P703w all-in-one printer black ink does not print right.
When I print a black and white document, only a few impressions, but it's very light. No words will print at all. I callibrated, cleaned print heads, went out and reinstalled the dell ink cartridges. I don't know what else to do.
Hi lionness91,
White pages or impressions of light can be caused by any of the following reasons:
- Ink cartridges are not installed.
- Ink depleted.
- Failure of the print head.
Here are some steps we can try in this case:
- Reinstall the ink cartridges. If the cartridges do not seem to fit, make sure that the print head is installed and re - install the cartridges again.
- Try using a spare cartridges to reproduce the problem. We would be able to locate it to a cartridge impoverished if the replacement cartridge helps you to print correctly.
- Load plain paper.
- In the printer control panel, press menu .
- Press the arrow keys to scroll to maintenance, and press OK.
- Press the arrows to scroll to print head deep cleaning, then press on OK. Print a cleaning page.
- Press the arrow keys to scroll to align printerand press OK. Print an alignment page.
Note: does not remove the alignment page until printing is complete. - Select a higher print quality in the printer software. To select a better print quality:
- Your document open, click file print.
- The print dialog box opens.
- Click Preferences, Properties, Options, or Setup (depending on the program or operating system).
- The Print Options dialog box opens.
- On the Print Setup tab, select a higher quality setting.
- Reprint the document.
- Make sure that the Firmware is updated to the latest version from the link: http://dell.to/13SF1D7
- Make sure that you have selected the right operating system before you start to download the firmware.
- Print head needs to be removed and the cover must be closed before you upgrade the firmware.
- After the update of the firmware, install the print head and try to print.
- If the steps above do not resolve the problem, you can consider replacing the print head service kit.

The black prints just a small piece of the upper part of the letters on the pages of diagnostics and in grayscale on the test pages.

HP Deskjet 2540 all-in-one: HP Deskjet 2540 does not print
I bought my printer a while ago and implemented so I could print wireless from my Mac. The other day I had to print some PDF documents and printed first, but the other two never printed. In the queue, it says "ready to print" and the two buttons wireless to the printer are turned on. It also does not print when I connect it to the USB port. But when I print the test page, which printed fine.
Hey @bess-stanton1,.
Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!
I see that you have some problems with your machine printing Mac OSX 10.11 for the all-in-one printer Deskjet 2540. I can help you with that.
To start, make sure that the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet, not a surge protector. Once done:
- Disconnect the USB cable if it is connected.
- Turn the printer off.
- While the printer is turned off, disconnect the power cable from the back of the router.
- When the lights come back on the router, turn on the printer.
- Close any programs you have open.
- On your Mac, click on your Apple icon, system preferences and printers and Scanners.
- Hold down the CTRL key and click on an icon of your printer on the left.
- Click on reset printing system.
- Click the 'more' in the lower left corner.
- Select your printer from the list.
- Click in the box next to and select your printer from the list.
- Click on Add.
Please let me know if you can print after you follow the above. If you can, please click on accept solution. If you appreciate my help, please click on the thumbs up icon. The two icons are below this post.

HP Officejet 6500 ink cartridge 920, Vista - alignment failed, black ink does not print
I went through the diagnostic process because my printer gives me a view of alignment failed and my black ink will not print. It is established that I need to replace the print head. Is it complicated? What should I do when I need the printer/fax every day? I have no time for that computer to be down for a day, and even less for as long as it takes to get the part here and replace it myself. Or worse, if I send to HP to have the work done.
Replacement of the print head is not complicated, it can be done in 5 minutes. Before doing this, you could be sure that the ventilation openings are not connected and you might try to soak the printhead as shown here.

black ink does not print HP Photosmart all-in-one
I have new cartridges and after installation black will not print. All other colors are pring.
Hi Luv2dance728,
Thanks for the reply and the information
I suggest you start as a result of this document for Troubleshooting print quality problems, should be able to help you to get black ink works again. If it isn't, you can also try manually cleaning your print head to make sure there isn't a buildup preventing out black ink.
If the printer still won't print black ink, it is perhaps an accumulation inside the print head or on the beak and to help solve this problem, you can follow the instructions in Bob_Headrick in this post on soak your printhead.
If after these three things, black is not always print, it's a hardware problem with the printer print head and I suggest to call HP Support and inquire about their exchanges of and the trade program.
Hope this helps, have a nice day!
