New black cartridge do not align

I have a HP laptop and my printer is a HP EnVY 4500 e-all-in-one-series.

I installed a new black cartridge Ref. HP61. The printer will scan, but the alignment fails. This is a new printer. I had an old HP printer that does the same thing. That's why I bought thinking it was the HP ENVY printer.

Thus, the new cartridge, new printer, same problem, will not align the scanned map.

Hi @671,

Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

I see that your new HP Envy 4500 printer is stuck on the alignment process. I'd be happy to help you and don't forget to come back to this thread and check "Accept as Solution", if I have successfully helped solve you the problem. If you want to say 'Thank you' to my effort to help, click on the "thumbs up" to give me a Kudos.

I understand how frustrated you must try to get the printer working, I will help the best I can.

What looks like the alignment sheet?

Missing colors?

I would like to do a hard reset to see if that will solve the problem.

  • Let the printer and disconnect the printer cable and the wall socket for 60 seconds.
  • Reconnect the power cable to the output of the printer and the wall, and not a surge protector. This ensures that the printer is full on and can help this situation.
  • Make sure that the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (do not use a hub or a surge protector) This ensures that the printer is full on and can help this situation.
  • Remove and reinsert the ink cartridges.
  • Load white letters unused, plain or paper of A4 format with a brightness level of at least 85 on the set.

If the problem persists, I would try the steps in this guide, an "alignment failed" Error Message is displayed on the control panel.

  • 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?"

  • New black cartridge does not print - Photosmart 5510 all-in-One

    I replaced all my ink cartridges when they ran.  The black cartridge is printing not and cannot even print alignment test page to align my new cartridges.  They are HP cartridges I bought and now after all cleaning procedures, I have now exhausted all new cartridges.  My warranty is exceeded, even if I have not received the new printer last Christmas, but my family he registered in August when they bought it for me.  I'm going to buy new cartridges, but I fear that I will lose more money that this problem will not be solved.  Someone help.  I have uninstalled, reinstalled, cleaned print heads, tried to align the cartridges but error message appears then all new Board would be good.  Thank you

    Hello Cath,

    I'm really sorry to hear about your Photosmart 5510 aligning properly and not printing in black ink. I understand that you have tried to align the printer and it has not solved the problem. I want to help you and make you my best to do it!

    At this point, I do not pretend to try new cartridges (especially black) and trying to do the alignment again. I found a useful troubleshooting guide following which solves the problem, I hope.

    Here's the guide I recommend following step by step:

    A "alignment failed" Error Message appears on the printer

    * Tip - make sure that the printer is connected directly to the wall outlet.

  • new black cartridge does not print

    I just installed a new black cartrdige of ink in my printer HP 6520.  It will not be printed.  I tried soaking of the thought of the cartridge it may be clogged.  That did not help

  • new black cartridge does not work. I have no error message, simply, it does not print in black.

    As noted above, the printer prints just black.  It is a new cartridge.  Not my first rodeo, I replaced the cartridge several times, so I don't know how to do it.  I get no error message.  When you check the ink level, he recorded as complete.    What is happening with this?

    Hi, for the Olympic GAMES of 6500 try the procedure described in the link below...

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01641815

    Otherwise, if the printer is out of warranty, one thing that might be worth a shot is to soak the printhead...

    (1) get a pan and put 1/2 "of very hot (not boiling) water in the bottom.
    (2) remove all ink cartridges, then remove the print head Assembly.
    (3) gently put the printhead nozzles down in water and soak for 5 minutes.
    (4) remove the print head and gently dry the electrical contacts.
    (5) replace the print head in the printer and then reinstall the ink cartridges.

    Photosmart e 5510 all-in-one

    Was completely out of ink installed new black cartridge, do not have color cartridges. Went to copy I get a blank page. The printer sounds like its printing. Purchased with HP printer cartridge

    I'm sorry that you're having this problem, but the printer will NOT work without the color cartridges.

    Even if you chose to print in B & W, the printer still need to use each cartridge colors to mix with black to make a true black color.

    If you put in the color cartridges before printing.

  • HP4620 black cartridge does not print

    My HP4620 all in one - the black cartridge will not print.  I encountered this problem in the past, but it has been resolved with an ink cartridge.  However, this time I replaced the new cartridge and still the black will not print.  I did all the diagnostic tests, use the PIN to clear the vent cleaned as advised printer heads.  This printer is only 16 months old and is not heavy use.  Solution, please?

    Thanks for the number to call. New printer is on its way! This is clearly a systemic problem with this unit.

  • 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!

    Hi Steve

  • DeskJet Ink Advantage 5525 black cartridge do not work

    Hello

    My printer is a Deskjet Ink Advantage 5525. I bought a new cartridge 655, but it did not work in my printer. The printer showed it's a full cartridge but printed paper was empty total! I did the whole method of repair (head and new facilities of cartridge cleanings) with no result. The black bar was too empty on the test page.

    I bought a different brand new black print cartridge 655 and tried everything I could but it's the same!

    I have the latest software for this printer.

    So I have two new black cartridges and I can't print in black! Color only those working!

    Do you think that the printer has gone wrong? Should I buy a new printer?

    Thanks in advance for your advice!

  • New ink cartridges do not work

    I inherited a printer HP Deskjet 3070, which has already been used. I bought new ink cartridges, but when trying to install these has received the error message that I need to use the cartridges of the establishment to assess the ink levels and once this is done can change for the new cartridges.

    Unfortunately, the printer cartridges comes with do not seem to be setting up those and now the printer accept the original or the new.
