My Lexmark S400 prints with black boxes

It is still the case?

If this isn't the case, which happened just before this behavior started?

What application you are printing from?

The behavior occurs when you print from other applications?

Open Printers and faxes, right-click on the icon for your S400 and select Properties.  In the 'Général' tab, click 'Print the Test Page.'  Do you always have black squares?

  • HP Officejet 6500 Wireless print with black ink

    HP Officejet Wireless 6500 won't print with black ink. This printer as worked perfectly for years. Now, all of a sudden, he leaves by using black ink. All other colors are working very well. Any ideas?

    I tried several cleanings and reset by pressing on # and 3 when turning the power on. Nothing works, but the ink levels are declining due to all the cleanings trying to get this thing to work.

    I have it!

    I have searched all over the internet for a solution to this problem. Some people have the right idea, but not how to implement it.

    Problem: Black ink doesn't print all colors print but not

    Reason: for black print head is clogged.

    Implementation of solution:

    Set 920 ink jet cartridges in cartridge print head which is held in place by small arm on the right side of the ink cartridges.

    1. remove all the ink cartridges. I didn't want them to dry, so I wrapped them in plastic wrap.

    2. lift the arm and remove the print head cartridge.

    3 rinse the WHOLE print HEAD under a stream of water. I know it sounds crazy, but it will work. I thought it was best to rinse all the (not only black) because if I did not then the ink left any color would dry up and clog in any case!

    4. I leave the printhead to dry for about an hour, BUT IT DOES NOT WORK. When I handed the printhead my 6500 gave me an error message that it could not find the head of printing or something like that. I thought I ruined which was the risk I was willing to take. I went online and searched for a replacement at low prices. I immediately ordered it. But I have excluded the old printhead to dry just in case it is water which made it unnecessary.

    5. four days later I received a new printhead. Before I opened the package I tried the old an new AND IT WORKED! First, I installed the old print head cartridge, then each of the inks. After having done that, the 6500 did the rest. He went on a very long print head cleaning and alignment. He gave me the message "Please wait. Printer preparation occurring. »

    6. when the cleaning and alignment end it automatically prints a test page. It didn't look perfect the first time, but it was close. The message I got was, 'success. Alignment with success. Recycle or discard the printed page. Press Ok to continue. "The problem was that the ink cartridges were emptied of this whole process, even though they had about half of the ink when I removed them left. I changed the ink cartridges and did a cleaning and a level 2 cleaning and alignment. It worked!

    7. because I could not return the new printhead that I am now in case of failure of the print head for another reason.

    I don't know how long it will take to dry print head after rinsing but I know works of 4 days. Perhaps a few days would have been sufficient. If someone does and less time please let others know here.

    If you don't have success using my method, at least you know it will solve a new printhead. I paid about $35 for a new.

    Good luck!!

  • How can I print with black and white cartridge only?


    Hello

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to print using the black and white, while one of the ink cartridges are empty.

    Using black ink only possible while there's ink color as well.

    While the color ink is not required for the purposes of printing, there are required for, maintnance operations of the device.

    As the appliance contains an internal printhead (IIC() system, lack of color ink can damage the system shortly. This is why the device is not functional when there is no ink in order to prevent damage to the system.

    For users who wish to print using just black ink (despite the reduced print quality), many HP printers offer options. For example, a driver colour setting (by selecting "print in greyscale with the black cartridge only" in printing preferences) specifies printing using only black ink. In addition, many IPH printers can operate in "reserve mode", which allows the user to continue to print with just the black cartridge when the colour cartridge is removed or not installed.In HP IIC systems, all supplies are required to be installed in the printer for the printer to function

  • OfficeJet pro 8600: printing with black cartridge only

    I just replaced the black ink cartridge (the other colors are exhausted and still in the machine) but I want to just print in black, but it won't let me - please advise

    This isn't what you want to hear, but you will need to replace the color cartridges as well.  The 8600 Pro Officejet has separate ink supplies and a replaceable (but expensive) print head.  If the printer works (in black only) with one or more color exhausted it can damage the print head.  To avoid damaging the printer hangs printing if one or several colors are exhausted.

  • Some PDFS are print with empty boxes, replacing the text

    I have some of my electricity and gas supplier invoices and invoices are printed with squares displayed instead of text. I have already restored the book of fonts for the default fonts. I have no problem with the display of these bills on my computer. I have another PDF files and they all are printed correctly. If I open the PDF file that is badly printed and export it to PDF in PREVIEW app, the output is the same as on my printer. I tried to restore all the fonts by default those and I tried to reinstall OSX update with update combo, always the same.

    What else can I do to restore the normal print mode?

    Any who have had the same issue guys?

  • E-all-in-one printer, HP Deskjet 3520: HP Deskjet 3520 printer with black cartridge 364

    I tried to insert a 364 black cartridge in the printer. The 364XL black fits perfectly, but the 364 ordinary cartridge seems to be too narrow to fit.

    Am I stupid? Is there a technique for the Assembly of the 364 cartridge?

    Help please.

    The regular black cartridge must be installed in the center of the space, with an equal distance on each side.

    Additionally, make sure that you use the black cartridge 364 (with the symbol of the Pentagon) rather than the Photo-364 (with the butterfly or butterfly knot symbol).  The photos below show the 564 cartridge, but is the same for the 364.

    364 black cartridge has a Pentagon on the cartridge but a circle on the box...  The Photo cartridge has a butterfly on the cartridge and a camera on the box node.

  • Photosmart 5510 - cannot print with black just in

    I have a Photosmart HP 5510 e-All-in-one printer - B111a. I am running Mac OSX 10.8.5, running a Macbook pro mid 2012 15 inches. I am able to run Windows 8, but have not tried. I threw the magenta, cyan and yellow. I bought a new black toner cartridge. My printer does not print unless I have the magena, cyan and yellow installed. Is it possible to spend it?

    No, the cartridges must be present.  In addition, if the printer is allowed to sit for a long time with the cartridges removed the "plumbing" may become permanently blocked.
