• Photosmart 5520 cannot get black ink to print

  I have successfully install a new black ink cartridge 564 in the photosmart printer 5520. It will print no black ink. However when I print a report of diagnostic quality printing black ink will print the words and rectangle boxes.  On the report there are 4 boxes, one for each color boxes, cyan, magenta and yellow are filled in with each respective color, howerer the black box is empty or the color of the white paper. My estimated black ink gauge says it is almost full. Can some help me?

   I have down loaded new updates and now my ink as been solved problem.

• OfficeJet 6500 has more: printer will not use BLACK ink to print in BLACK. Mix of colors rather than use BLACK.

  Printer prints BLACK ink BLACK, instead he mixes the colours to make BLACK.  It creates copies in BLACK only, without mixing colors to achieve the BLACK, but when I ask it to print something it automatically uses the ink color.

  In properties, advanced, I checked the box to print in BLACK only, but did not help.

  In the printing preferences, shortcuts, where it says printing in grayscale, do you feel black ink only as a default?

  I don't know if it will work, I do not use this parameter or the Advanced setting, I have been using high-quality grayscale, but I'm interested to know why, also, when I print 99.9% of the time with color, what I need to change the color ink cartridges so frequently.  You say the color of those who are used to make black.  That makes no sense to me either why the printer would do that, except high-quality grayscale means he uses color inks vs only Black Ink is not.

  Test printed with two parameters, and that is exactly the same, so I won't set my default preferences for levels of gray-black ink only printing and see what happens.

  What how can you tell whether or not the printer is mix colors?  (by the way, if you use unusually fast color ink)

• PIXMA MG5320 stopped printing black even with new cartridge and a deep cleaning. The colors are OK.

  Some time previously, failure to print quality settings, black would go a little weak on the last few lines of a full page of text. If there are more pages, each would start very well but have the same poor quality near each bottom of page. I changed the setting of the standard high quality & the problem seemed fixed. Just course several days showed poor quality at the bottom of the pages. Today, black does not print. I did 2-3 deep cleanings with a new cartridge, but still no black. Color printing very well. I need to replace the print head?

  Hi PMHilton,

  Given that black ink is printing is no longer and to replace the ink tank and perform deep cleanings have not solved the problem, the printer may require repair.  We ask that you call please 1-866-261-9362, Monday - Friday 10:00-10: 00 ET (excluding holidays) for assistance.  A Canon technical support representative will be happy to help you.  There is no charge for this call.

• PSC 1400v 'check ink cartridges' seeing rest even with new cartridges

  My COPS 1400v 'check ink cartridges' stays on even with new cartridges. I have Windows 7.  I followed the troubleshooting tips to clean the contact points, but not luck.  I bought a carton of off - brand, who worked for a few weeks.  This is the error message at startup.  I replaced the cartridges with the HP brand, but the error light does not turn off.  All advice is appreciated.  I know that this thing is so outdated, but that's all I have right now.  Thank you very much.

  It looks like a case of rejection of the cartridge. You can have a bad ink cartridge, or something more serious. If you have tried all the steps in the document below, then you should try to do a hard reset. If this does not work, the cartridge may be bad and need replaced. Sometimes you get a bad right cartridge against the package. If after changing the cartridge again and again all the troubleshooting steps did not receive the printer print, then you may need to replace the printer.

  To do a hard reset:
  1. make sure that the printer is turned on.
  2. pull on the power cord from the printer.
  3. pull out the power cord from the wall.
  4. wait for 30 seconds.
  5. plug in the printer and turn it on.

• problem of black ink HP photosmart printer

  I have a printer HP photosmart B110a and the black ink cartridge will not print. I tried replacing, switching works etc, but cannot make it work. This looks like a common problem from what I see on the forums. I'm very fed up with this problem. Can anyone help?

  Did you get an improvement for all after letting soak the printhead? Have you checked the evacuation on the cartridge area to see if it is clogged?

  1. If the duct is blocked, use a straight pin to gently remove the excess glue from the vent.

• HP Officejet Pro 8500 has problem with black ink printing

  I have an Officejet Pro 8500 a printer. When I print documents, it will not print anything in black ink. The colors work very well, but just black will not print. The printer says that the black ink cartridge has plenty of ink, and when I shake it, I can say that there is something in there. So, I don't think it's a question of black ink out. Is there a chance that something is blocking the ink out? Any patches for this in addition to the purchase of a new ink cartridge?

• Cartridge, HP 920 XL: Wireless HP Officejet 6000, the problem of black ink printer

  I have a HP Officejet 6000 wireless printer.  It's 2nd HP 920 XL cartridge that has not worked.  It does not show that it is empty, but it will not be printed.  Our school cannot afford to replace these at this rate.  Please let me know what to do to make this work correctly.

