HP6520 ALL IN ONE PRINTER: BLACK INK WILL NOT PRINT

I TRIED ALL THE PROPOSED SOLUTIONS.  NO WORK FOR ME.  I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO RUN THE CLEAN CARTRIDGE HEADS.  SAME RESULT (WASTED A LOT OF VERY EXPENSIVE INK IN THE PROCESS).  ANOTHER USER HAS SUGGESTED TO USE SOLVENT TO CLEAN A CLOGGED INKJET PORT.  I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE REPRESENTATIVE HP APPROVED THAT.  THE PAGE OF DIAGNOSIS THAT PRINTS AFTER HAVING CARRIED OUT THE SYSTEMATIC CLEANING HEAD PRINT BLACK TEXT, BUT THE BOX FOR BLACK PRINTING IS TOTALLY WHITE.  IS THERE ANOTHER SOLUTION TO TRY?  Help!

The printhead on the HP Photosmart 6520 is not designed to be removable by the user.  While you can find messages with information on the withdrawal of the printhead for soaking, it's really not recommended.  If you decide to do this don't forget to read the entire thread, these discussions often end with a printer damaged due to damage or damage to the encoder system, electrical connectors which can make the printer unusable.

You may have already taken the steps of troubleshooting in the paper here, if not go through each of them in order.  Check the vents on the black print cartridge and that it sits correctly.

If the above does not solve the problem you could try manually to clean the printhead, as described in the post here for a different but similar printer.

Note that the printer uses a mixture of color and black inks to print a diagnostic page.  This is so that the information can be read even if black or one or more colors do not work.  Although it may seem from this page your black works that is unfortunately not.  You can simulate this by selecting "Photo paper", as the media type in the driver, it would force the printer to use the same color ink to print black text.

  • HP Deskjet all-in-one: HP Deskjet 3520 will not print black, period

    OK, I've lost my WHOLE day, searched forums, has done what others have tried, poste posted HP Facebook, doing whatever is humanly possible to get my printer to print in black. I ran the clean printhead, black ink changed TWICE new cartridges, reloaded drivers, reset the default open to the top of the printer and tried to manually clean the head after only 4 hours to do everything I can possibly do to get this junk to print in black. The printer is only a year old and the cartridges are freshly bought from the store. So, tell me what am I missing or is the printer ready to be stoned?

    Hi @ChrisBird,

    Welcome to the HP Forums

    Looks like you've covered most of the steps, but I will propose always to have a look through this document printer prints blank Page or not printing black or color ink for HP Deskjet Ink Advantage and Deskjet 3520 e-all-in-one printer series to ensure that you have verified that the event on both cartridges.

    If this does not help still nothing and will not always be the black print, please call our technical support team and request a replacement printer. At THAT TIME, regardless of the warranty, they should be able to establish that the replacement for you. Otherwise, let me know and I'll do my best to help you with a resolution.

    The pleasure of you talk to soon!

  • Nine D110b. Installed the cartridges supplied. Black ink will not print on paper, color OK.

    I just opened and installed the new all-in-one printer of D110b. only the color cartridge is printing on the page.  Using this with an iMac OSX running.  Do you have the utility printer cleaning of the printheads through step 3, but no change.  Audit of the use of ink and black ink is expressed.  But where is it placed?  Please help as soon as POSSIBLE.  Thank you.  (Since this is a new printer, you would think that HP help for free - no luck.)

    I called HP hotline and they get my cartridge black to finally work.  It turns out that the ink inside, since it had been sitting for about a year, has been a bit lazy, and he had to be convinced to enter the tube and print on paper.  Thanks for your suggestions.

    Hello

    Sorry, but the printer is not supported on Windows Vista 64-bit.

    64-bit support is only available in Windows 7 or later operating systems.

    You can find the printer specs below:

    Vista 64-bit is not supported.

    You must upgrade your operating system to a later version to use instead an OS 64 - bit, Windows Vista 32 - bit to insall or replace it with another printer, compatible with your operating system.

