My HP Photosmart Plus B210e printer will not print black ink, only gray/color.

My printer HP Photoshop more faithful 210th has stopped printing in black ink last week. It prints color beautifully, but where there should be black it comes out just as gray or white spot. I have tried two new ink cartridges, cleaned print heads, reinstalled the driver, all to nothing does not. I tried to align the printer, but it gave me a failure message. Need help please, I desperately need to be able to print to school! I have Mac 10.8, so I couldn't do the online troubleshooting.

-Very well, sounds like you might have clogged or dry print head. What I propose, is that you first use the Tools menu under Setup for clean print heads at least three times. If that does not improve the quality of your print (PQ) or if you already have gift which, I would say that you remove the printhead and clean the back of the cradle with a non fluffy cloth (like a coffee filter) and a little water. The section you want to clean will be triggered copper bumps where the printer makes electrical contact with the print head.

If this fails, an unconventional way to solve the problem which has worked in the past:

I hope that you have a wonderful week and I hope that the time where you are is as beautiful as it is here!

  • 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)

  • How can I print black ink only automatic duplex mode for Officejet 6500?

    When I set the printer to automatically print on both sides, it allows only color or grayscale of high quality as print color options.  If I print on one side, then I have a third option for black ink only.  Does anyone know how to get black ink only when getting both sides to print automatically?

    Sorry, this is not an option.  When printing on the front of a page in duplex black is underprinted with color to make the 'together' impression and dry faster.  Thus "black only" is not an option when you print duplex pages automatically.

    Help, please.  Thank you.

    Hi jpjones2,

    It worked before? If so, I suggest restarting the base station AirPort, Mac and the Photosmart. Then test it again. Ensure that the Photosmart works well autonomous - try printing a copy on the device.

    Is only the failing printing and analysis very well? Or you are not able to install the device on your Mac at all?

    Already check the Photosmart is connected to your network and has received an IP address?

  • HP Photosmart Plus B210e Printing in problem of ink empty

    Two nights, my HP printer was big.  Yesterday morning, tried to print a document runs to black but nothing printed ink on the past.  Did not get the message "low ink".  Check the ink levels: all colors, including black were about 25 to 30%.  I was able to print in color, which is blue.  I unplugged my printer for about 30 seconds, reconnected and restarted my laptop.  However, does not solve the problem.  I have a HP Pavilion dv6-3230us laptop with Windows 7.  Another problem aside.  My laptop is about 2 years old and for about a week, I have beening to have another problem.  Having been on the laptop for about 30-40 minutes, it will turn off by saying that the laptop is trying to overhet [but I still ensure that the fan vents are clear]; so I called HP becaue it kept recurring for about 4-5 days; they had me download a diagnostic tool and conduct a test to make sure that HP and RAM were very good - they were; then told me to use the laptop as usual and call again if the problem persists.  This is still happening and I have to remind them once again.  But cannot understand what is happening on my is not printing in black ink.  any help is appreciated!

    You may need to replace the cartridges. Color cartridges blend to blend in the dark, to make a true black color. When the cartridges are low on ink, it starts to print quality problems.

  • Photosmart HP 6520 - printing black ink does not after having been replaced

    I replaced all 4 cartridges in my printer and tried to print a form, but the black ink is not printing. Thinking perhaps that I bought a defective cartridge, I bought another but I'll always have the same problem. It's the first time that I had to replace my cartridges (remained originals in French - printer was purchased in December). I've never had problems before printing. Please help... desperately need my printer to work!

  • HP Photosmart plus b209a-metres will not print wireless

    This printer has had me very confused for a long time now.  When I got to the printer, I have had no problem in his wireless installation and be able to print things wireless.  But after that I had to restore my laptop I had a few problems.  I reinstalled and everything seems to work properly.  When I go in the settings of the printer and look at the wireless connection, he tells me that it is connected to my router, also when I look in my networks on my laptop, I see the printer.  But then when I want to print something wireless it tells me in the HP Solution Center that the printer is offline.  This makes absolutely no sense to me at all...

