HP photosmart 5520: printer does not print black

• Photosmart 5520: Computer does not connect to Photosmart 5520 more

  Hello

  I have a printer HP Photosmart 5520 which, until recently, worked absolutely fine! I even upgraded my laptop to Windows 8 to 10 and the printer continued to work perfectly.

  However, a few weeks ago the printer no longer. In other words: when I try to send a print job to the printer from my laptop (wireless), the computer says it can't find the printer. The printer is on, certainly on the same network as the laptop's wireless and nothing has changed in this network. But I keep getting errors.

  I tried to solve the problem by deleting the printer in my computer and re-install the drivers, but when trying to run the driver installation program, it cannot locate my printer either. I can't locate even by manually typing the IP address of the printer (as Setup request)... Yet I don't know still certainly both devices are in the same network and I also double, triple checked the typed IP address.

  I really don't know what else to do. I also do not understand the problem at all, because I have absolutely nothing changed in my computer or network... the printer became simply "inaccessible".

  I'm now work around the problem by using e-print (send documents to print my eprint address), but I don't like this option because one) it's unnecessarily complicated. and (b) whenever you post a document, the printer prints an extra page with the e-mail address and it is a waste of paper and ink.

  So if someone could help me with my driver/connection problem, I would be very grateful!

  Thank you

  Lenny

  Running the diagnostics to http://www.hp.com/go/tools can help solve the problem.  Download and run printing HP and doctor Scan.

  You mention that you have checked the IP address.  You can open embedded Web Server (EWS printer) by entering the IP address if the printer in your browser?

• PHOTOSMART HP 6520 does not print black. And the ink levels estimated for the other inks are not correct.

  Hi, I bought my photosmart Hp 6520 year last, October. But it is no more print black after replacing ink twice. I tried to clean the print head with water and tried "clean print head" in tools, does not solve the problem...

  What is wired is that I bought 4 new 564 inks the hp of the target 2 days ago, printed only less than 10 pages to see if the problem is resolved. Then my printer told me that the cartridge is too low... Is this possible?

  It makes me crazy now... What is even worse, I used a tool to detect my printer, and he said that is no longer under warranty... But he was only 9 months... How can I solve this problem? Thank you.

  The document here can help solve the black does not print on your Photosmart 6520.  Be sure to check the vents, as on the three solution.

  If this does not resolve the issue I suggest you call HP (1-800-HPINVENt to the United States, see here for details by the way).  The warranty online tool is an estimate, they will have a process of updated the status of the guarantee if necessary.

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

  When I print from my Dell Inspiron One 2330 (wireless), the black ink does not work.  I ran 10 Windows troubleshooting link on your site and it did not help.  I printed a "quality report" directly from the printer and the black letterng was very good.  I installed the new (564XL) black ink but it did not help.  Several weeks ago, I installed Windows 10 and until this week, everything was fine.  My printer is configured as a default network printer.  I'm having the same problem when I print from my iPhone 5 and iPad.

  My problem turned out to be a hardware problem - bought a new printer.

• My Photosmart HP 6515 does not print black only.

  Sometimes, I want to print something on the web that has the color, but if I have no color and just want black and white how can I do? I don't see anything on the control panel of the printer that allows me to do that.

  The copy on the control panel function is, I suppose, just for the copy of something you place on top of the screen glass and not to the copy on the web. Is this correct?

  Other printers (such as my old Canon printer) allows me to do black and white.

  Hello

  You can set print black ink using the settings of the printer on your Mac:

  First of all, try to click the menu presets from the print dialog box and select the preconfigured black single preset.

  If this does not appear, follow the steps below to manually create such a "Preset":

  1. from the application used to print, click the file menu and select print. The print window is displayed.
  NOTE: The print window might be minimized: click the blue triangle next to product model (Mac OS X v10.5 or v10.6) or the button view details (Mac OS X Lion v10.7 / 10.8) see all available parameters.

  2. to access the color options, click in the area of selection below, listed as the name of the program (e.g. TextEdit)
  Will appear as Copies & Pages within Microsoft Office applications.

  3. Select Type/quality paper in the menu dropdown.

  4. click the triangle next to color Options of spending parameters.

  5. set the color to grayscale field.

  6. set the Mode to grayscale in black cartridge only.

  You can save the settings for later use by clicking preset > save current settings as preset.

• PhotoSmart HP 6520: HP PhotoSmart 6520 Series does not print black

  My HP 6520 is no longer under warranty - just for a little more than a year.  Not printing black - just replaced all the cartridges and black is not printing.  I used the print head cleaning function so many times that I used half of all cartridges including the black who don't print very disappointed in my decision to buy a HP printer!  Is that what I can do in addition to buying a new printer?  I woud guess something wrong with printhead - can it be removed and cleaned?  Help, please!

  Thank you

  Hi Mike,

  May not be clear enough.

  They should support with you because your cartridges are brand new.

  Although they were not available at all firstly I would ask you to contact them again.

  What country do you call?

  Yet once if the printer is a little more than a year, you should not pay for support, but they should be able to help.

  Please try to call their new and persist in your question, and that they can provide support on the cartridges.

• Photosmart eStation C510 does not print

  Hi my (?) Photosmart eStation C510 printer does not print! I checked all settings changed ink cartridges, it will print a color image, but it will not print black and text is missing from the photo - I cleaned the printheads three times. I found the 'helpline' inaccessible HP and am pretty much scream of rage and frustration. I don't understand why it will not be printed. Printing ink level indicator is not telling the truth because I replacead all the cartridges this morning and he said one of them is half empty! If I see another white page out of this printer I'll cry! I guess it's maybe that black ink nozzle is completely blocked - it's the only thing I can think. Other peoples encountered this problem? and Yes, I restarted, six times

  You both seem to have some problems with printing caused by your print quality.

