HP Photosmart C4440: change ink cartridges

I have not used this printer for some time but it is like new. I need new cartridges of ink but only bought 2 "sort-clour. I replaced the one clour but left the "black only" cartridge dock empty. Am I right in assuming that I need replaced as well? The power light blinks and the screen reads "print cartidge (s) missing or not detected. Can I use the other color cartridge?

  • Change ink cartridges CN216A Photosmart Plus B210

    Ink cartridges carriage does not come to the center when I lift the cover if I put in new cartridges.

    However, the fact printer print and copy, for transport of cartridge works for printing.  Help!

    Hello Shorty944and welcome to the Forums of HP!

    I see that you have issues with your transport movement, but only when changing cartridges. I would like to help with that today.

    I suggest you 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.

    "I suggest also running through the steps described in this document on 'traffic Jam' or ' 0X610000F6" Message appears on the control panel, just in case there is a problem with the transport catch or delaying its movement.

    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting operations. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  • Photosmart 5520 black ink cartridge not working not

    I have the same problemwith Photosmart 5520, black ink, it's not working

    A few hours ago, I bought a new cartridge. Because the return, we were out of ink and... I changed (for the second time since I bought the printer) and after that... the printer does not print black ink more.  I bought the printer at ElGiganten, Copenhagen, Denmark. I wasn't expecting to find unwanted product on the market, the Danmark. I wasn't expecting HP to deceive people so much. I checked here on the site if the printer, it's still in warranty... not even an answer. So I spend almost 5 hours to check all the * solutions * I try, the printer still give me blank pages.

    The ink on the new cartridge is now... 45% or something. How his as possible! If the pages came out completely of white100 euro, in the trash, past time for anything on this site/forum... I do not understand how you are allowed to sell bad products on the market.

    For HP, you have deceived many people including me, I hope you will take away from the market, at least to the Danmark.

  • Photosmart 7510 - black ink cartridge does not print

    Recently, I replaced the ink cartridges on my Photosmart 7510 C311A. These are all the "genuine HP cartridges ', full.

    Black ink (with the symbol of the Pentagon) does not print, not at all. I ran through the standard troubleshooting steps:

    Cleaning of printheads

    Cleaning of copper contacts

    * Check for a good evacuation

    My colleague in the corridor as the printer even so I borrowed his black ink cartridge and tried: same problem. The printer does not record that there is a problem, but when I run printing tests, where there should be a black ink, there is absolutely none. All other colors print correctly.

    The printer doesn't lack NOT of the printer "align" test however does not offer a suggestion of what to do from there. I've not seen - in test reports - an indiciation of the misalignment.

    Suggestions on what to do now?

    I had the same problem. I had replaced the empty cartridge black and suddenly, no ink. Finally, what has worked is
    (1) I removed all the cartridges and cleaned the copper connectors with wet Publix.
    (2) I got a wet paper towel and he pressed repeatedly on the silver circular vent that would be under the black cartridge. I did until no black came. Let it dry.
    (3) I replaced all the cartridges and on the printer. I went to tools/clean the cartridge. I did it a couple of times and he finally printed black ink! I confirmed by going to tools/align, and align the cartridges successfully. He had kept before crashes when the black ink did not work.

  • Not compatible HP Photosmart C4480 printer ink cartridge

    HI - first time here - I have a HP Photosmart C4480 printer and have recently installed a new black ink cartridge - genuine HP 350XL - bought in Tesco and already used a few times.  I printed a page today, and when I went to another printing, the printer says that the cartridge was incompatible.  I had not touched the printer between the prints. I tried out both cartridges and resettlement but still get the same message.  Also tried to turn again printer.

    I could understand if there was a problem with the cartridge and it was rejected as soon as I installed, but does not understand why this happens between the printing of pages.

    Any help would be appreciated

  • Photosmart 7520: hp photosmart 7520 yellow ink cartridge will not in (pop out of space)

    I tried to install two different new HP 564 XL yellow ink cartridge in my Photosmart 7520. They arise constantly from their slots. I managed with the magenta cartridge that is similar, but the yolks do not remain in place. What is the solution?

    Hi Rebmark, I did some research and found a troubleshooting page that describes some steps that might solve this problem.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/HP-Photosmart-7520-e-all-in-one-printer-series/5199461/document/c02944025

    Step #9 may be the answer you're looking for. When the ink cartridges is not properly connected, it can help try gently bending the cartridge tab try to avoid to bend this tab over a half inch, as it could damage the cartridge.

    I hope this helps, but let me know if you're still having problems!

  • Change ink cartridges (question on installation)

    It's a pretty basic question, but since I have never changed a cartridge before, is there something I need to do before introducing a new black cartridge, I received a message saying that he was weak. Can I just install it, or do I have to unplug the printer and the USB cord or what. Thanks in advance. ~ ~ Sandie

    What printer model?  Generally, you must have the printer plugged in and turned, and then open the cover.  After a few seconds, the cartridges should be released to change, either moving to the Centre for access, or free access to the right or the left.  It is not necessary or desirable to unplug the USB cable.

    Note that for most models the low ink indicator is a warning that the ink is exhausted, you don't need to actually change the cartridge until the print quality begins to suffer.

  • Photosmart B010 black ink cartridge not working not not after replacing

    I print color but not black after the replacement of the cartridge. What can I do?

    Hi glennbelgium,

    I have linked a document with good to take troubleshooting steps.  Click here  The name of this document is not exactly on the point, but the steps are on point.  I could start by checking that you do not have low ink cartridges and replace those who are weak.  When you get to the step to clean the printhead , I'd do this process 2 or 3 times if necessary.

    Let me know how it goes.

    Good luck!
