• 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?

• Re: HP Photosmart 5510 - will not print using black ink

  I received a WARNING ink level so I went out and bought new cartridges. When I put the new in, black will not print.

  I followed all the instructions on my printer, all the instructions of the hp print & Scan Doctor and went out to buy a new black cartridge in the second.

  tracking of document Hp: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03425035

  Still no black printing.

  I cleaned the print heads.

  So I have three cartridges of "True HP", two of them nine and no black print.

  Are there any other instructions that can be followed to fix my printer? It is more under warranty and there is no way I'm paying for a repair on a printer who leave work when installing a new cartridge.

• 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

  I have this doubles up in Chrome with my printer Officejet 8600.  It seems that Chrome can not correctly send the information for printing in black only.  Try the following: at the bottom of the page of the dialog box print, there is a link «print using the system dialog box...» (Ctrl + Shift + P".  Click on it and then select your Photosmart 5520 and select case displays the options (printing in grayscale, black ink only).

• HP Photosmart 5520 does not print in black ink.

  Black doesn't print not... except on the print quality diagnostics page where the text and black frames around boxes all print in black.  Inside of the 'Black' box is empty, however.  When I try to print a page of type, it is either totally empty or very indistinct.  How is that possible?

  I saw three other posters with this same problem, everything from 21/01/14 and no answers to the problem.  All the patches of troubleshooting on the Web page do no good.

  My warranty has expired also.  Is this a systemic problem?  How do we get fixed?
  

  Hi RAJP-52,.

  Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!

  I understand that the black is not printing on the computer but prints partially on the diagnostics page.

  I'll be happy to help you.

  I don't know what you have tried so far the fix, but I included a few documents to go through the steps to see if we can solve this problem.

  This printer has a permanent print head. You can always run however of cleanups on the print head.

  This document is intended printer does not print black ink or color ink or prints blank Pages.

  Here is a document to clean the contacts of the cartridge.

  'Cartridge problem,' 'Cartridge missing or damaged', or 'Not compatible ink cartridges' Message is displayed on the control panel.

  Please let me know the results if you are still having problems.

  You use genuine HP cartridges?
  Check the date on the cartridge to make sure that they are still in warranty. (not old stock)
  What are the ink levels?

  If you like you can print a new diagnostic test page, scan it and include it in the post, I can take a look to try to find a way to solve this problem.

  Thanks for posting on the HP Forums.
  Good day!

• Photosmart 5510 - will not print in black ink

  PRINTER HAS FAILED - CLOSING OF THE FORUM.

  {title of the origninal thread restored in order to make the more searchable topic}

  This is a simple fast recommendation I would try.

  Remove the cartridges from the printer. Once they are there, try a hard reset of the printer. Once the printer turns and asks the cartridges, then go ahead and implement what their return.

  Follow these steps to perform a hard reset on the printer.

  1. press the power button to turn on the product.

  2. with the product, unplug the power cord from the back of the product.

  3. disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.

  4. wait at least 15 seconds.

  5. plug the power cord into the wall jack.

  6. reconnect the power cord to the back of the product.

  7. If the product does not light by itself, press the power button to turn it on.

  Try and let me know if it helps. If not, there is probably a more serious hardware with the printer problem. Especially if you have experienced already troubleshooting guides. There is still one thing, we can try, which requires a certain type of reset of the printer, but I will have private message you the steps to do this.

  If I was helpful, or if you want to say thanks you can click the White Star under my name to give me congratulations.  I really appreciate it!

  Good luck

• 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?

• PHOTOSMART 5520 WILL NOT PRINT BLACK

  I just replaced the cartridges for my PHOTOSMART 5520.

  After that, color printing has no black color.

  All HP cartridges are not new.

  It's very frustrating.

  for some unknown reason, this problem is gone when I tried printing 2 weeks later.

  To summarize:

  I'm in the United States.

  I replaced the 4 cartridges again purchased at HP online.

  After that, the black will not print if I choose to print in color.

  But if I print in "black and white only", black is in fact works very well.

