HP Photosmart B210 using iPad or Windows 7 computer laptop not printing black

My husband uses this machine almost every day. The other day, he got an indicator he was more black ink and after having changed the cartridge (which we all have two made more successfully during the past two years) black will still not print. He cleaned the printhead and unplugged the unit and plugged in. He tried three different, all cartridges HP, with two of them coming from different packages sold in different shops. (He suspects that a package of three cartridges was defective, after two of them did not work).

All the tips under "buy a new unit on Black Friday?

Can't get black print on Photosmart B210. Followed the instructions for the cartridge door of washing in VERY hot water and let soak for 5 minutes. I then cleaned cartridges twice and hey presto it worked perfectly. I was ready to ditch the printer. I would add that I am 83 years old but was able to follow the instructions of a useful post.

  • OfficeJet 6500 has windows 7 Pro, does not print black

    Black is not printing, the colors are OK.    Changed the black cartridge for a new a (genuine HP!), no change.   Checked inserted cartridge etc OK.

    Tried to open the screen of the wizard to do the alignment, cleans the heads but had the same problem mentioned on another post, the assistant is beyond.

    Tried the update of the software 710z, but does not connect via USB.     I know that the cable is OK and printer, Windows gave the found new software message.

    Went to the HPPIW. EXE installation method, it is OK, but returned to 710f version.   Not cleaned heads and alignment no impression always on black background.     Tried the diagnosis HPPSdr who told me there is a problem of driver incompatibility.    Deleted the entry of control panel of configuration/printers, uninstalled, rebooted and reinstalled, same problem.

    In short, impossible to get 710z to connect via USB.   710f tells me that I have a driver incompatibility.  And does not print the problem original, black.

    In my view, that covers, all more than welcome advice, this machine is in a store of cats protection Chrity and we desperately need it works again!

    Thanks for the advice, given that the machine is under warranty, contact HP and were sent to a replacement machine which works AOK.

  • What is the right configuration of the port for my Photosmart C6180 using 32-bit Windows 8?

    Hi all

    I have a HP Photosmart C6180. I recently changed to Windows 8 32-bit. I downloaded the HP Windows 8 drivers, but I still have problems with the printer. In Control Panel, the printer status says "error".  I think that it could possibly be a problem with the printer port settings. So, my question is, what is the right configuration of the port for my Photosmart C6180 using 32-bit Windows 8?

    I would greatly appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks, JoeRocket

  • 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!

  • HP Photosmart Premium C309g do not print black ink

    Hello

    My HP Photosmart Premium C309g (CD055A) will not print black ink even if the cartridge is full. He's going through the motions of printing but the pages come out blank. It prints colors, they are not as dark as before, so I know that black is not working. I have cleaned the print heads, turned off the printer, unplug the printer, restarted the computer, but nothing works. I get colors on the report of the print quality, but the printer status report comes out blank. I bought a new black ink cartridge (564XL) think the previous one was defective (levels showed a 75% ink) but I still have the same problem. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Hey,.

    I see you have done some troubleshooting on the issue of the print quality that you are experiencing.  I would make sure you did all the troubleshooting steps available for your research problem in the document following the link.

    Print colors are the colors should not when the C309 Photosmart Premium printing.

    If you have completed all these steps, then I check the status of your printer warranty.  If it is out of warranty, you should consider the solution provided by Bob_Headrick in the thread found here.

    Hope this helps,

  • 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.

  • 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 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.
