My Photosmart 5515 no black ink will print.

It was working fine until I changed the cartridges, now it prints only CMY. I found the page of troubleshooting on this issue, went through all the steps and even exchanged for another new black cartridge. Still nothing.

OK, the only other thing I can think of would be to reset the printer.

Follow these steps to reset the printer.

  • HP Photosmart more B210A: black ink cartridge will not print.

    The black ink will print on my printer.  I installed new ink and cleaned the print heads.  I did a review of the printer and the ink of color appeared only.  The printer is recognizing the cartridge when I check the ink levels.  The first page after cleaning came out very faint then anything.  At first, I thought that the new black ink cartridge was defective.  So I replaced it with another new - no difference.

    The only change is that I have installed all new cartridges when all printing has become very low.

    Help, please.  Thank you.

    Fushing did not work, however, we used a demo on Utube and has not used the distlled water.  That could be the problem. The printer is about 8 years old, we decided to get a new one.  Thank you very much for your 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.

  • HP6520 ALL IN ONE PRINTER: BLACK INK WILL NOT PRINT

    I TRIED ALL THE PROPOSED SOLUTIONS.  NO WORK FOR ME.  I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO RUN THE CLEAN CARTRIDGE HEADS.  SAME RESULT (WASTED A LOT OF VERY EXPENSIVE INK IN THE PROCESS).  ANOTHER USER HAS SUGGESTED TO USE SOLVENT TO CLEAN A CLOGGED INKJET PORT.  I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE REPRESENTATIVE HP APPROVED THAT.  THE PAGE OF DIAGNOSIS THAT PRINTS AFTER HAVING CARRIED OUT THE SYSTEMATIC CLEANING HEAD PRINT BLACK TEXT, BUT THE BOX FOR BLACK PRINTING IS TOTALLY WHITE.  IS THERE ANOTHER SOLUTION TO TRY?  Help!

    The printhead on the HP Photosmart 6520 is not designed to be removable by the user.  While you can find messages with information on the withdrawal of the printhead for soaking, it's really not recommended.  If you decide to do this don't forget to read the entire thread, these discussions often end with a printer damaged due to damage or damage to the encoder system, electrical connectors which can make the printer unusable.

    You may have already taken the steps of troubleshooting in the paper here, if not go through each of them in order.  Check the vents on the black print cartridge and that it sits correctly.

    If the above does not solve the problem you could try manually to clean the printhead, as described in the post here for a different but similar printer.

    Note that the printer uses a mixture of color and black inks to print a diagnostic page.  This is so that the information can be read even if black or one or more colors do not work.  Although it may seem from this page your black works that is unfortunately not.  You can simulate this by selecting "Photo paper", as the media type in the driver, it would force the printer to use the same color ink to print black text.

  • 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)

  • HP Photosmart Plus B210A black ink cartridge will not print

    I have an HP B210A Photosmart printer. Windows 8 operating system.  Recently, I replaced all ink cartridges, Black XL.

    Now the black does not print.  The printer recognizes the ink is there but not print during a test, as the other three colors.  I went back to store & exchanged the cartridge for me even if I had bought all four colors together.  Installed the new one and it still does not work.  Has gone through the process of the online help where they want me to buy an another print head, but that doesn't make sense to me.  The products are HP, ink # 564.

    I wouldn't get rid of this product because of it.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Of course, out of warranty.

    Hi PaulieG,

    I understand that you have a Photosmart B210a printer that is printing is no longer black. I'm sorry to hear you had to deal with this, but I will certainly do my best to help you with this problem.

    I recommend you all first that you have a look at this print quality paper to ensure that no steps have been omitted in this document. You can also try the steps outlined in this document 'Print head problem' or "Print head seems to be missing or corrupt" Message appears on the computer to clean your print head manually. Then, in a last effort, if these steps do not help, you can also try a suggestion from Bob_Headrick to soak your printhead.

    Hope this helps, have a nice day!

  • Photosmart 5514: Photosmart 5514 - new black ink cartridge will not print

    I just replaced all 4 ink cartridges (new cartridges of HP).  Each color prints fine except the black.  Not a spot of ink is crossing.  I removed, checked and reinsert the cartridge several times.  I check the contacts, clean them by following the instructions in the troubleshooting guide.  I've run the cleanup tool and quality report several times each.  Still nothing.  The printer is only a couple of years, out of warranty, but I don't have any problems with it so far.  Is there anything else I can try before I have to throw this printer?