  I tried everything suggested in the web forum such as cleaning, alignment, prower AC cycle,... etc. He has not fixed the problem.

  I stop using the printer for 2 weeks. But yesterday, I try agin, then the problem is gone.

  I don't know what to say. Thanks to HP for assistance.

  Overall, the servie is nice - just called him several times.

• HP Photosmart 5520 will not print photos

Unlike my previous printer, it doesn't have a slot for a memory card. When I click on "Print" for a picture of the appropriate screen appears on the screen but nothing else happens. Can I do to remedy to this problem please? The printer prints documents with no problems. I use Windows 7 right now

  Hi, what program you use to print photos?

  Have you tried another program?

• HP Photosmart 5520 - will not print black ink

  Photosmart HP 5520 - black ink does not print even with the new cartiage and I did the printhead, cleaning tools and still does not work.    My warranty expires and don't know what to do next.

  Hello heartieluvcatsand welcome to the Forums of HP.

  I understand that you have problems with your black print the result.  I recommend you to perform a power reset. Unplug the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug back in the printer. Make sure that you connect the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any surge protector or power bar.

  After the reset, I would say using this document on fixing of the streaks of ink faded prints and other common Print quality problems

  I also suggest the steps described in this document printer does not print black ink or color ink or prints blank Pages.

  Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting operations. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

• HP Photosmart Plus will not print in black

  Black ink cartridge replaced with 564 XL that I ordered from the HP website.  A ran the test page and got a blank page.  Print heads cleaned twice and still nothing.  Black ink was replaced by another new cartridge that I ordered from the HP website.  Still nothing in black.  Printing color works very well, but nothing black.

  Any ideas?

  Printer is out of warranty and HP Customer Service wants to charge me $24 to see if they can fix it.

  Thanks for your help!

  Nothing I tried seemed to work.

  Gave up and bought a new printer.

  Thanks for the suggestions, if!

• PIXMA MX922 test the right page, but will not print in black ink

  MX922 worked perfectly, and I love this printer. A few days ago, she didn't have to print a tax return online. Assumed there is some problems with the website then I just saved in pdf format. Then it again... fine color prints, but nothing in black. Test page for verification/nozzle is perfect, but did a cleanup anyway. Always the same. Comes with most WORD documents but I created 05/04/16 print - a desire for 4/6, I don't not created. So far, all of the Acrobat & html documents are affected. Have removed and added the printer, but that did not help. I've never been able to use as wireless so it is plugged into USB.

  MAC OS el Capitan. Recently installed Family Tree Maker and perhaps an update from MS Office.

  You will appreciate all suggestions.

  Thank you for your response. You are right... I didn't know there were supposed to be two black grids on the test page. I called technical support and we are working on that.

• HP Photosmart 7350 will not print in black and white

  This camera has served me well for printing color photos and other things for several years.

  Ink is EXPENSIVE, and I have several text documents I want to print. I have several

  56 ink cartridges (black).

  I can simply not a black and white "no photo" to print.

  I tried with the 56 and 57 (beside him) inside AND out. I tried to select in grayscale,

  in all three sub-options (high quality cartridge, black only, optimized for the FAX). Tape

  is NOT yet on the 56 cartridge. I do not use any mode of 'keep the ink' I know.

  The best I can get using the FAX setting optimized (I think) is very pale, a bad quality

  print page - words too dark, I can barely read (light grey). I suspect it is sucking

  the cartridge (cyan-magenta-whatever) 57 to print it.

  I have trouble-shot days before that by typing. I googled this problem both

  in the HP forum and out through Google. What I'm trying to make is so basic and...

  I dare say, 'simple', that I can't believe is not possible.

  Thanks in advance!

  The print head is the rectangular silver part at the bottom of the cartridge on this particular model.  It would seem that the question be electronic printer failed, but before you give up, please try soaking in hot water with one of the printheads. It is possible for the accumulation of ink on the print heads to leave a stain on the fabric during the test, this could be confused with the strong task resulting from a cartridge to work.