  Suzyd (and I would like you to try this too, CPilenza), I recommend do you a similar process that is Cipelenza. I would like to open your machine and remove the cartridges and print heads. Then unplug your machine while it is still open. Then use a fluffy cloth (like a coffee filter) and little water to clean the contacts on the back of the printhead (the bumps in copper). Then clean the contacts inside the machine. So shut up and plug it / turn it on. Replace the printhead and cartridges in order ask the machine.

  Sometimes, if the print head is damaged, the part will be replaced.

  The two of you run this software to diagnose your hardware: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02762272

• HP Photosmart 5520: HP Photosmart 5520 suddenly will not print or scan

  Suddenly is no longer able to scan or print on HP Photosmart 5520. With the scan function I use scanning to e-mail, but, after long 'Preparation scanning' on the screen of the printer, the error message "temporarily unavailable.  "Please try again later". With the impression that I use Google Cloud Print (from an Acer Chromebook) and all that happens is that the demand to print everything ends up in a queue of print jobs.  No error message appears on the printer screen. The copy function works fine.  Wireless network printing results are very good.  The printer worked fine for over a year.  Can anyone help?  Thanks in advance.

  Thanks a lot for taking the time to answer.

  It's all very mysterious, but it seems to have corrected itself.  Finally, the 'out of paper' error message appeared yesterday (there were many), I pushed in the paper and things started to print again.  I was also able to rescan.  Not sure if she was no longer a problem of Google or what but we are in service again.

  Thank you very much!

• Help please! Photosmart HP 6510 does not print

  Thank you for taking the time to read this.

  I had my HP Photosmart for about 6 months and it has worked well in the past by for the last two months, I can't get anything to print.

  If I send something to print the printer icon jumps up and down (and does not), when I opened the icon, it says:

  Print "Mocrosoft Word-..."

  Connected to the printer

  and then NOTHING!

  The other day, I spit a page that had been sent to print a number of weeks, but that's all.

  I uninstalled and reinstalled and looked through all the forums, I will find but have had no joy.

  If anyone can help me I would appreciate it really - I'm a mature student and I have a number of essays due.

  Thank you very much

• HP Photosmart Plus B210a does not print Magenta

  Hello

  I have already posted in these forums about this, but no answers seem to solve my problem.

  Basically, my Photosmart B210 (who bought last October) does not Magenta print. I went through several cartrides real both HP and brand own PC World and Magenta print never to pages. The estimated ink levels show the Magenta levels accordingly well (full when it is new, empty when used etc.).

  I would like to know what steps I can take to resolve this problem, in addition to buying new cartridges (again!) and turn again and restore to factory settings - that did not work.

  Thanks for your help!

  When the unit will not print a single or multiple color, it is labeled as a print quality problem.

  You can find the steps to solve a problem of printing quality for B210a here.

  I hope this helps!

• Photosmart 6520 - envelope does not print

  I use Windows 7 and Microsoft Word.  Printing options are set to main tray and the envelope is correctly loaded in the center of the main tray.

  When asked to print, the result is an empty envelope.

  The same happens when I try to print the "envelope" on A4 paper in the main tray.  It seems that Word does not send print information.

  There are no other printing problems.

  Lanzaga salvation,

  Can you estimate the level of ink in its entirety for each cartridge, by looking at the gauge of printer ink?  See the Solution 5

  In Word, an envelope can be set to use a different color ink in the document.  What color is defined for envelopes?  You'll find this under Options , and then click fonts.

  Don't do the setting in Word to agree with the central location of the envelope Feed ?

  When the envelope is printed, the document must be set to print one sided and not print on both sides.

  Does that help?

• HP Photosmart 5520: Printer prints blank pages suddenly

  Yesterday, my printer decided that he would simply print blank pages with a black line in the middle. I did a test print via the configuration menu and it prints fine. My wife can print wireless. And until yesterday I had no problem.

  Looks like there is something wrong with the print on your Mac driver. To resolve this problem, we will need refresh your printing system and re - add the printer driver.

  Reset the printing system:

  To begin, I will have you reset the printing system on your Mac. Please click herefor instructions on how to perform the reset. When the site opens, follow the steps under"Reset printing in OS X Lion system" because the steps are the same for Mac OS X 10.10. This Reset deletes each printer on your Mac. However, it does not uninstall printers. Therefore, if use you other printers on the Mac, once the reset is complete simply make sure printers are attached via a USB cable or connected network and (+) add hide them po do add not your HP Photosmart back in right now.

  Once the reset is complete, proceed to the next step.

  Check and repair your Mac disk permissions:

  1. Open Macintosh HD and go to Applications
  2. Go to the Utilities folder
  3. Open disk utility
  4. Select the hard disk volume, you use (usually on the left)
  5. Select verify disk permissions
  6. Once this process is complete, select repair disk permissions

  Add device:
  1. click on the menu of Apple , then Preferences System.

  2. click on print and scan and then check if the name of your printer appears in the printer list.

  3. click on the name of your printer, click the sign minus (), then remove the printer.

  4. click on the plus sign (), click Add a printer or a Scanner, click the name of your printer.

  5. click on the area of use or with the help of Print and then select the name of your printer on the shortcut menu. Ensure that the driver of the HP Photosmart camera is selected.

  

  6. click Add to add the printer to the list. Do not add the AirPrint driver.
