Photosmart 5520: ink exhausted too fast

Photosmart 5520, I bought 4 months ago. Initially impressed. He ran out of black ink in double quick time. I concluded that HP half filled cartridges supplied with the printer. I put in a new black cartridge and is also sold out, already. Both should print 500 pages! It's a ream of paper. I know that I don't have something like this amount of paper used and would guess that I used less than 150 sheets, some in color. This is unacceptable. One has a similar experience or know what to do?

Thanks Shlomi. It looks like this. But as a realistic customer returns are important rather than those that manufacturers choose advantageously, to quote. In addition, let's say that my impression is 50/50 color/black and white. Who is llikely averaged over several months. Since the color returns are 300 pages and 250 black. Then 2xblack cartridges should finally basket 600 to 1000 pages and 1xcolour. I guess that the number of pages is not make the difference between color and b & w.
All cartridges now show low and it does not print anything. So 5 cartridges total allowed me to print of 365 pages. I think it is very very poor. 10 p per page is ridiculous in my opinion. I use photosmart for a further period of 6 months and then throw to a more economic type. My old Epsom was much better and still works. No Wi - Fi tho. I can come back

  • HP Photosmart 5520 ink carriage move

    My husband recently bought a HP Photosmart 5520 printer while overseas, it was mailed to me and he always tells me that one or more of the cartledges ink are broken or missing and should be replaced, but when I up open transport of ink access door won't move at all and I cannot even make it move using my hands help Please?

    My cartridge was blocked completely to the right, could not move at all. After having much jiggling autour and try to pull to the left the transport kind of jumps down a little more inside to the right.  I tried to pull it to the left, but he was stuck again as something he was blocking, and it came to the top when I shot more difficult.  I messed with it to the point where the transport jumped down, and then I plugged the printer in and it worked very well. I know not what was wrong with it exactly, but it seemed to fix it

    The ink on the new cartridge is now... 45% or something. How his as possible! If the pages came out completely of white100 euro, in the trash, past time for anything on this site/forum... I do not understand how you are allowed to sell bad products on the market.

    HP Photosmart 5520

    2 operating system installed (if applicable)

    Used HP 564xl ink pack opposite Greentec for genuine HP cartridges.

    THE PROBLEM:

    I don't know if it's a problem of printer or an ink problem.

    I never had a problem with my printer when buying original cartridges of HP (564).

    I started having problems a month using a Greentec HP 564xl pack (ink jet cartridges reconditioned) that stipulate "Using Greentec remanufactured cartridges does not cancel the warranty of your printer.

    I have attached a picture of what is happening and gradually each page becomes worse until the photos looked like they a 'filter' used these obviously they should not have to orange/pink.

    I did several "clean print heads" and "smear own ink" that doesn't seem to work. However, after a week of not to use my printer, it seems, print your photos as usual after the 3rd consecutive page, streaks begins to appear (very sweet), but in print to keep pages it gets worse.

    Here is an analysis of the diagnostic print quality. (black has small lines, blue is full...) I do not know.. Pink and yellow seem to.

    Hi bbjae,

    Welcome to the HP forums!

    I'm sorry to hear you had problems with your Photosmart 5520 since switching to a generic brand of ink, but I'll certainly do my best to help!

    Since the problem started only once you have changed the generic brand of ink, I tend to call as the culprit to your question, but that does not mean we cannot try some in any case of troubleshooting

    I would recommend that you start to try the steps in this document setting streaks of ink, faded prints and other common print quality problems , and you can also try the steps in this document printer does not print black ink or color of ink or prints blank Pages .

    If the problem persists, it may be time to look in the switch on HP brand cartridges, because if these two documents may not solve the problem then, I feel much more confident in her pinning on the cartridges

    Let me know how things are going for you!

  • HP Photosmart 5520, question of black ink

    Hi all

    I just bought a 'HP Photosmart 5520'... Today

    I scoured the internet looking for answers to this question, I tried all the steps on pages I found... including all the steps listed here.

    As I only bought the printer today, I use certainly authentic HP ink, as I am with those who came in the box.

    I write a copy of a poster that I have on my computer... the left image was made using my new HP 5520... the right one was printed using a printer that is about 7 years old (I've deleted sensitive information)...

    As you can clearly see, the quality of the new printer is seriously not the height.

    Any help would be most appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    Needless to say I will be closed this account

  • Photosmart 5520 of printing quality

    I recently bought a photosmart 5520. It's my fourth HP printer. So far, I've been more than happy with the HP printers and that's why I've stuck with them.

    I am extremely disappointed by the print quality of the 5520. When you print a document in black Black is almost gray. It just doesn't seem to be enough ink and when printing photo skin tones are not accurate. It seems to be too much red.

    I got a deskjet 2180, which is only a printer not expensive but the quality of the print is much better than the print quality of the 5520.

    I want to know y at - it a setting that I can do to improve the print quality of my 5520 or is it a matter of "what I see, this is what I get.

    Please notify. I await your response.

  • HP PhotoSmart 5520 will not print in black

    Hello

    Recently, I bought a printer Photosmart HP 5520. I have tested it and love the printer!
    I was testing to print some pages in internet (wireless) and given my laptop (HP, too ;-)) the command to print the pages in black. But when the pages came out of the printer, they were in color?

    Please is there any topic on this forum where I can fix this or does anyone know how to solve?

    Kind regards

  • Difference between Photosmart 5520 and 5524?

