HP Photosmart 7520 will be black printing ink ot

My photosmart 7520 quit printing black in the middle of a print job.   All cartridges except black needed changed.  I did this and no black printing.  Changed the black cartridge just in case.  No black printing.  I cleaned the connections of the electrode, cleaned the vent system, clean the cartridges twice, unplugged and then replugged it printer.  I need help!

Solved my problem!

After more research, from the homepage, I chose 'tools', then clean the print head (due do it twice) and then aligned on the printer and we are ready to go!

  • HP Photosmart 7520 will not be printed in b & W

    Hello

    My printer does not print in B & W - it still prints in color, even if I ask you to B & W. I am on Windows 8, tried to put the "print in grayscale" setting to all three options. When I request a print, the printer dialog box comes up and I can alternate color or B & W. The preview is switched between color and B & W. However, when I print, it always prints in color, no matter what I asked.

    Help, please.

    Thanks for the reply. I actually spent a good part of the day working on the question and I've finally solved (had not had the opportunity to update my post again). I reinstalled the software and also a USB connection for a wireless changed. It works fine now.

    Thank you.

  • Photosmart 7520 will not print on color construction paper.

    My Photosmart 7520 print text on color construction paper.  It feeds through the status bar, but does not print.

    Hey @JanMO,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    If you have a 7520 Photosmart all-in-one that doesn't seem to not want to print on color construction paper? Because the product is to feed the paper in the paper tray but isn't actually put ink on the page is does not seem to be a problem with the book itself and not filling not the management of specifications that your printer takes in charge for a type of paper.

    According to the specifications of 7520 Photosmart it can handle:

    • Types of media supported: Paper (brochure, inkjet, ordinary), photo paper, envelopes, labels, cards (greeting), transparent
    • Supported media formats: Letter, legal, 4 x 6, 5 x 7 in., 8 x 10, no. 10 envelopes
    • Recommended weight: 16-80 lbs.

    Plug Photosmart e-all-in-one printer 7520

    You know the exact weight of the construction paper?

    Your printer will print on other media, such as plain white paper or photo paper glossy with no problems?

    You could try to browse the next document in troubleshooting print quality, but please note that if your paper is not listed in the support media types, sizes or requirements of weight that you can do more harm to your printer.

  • Why my PhotoSmart 7520 uses color to print black text?

    I noticed when I print the page "Print diagnostic quality", the printer uses the color cartridges to print text in black instead of the black cartridge "pure".  It is a loss of the color of the inks.  How can I get the printer (7520) to use the black cartridge for all black text?

    Thank you

    JayTee007

    The diagnosis page uses a mixture of color and black inks to print the text on the page.  This is so that the diagnostic information can be read, even if the black part does not work.  The behavior on the page of diagnosis does not reflect how normal text is printed.

    Note that if the photo paper is selected in the selection of media the printer will use only the color inks and photo to print black same text as black pigmented ink is not compatible with photo paper.

  • HP Photosmart 7520 will not print envelopes

    My all-in-one HP Photosmart 7520 suddenly stopped printing of envelopes. I have already printed their but now they come out just to empty, and I have no idea why?

    Hi ronalds173,

    I would like to help.  You can answer a few questions?

    1. What color ink is supposed to be printed on the envelopes?
    2. Can you make a copy using this color ink?
    3. Can you print other documents using this color from the computer to the printer?
    4. Can you estimate the level of ink in its entirety for each cartridge, by looking at the gauge of printer ink?
    5. Either your connected usb, Ethernet wireless printer?
    6. What is the operating system for your computer?

    Hi @zam1290 , Welcome to the forums

    I have some links with a bit more in depth for you on using ink below the information. You can see the black photo used as the printer will use all the ink cartridges, even when printing in black. You could try changing your printing parameters for print in black ink only, and who could help!

  • Photosmart 7520: Limited Font Styles, prints gibberish to many fonts to Word

    The photosmart 7520 interpret only a few font styles.  Another everthing prints garbage: weird symbols, Arabic.  Included fonts styles can be extended?

