LaserJet 4650n: 4650n does not print black text

I will delete my previous post and make a more concise here!

OK, I solved my problem. It was a questionable black cartridge!

I guess when you print an entire page in black, it uses the black toner, but when we print a page with colors on this subject, he treats just like color and made the black of the other 3 colors. So why it would print black properly when 1 letter color has been changed!

This isn't an expert opinion, just my guessing!

  • My printer does not print black text, it prints in blue-green

  • DeskJet F4480: full black print cartridge still does not print black. Colors OK.

    What the title says. All of a sudden my Deskjet F4480 does not print black. All cartridges are almost nine (changed recently, bought at Staples). Colour printing is OK. Print a page with black text and results in only the images printing color images. I only went through all the steps of cleaning cartridge several times, no difference. There is no error message, just black not appear do not at all.

    And... Here is the solution.

    Funny how I found an explanation of the problem and how to fix it on a different printer manufacturer's Web site, but not on HP... But I digress.

    The black cartridge has been blocked. The way of difficulty is:

    1. remove the faulty cartridge from the printer.

    2. place a small amount of boiling water in a cup (about 1/4 in.) and dunk of the print head (the part where the ink comes out) in warm water for a minute. Do not immerse the entire cartridge in hot water, just the print head.

    3 take it out, pat against a paper towel, observe the model ink left in the cartridge on the towel. If too little / interrupted, dunk again in hot water for another minute, pat again. You want to get an unbroken line of ink through the length of the print head. Repeat as needed (I did 4 times total).

    4 cartridge Pat dry everywhere, put it back in the printer, run cleaning cycles (1 - 2).

    5. If still not good fixed, take out the cartridge and repeat 2 (I had to do it again).

    You will lose little ink, cartridge of bad and good a well (you can not run cycles with only 1 cleaning cartridge), but at least you won't have to throw a nearly full cartridge.

  • HP 3520 while a printer does not print black after changing ink and cleaning head

    My 3520 printer all-in-one will not print black after cleaning print head and replacement of black ink. the printer is a little older than a year. All printing inks.

    Hi handytim1,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I see that you are facing some print quality problems on your HP Deskjet 3520, you cleaned the printhead and replace the cartridge without success.

    I would like to continue you 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.

    Let me know the results, I'll watch for your reply.

    Thank you

  • hp3520 does not print black

    My printer does not print black. I look and notice that it does not indicate that it stays black in the cartridge. Still, I went and got a new black ink cartridge and it printed the first page in black, but then stop again to print in black. Other colors on paper, but not black.

    Hi cheepazoid,

    I would start by checking all ink and cartridges of weak levels.  I'm a link the user guide for your printer which also contains troubleshooting information.  Click here  I suggest that you click on Maintenance in the guide and follow the steps to manually clean the ink cartridges and options to automatically clean the cartridges up to 3 times.

    Let me know how it goes.

    Good luck!

  • HP LaserJet 400 M401dn: M401dn not print white text on a black background

    Hello

    We do not print white text on a blackground on a M401dn. I am trying to print a Word document. Prints fine on other printers we have - Brother HL-2240dn, Ricoh Aficio C4501.

    When the work is submitted the HP printer prints a black block. There is no white text.

    Can someone help me solve this problem please?

    Thank you.

    After reviewing your samples in detail a bit more, I suspect that the problem may be associated with the size of the font you are selection (so it would affect black text on white background) rather than being something to do with the colors of text and background.

    With a number of recent models LaserJet Mnnn , a firmware issue has prevented use of the font with a size of 72 points or more.

    These appear to have been fixed with a new version of the firmware - see http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Software-Drivers/M401dn-Firmware-Printing-issues/m-p/5008912

  • Printer does not print black

    My HP4620 all-in-one printer does not print in black.  I put in all the new HP ink cartridges.  I used the 'tool' function to clean the printer heads (floors 1 and 2).  I downloaded the HP doctor and ran the diagonistics.  Nothing seems to have worked to get my printer to produce black text.  Once when I was feeling my test page appeared to them as an attempt very, very small printer to print black, but it is unreadable.  Any help would be appreciated.

