Photosmart 6510 printing problem

My husband has been printing a lot of crossword lately. There the options set to print in black only but our color cartridges seem to be exhausted as soon as the black ink, but rarely, they get used. Anyone know why this is happening?

Hello

As it is a printer based SII little color adjust upward when printing in black. Have you tried printing in Fastdraft?

FYI, more in detail in the link below...

  • Photosmart 6510: photosmart 6510 prints blank pages

    Printer was working fine.  Had to change the cartridge. First of all, I didn't have black and now I don't have much color either.  The printer says I had no real HP though now it shows that I do. I never bought my cartridges anywhere but the staples.  Printing October 2012 have changed many cartridges before you buy.  Followed everything I could find.  Still not printing.

    This model has a permanent print head, this video shows you how to access the print head, so you can manually clean the printer and soak the printhead, it's my own personal recommendation, not one of HPs, is to use the solution proposed in the following videos.  I suggest only doing this if the printer is out of warranty.

    Once you get to the clock at 3:20 minutes, you can stop this video.

Play video 01:24 minutes. HP 5510 will not print black and color - print head removed and cleaned.

    If you have completed all the above steps and your product still has a problem, service the product.

  • Photosmart 6510 "Printer Error" and all lights flash

    I have a 1.5 years, Photosmart 6510 B211a who works well. Now, all lights are flashing and or my USB connected PC (Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit), or my iPad or iPhone (OS 7) connected wireless will be printed.

    When the printer is turned on it goes as usual, wireless and power light stay on and displays correctly (Apps, Snapfish, Photo, copy, Scan), I can print from all devices.

    Symptoms:

    1. in ~ 5 minutes, no noise, all LEDs (displays the screen "Please turn printer then turn it on again."

    2 "(Printer Error is lit above screen, lights beside screen and power and wireless) starts to blink in unison"

    printer does not print

    3, every 10 seconds, a very low "short moan" noise, like something is trying to move inside the printer

    4. when power is cycled it will again be print normally for about 5 minutes and then stop again with flashing lights.

    Have you tried the following.

    1. hard reset (more than once - fired power and USB)

    2. uninstalled and reinstalled software and drivers

    For any help or suggestion will be appreciated.

    Possible solution

    I had the same problem when I moved the printer to a new PC. To end, I decided to change the USB port to which the printer is connected to. well, it worked! Printer now work correctly for wired operation and wireless.

    Not sure if I got a bad USB port or that the cable was not seated properly, or if the USB port had no authority to provide the connection to the printer.

    Hope this helps someont with this problem.

  • Photosmart 6510: Printer not found the new router

    Hello

    The Photosmart 6510 says that it is connected to the network of law with a beep sound intense, works with a usb cable and print a test without error page. BUT nothing comes out when I try to print something with wifi. It remains in the queue. Print and scan doctor finds nothing. WiFi worked before changing internet provider and so the router (I guess that's the name of the area which gives access to the internet). Tried to turn all market again and reinstall of the printer.

    The supplier offered to modify the number of IP printer, that has not helped. Using Windows 7.

    Any ideas?

    Thought I had answered this, but it is not displayed on the site.

    Now printing without cable USB between the router and the printer. I think it's helped the router to communicate the correct number of IP to the printer.

    Anyway, problem solved. Thanks for your efforts!

  • Photosmart 6510 printing on thick paper

    I am trying to print the map of 240gsm on my Photosmart 6510, which so far has worked flawlessly.

    Just rolls do not seem to be able to take it, but HP confirmed that this printer must be able to take in 280gsm card. The printer doesn't seem to be something print, then tells me I have a blockage, and the card must be withdrawn to the rear of the printer with a few black spots stained on the edge of it.

    I don't really want to pay their support costs HP (I'm outside the warranty period) to solve what should work just fine and is not due to the error on my part.  If anyone has experienced this kind of problem before, and if so, what was the solution?

    Hi people,

    The following table lists the input and output tray capacity for plain paper, envelopes, cards, and photo paper for both the 5510 Photosmart HP 6510 e-all-in-one printer in the series.
  • Photosmart 6510 print size is not not to paper size

    Problem: I select paper photo 4 x 6 size when you print from photoshop, the final print has always an empty border 1/2 inch, even during the selection of printing without margins.

    Printer model: HP Photosmart 6510

    OS: Windows 7

    Method of connection: wireless

    Error messages: no error message

    The right driver is not designed to accept custom paper sizes.  You can have the printer to use another driver that supports them well.  I will link to a post with the steps to assign another driver print below.  I hope this helps.

  • Photosmart 6510 print with only black print cartridge?

    Hi, can printing Photosmart 6510 in black & white (not gray, but b & w only) when the black ink cartridge is not empty, but all the other cartridges are? If the color cartridges are not already installed, it will always show b & w?

    Hello

    The 6510 PS will not work if the color cartridges are empty but the black ink.

    However, I think that it would be possible to print using only black ink but to do ink in the cartridges of colour as well because in case of maintenance color cartridges to do little ink in the print head maintenance routines.  When the head is friendly if there was no colour ink this part of the print head could heat upward too or overheat.

    Anyway, back to print in black only.  You mention that you do not want t p rint in black and white so you know where to look in the driver to get to this option. Then in Word, Excel or any program, go to the print function.  Click on properties. Click Advanced. You should see where you have levels of gray.  If you clock in the option box should reveal the other options will be "Black Only". Select this option.

