• 5180 printing black ink problems

  I have a c5180 printer.  I had a paper jam the other day, and after I got the paper on the printer started printing very light black ink and fuzzy when I printed anything. I aligned it, cleaned the print heads, installed a new HP ink cartridge and it still occurs. Help please!

  Hi mchouser,

  Looks like you've done everything correctly according to these two guides of troubleshooting here and here.  Then I start to wonder if there is always a place rather throw out of the paths of documents on the printer paper.

  Take a look at documents of transport and paper jam below, maybe you'll be able to look inside the printer and find what is the inclination of the paper like this...

  "Transport jam: open door, clear jam of transport and then press OK to continue ' Error Message is displayed on the control panel"

  "Remove paper jam, then press OK" Error Message is displayed on the control panel

• very light gray printing black ink

  I changed all my cartridges and black ink is printing very light - a light gray. I returned for a new cartridge, cleaned the heads and I always have the same question. All other colors seem to be good. A test page, colors only print so I can't tell if black is currently tested-help!

  I have a HP Photosmart Plus B210 Series.

  I was finally able to fix my problem.  I have reviewed the information contained in these positions; do you have the power off/power on, disconnect/connect to cables, resetting on the ink cartridge, the printer align (which was missing); However, after completing all the steps a few time the option Clean Printhead finally cleared up my problem.  Black ink is printing now.

  Thanks to everyone who posted and help me solve my problem with printing in black ink.

• Black ink failure Photosmart 5510 e - All in one series

  Hi all

  Just bought the 5510 all-in-one PC world.

  2 questions.

  1. I can print it, but no (or little) black ink. I swapped the cartridges (in which case one provided in the box was a dud) but the same thing happens. No impression, or very light gray.

  2. I can print an alignment page, but the analysis fails, no suggestion of how to solve the problems, if alignment is dead in the water

  I lived all the troubleshooting onboard and used the mac based system to solve problems too.

  Nothing helps.

  (With no black ink), I can print from iphone or mac.

  Please help if you can.

  Thank you

  Ben

  Hold button power for 20 seconds and then turn off the machine, then hold for 20 seconds then turn on the machine and this machine is turned on, press and hold the power button for three seconds following. This piece of lunatic of advice was given to me by the support. It worked. Which is lucky for them. Apparently not a ridiculous idea.

• L7590 don't Print Full Black Ink, the darkness is uneven

  I have an Officejet Pro L7590 and printing I cannot get all of the black ink level.  This has happened actually came out of nowhere I remember not to proceed with changes in real system before the problem started.  There are a few areas on the page that seem normal, but the vast majority of the page is much lighter.  I tried to clean the printheads twice and tried to align the cartridges without change.  I also installed a new cartridge (HP) with no difference in print quality.

  I read the article online about this problem (uneven printing black ink), but it seems to refer to older models since my cartridges have no contacts like the ones listed, or parameterized properties options in the same way.

• Don't print black ink (HP Officejet 6000 E609a Series)

  HP Officejet 6000 E609a Series - do not black ink print ---
  No warning light indicates low ink levels, so I called "solutions Center". The chart shows all cartridges, color and black to be virtually complete. I then replace the black cartridge with a new cartridge 920XL, thinking that the original could be defective. Same as before results! I (1) printed to a printer status report (2) print a print quality diagnostics page, (3) aligned the print heads and (4) cleaned the print heads, all to nothing does not. I even carefully cleaned the container for the black cartridge with a Q-Tip to collect a small amount of excess ink. Color cartridges are printing very well but the black cartridges will not print. (Either by the way, it seemed to happen suddenly, not gradually). I would be sincerely acknowledging all recommendations to solve this problem.
  Thank you... RP

• HP Deskjet 2542 is not printing in black ink

  Very well. So I picked up a new all-in-one printer HP Deskjet 2542 today from Walmart. At he House installed the printer on my computer compaq laptop windows 7. Print a page of alignment and scanned. Successfully. I went to print my paper for school. Only the hyperlink color was printed. Everything was empty. I printed another document that was all black. It printed 2 blank pages... I'm very disappointed because I just bought this printer less than 3 hours ago! I printed the test pages and everywhere where it is supposed to be black it is a light blue light. The gray dark fate well however. Alignment is fine, it's just a matter with black ink of he. And it came to pass also supplied with the printer that I bought. I don't want to spend more money on the new cartridges that it is supposed to be new! Help, please?

  Thank you @Fujoti. I had originally tried that before posting here and there do not seem to work for me another that tell me that I had to get it repaired for my new printer. To remedy this, I called HP Customer Service help line and I was able to get my printer to print pages in black ink.

  SOLUTION: I cleaned well the bottom of the cartridge with absorbent paper. Then re-installed in my printer. The first pages may be a bit scratched. If this continues to learn more then just a couple of pages I have to go out and clean the contact a little better then you should be all good!

  Thanks for all your help guys

• Photosmart HP 5510 - will not print using black ink

  I have problems with my HP Photosmart 5510 all-in-One printer, because it will not print in black. All cartridges are brand new and are genuine HP cartridges. I've never used anything other than HP cartridges, and I believe that I have would be considered a very light printer user.

