• HP4480: will not print in black

  I have recently upgraded to the version of windows in 10 home edition 1511.  I have a HP4480 that is compatible with windows 10.  It is updated with the correct drivers.

  My printer will be printed in black and white if I copy a document on the printer, HOWEVER it will not print in black and white if I print a document on my laptop or from a Web page.  I'm also using Microsoft Edge.

  I run Scan Doctor, clean my print heads, made sure everything is aligned, but can not determine why I can not print in black and white the computer laptop but can from the printer.

  The diagnostic message only I received is "peripheral composite USB does not work with USB 3.0' I have no idea what this means and don't think that I have the choice for the ports on my Inspiron 15R laptop 5520.»

  I've also posted on the Microsoft forums but really need to get the printer works with the operating system and cannot afford to buy a new printer just because I upgraded.

  Any help is appreciated.

  Thank you.

  I solved the problem.  For some reason, my real print HP 60 cartridge was the question.   Almost empty, I left forward without problem.  Once I replaced the cartridge, all now print correctly in black and white.

• Photosmart 6510 does not print in black

  My photosmart 6510 does not print in black. I presume that it was the cartridge but I replaced the cartridge and it still does not print. I cleaned the print heads and the cartridge ink levels are full.

  The printhead, cleaning of the screen failed touchscreen printer running.  But when I sat down at my computer and used the program utility printing, he did.  I ran an initial print head cleaning my computer and then clicking the button indicating that the print heads were NOT clean.  He then ran a deep cleansing process.  Then I lined up the printheads of the same print utility program.  Now it works!

• 6510 all-in-one does not print in black

  Hello

  So my off-warranty 6510 has started to not print in black. I bought this in August 2012, and it has been pretty reliable.

  Now it just won't print black. I searched through these forums and I feel like a big community now - I'm not alone with this problem.

  I did print without end cleaning of the printer head and my PC (until the option has disappeared!). Print head alignment failed. And I have replaced the cartridge.

  As it is not in warranty, I took the print head and gave him a * beep * clean. When he was replaced, it only printed a page in black (bad), then no more.

  Print in color if fine, except now (after that numerout head cleans) most of the ink levels are low.

  Stupidly, I expect a miracle and that a HP representative will respond and provide a kind of solution, but I think I know it's out of the dumpster. It'll be the 3rd death of HP printers in 4 years (the first 2 were replaced by the store - Costco).

  At least now that my stock of cartridges is exhausted, I am not bound to HP again as if I was the last time.

  Sort problem. Thank you very much for your support.

• Want 5530: Printer does not print in black ink

  I recently updated my HP 8.1 Windows of Windows 10 laptop.  I have the same type of printer (Envy 5530) installed at my other House and updated my desktop computer for Windows 10 and had no problem with printing, but now I'm with the laptop.  I try to print documents now and the printer does not print anything using black ink.  Color ink prints, black ink just not. The two jets of ink are filled.  I did all the "try these patches" suggested Windows and HP Print doctor.  I uninstalled and reinstalled the printer twice.  I rebooted the computer several times.  I'm no tech person by any means and have no one to help me or ask what else to do. Can someone help me understand this please?  Thank you!

• My HP 6500 E709A will not print in black.

  My HP Officejet 6500 E709A Series does not print in black. I have put in a new cartridge, made all of the recommended tests, even reset when you unplug the unit for 20 seconds then hold # and 3 and plug it in but it didn't work. Help!

  Unfortunately, all do not have to be fixed, because the black print head w as worn, so I had to get a new one. At least they are cheaper now!

  All of a sudden, my printer does not print in black. I replaced the cartridge with a new black cartridge with the same result. All other colours print fine. I checked the settings on the device and it shows that the black cartridge is full.

  Hello bcgoodwrench,

  I don't see you mention the presence of 'BLACK'.

  
  If there was no black printing, then I would say you call the HP Technical Support for assistance.

  If you are in the United States, the toll free # is 1-800-474-6836 .

  If you are not in US , then log on to www.hp.com , bottom left there is a world map icon, click it, and then select the region that you belong to, which would then provide the support options for you for this region.

  Kind regards

• Photosmart HP 5510 - will not print using black ink

  I have problems with my HP Photosmart 5510 all-in-One printer, because it will not print in black. All cartridges are brand new and are genuine HP cartridges. I've never used anything other than HP cartridges, and I believe that I have would be considered a very light printer user.

