HP photosmart Plus B210 series - prints blank pages

• HP Photosmart Plus B210 Series does NOT print black

  I use Windows 7 to print to the printer HP Photosmart Plus B210 Series. The black cartridge has been listed as half full, but I installed a new black cartridge with no improvement. I selected the clean and align the print head, but the printer prints only the color inks and not black. I checked the vent of the cartridge on the black ink cartridge, and it is clear.

  Any suggestions?

  I have completed the troubleshooting steps and nothing fixed the problem. I even followed the instructions for soaking the printhead for 10 minutes in hot water. I guess that the printhead has gone bad and needs replaced. Thanks for your help.

• HP Photosmart Plus B210 Series new magenta ink cartridge prints do not at all

  First of all, I had a problem with my cyan ink on my printer HP Photosmart B210 series. The problem was that he was not the impression and he says it wasn't printing because of the cartridge and also I had to align my cartridges. Whenever I tried to align the cartridges he says that alignment does not so I ended up trying to align them so much that I have exhausted all my ink and went out to buy all new cartridges.

  When I installed new cartridges and tried to line up once again, they all worked perfectly, but when I went to print a photo, the magenta was not yet appear. I did another test called 'Print diagnostic Information' and the magenta box is completely blank 100%. When I went to see the "estimated ink levels" he said it was perfectly fine. I tried to print a picture of a square while magenta box and the printed page was completely empty.

  Basically... How can I get my printer to recognize the new magenta cartridge because it is not currently.

  I'd say running up to three cycles of cleaning the printer before driver or Panel box tools.  If this doesn't get the magenta, then you can try soak the print head, as described here.

  [edit] Know that the ink gauge is probably not at this point clear - especially the printer like that it has printed pages of magenta at this stage, while the ink is still in the cartridge.  The ink gauge will indicate less ink cartridges is actaully available.

• HP Photosmart Plus B210 series

  Suddenly, my printer has stopped printing in black ink.  The cartridge is full.  It's already happened and I just cleaned everything and it started working again.  This time, I cleaned it again, it printed one page and then arrested again to print.  I cleaned it again and it will not print black ink.  I cleaned the print heads and tried to re-aligned with the printer.  The alignment fails every time.  What has something to do with it not printing black ink?  It doesn't make sense to me that this issue would be part of the problem, but maybe it is.

  All my color cartridges are out of ink.  This has something to do with the problem of it not not printing black ink?  That does make sense to me either.  If this is the problem, then I'll spend money for the color of the ink.  Printers frustrate me beyond words.  They simply stop without apparent reason.

  Would appreciate any help I can get.

  Hello Catstuder,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I understand your frustration and want to shed some light on why the guard alignment fails and why you do not get all black on your thoughts even if you have a totally black cartridge installed.

  1. in the printer to print control and alignment to pass, it takes all cartridges to be installed in the B210. You can print in black ink only, but the printer will still use the ink contained in the cartridges of color for maintenance tasks. It takes little ink from all cartridges in the service of the print head and avoid any clogging.

  2. with the printers ink system, it only does not use black ink even though you can choose to print in black ink only. Have a look here: use of inkjet printers ink.

  I propose to replace the color cartridges, and I am sure that you will have no problem. If you want to print in black ink only, take a look at the steps below:

  1. in your software application, click print.

  2. Select your printer in the list of available printers.

  3. click on the option opens the printer properties dialog box. According to your application software, this option could be called printer properties, Options, Configure the printer, printer, or Preferences.

  4. click on the features tab, click the Grayscale dropdown menu and then click on black ink only.

  5. click OKand then click print to start printing.

  I hope this has been helpful, if you have more questions please let me know!

  I found this informative information here:a 'ink alert' or "Low on ink" Message appears on the computer or the printer control panel

• HP Photosmart C4795 of only printing blank pages - including the test page.

  I have a Macbook Pro IOS 10.7.5.

  WARNING - I have had this printer for about 2 years and it is literally never worked for me. I finally gave up and its been sitting in a closet. I really need to be able to print at home again this is why I'm asking now.

  I have tried all troubleshooting ideas given to me by the HP site and nothing works.

  The printer behaves like its printing but springs from the white pages, including the test page. I connect via a USB port, so I'll make sure that I had a strong connection. I have new black and color ink cartridges.

  Help, please!

  I would check the printer without connecting to a computer first.
  Do not copy work? If copy does not ink on paper, you can be dead cartridges or blocked. There is an option in the menu Tools 'cleaning print head', if that is not printed a page, the cartridges don't work.

• Photosmart HP B210a more: HP Photosmart Plus B210 missing Scan software

  Hi all

  OK, Ive problems (two hacks, printer malfunctions, 1 disk repair, etc. over the past months) my Mac for the last two days, I restored Mac OSX 10.10.4 successfully and everything is well save for my printer as indicated above. I didn't know the usefulness was eliminated when I upgraded to Yosemite and it was hogging my CPU with a processing loop that was killing my Mac (I call her Alice!...)). So, I did get them all today my research on what went wrong with these processes which lead me to upgrade drivers Max OSX Yosemite and tried troubleshooting through:

  (a) installation of printers, their uninstall through the system preferences/printers and Scanners to verify that the drivers are there, I installed via the using field list driver HP Photosmart Plus B210, who can confirm print successfully without any trail of CPU (I uninstalled the HP before this point utility).

