just ran in the ink cartridge. I went to settings, tools, the Print Quality Report.  Printed perfectly... except that the block that was supposed to be BLACK is white.

  I installed a new ink cartridge... always a blank page. I checked the ink counter and it indicated full. I ran a report of print quality and and everything was fine... except for the BLACK BLOCK... it came out white again. All the letters printed in black on the report and were of excellent quality. I aligned the printer and received a message that says: alignment failed. Cartridges are defined for quality parameters.

  I unplugged the printer, waited a few minutes and plugged back in. Power on and I tried to print again. Same results... blank page. Aligned the printer again... same thing... Alignment failed.

  Someone at - it ideas? My printer is a little over a year old and is not widely used. I changed the black cartridge twice since I bought the new printer and it was always half full according to the meter.

  Thanks in advance.

  EDIT * I put a new Printhead and it works perfectly. I would like to emphasize that this printer was four... that's 4 weeks out of warranty!  I checked the number of pages... 692 pages. I'm a little disappointed on this subject, but I like the printer... so... I sucked it upward.

• Photosmart 7510 - will not print black on any parameter of photo paper (does not print on plain paper setting)?

  HP Potosmart 7510, printing from a memory card.  Using premium photo paper (glossy), set printer to print on HP Premium Plus Photo), printing out with Black/Brown areas in the blue-green instead of black.  Printing using plain paper, set printer on regular paper, just fine.    Same thing happens when I tried Advanced Photo and a Photo paper - print comes out with a blue-greenish cast in areas that should be black/brown.

  Tried to print a black and white photo - identical to all other attempts - if the choice of the photo options paper, the dark areas are blue/green.

  Comment - then try printing from the computer (wireless), produced the same result - black areas are printed in blue-greenish.

  Tried cleaning the cartridges, alignment printer, print quality status report looks very good.

  Door on this forum and general web search.  Nothing has yet solved problem.

  What should I do?  Any ideas/suggestions?

  Yes, this is the case on a 7510.  I worked on the answer.  Although "ink" diagnostice demonstrates both the black and the cartridges 'photo black' as being low, the 'black photo' was apparently empty.  The black of the photo must be called only because when the print properties are defined for the "photo paper", and when it is empty the black dark areas print in blue-green.  I thought that the black photo cartridge was a gray, for most thin shades grey, but maybe it's an intensifier of some sort.  It's a shame that HP does publish no real information.

• New Photosmart 5520 will not print in black

  I have a new HP Photosmart 5520 printer all-in-one.  Black ink ran out so I replaced it with a previously used ink cartridge which is of the same type # 564 but a XL version.  This cartridge has been barely used.  Now, I just can't get anything to print in black.  It will print in color, but not black.  I tried to turn off the printer.  I put the cartridge in my printer and it worked fine.  What should I do?

• 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!

• Photosmart 6520e: 6520e not printing black

  Suddenly, printer will not print black.

  Replaced the black cartridge twice and all the cartridges with genuine HP cartridges color.

  Power levels are reported as good. The shows blocks of good CMY color print quality Diagnostics page. but just a white block (empty) for blacks. Printer snap lines are extremely low.

  Have cleaned the printheads twice.

  A printing system rest in Printers & Scanners preferences.

  Thanks for any advice.

  You will need to use rubber gloves if you try the following.
  Turn off the power to the printer.
  There is a small filter to sieve under the black cartridge.

  DAB gently with a q-tip soaked in hot water.
  It may take a few tries to get unplugged sieve filter.
  Do a 'clean' between attempts.

• 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.
