My estimated black ink gauge says it is almost full. Can some help me?

   I have down loaded new updates and now my ink as been solved problem.

• Photosmart 7520: Must the Photosmart HP 7520 TWO black ink cartridges (complete and installed) to work?

  Hello

  I read a few threads where people are struggling with the question of black ink with this printer. These threads, it seems clear that HP didn't design this system very well, and I would tend to agree. Even if someone said I could find the cartridge (bowtie) smaller at Staples, I can't find it. Even if I could find it, I don't want to have 2 kinds of ink black to store all the time. And my printer does not print black with only a new XL Black 564 installed. Is there a setting I'm missing in the menu where I can choose the XL cartridge only? The manual is not clear on this, and I think it's something that should be clearly explained.

  My question is simple, and please, one who answers, read my questions and do not provide a generic incomplete response and then put a little check mark 'Resolved' next to this problem. With 3 wires, that I read on this subject, the question NOT yet resolved or fully explained.

  The printer may be used and black printing using only the right XL cartridge or do I need to have both complete and installed black cartridges to work? And a follow-up, the left cartridge (bowtie) should stay there so he works or can I remove it and keep filling the cartridge XL to go forward with the empty to the left slot. If you work for HP and you are reading this and 100% do not know the answer... call someone at HP who has designed this printer and know please let me know.

  Thank you!

  The printer requires all cartridges having ink - they don't need to be full, but they all need to be installed and have adequate ink.  The thick black cartridge is pigmented black, mainly used for text and graphics on paper.  Thinner bowtie is the photo cartridge.  It contains dye black ink based and is designed for printing on photo paper.  Black pigmented ink is not compatible with the glossy photo media, black of the photo will be used in cases where the photo paper is selected in the driver or detected automatically.

  The Photosmart 7520 has separated from the inks and printheads, with plumbing to connect.  All inks must be present to prevent air intake in the plumbing or the print heads and keep the printheads from clogging.  See here for more information on using ink.

• PHOTOSMART HOW MORE: abandoned black ink cartridges

  HP 564 ink which is a black ink double size is no longer available. This printer takes only the size and the printer was not cheap and now I find that I have to buy a new printer because the cartridge is made is no longer. Make sure that I won't buy HP again.

  What is the reference number of the cartridge you bought?  Is it the same size as the color cartridge?  The cartridge Photo (either standard or XL) is the same size as the standard color cartridge, it does not work like a black cartridge.  The document here can help.  Your printer uses four cartridges, as shown in Figure 1, the black cartridge is on the right side and a Pentagon black symboll on the cartridge.  Figure 2 shows a printers using the smaller cartridge of the photo (the one on the left with the symbol of the butterfly).

  Your b209 Photosmart Plus printer DO NOT use the photo cartridge (whatever the size of the color cartridge), you need a Black cartridge.

• 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?

• Photosmart C5380 printer printing black ink despite a full ink cartridge impossible

  I have a printer all-in - One Photosmart C5380 suddenly can't print in black ink, even if the ink cartridge was half full.  I swapped in a new black ink cartridge and did a test printer.  The test of the printer has failed since no black ink that stood on the print.  I cleaned the printerhead via the screen of the printer as well and that did not help. I currently have a PC with Windows Vista.  Any ideas what my problem could be?

  Thank you!

  Make sure that the ventilation openings are clear as in Solution 6, step 3 of this document (for another model, but same principle).  If that doesn't help not post here can help solve the problem.

  I replaced all 4 cartridges in my printer and tried to print a form, but the black ink is not printing.

It's the first time that I had to replace my cartridges (remained originals in French - printer was purchased in December). I've never had problems before printing. Please help... desperately need my printer to work!

• Re: HP Photosmart 6520 printer. Black ink will not print. Other OK. Tried the new cartridge and same problem

  I'm having the same problem. I ran the cleaning steps. I tried to lead the cartridges. I bought 2 black cartridges and both do not work. I've even used up my color ones do all the tests. Help please. I need my printer for school!

  Hi @ginim,

  Welcome to the HP Forums. I understand your printer is not printing black ink, and I would like to help. Please start with the procedure described in the following document; Printer prints a blank Page or do not print black or color ink for the HP Deskjet Ink Advantage year...

  If you have performed all the steps in the document above and the problem persists, not one of HPs, my personal recommendation is to use the solution put forward in the next video.  I suggest you only do this if the printer is out of warranty; How to fix an HP, not for printing black ink and lack of color printer

  In view of the comments, it seems that this will help you

  Even if the printer is maybe more under warranty, if the problem persists, HP may be able to offer something. Perhaps, they may offer you a discount on another model. What you can do, is to use the following link to create yourself a file number, then call and it can help to expedite the appeal process:

  Step 1. Open the link: www.hp.com/contacthp/
  Step 2. Enter the product number or select Auto detection
  Step 3. Scroll up to "still need help? Fill out the form to select your contact options.
  Step 4. Scroll down and click on: contact HP options - click Get phone number

  File number and phone number are displayed.

  Since you just bought the printer you need to know, HP printers usually have a warranty of 1 year from the date of purchase, you can check the warranty using the following if you wish; Guarantee cheque.

  I hope this helps.

  If this resolves the issue, please let me know if we can help others who may be faced with the same problem.

• Photosmart 5515 does no black ink print

  Not printing in black at all.  Full set of new ink cartridges.  Warranty is just exhausted.

  I've tried everything here

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03425035

  like everyone else I had read had this problem. No change.

  Any help out there?

  Seem to have solved.

  It was a clogged print head - probably due to the ink drying during the period of non-use.  Cleaning process all waste ink without much effect.

  Print head is not removable so manual cleaning is tricky.  Just wipe the filter did nothing.

  At the end of the day, slipped a piece of kitchen under the print head roll (it has a Groove where it will adapt and you roll the head top) folded.

  Removed the rubber around the offending ink filter washer.

  Slipped a long and tight fitting top pen top instead (felt tip seems best - but open at both ends, one tube, is what it takes, and it must be a tight fit).

  Refill pen with mouthwash (appropriate cleaning fluids are available, alcohol is the key it seems).

  Breath down on pen force the liquid through the printhead on paper towel.

  Printed later, but took a few prints to become completely clear.  It is time that clean the printhead automated may operate.

• problem of black ink HP photosmart printer

  I have a printer HP photosmart B110a and the black ink cartridge will not print. I tried replacing, switching works etc, but cannot make it work. This looks like a common problem from what I see on the forums. I'm very fed up with this problem. Can anyone help?

  Did you get an improvement for all after letting soak the printhead? Have you checked the evacuation on the cartridge area to see if it is clogged?

  1. If the duct is blocked, use a straight pin to gently remove the excess glue from the vent.