    Printer all-in-one Photosmart C310 just quit printing black ink cartridge.  I followed all the suggestions on help/support pages, including cleaning the contacts on the cartridge and print head (I do not soak the print head); making sure that nothing has been blocked; Unplug the printer for the moment came and reset; put in a new ink cartridge (the printer when it stopped printing in black, was still full of 1/3 to 1/2, according to the levels shown on the printer).

    It prints than a very altered, unreadable copy.

    I had this same problem about a year ago and find a solution on this web site, but cannot find anything about it now except for cleaning the heads, reset or to install a new cartridge.

    I tried to access this particular response from my old e-mail, but it is not related to whatever it is that has tackled the problem last year.  I desperately need this printer going again, please help.

    Thanks for CAhpUSER respondent

    I didn't really picture for help, but I will do my best to clarify what I can! This document 'Print head problem' or "Print head seems to be missing or corrupt" Message appears on the computer is some visuals that will make things clear with my explanation below!

    The part you are diving into the water is the ink nozzles. When the instructions say do not touch the ink nozzles, that means with the fingers/hands. It says to make sure that you use a fluffy towel/no paper to wipe the print head, so don't put fats from your contact with her skin. The electrical contacts are the part of the print faces head that looks like the back of the printer, just in some places grouped copper.

    I hope this helps clear things upwards a bit for you

  • Re: HP Photosmart 6520 printer. Black ink will not print. Other OK. Tried the new cartridge and same problem

    Hi @ginim,

    Welcome to the HP Forums. I understand your printer is not printing black ink, and I would like to help. Please start with the procedure described in the following document; Printer prints a blank Page or do not print black or color ink for the HP Deskjet Ink Advantage year...

    If you have performed all the steps in the document above and the problem persists, not one of HPs, my personal recommendation is to use the solution put forward in the next video.  I suggest you only do this if the printer is out of warranty; How to fix an HP, not for printing black ink and lack of color printer

    In view of the comments, it seems that this will help you

    Even if the printer is maybe more under warranty, if the problem persists, HP may be able to offer something. Perhaps, they may offer you a discount on another model. What you can do, is to use the following link to create yourself a file number, then call and it can help to expedite the appeal process:

    Step 1. Open the link: www.hp.com/contacthp/
    Step 2. Enter the product number or select Auto detection
    Step 3. Scroll up to "still need help? Fill out the form to select your contact options.
    Step 4. Scroll down and click on: contact HP options - click Get phone number

    File number and phone number are displayed.

    Since you just bought the printer you need to know, HP printers usually have a warranty of 1 year from the date of purchase, you can check the warranty using the following if you wish; Guarantee cheque.

    I hope this helps.

    If this resolves the issue, please let me know if we can help others who may be faced with the same problem.

  • Black ink will not print on Photosmart Premium C309a

    The printer works fine until last night.  The last printed page has been very weak, couldn't read.  Black ink levels are fine and still print color ink.  I ran HP diagnostic test and it said that there is nothing wrong with the printer.  Any suggestions?

    Found a link to another post in the forums with the same title as this one.  Follow the instructions to remove the print head and cleaning and soaking in hot water.  After 5 minutes of cleaning and rinsing all works well now.  Ignore the post above about changing the color settings in the printer preferences.

  • Black ink will not print

    I ran my V305 printer black ink cartridge dry and then replaced by the Dell Series 9 cartridge.  He ran to the alignment page, but no black ink printed and I got the 'alignment error remove tape' message.  The display shows that the cartridge is full.  Thought maybe it was a faulty cartridge, so I installed a whole new other black print cartridge.  The same problem.  Can I do to solve this problem?  Anne

    Anne,

    If you unplug the printer from the wall and remove the brick of power for 60 seconds, this will reset the error messages that the printer. I would then plug everything back in.

    Turn on the printer.

    Open the printer (power on) and remove the Dell Series 9 black cartridge and then reinstall it. I then remove the Dell Series 9 color cartridge and reinstall it. Now, close the printer, and it will print an alignment page.

    Error messages?

