HP photosmart 6510 won't print black.

I've done all the troubleshooting several times, still nothing.

When I print the printer status report, there are black square brackets around each colour, but not black rectangle in black space.  I tried to copy a printout (no color) and the page is blank.  I cleaned the black cartridge screen gently with a paper towel, still nothing.  I tried 2 new black cartridges.  Printer was working fine, then that.

I found a solution! My printer was also not print black, but I knew it wasn't a problem of ink because it was a new cartridge, I cleaned the print head with every suggestion I could find, and on the test pages it was printing black in square brackets the colored lines. It was a software problem.  Another post suggested using the drivers replacing for a paper size error. Please see the link below on how to choose replacement drivers...

I chose HP Photosmart 3300 drivers because this printer had similar features, including wireless printing. It worked! I hope this helps!

    If the first four solutions do not resolve the problem I would say soak the printhead as described in the post here before considering to replace the print head.

  • Photosmart C3150 won't print black

    I just put a new printer cartridges, both black and tricolor. Impression levels register as high, but the black ink will not print. I have had no error message. I did the troubleshooting thing where I cleaned the printheads 3 times, but he has not made a difference.

    I use a Mac with os x.

    ETA: Now I get a "low ink" message when I hit the "print" button, but only for black. It's a brand new ink cartridge from HP that I just installed two days earlier and used to print on a dozen pages! How can it be ink already?

  • 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!

I have cleaned the print heads, made the secondary allignment page clean, I tried, I turned off and he restared.  I plugged in a new point of sale, I cleaned the printer head and the cartridge. Nothing has worked.  Please help me.  The printer ran out of ink, I bought a new cartridge, I put it, it's what I've done for her.  I have a "genuine HP black ink cartridge 564.  It is not a recharged, refurbished, used, ect. ink, it's brand new.

    Sorry you have a problem with black print do not. This happens usually when the print heads are clogged, damaged, or damaged cartridges.

    You may have bought a bad cartridge. They are sometimes damaged right out of the packaging. It could also be the print head needs to be changed.
