• HP Photosmart Premium C410a: why my photo ink cartridge drain when I'm not print photos?

  I usually use the grayscale mode to print only text documents and sometimes use the ColorSmart sRGB option for full-color documents. I have a black cartridge installed XL, as well as the three color cartridges and a photo (bowtie) cartridge. Even with that usage model, it seems that my photo cartridge frequently needs replacement. Also, I can't print a text only document in grayscale when the photo cartridge is low - even if the XL cartridge is new. It's not logical for me. Is there a setting I need to change for my printer pulls the XL cartridge instead of the photo?

  Hello

  What is your printer? Grayscale option will use all colors and mix with the black mark that so it uses ink photo (black) more than normal. If you want to use black ink only, you must select black ink only in grayscale options (drop-down in the value of the preferences menu).

  Kind regards.

• Black ink for HP 6510 cartridge does not print

  I just replaced ALL my ink cartridges in my 6510 and all color cartridges works but is not black.  I have been through all of the troubleshooting steps and won't lose more colorful inks, re-joining again.  The black ink cartridge is an XL.  How will I know if I have a faulty cartridge?  I only use HP cartridges.

  Thanks for getting back to me.  Put a new black cartridge in earlier yesterday and I did not always receive an appropriate test page.  The two top lines would be nice and the rest were completely disappear.  I also downloaded a driver updated, thinking that this could be the proglem.  Same results.  I dropped.

  Last night, I decided to try the suggestion again to remove the cartridges, disconnect the printer, then reconnect again.  When I ran a test page then, it came out perfect!  So, either the Black XL cartridge I had initially installed with color inks was faulty or the driver was bad.  Depending on what it was, thanks for the suggestions.  So far, we have set ourselves.

  My only suggestion to HP would be coming with the test pages and alignment/diagnosis who do not use all my ink before using it for the purpose for which I use my printer... printing!

• Printer says I have ink in the cartridges but will not print black

  I have an HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m.  I am frustrated because for now, it will not print anything black.  The color setting shows that I have sufficient ink in all cartridges, including the ordinary and photo black black.  Should I assume that I have a bad ink cartridge (even if it was printing without problem), or is a printer problem?  I ran to the print head clean definition, but it did not help.

  It could be the cartridges, but I doubt it.  What you can try, is not this video, I'm going to the link below and also Bob Headrick printhead soaking.  I hope that will fix him

• Black ink HP Photosmart Premium all-in-One Printer - C309g - questions

  I recently replaced all ink except the black picture. I get no black ink print. Must the black photo cartridge be replaced if it is low for any black to print even if it is not printing?

  Don't print at all?  If so, this could be because that (all) one of the ink cartridges is empty.

  And all of this does not help. My HP 3525 does not print black.

  Moreover, if I print a test page for the printer, I see racks, which are printed in black!

  At the same time, the black level is not printed!

  Please, help to repair!

  Hi @MobileWanted,

  The printer is probably using composite black. A mixture of the color cartridges will create black.

  The print head is probably clogged. This model has a permanent print head. 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 a HP printer, printing black ink not.

  If the printer is still under warranty, please call for a replacement printer.

  Thank you!

• I don't have that black ink I'll still be able to print on my hp series photosmart more b210

  I have an HP Photsmart B210 Series printer but I don't have black ink. I get a msg "ink cartridge problem"... I can print with black ink only or do I need to have all color cartridges to print? Thanks if you can help...

  Sorry, but you will have all color cartridges in also, so that the printer to operate. The reason is that all the cartridges color another use to mix together to make a true black print. If you have color cartridges that are WEAK, it may work for a while, but it cannot work without. Thank you, hope that helped.

• Ink advantage 1515: HP 1515 does not print

  Hello!  have the same exact problem with ELZOLEE posted on 06/08/2015. I did the instructions in case of problem, but I had a problem with step 2, add the replacement driver.

  "In the devices and printers folder right click on your HP Officejet Pro 6830 and left click on printer properties."

  I can't find the HP Officejet Pro 6830 in my file devices and printers. Help, please! Thank you!!

  What is your operating system? What is the problem with printing?  Did you run the print and Scan Doctor http://www.hp.com/go/tools ?  What were the results?  What happens when you try to print - are there any error messages?  The blinking lights on the printer?  The printer goes through the motions of printing, but the pages are blank?

• Black paint in Photoshop when I do not use black?

  Good then it's just started yesterday. I was painting in photoshop and beginning to color what I drew, but for some reason any, he started black paint in the color I use. I have no idea why he did this. I do everything in separate layers and I had no more to whether black color even as you can see in the picture below. I use a wacom tablet, but I don't think he does it because of that. I just tested this theory by using my classic mouse, and he continues to paint black. I must add, is not all that is painted black, it's just some parts. Also, I use PS cs6. Someone knows how can I fix?