    I don't know what to do, I tried searching on google for 30 minutes for a solution, but I couldn't understand anything.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance,

  • Printing black ink only?

    We have just received the all in one printer 3050 wireless. The sole purpose of print from my iPhone. We do not have a computer at home. My husband has a work he sometimes brings home laptop. I figured out how to print in black only using his computer. Is anyway to do this on the printer itself when I print from my iPhone? I went through all the settings on the printer screen, but found nothing. Thanks in advance for your help. I don't want to use the color ink for the things that I do not have too :-)

    Hello Tea77

    You use the HP ePrint home & Biz? Or you use AirPrint and/or a different application on your phone? If you use ePrint you can connect to the ePrint centre and there should be a setting for the grayscale or black and white.

  • Office jet pro 8600 how default to black ink only when printing from my ipad

    Is it possible to set an option to print the black ink only when printing from my Ipad 2?
    When I use the print icon the only option that shows is double page. I would like to be able to print in black only.
    I can set this option when you print from my pc...

    Hello

    AirPrint does not support black ink only printing, however the HP ePrint app allows it.

    Note that the option is available only for documents (for example Office, PDF, Web pages and emails files), but not for the Photo files.

    You can find the steps to obtain and use the application in the document below:

  • HP Photosmart 5520 - will not print black ink

    Photosmart HP 5520 - black ink does not print even with the new cartiage and I did the printhead, cleaning tools and still does not work.    My warranty expires and don't know what to do next.

    Hello heartieluvcatsand welcome to the Forums of HP.

    I understand that you have problems with your black print the result.  I recommend you to perform a power reset. Unplug the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug back in the printer. Make sure that you connect the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any surge protector or power bar.

    After the reset, I would say using this document on fixing of the streaks of ink faded prints and other common Print quality problems

    I also suggest the steps described in this document printer does not print black ink or color ink or prints blank Pages.

    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting operations. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  • HP Photosmart Plus B210e but can't seem to connect to my Verizon Fios router

    I have the HP Photosmart Plus B210e but you are unable to connect to my Verizon Fios router which is an Actiontex M1424-WR.   The printer detects the name of the router and I enter the WEP key, but it does not connect.   The diagnoses listed without filtering status summary do NOT.   I connected to my router and checked that no MAC filtering is enabled.   I have two laptops which have no problem connecting to the router.

    OK, so a simple reboot of the router solved the problem

  • HP Photosmart Premium C309g do not print black ink

    Hello

    My HP Photosmart Premium C309g (CD055A) will not print black ink even if the cartridge is full. He's going through the motions of printing but the pages come out blank. It prints colors, they are not as dark as before, so I know that black is not working. I have cleaned the print heads, turned off the printer, unplug the printer, restarted the computer, but nothing works. I get colors on the report of the print quality, but the printer status report comes out blank. I bought a new black ink cartridge (564XL) think the previous one was defective (levels showed a 75% ink) but I still have the same problem. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Hey,.

    I see you have done some troubleshooting on the issue of the print quality that you are experiencing.  I would make sure you did all the troubleshooting steps available for your research problem in the document following the link.

    Print colors are the colors should not when the C309 Photosmart Premium printing.

    If you have completed all these steps, then I check the status of your printer warranty.  If it is out of warranty, you should consider the solution provided by Bob_Headrick in the thread found here.

    Hope this helps,

  • Photosmart 6515 does not print black ink after replaced the cartridge

    I am very frustrated! I can't get my Photosmart 6515 print black ink.

    Our school sends the documents by e-mail now that we have to print at home. Ideal for them, but not for me. They are usually in PDF format, so I do not have the ability to edit and change the blue color to print, either.

    I only use HP cartridges on this printer. I know it's more than a year, in order to call phone support will do no good.

    I replaced both cartridges and now it shows black ink completely full, but when I print the printer status report, black is not displayed. Black does not appear on the tool pages, either.

    I tried the command "clean printhead" several times. I unplugged and waited. I took all the cartridges. Connections look clean.

    What should I do to perform a partial reset or full?