  I use a HP Pavilion Desktop PC (Vista Home Premium) connected to the printer via a USB cable.

  I have to 'reset' the printer (power cable removed for 20 seconds), I cleaned the print heads and tried to re-alignment of the printer.

  I ran HP print and Scan diagnostics and do the message "Everything out OK with your product." I then print a test page which "fails", that there is no black ink in use. The diagnosis confirms that the ink levels are all OK and that my printer uses HP authentic and than Normal inks or better quality is selected.

  The printer is a little over a year old and as mentioned has had very light use.

  There is no error - every reason to believe that everything is OK.

  I wish I had a solution to this problem.

  As by chance my previous printer a HP Photosmart 3210 all-in-One failed in a similar way, although in this case, the black was fine, it was impossible to print colors correctly. Once the printer was just out of warranty.

  Curiously enough and fortunately like few others on the forum a few days after the installation of the new cartridge, it seems to work perfectly fine again.  any ideas as to why this happens?

• Problem with black ink cartridge HP Deskjet 3520

  I just replaced a (almost) empty black ink cartridge in my HP Deskjet 3520 printer, and now I get no word on paper. The printer prints photos of a text, but not the text. The test page only gives light gray instead of black values.

  I put the cartridge almost empty return, but the results were the same: not a single word of the text has been printed.

  Can you help me with this one?

  Thanks for the reply. I cleaned up the area where the open cartridge area (square round where the ink comes out) ink and leaves the cartridge references in printer from one day to the next. By making these 2 steps, it started fine printing and quality is really good like the other. Thank you!!!

• No printing black ink for OfficeJet 6500 a Plus.

  My Officejet 6500 did this once before and everything started to work properly.  Now print all colors except black. I replaced the cartridge HP 920XL but does not always print. Printer indicates that the cartridge is not empty. Checked the troubleshooting but no problem with the cartridge or seats.  Through printer head cleaning. Tried to align the print heads, but failed. Does this mean I need to replace the print head?

  Hi sandraYPO,

  I understand that the black is not printing.

  Thank you for your response.
  I'll be happy to help you with this.

  I knew not what documents you have already tried.

  Here is a document for the printer does not print black ink or color ink or prints blank Pages.

  I have included a document for the 'Print head problem' or "Print head seems to be missing or corrupt" Message appears on the screen of the control panel. It will provide you with the instructions to manually remove and clean the print head.

  This URL is a message for soaking the print head that you can try.

  New black cartridge prints partially and light.

  I hope this helps.
  Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

• Always printing black ink cartridge is not after several clean using your own ink cartridges

  I have a HP Deskjet 3050 All in One J610 series printer.

  I use Windows XP.

  I'm a Newbie as HP printers are concerned, but some have experience troubleshooting former HP model a parent.

  The black cartridge is not printing.   For various reasons, I have not used the printer for about two months.  So far, the printer worked fine, and in fact it is still using the cartridges that came with the printer.  I mention these points here because I realize or the other or both can be part of the issue.

  When I sent a document to the printer, printing was uneven.  I checked ink levels and black and color cartridges were about the third two full (before I used the print head cleaning utility.

  After cleaning the printheads, I tried again and this time the impression was the same, but in a shade of light blue, which was very low.  However, the original document is in a police man and a shade of gray, so perhaps he used ink cartridge color and not black?

  Research using the viewer help from HP does not help because it implies that you don't know how to locate the ink cartridge Clean Utility.

  After searching on Google to match the questions, I tried a second and then a third level of cleaning.  And because a post mentioned have to do eight times, I did a little more luck.  When the page is printed at the end of the cleaning cycle, the colors come out crisp and even.  There is no black bloc... is there?  I can't find an image showing a what print perfect following cleaning should look like.

  Additional to clean using the utility attempts do not seem to have worked and could even have been counterproductive because when I tried to print another document, and this came out so pale that I first thought that it is a blank page.

  I used the utility to re-estimated ink levels and the color is always about two third full, while black has dropped a little down, but is still above half full.  There is a check/tick showing for black ink and color.

  Messages on similar questions suggest that the replacement of the cartridge does not solve the problem and that heads should be cleaned manually.

  Should I try to clean the heads manually?  Who was mentioned on the threads and even on the HP support but as another option for a very different model.   I watched some demos on You Tube, but they are for different models of HP, in which they remove the printheads and clean them in a solution provided in the trade which I think is available in the United Kingdom, or with water!

  I would be grateful for any advice as to whether I should remove the black cartridge and clean heads printing and, if so, if someone could point me to a link where this is illustrated step by step, video, or shown in the logical steps.

  In the meantime I'll go off and buy a new black cartridge, but if it's the heads need cleaning, I'll have to do anyway.

  Thanks for any advice you can give me!

  I would like to manually clean the contacts on the cartridges and the printer. The process is described for your model of printer in step 3 of this document here.  The rest of the document does not apply to your question, but it does a great job giving instructions step by step on the manual cleanup process and materials needed to use lists. Manual cleaning will help ensure that the accumulation of contacts is not the cause of the issue of the print quality that you are experiencing. I hope this helps.