  Take a look at the brush mode in the Options bar

  [EDIT]  Just to add that if you tried painting outside the beige color, I think you would have guessed right away that it was a problem of mixing mode.

• After you have installed the new cartridge HP do not print black ink

  HP Officejet 4620, Windows 7... installed new HP black ink cartridge and now it will not print black at all. I followed all the advice line in the help section, even cleaned the vents on the cartridge itself but shows only the white page. No error message is displayed. Diagnostic ran and says it all works correctly. Also cleaned printheads through 2 cycles still nothing. Any other suggestions? It was working fine before inserting the new black ink cartridge.

  Hi Teresa1960,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I see that you are facing some print quality problems on your HP Officejet 4620 you cannot print in black ink.

  You have completed all THE steps listed here: printer does not print black ink or color of ink or prints blank Pages, without success.

  Please note: there are three stages of print head cleaning. Three steps if necessary. If the print head is badly clogged, it may require another round of cleaning. If so, wait 30 minutes after the last step of cleaning (third) to start the first stage of the cleanup process.

  If you are unable to print in black ink, I think that the issue may be the printer and not the cartridge. I highly recommend call you our technical support at the 800-474-6836, I'm sure they will be able to help you regardless of the status of the guarantee.

• stop of using photo black ink to print black text and where is past the color ink?

  My HP Photosmart Prem C310 series all-in-one is using the Photo black ink cartridge for printing of text instead of the Black XL that I put in for the printing of the text. How can I use the right to print cartridge? In addition, even if I haven't printed ANY photo and a few pages of text from the new series of color cartridges that I put in, a few months ago are almost empty. Why? How could they be almost empty when I haven't printed anything in color? This is getting ridiculous replacement cartridges every few months WHEN I WAS NOT PRINT anything!

  The ink cartridges game accompanying lasted several months. Since then, I've been through two sets in less than a year. It is 3 sets of ink cartridges when I printed only 3 photo when I first put in place. And have only used the than a 1/4 of a pack of paper to print. I put only two times more paper in it. Whenever it was an inch to 1/4 or 3/8 of a stack of thick inch of paper in the tray. I even tried to close the low printer so its not used for a long period of time, but the ink is still disappear. Where's he going? Why is it okay? How can I stop it? This is ridiculous. I may as well junk the thing even if it still works, because I can not aford to keep feeding ink when its just sitting there doing nothing most of the time.

  Thank you

  The c310a will use the photo black for printing in black if photographic Support is selected in the paper type, or if the setting is automatic and media are detected as photographic support.

  This printer has to separate supplies for printing and ink heads and little ink is required in all the colors to avoid the print head clogged.  The page here discusses how ink is used.

• When I try to print in black and white, my picture is flooded with blue ink

  Hello! I made sure that all print settings were correct. I did a cleanup of the heads and made sure that the inks were all full. I put six by four inches of the printer and used hp advanced photo paper. I put the gray-scale printing, as there is no settings for black and white.

  When the picture came through, he started to gray scale and further to the bottom of the image has been flooded with blue ink. I have an all in one printer fax C309 series. can someone help me please?

  It seems that the print head may have a problem. Lets go to the printing preferences for the printer (these can already be defined this way if yes let us know). In this window on the left column of the impression of the shortcuts can choose Fast/economic and set printing in grayscale on the right of "Black ink" only If your setting has been set to high quality try again to print. If you were already set to "Black ink" only under the grayscale option the printer may require repair.

• Photosmart HP 7510: Change what black ink cartridge is used.

  Our 7510 HP ink slots for small and XL cartridges, however it will not use the small cartridge ink. How to change the parameters to pass to the thin cartridge XL, small is running out of ink and I can't find the black ink cartridge (Photo) in stores now. I bought two 'small', one was a XL, not labelled as such and we ordered cartridges from HP on the web and they were too big too. I need to be able to use the XL Black ink cartridge that is installed.

  Thank you..

  Hello

  First, XL ink cartridges are physically the same size with normal cartridges (same number). The difference is more inks XL cartridges.

  Your printer has 2 black ink cartridges, one narrower called Photo ink cartridge and one large/more bigger called black ink cartridge. When printing in grayscale, the printer will mix all the colors to give B & W. If you want to print black ink only, you must indicate to your printer. Please try

  (a) double-click the desktop printer icon.
  (b) click on set preferences.
  (c) click on advanced.
  d select "Black ink" only for printing in grayscale
  (e) click Ok/apply.
  
  Note: printer must still all color inks and it will consume a very small amount of ink over the warmng of trial.
  
  Kind regards.