    Hello

    Potentially, I'll buy one of the above listed HP printers but I am a little confused, they are all both the same series and have apparently exactly the same specifications, but differ from the model numbers?

    In the curries too, they are £10 apart but comes with additional sets of ink?

    If anyone has the answers I'd love to hear them.

    Thank you.

    Hey Callumh003,

    HP has made several different models of the same basic design.  The Photosmart 5520 and Photosmart 5524 are the same printer model, however what comes in the box is the difference.  Similarly, there is a Photosmart 5522 in some areas, and the difference, it's also what comes in the box of the Photosmart 5520 base.

    I hope this helps clarify.

  • Print Photosmart 5520, 14 Chromebook and internet

    I bought a HP 14 Chromebook for mother's day so I could give my DIL my laptop Windows 8 because all I used it for was e-mail and internet anyway and she had needed a new so I thought, this the heck, let's get the Chromebook and check it out.

    I'm in love.  However, at the point where I just had a printer classic when I wanted to print, so I had to turn to my 8 year old office (now under Win 7) so I was able to print via the cloud.

    Recently, my old HP printer (can you tell I love the HP products?)  Nope, not a representative paid or brown noser - I know just a good product when I use one and saw that I was involved in computers since 83, I know a little about them) quit printing black that is really bad, so I decided to buy a wireless network.

    Without even really too attentive, I bought (I thought at the time) was a HP Deskjet printer - I need my copy and scanning - fax is not serious - and it had to be wireless.  I did not notice that what I GOT was the Photosmart 5520 with the ePrint feature.  I was in heaven.

    And it WORKED!  Except that... for 1 small problem... it will not print in color and it wouldn't print via the net (I understood the problem of the internet, btw, for those of you who experience this issue even - if you look at your choice of the printer, you will see your 5520 and who says 5520 (Networking) - make sure you select the one that says just 5520 - NOT the network driver).

    However, when I want to print color I spin on my desk of dinosaur and select the moment ungrayed to 5520 networked.  I figured out how to print 2 sides (too cool! Saving a ton of paper) not too bright on how slowly it prints my chromebook either - have not tried since my office again - it is connected wireless as well so it can print a little faster on a Windows-based computer.

    Regardless of all this - is it possible to print on the net so that it is in color without having to turn to my office, and then select 5520 Networking?

    Sorry for all the foreign info - sometimes I find I will mention something that seems out of place to me, but is in fact something with that someone is having a problem and get the answer they need.

    Anyway, in the hope of finding that I'll be able to print in color, even without turning on the dinosaur.

    Thanks for the help.

    Hi Jodi,

    I have a solution for you! My wife came home with a teal HP 14 Chromebook today, what a wonderful laptop! In any case, I added my ePrint printer and tried to reproduce the problem you described. Well, my first print job came out black and white, like yours. And I even made sure that I got the chosen color. I gave him another chance and took a slightly different path and it was released in color. Here's what you need to do... When the print window appears, on the scroll on the left down until you see "print using Google Cloud Print dialogue... ", then select it. Then, select your printer, and then change the color setting of Grey_CMY in color or Monochrome for black printing and true white.

    The print dialog boxes are not pair, I don't know why that is. There may be a buried setting or maybe it's just the way it is for now. If it's like that, it shoudn't be that way and will probably be fixed in a future Chome OS update. In the meantime, I'll post here if I find a permant framework.

  • 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?

  • 403 on photosmart 5520 server connection error

    Me too I have a 403 error code on my photosmart 5520. I have the router off turner & 5520, I have a connection, but still can not scan to e-mail.

    Hello @TPGJT,

    Welcome to the forums of HP.

    I understand you are having a problem connecting to the server when you try to scan to e-mail.

    I would like to help.

    I recommend that you set a manual DNS.

    I had the most success when using Google's DNS address.

    8.8.8.8 primary school

    Alternate 8.8.4.4

    The post following happytohelp01 has instructions for a manual DNS configuration.

    The post is for a Photosmart 7510, but the procedure will be very similar.

    Re: Efax 7510 still will not work after having extinguished/turned-on ePrint several times

    He has a few good steps in troubleshooting for this type of problem.

  • Photosmart 5520: Computer does not connect to Photosmart 5520 more

    Hello

    I have a printer HP Photosmart 5520 which, until recently, worked absolutely fine! I even upgraded my laptop to Windows 8 to 10 and the printer continued to work perfectly.

    However, a few weeks ago the printer no longer. In other words: when I try to send a print job to the printer from my laptop (wireless), the computer says it can't find the printer. The printer is on, certainly on the same network as the laptop's wireless and nothing has changed in this network. But I keep getting errors.

    I tried to solve the problem by deleting the printer in my computer and re-install the drivers, but when trying to run the driver installation program, it cannot locate my printer either. I can't locate even by manually typing the IP address of the printer (as Setup request)... Yet I don't know still certainly both devices are in the same network and I also double, triple checked the typed IP address.

    I really don't know what else to do. I also do not understand the problem at all, because I have absolutely nothing changed in my computer or network... the printer became simply "inaccessible".

    I'm now work around the problem by using e-print (send documents to print my eprint address), but I don't like this option because one) it's unnecessarily complicated. and (b) whenever you post a document, the printer prints an extra page with the e-mail address and it is a waste of paper and ink.

    So if someone could help me with my driver/connection problem, I would be very grateful!

    Thank you

    Lenny