  I use a HP Pavilion Desktop PC (Vista Home Premium) connected to the printer via a USB cable.

  I have to 'reset' the printer (power cable removed for 20 seconds), I cleaned the print heads and tried to re-alignment of the printer.

  I ran HP print and Scan diagnostics and do the message "Everything out OK with your product." I then print a test page which "fails", that there is no black ink in use. The diagnosis confirms that the ink levels are all OK and that my printer uses HP authentic and than Normal inks or better quality is selected.

  The printer is a little over a year old and as mentioned has had very light use.

  There is no error - every reason to believe that everything is OK.

  I wish I had a solution to this problem.

  As by chance my previous printer a HP Photosmart 3210 all-in-One failed in a similar way, although in this case, the black was fine, it was impossible to print colors correctly. Once the printer was just out of warranty.

  Curiously enough and fortunately like few others on the forum a few days after the installation of the new cartridge, it seems to work perfectly fine again.  any ideas as to why this happens?

• 6500 all in One - will not print in black, no error message

  Twice now, I sent a cartridge black staple, thinking that there was something wrong with it because the printer would print fine for the first copies of 20-40, then stops.  When it happened a third time, I started thinking maybe this isn't the ink cartridges.  Just the printer does not print in black.  Can I change the font color of blue and all is well.  When I try to print something from black, the printer ACTS like it was printing but nothing comes up except the color elements.  The diagnostics show no problem, that the printer has no error message, even shows the full ink cartridge (which is)... but it just will not print in black.

  Try to soak the printhead as described in this post.

• Does not print any black ink

  Hello, I have a Photosmart C6380 all-in-One Printer.  It will not print in black ink.  The other colors work very well.  I changed the 4 smaller cartridges because they were all low or empty.  The larger black cartridge is about half full, perhaps slightly slot so I have not yet changed.  When I print, it prints all colors except black.  I really want to buy another cartridge with him still having a lot of ink left.  However, the other day I tried to make a copy just for the heck of it.  Dang, he printed the copy very well.  I shook my cartridge twice.  The first time right before printing to think perhaps this would help.  The second time right before I did the copy.  So why will it work for the party copy, but not printing?

  I also tried assigning the factory settings, but that didn't help either.  Also, I had problems with the office, so I can't try it print again until I get this job.  I tried to download the software of the printer on my laptop, but it does not work.  I would also like to be able to print wireless with my laptop and printer.  How can I do once I get the downloaded software?

  Thank you!

  Color cartridges are typically used when you print copies unless the printer is set for improved text and the copied document is recognized as text.  Try to print a page of test, as shown in step 4 here.  If black is not printing, follow the steps in troubleshooting in this page, especially looking at the vents and cleaning of the print head.  After the first seven steps, if the problem persists the following may help.

  Please read this post then provide some details.   What operating system?  Running the diagnostics to http://www.hp.com/go/tools can help solve the problem.

• HP 6500 709n printer will not print in black.

  Cartridges have been replaced and cleaned twice printer heads.  still will not print in black.

  Had the same problem with the same printer. I had to get out of ink cartridges and cleaning the printhead tray manually. If you search online you will find the instructions step by step on how to remove the print head Assembly. First, I tried to clean by soaking in hot water for several minutes. It has not helped, although others said it worked for them. Then I used alcohol to friction on the screen black printhead. Also, I soaked a mixture diluted CLR (calcium, lime, rust) the whole print head and used a swap of cue tip to gently clean the print heads... I rinsed off the coast of all very well in water and carefully dried. I used compressed air to a box to blow the print heads and help in the dry. I reinstalled the Assembly and the ink cartridges and the black ink was working. I was disappointed that none of this information is actually detailed by HP for this printer troubleshooting. Good luck. You will need to repeat the process several times, as I did.

• New Photosmart 5520 will not print in black

  I have a new HP Photosmart 5520 printer all-in-one.  Black ink ran out so I replaced it with a previously used ink cartridge which is of the same type # 564 but a XL version.  This cartridge has been barely used.  Now, I just can't get anything to print in black.  It will print in color, but not black.  I tried to turn off the printer.  I put the cartridge in my printer and it worked fine.  What should I do?