  (b) tried to get into the system preferences/printers and Scanners / where I chose "Scan" in the window of the printer and it says "SCAN SOFTWARE does IS NOT INSTALLED" (see attached printer screen)

  

  (c) I installed the driver in the development of window for HP Photosmart Plus b210 series that SHOULD allow the printer and scanner to work from my window System Preferences/printers and Scanners, I've lived more troubleshooting try to import a scan of the system of preferences/Applications/Image Capture and preview also. The two scan attempts to import sent the same message, lack of scan software when I tried via the printers & Scanner on System Preferences window.

  So frustrasting as she is, I set up a test on the printer to use the port MMC to scan an image of the window of the printer to the MMC card, that I inserted in the printer and it worked to prove that the software of the printer works on scan, but not directly with my Mac. Printing software is confirmed later, brings back me to my Mac and his missing scan software.

  This seems to be missing and appropriate drivers that should make the impression (works fine, no trail of CPU as before) as well as scanning (missing software problem). Does anyone know how I can fix this and if I need to download software drivers or anything please provide your console if necessary with links to what I need...

  Thank you all... I should have logged at noon instead of 4.30... I just might have gotten something else after you fix this problem...

  Try to update the software by following these steps:

  Click on the Apple icon, then select about this Mac.
  Click software update, and then click the Store from the top of the indicated window menu and click on reload the Page.

  Be sure to install any update HP or Apple, then check for the difference.

• Photosmart Plus b210 - intermittent wireless printing problem

  Hello world

  I'm new to this forum so I appologise if I'm a little ditsy...

  I just bought a Photosmart Plus b210 and have successfully connect it wirelessly to my iMac. However, since I got it, I had a problem when trying to print wireless from it.

  When I try to print from my iMac, it will open the print job request and it will say 'sign in' at the start, but then she stays like that for about a minute or two before, it says that there is an error. At this point, I have to cancel the work because he'll just try again and give me the same result.

  I found the only time wherever it prints is when he says "connecting" then after a few seconds it will say 'inactive' and only then it will actually print. So what I'm basically doing print, wait a few seconds, if there is no 'inactive' message I'll cancel the job and reprint the document, and follow this process until I see a notification "inactive." Once I am successfully able to print a job, it will allow me to print documents more first time but it is frustrating that I have to go through this lengthy process everytime I turn on my printer.

  Someone at - it from similar solutions/experiences?

  Thank you

  We will set an IP address of the printer:

  -Print a the front of the printer Network Setup Page. Note the IP address of the printer.
  -Enter the IP address in a browser to reveal the internal settings of the printer.
  -Choose the network tab, then wireless along the left side, then on the IPv4 tab.
  -On this screen, you want to set a manual IP address. You must assign an IP address outside the range that the router sets automatically (called the DHCP range). Apple is 10.0.1.2 a.200 use 10.0.1.220 for your printer.
  -Apply the subnet 255.255.255.0 (unless you know it's different, if so, use it)
  -Enter the IP of your router (on the Page of the Network Config) for the bridge and the first DNS. Let the second white.
  -Click 'apply '.

  Now, stop the router and printer, start the router, wait, and then start printing.

  After that, you will have to redo 'Add printer' using the new IP address.

• Photosmart 6510: photosmart 6510 prints blank pages

  Printer was working fine.  Had to change the cartridge. First of all, I didn't have black and now I don't have much color either.  The printer says I had no real HP though now it shows that I do. I never bought my cartridges anywhere but the staples.  Printing October 2012 have changed many cartridges before you buy.  Followed everything I could find.  Still not printing.

If you want to say thanks for my effort to help, click on the 'Thumbs Up' to give me a Kudos.

  Please, try the following steps to see if it will help solve the problem.

  If the problem persists, perform a power reset. A alphanumeric Code (example: ' 0 x 'r' C2...) ") displays on the front panel when printing. Do not take into account the title.

  This model has a permanent print head, this video shows you how to access the print head, so you can manually clean the printer and soak the printhead, it's my own personal recommendation, not one of HPs, is to use the solution proposed in the following videos.  I suggest only doing this if the printer is out of warranty.

  Once you get to the clock at 3:20 minutes, you can stop this video.

  This video is for a different model but it will provide the steps to move the print head and cleaning, also if you continue the video it will provide measures to remove the print head and soaking. Play video 01:24 minutes. HP 5510 will not print black and color - print head removed and cleaned.

  If you have completed all the above steps and your product still has a problem, service the product.

  I hope this helps. Let me know how make you out. Thank you.

• Photosmart Plus B210 do not print the Photo - Vista and 7 - USB tray and wireless

  Experts!  Help, please!  HP support by phone could not find a solution.

  I bought a new Photosmart Plus B210 last month.  I am a moderately advanced computer user and have not been able to print a picture of this printer, EXCEPT when printing directly from a card inserted into the machine.

  I installed the printer on two laptops, one running Vista, the other running Windows 7.

  The problem persists if printing wireless or USB.

  The printer works perfectly as this major problem.

  Thanks in advance for your help.  If I can't make this work, I'll have to return this printer and will likely purchase another brand.

  Carrie

  First of all, in vista - please turn off the printer, restart your pc and to clean the print queue and turn on the printer.

  Now, make sure you select the exect for the tray paper size, that the same for the type of paper and size when printing... now see if there is a difference.

  What about win7 - what do you want to see exectly? the option is grayed out? You may see other options to select related to it?