    For anyone who is having the same problem: I continued to try to understand this problem because I didn't have to buy a new printer.  I finally found a solution after trying everything that previously mentioned.  HP never really gave me any solution.

    On the touch screen of the printer, go to Setup, then Preferences.  Do scroll to the chip in cartridge information and change it to Off.  Now my black ink prints!

    I don't know if it will work on other printer models, but it worked on mine.

  • Re: HP Photosmart 6520 printer. Black ink will not print. Other OK. Tried the new cartridge and same problem

    I'm having the same problem. I ran the cleaning steps. I tried to lead the cartridges. I bought 2 black cartridges and both do not work. I've even used up my color ones do all the tests. Help please. I need my printer for school!

    Hi @ginim,

    Welcome to the HP Forums. I understand your printer is not printing black ink, and I would like to help. Please start with the procedure described in the following document; Printer prints a blank Page or do not print black or color ink for the HP Deskjet Ink Advantage year...

    If you have performed all the steps in the document above and the problem persists, not one of HPs, my personal recommendation is to use the solution put forward in the next video.  I suggest you only do this if the printer is out of warranty; How to fix an HP, not for printing black ink and lack of color printer

    In view of the comments, it seems that this will help you

    Even if the printer is maybe more under warranty, if the problem persists, HP may be able to offer something. Perhaps, they may offer you a discount on another model. What you can do, is to use the following link to create yourself a file number, then call and it can help to expedite the appeal process:

    Step 1. Open the link: www.hp.com/contacthp/
    Step 2. Enter the product number or select Auto detection
    Step 3. Scroll up to "still need help? Fill out the form to select your contact options.
    Step 4. Scroll down and click on: contact HP options - click Get phone number

    File number and phone number are displayed.

    Since you just bought the printer you need to know, HP printers usually have a warranty of 1 year from the date of purchase, you can check the warranty using the following if you wish; Guarantee cheque.

    I hope this helps.

    If this resolves the issue, please let me know if we can help others who may be faced with the same problem.

  • Black ink will not print on Photosmart Premium C309a

    The printer works fine until last night.  The last printed page has been very weak, couldn't read.  Black ink levels are fine and still print color ink.  I ran HP diagnostic test and it said that there is nothing wrong with the printer.  Any suggestions?

    Found a link to another post in the forums with the same title as this one.  Follow the instructions to remove the print head and cleaning and soaking in hot water.  After 5 minutes of cleaning and rinsing all works well now.  Ignore the post above about changing the color settings in the printer preferences.

  • Photosmart 5220 - new black ink installed according to the instructions, and will not be printed in black and white

    Hello

    Today, I installed a new HP 564 Black XL cartridge in my Photosmart 5220 according to the instructions.

    Since then, I cannot print in black and white and the pages come out blank.

    Can anyone suggest how to fix this?

    Thanks in advance

  • PhotoSmart 5512 no black ink printing

    Hi all.  I have a PhotoSmart 5512 who has recently stopped printing black ink.  Before we get into all that, here is some basic information:

    Primary computer: MacBook Pro OS 10.9.2

    Connection: On home WiFi network

    Recent changes: black ink cartridge changed (twice), no network changes

    I serve this 5512 without problems since we bought it in August 2012. Recently, it stopped printing black ink. I checked the levels and it seemed to be close to empty (by using the form on the printer and Mac methods of control levels). I replaced the black cartridge with a black cartridge HP 564XL black. Installation, I ran the "clean printer heads" several times, but still saw no black ink. All I get on the print are the various boxes of colors at the bottom of the page.

    Yet once, I replaced the black cartridge with a new black cartridge HP 564XL black.  Once again, to the installation, I ran the 'Clean Printer Heads' several times, but still not seen any black ink.

    I removed the cartridge and checked the filter between the cartridge and print head. He had a cool on black ink. This makes me think that the printer is properly pulling the cartridge ink and sending it to the head print correctly, but for some reason, this isn't making it by the head of the printer correctly.

    I followed the steps on this page (found in another similar post), although I have not yet submitted the printer for maintenance.

    Help, please. I am a teacher by class 1 and almost all print on cardstock color for my students.  Not having do not access to home printing has really took me by surprise.

    Thanks for your help.