  • HP 6520: HP 6520 will not print black TEXT - will be pictures fine print

    I don't know what is happening with my HP 6520. I posted some time ago, thinking that it was just black as ink cartridge when I try to print a Word document, Internet Pages (any browser or operating system (I also have a Dell laptop, in addition to an iPad).) I tried to clean the printheads several times and when I print the confirmation page, the part of the black box does NOT print. However, I printed the photos in color on this perfect look me. I even printed a photo of my black dog, my gray koi, a black and white koi, green plants, and all this look perfect. Just the printer will not print any BLACK TEXT. Yes, it will display the text in blue (which does not work if I am trying to print a form on the Internet). I typed in black text in a document, printed out, and it is empty. I then change the color to blue, and it seems. Yes, tried on two computers and different programs/systems operation/browsers (IE, Firefox, Safari)

    Any ideas?

    Thank you!

  • HP5610 printer does not print black no content

    Hi all

    I have a really strange problem with my HP5610.

    He started last week - if I printed a document with multiple pages, the first page would be of standard quality, but by the last pages, the black text would be disappeared until this that practically illegible.  If I left the printer for a few hours, I was able to print another page, but even once, it would get progressively lighter.

    Although it's a new cartridge that was barely used, I changed it-assuming it was defective.

    Since then, I put in a replacement cartridge and I have the same trouble.  The text is very feint, so clearly not not using black ink at all.  Seeing that it is already a new cartridge, I tried a test page, alignment of the printer (the alignment page has just blue on it!), the cartridges of cleaning (using the set towards the top/menu help).  I cleaned the contacts inside the printer and the cartridge with distilled water.  I have it cut to the grid and still no joy.

    There ink from cartridge if I wipe it with a paper filter, so I don't think it's a problem with another cartridge... but can we else recommend what to do?

    I even let the cartridge upside down for 2 hours outside the printer in case it was a problem of sediment in the cartridge, but that did not work!

    Thanks in advance

    Hello Helenavm,

    Looks like it is your printhead or the tube in the printer at this stage, given that you have gone through all the troubleshooting steps. The 5610 doesn't have a removable print head so it can not be cleaned outside the utility provided with the printer.

    You can try to launch the application cleaning several times as a cleanup can't do. If after this the printer still does not print the likely product of must then be repaired.

    You can use this warranty Checker to see if your printer is still under warranty.

    If not, you can see what out-of-warranty options, you need to get out of here

  • HP ENVY 4504: HP ENVY 4504 does not print black ink even with full cartridge

    Used by my office printer is not printing black ink. It does not, it is out of black ink, but anything on a page I print requiring black ink is absent. I checked the cartridge to see if she had missed and the printer was not to tell me, but she didn't. I also tried to put in a new black ink cartridge, but it wouldn't print black to help anyone.

    There is no problem with color printing and the problem started only today. The black cartridge is certainly compatible with this printer as it had been good working with it so far.

    We bought this printer less than a year ago now.

    Until outside to change the cartridges I also turned the printer off and on again, but neither helped.

    I would appreciate greatly any assistance that we currently only this one printer at the office and we rely on it for a lot of work.

    Thank you very much.

    Ink cartridge information after doing all the recommendations of HP:

    Once you check the vents turn the cartridge and check the underside near the opening of the ink.  They can be of four plastic tabs near the opening are resurrected.  Make sure that the raised tabs are removed and made flush with the body of the cell.  This will cause the cartridge do not do sit properly in all of the print head and cause air that are expected.  This will affect especially the black ink cartridge.

    In particular, let us know if you find the above to be true.

    Buy 6 months ago just started to use it, on the original cartridge black, unable to print black text or lines. diags HP and they run so nothing wrong. Test print shows no black ink cartridge, but display States black cartridge is 60%.
    Through HP troubleshooting page - completely unnecessary support.
    Reloaded with the latest drivers, firmware, etc., made no difference.

    A lot on the web about this issue, but not many solutions from HP

    Feeling I may just throw the device and buy another manufacturer.
    If HP can solve this?

    I gave up trying to get the HP online form to work, would not accept the code for the printer.

    so I bought new cartridges despite the originals still indicating they were half full.

    in the future, I'll switch to another brand of printer, hopefully with better support for manufacturing.