  I removed the printer as my default so that I could use another printer.  When I ran the program again to check for problems, the guest asked me to add the printer returned as default.   When I reconnected it the printer as long as my default, I tested the printer and it worked.  Don't know why remove and then add back in the set, but he did.

• HP6520 - problem with black ink - no black ink on paper

  I have a 6520 All in One – this week the printer decided to stop printing in black ink - cartridges were installed a few weeks ago and level is higher than 50%

  What procedure I tried, the printer does not print with black more - also not a bit - paper stays white where black ink should be!

  Of course the printer is out of warranty (02-2012), but as I see it, this problem happens a lot on this type of printer - so there is certainly something wrong

  Please HP, it may be that I have to replace my printer after 2 years because he is not black print more or I have to pay more money to fix when I have to pay for a new printer.

  Awaiting your response

• Photosmart 7520: Black ink not printing

  Black ink is not printing, but the colors and black picture are are OK.  There has been no error messages and troubleshooting routine HP Diagnostics reported nothing wrong. I also ran the last alternative to remove the printheads, soak in water hot, drying, resettlement and using the builtin cartridge cleaning procedure, but still not back to print. Whemn firstg of failure occurred, it had about half the black ink remaining in the cartridge. After trying the procedure clean has nothing helps, I installed a new cartridge purchased about three weeks ago. I did the rest of cleaning, soak and then clean with this new cartridge. The printer is connected wireless to this computer Windows 7-64, and also sireless related to a desktop Vista 32 machine and a Vista 64 laptop machine. All computers have the black printing defect.

  Any ideas?

  Is it possible to know that the purchase of a new printhead will solve the problem?

  The machine is out of warranty.

  I restarted the printer to try the suggestion of the copy, and he entered a period of 4 minutes of 'something'. Then he told me that he had a "problem with the printer or the ink system" then to turn off the machine and if the problem continues contact HP. (this is the first error message that I got through it all). I tried once more, with the same results, but not too long to 'do something '.

• Photosmart b110a leaves streaks and black ink when printing card

  The printer is around the age of 18 months and until recently printed perfectly to any type of paper we used, now, although print on normal paper, whenever we try to send the same file to print card 200gsm, large black ink as a streaks appear at the beginning of the printed area.  Change the type of paper for 'Matt card' makes no difference.  The printer is used by many laptops all running on a OS (Vista, XP & now Win 7) all have the same result.  I changed the black cartridge several times, but it makes no difference.  Everyone knows this or can anyone suggest anything else I can try.  Thank you very much

  Hi DebsB99,

  It sounds like the media are thinking of this printer. Try using a smaller paper gsm and let me know if you still have the problem?

• Problem with black ink

  Hello there, I have a HP C6380 printer. I ran out of black ink small 564. I have a larger 564 black ink there how can I get the printer to use the largest cartiage of ink instead of replace ink 564 more small.

  Thank you

  Scott

  @yellowlabscott, Yes, you can use the cartridge of 564 more GRAND. It should be inserted directly into the slot and read it.

  Are you have problems with the larger cartridge is not suitable?

  New XL cartridges are made more small these days, but they are still considered as the largest and more ink. So it still needs work.

  @alexisgb, you may need to clean the black cartridge. Try to clean the print head and check the results.

  You also have the Photosmart C6380?

• OfficeJet 4630: brand new officejet 4630 with the problem of black ink and ok button does not work

  Hello! Today, I bought a new printer, officejet 4630 and it included ink cartridges in the box.

  ISET it upward as the sheet in the box said. After I had filled in date etc, I put in the ink (and Yes, remember to check it was compatible and take the Ribbon), then this message showed on the screen and still doesn't work:

  "Problem of ink cartridges. The following ink cartridges need to be replaced"and a black dot.

  The cartridges were brand new and came in the same area as the printer.

  I tried a reset (taking the power cord, wait 60 s etc) I saw in the Hp support you need to press 'ok' to get rid of the message before restarting. I can't press ok. It sounds right. I press any button.

  Suggestions? Of course, I can try it with a new cartridge, but to pay $20 for a new cartridge, when it was included in the box and should work is not correct.

• HP Officejet 4630: Black ink is printing half of lines

  

  This is an example of how the documents printed on my printer now. I tried to align my cartrigages three times. It seems that my color cartridge works fine, but it's my black which is not. I reinstalled them both twice and nothing has helped. What is going on?

  Type of printer - HP Officejet 430

  type of computer - HP ENVY TouchSmart 360 x

  The question seems to be an electrical connection between the printer and ink cartridge.  Try printing a test page, as shown below.  Is the black stripe large print only 1/4 or 1/2 of the height of the bars of color?  If so clean the printer and cartridge as shown in the document here contacts can help solve the problem.  Although this document was written for a series of different printers the same principle applies.

  If the procedure above does not resolve the problem, I'd say changing the black cartridge.