    Print Cartridge black = Black (left) cartridge = color (right side)

    photo cartridge = cartridge black (left side) = color (right side)

    Dell Series 9 ink cartridges have a sensor to them that cannot be reset. Article on Dell ink cartridges filling.

    Dell Series 9 ink cartridges can be purchased at Staples, Wal-Mart or any Dell website.

    It is possible to get an ink cartridge Dell Series 9 with a bad sensor. I would take these to the place of purchase for a replacement.

  • Printer HP Deskjet 3070 all-in-One - the IP address will not save

    Hello

    When I connect my printer to all-in-one HP Deskjet 3070 - B611a and try and update the IP address manually, it says it is in place and I press ok but nothing happen need me just indented on the same page but with the address IP is entered.

    The same things happen when I try the wizard he fines the Wifi network and accepts the wifi key tells me im change network, but then after that just takes me back to the first page of the wizard as nothing has happened.

    Almost as if it won't save or flash memory.

    Please help someone.

    Thank you

    Hello Odbod22

    By turning the printer power switch will usually change the IP address, unless make you it static or unchangable. The reason for routers use a protocol called DHCP that tells it how to distribute IP addresses. So, it is not uncommon that address to change. To avoid this, you must assign a static IP address on the printer.

    To do so follow the link below and search for "Step 6" how to set a static IP address.

  • ALL-IN-ONE PHOTOSMART HP 5510 WILL NOT PRINT AFTER GO 'SLEEP' MODE

    My printer model:

    HP PHOTOSMART ALL-IN-ONE 5510 B111A

    Problem:

    Printer goes into sleep mode. After 25-30 minutes breaks the connection between the PC and the printer wireless. Beacon wireless is the same fashionable "sleep" and I see that the printer is connected to my router and there is internet connection. HP Print and Scan doctor sees the printer, but I can't wake the printer unless I restart it.

    What I've tried so far:

    I tried all the solutions offered hp.com; Reinstall driver, updating the printer software, setting static IP on the printer, static DNS servers, using HP print and Scan doctor.

    I've seen people questioned on this issue before and there is no solution. I really need help from HP!

    After days of research, the problem was finally solved! I applied the following steps below. Some steps may be unnecessary, I didn't waste my time knowing who.

    1. find your PC's DNS servers by typing ipconfig/all in CMD.
    2. assign a static IP address outside your DHCP range. For my Linksys router him between 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.150. So I put my static IP address as 192.168.1.20.

    To do this, click the button on your printer wireless. This will show the IP address of your printer. This type of your browser. Go/network/network address. Choose manual IP and write 192.168.1.20

    3 now come to section of the manual DNS server, and then type your DNS servers, you found before.

    4. open your HP printer program that must be installed with your driver. Utilities hit and update the IP address. Update your address with your static IP address.

    5. now go to your router settings. Find the wireless settings and change your not automatic standard 20 MHz radio band.

    6. change your standard channel to 6.

    7 find the wireless security and replace your WPA-personal security mode.

    8 disable UPnP

    9. This is the part of the KEY. Change the renewal of your key to 36000 seconds. (10 hours)

    10 go to the Windows Advanced Firewall. Enable all the disabled printer and share, entrants and outbond rules.
    I believe that the most important parts are affecting a static IP address outside your DHCP-range and change the key renewal time. I hope this works for you too

  • Black ink will not print Photosmart 5510 b111a

    I read all posts CIHI and I've tried everything suggested except you get out the printhead, I do not think it entirely.  I tried aligning and cleaning several times, at least 5.  I have manually cleaned the contacts as well.  Still no black.  the colors are very well. I tried a new cartridge, the same thing.  Any ideas?

    After on the phone for 39 minutes... It's a hardware problem 4 months out of warranty. They said that this happens often. I was offered an upgrade to a 5520, because it uses the same ink I have... for 81,99. I can buy a new one for 99 at best buy. HP did not move on the price so I didn't say thank you. I'll go buy another printer elsewhere. Probably another brand... Oh, btw, it was for a reconditioned model may be used
