  • HP Photosmart Plus B209a-m black cartridge will not print

    My HP photosmart Plus 209 a, m stopped printing black ink. I've had less than a year, and it worked perfectly until last night, when all of a sudden it stopped printing black ink... All other colors work very well. I took all the actions proposed by the HP support site, I have cleaned the print heads, ran the alignments, cartridges has changed twice again (never used anything else than new HP cartridges) and still no black ink. So I searched for an answer outside the HP site and tried all the suggestions, I came across but always without success. I found, however, that there are many people with the same problem but I have yet to find a person who has solved. Please someone help me!

  • new black cartridge will not print

    OfficeJet 6500 AIO e709a

    Windows Vista

    I installed new black ink cartridge. I made a few photocopies and had no problem. Today I can't print black at all. It prints color only. I did all the troubleshooting - cleaning the print head, align, print the test page, etc. - still no black. I went to Office Depot and got the black cartridge. Still can not print in black. I used the 'clean' tools of the printer itself print head and still no black. The replacement plan, I bought at Office Depot is a joke! They give me only purchase price. New printer like min (one year old, but was a fence) will cost me double, they will return! I would rather 'fix' it. Any ideas?

    Thank you!

    WELL, I'm RELIEVED! The reset worked very well and I am now printing in black! I agree with the person who said that this process certainly has HP - I used a lot of ink! (you know, this liquid GOLD!)

    In any case, I'm happy and enjoy all that have posted helpful advice/comments.

    Now, how can I mark this "resolved?"

  • DeskJet 940c: new 78xl cartridge will not print on Deskjet 940c

    bought 78xl tricolor cartridge.  Have only used the 78 before regular.  New cartridge will not print.  Replaced by the old cartridge - printed perfectly.  When I opened the printer, the cartridges for the little happy face moving, I have not a clue as to what is happening.  I would simply return this cartridge?  The 78xl is compatible with the 940 c?  15 black continues to print well.

    ARGHHHH.  Help, please...

    Hey @JaniBee ,

    Yes I recommend you return the faulty new cartridge and replace it! If you buy the new cartridge and it fails well then let me know and we can look at the printer and excludes a faulty cartridge error.

    Get back to me and let me know! Have a great day and a wonderful holiday season!

    I'm having the same problem that other messages that I have seen posted - my black ink will not print

    Help!

    You can try to unlock the black cartridge using a cotton swab soaked in hot water.

    Turn the printer off by removing the power cable.

    Remove the black cartridge & you we see a wire mesh DAB gently with the Q-Tip.

    A cleanup operation between attempts.

  • HP Color Laserjet 2550n will not print in color?

    My HP Color Laserjet 2550n will not print in color?

    I spent half a day Googling this issue and could not find any solution?

    When I press the go and cancel the 3 test pages print fine in color set button.

    But if I try to print anything from my laptop, it's all B & W.

    I already installed the latest version of PCL5, PCL6 and PS drivers from today:

    http://h20564.www2.HP.com/hpsc/SWD/public/readIndex?sp4ts.Oid=388401&lang=en&lang=en&cc=us&cc=us

    None of them print in color?

    I think that is the question:

    But, how to fix this?

    My OS is Win 8.1Pro x 64 with all updates installed.

    The colour toners are 100%, black is at 28%.

    rk_russelking: your suggestions have been COMPLETELY & TOTALLY USELESS.

    I found the answer here:

    ... «in the printer properties, select the tab settings of the device, scroll to the very last item at the bottom, which is 'Device Type'.» The value displayed (which of course got auto-installé as a default value, for both PCL6 drivers), is "AUTO-DETECT". You would think that would work, but it apparently does not.

    In any case, by selecting the drop-down arrow, it turns out that there are three available values: AUTO-DETECT, COLOR and MONOCHROME.

    Of course she then had me select COLOR, click APPLY and then click OK. I repeated the process for the other printer PCL6. »

  • DesignJet T770: DesignJet T770 will not print in color

    After you move a DesignJet T770 44 inch queue from a Windows 2003 server to a Server Windows 2012 R2 the T770 will not print in color.

    The general tab on the properties T770 printer States ' color: No. '.  Yet once on the printer properties on the tab color color management is set to "Automatic (recommended)".

    The T770 printer driver has been downloaded from Windows Update I was unable to get a T770 driver from the HP website.

    The T770 product no is CH539A / CN375A. Strangely, none of these product numbers have been recognized by the search for product number for th HP Web site.

    My question is how do the T770 to print color again?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I would say that you definitely have a driver problem if you has not changed the settings in the built-in web server printer at the time wherever you spent since Windows Server to the other server in Windows.

    I check all the settings on each tab in the driver to see if it is possible that somewhere in there color is disabled.

    I also go back to HP.com and look for driver for that machine again.

    I am also looking for a print utility for this machine, which should not be confused with a printer utility, even if they might be named roughly the same.

    I recall there are two utilities is to monitor the status of your printer, and the other is to print and work around the driver.

    When you have found the right print utility you save your print format JPEG or PDF file and then open it in the print utility and send it to the printer without ever open drivers.

    Another experiment, you can try it if you have a practical PDF just open a web browser and access the built-in web server printer and then try to print the PDF file directly by using the option for printing on the web server.

    The purpose of some of these things is number one determine if the printer has developed a problem that it prevents printing color and print JPEG or PDF from the built-in Web server where all you do is send the file directly to the printer would let you know that the printer is always able to color.

    So if you can get the print work utility where you can open the PDF on a PC and then send it to the printer you have to least a workaround while you solve the driver problem.