    >... is there a way to solve problems and identify the problem?  I'm on wireless communication ...

    My expertise is with printer LaserJet, not inkjet devices;  and I know very little about the problems and wireless protocols.

    So I don't thtink I can provide much useful advice about it, sorry.

    > if I have send the document to the printer, it prints perfectly...

    I guess by that you are referring to the HP ePrint mechanism.

    Still, I'm not familiar with this, but if I understand correctly:

    • You send a document (only certain types are supported) to the e-mail address provided at hpeprint.com
    • Location Server turns your document to an equivalent printer format (i.e. effectively runs through a driver printer residing on this server).
    • Then the printer ready job is sent (not sure of the mechanism) of your device, via your internet router.

    So this may use a different driver on your premises and may also use a different route in your printer.

  • 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.

  • All-in-one Deskjet 3520: NO black printing ink...

    I'm very irritated right now. My printer is 3 weeks out of warranty. I just spent $ 60 + new ink cartridges today. The color cartridges are working well, but the black ink does not work. The printer acts like it is printing, but nothing appears on the paper. I see many people with this problem on this forum and other forums. I called technical support... went through an hour of "Troubleshooting" and then was disconnected. Recalled and waited 45 minutes for someone else to tell me that he would sell me another printer for $100 + y including some startup ink cartridges which only last me a very long time. I JUST bought $60 in the ink cartridges today. I tried to remove the print head with no luck. I can't take the printer apart to remove the print head. I was going to try to clean it myself, but it is impossible to disassemble the thing.

    I am EXTREMELY displeased with the the customer service of hp and the feeling that they must save their product when it stops working just 3 weeks after the expiration of the warranty. I would be delighted if someone could tell me how I can solve this problem, since the printer is in condition basically new and has new ink.

    It is regrettable that these products are not made to last more than a year. I will not buy another hp product.

    Called customer service. They send a new printer.

    Thanks for the info.

  • HP C3100 that while a black printer ink 92 drys out cartridge or malfunctions between print jobs

    Hi, my C3100 of HP all-in-One printer works very well with a black ink cartridge new 92. Once I have do not use the printer for a while, maybe a few months, it will not print. I use the printer as a standalone Copier right now. The cartridge has printed perhaps only ten pages and now it's not even a hint of ink on paper. This has happened since the purchase of the printer/copier and we had to replace the ink cartridge every time. This isn't a software problem I use the stand alone unit. I am convinced that if I install another new cartridge 92 unit will print. How can I keep the ink don't dry out, if that's even the problem? Why the ink must be dry? Should I get another type of printer for limited use? Never heard talk about the ink dry before. Please respond as I want to copy something but I'm tired of having to install a new ink cartridge in order to. Thank you for your help.

    @ jsklein - here is a link you might find useful dealing with storage and handling of the cartridges. It will focus on the best way to keep cartridges don't dry out. I hope this helps.

  • HP Photosmart 6515 will not be printed on both sides in Mac OS 10.9

    Before I upgraded my MacBook Pro to OS 10.9 Mavericks, my 6515 Photosmart offered automatic duplex printing. In MS Word, Page Setup offered the option double-sided letter-size paper and the print dialog box offered two back. Now that the option does not appear anywhere. Is it a Mac problem, a problem of HP or Microsoft problem? I downloaded and installed the latest driver for Mac OS 10.9 HP is there anything else I can do to get back on the duplex printing option?

    Hello
    Please follow the steps below to automatically print double-sided print jobs:

    On the file menu, select print. The print window is displayed.
    NOTE: The print window might be minimized. Click Show details to see all the available parameters.

    Click on the area of selection below, listed as the name of the program (e.g. TextEdit)

    Will appear as Copies & Pages within Microsoft Office applications.

    Select layout from the drop-down.

    Set the duplex as the binding edge Long (Portrait) or binding Long Edge (landscape).

    You can save the settings for later use by clicking preset > save current settings as preset. By default, a used preset will remain until another preset will be used.

    Kind regards