    As I said you should be able to print using only black, but you will need the color cartridges ink.

    Hope this helps.

  • Photosmart D7460: Printing problem

    When printing some elements such as greeting cards or business cards, my printer reproduces all part of the bottom of the print at the bottom of the card.  This does not occur when you print from Word or other programs of type, nor happens when I print photos.  Only on maps.

    Any suggestion would be appreciated!

    Hello @IreneD and welcome to the Forums of HP, I hope you enjoy your experience!

    I see that you are experiencing printing problems. I would like to help!

    I would recommend starting with 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.

    I recommend also to download and run the HP print and Scan doctor.

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

  • Photosmart HP: Printing problems with my HP Photosmart

    I had problems with my photosmart for awhile. For a while, when I would plug into the usb port of my computer, I had received the error "the disk you inserted is not readable by this computer. I used to ignore the error and used to print anyway.

    Yesterday, someone pushes my printer without unplugging the usb by behind. Now, when I try to print something, I see in the queue of the printer, the error message saying "communication error: the computer is therefore more able to communicate with your printer." "Turn off the printer, check your printer connections and look for errors in the printer and turn on the printer. I got it done and straightened my computer as well, but it does not work. After that, I opened the printer utility via my computer to print a test page, and it worked really, which is strange.

    Thanks for your help,

    Sarah

    Hi @stoukan,

    I see that you are getting the error "communication error: the computer is therefore more able to communicate with your printer." Turn off the printer, check your printer connections and search for printing errors and turn the printer. I would like to help you today. If this helps you to find a solution, please click on the button "" accept as Solution"" down below this message. If you want to say thanks for my effort to help, click on the 'Thumbs Up' to give me a Kudos.

    What is the name and the product number of your printer? How can I find my model number or product number?

    Turn on the printer and make sure that the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (do not use a hub or a surge protector) This ensures that the printer is full on and can help this situation. The USB cable should not be more then 6 feet. Make sure that the USB cable is connected directly to the computer. (not a station or a hub) Try a different USB port on the computer. Check that the USB cable is connected to the appropriate port on the back of the printer.

    Check if the Mac sees the printer is connected.

    Go to the Apple, select about this Mac, system report, select USB.
    Do you see the printer listed?

    Fix permissions of the drive on the Mac:
    Close all applications.
    In the Apple menu, click OK, click Applications, and then click utilities.
    Double-click disk utility.
    Highlight your hard drive / partition on the left.
    Click on check and then repair disk permissions.

    Restart the computer...

    Reset the printing system:

    Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer deleted can be re-added later by clicking the sign plus (+) symbol.

    Click on the Apple icon and then click on System Preferences.
    Click on Printers & Scanners.
    Make a right click (or Ctrl + click) in the left white side panel, and then click Reset printing system.
    Click OK to confirm the reset.
    Type the name and the correct password.
    Click OK to reset the printing system.
    Then click on the sign to add the driver, highlight the printer +. (you may need to click the drop down menu to select the name of the printer) Then click the Add button.

    Try to print again.

    If you're still having problems, please try another USB cable.

    If there is anything else I can help you, let me know. Thank you.

  • HP Photosmart D5460 printing problem using the cd/dvd tray

    Just bought a HP Photosmart D5460 solely for printing cd/dvd directly on cd/dvd labels.

    The problem I have prints a label on a Verbatim CD Vinyl.

    It is a normal 80 min CD - r but with an edge of vinyl and a 70mm print Center.

    When put in a fake cd (12mm diameter) cardboard, printing is excellent, exactly as it should.

    But as soon as I put in a CD of vinyl, the label is printed below the disc on the disc tray - holder, approx. 80mm below the mark where it should be.

    It drives me crazy, that everyone has seen this error before?

    Calibration is not help me... Also used almost every label possible software out there (Surething, Acoustica, Nero and Photoshop plain) who all give me the same result.

    Yes, I think that's the problem.

    I cut out a circle of plain white paper, which is the size of a cd and cut out the Center (a little more fat then 70mm of the printable area of the disc). Put on vinyl with tape adhesive tape and now it prints exactly on the label, to make it work.

    The black color of the disc must be the problem.

  • Photosmart c4580 print problem

    Unfortunately, the problem of compatibility makes it is a bit difficult.  The update of the firmware will fix the problem, but it does not work with 10.8.

    The only way to get the updated firmware update is to find a system that uses OS X 10.5 or more.  The update utility lists Mac OS x 10.4, Mac OS X 10.5 and Mac OS X as in charge.  I suspect that the last option, although it is not listed, is 10.6.  10.6 may work, but I recommend you find a 10.5 system to ensure the update will be a success.

  • Driver of HP Photosmart C6280 printer problem

    Hello!

    I bought the above mentioned model printer, and I installed the drivers in the manner recommended by the manual. The printer works well and does what I expect from him. But there is one thing that annoys me.

    The printer is connected to my home network

    Drivers are installed on all (two) computers in my house.

    On my old trusty laptop running Windows XP Pro, it works very well, but when I connect it to a network in other places, a svchost.exe process starts to run at 100% and to use all free CPU resources in my computer. This svchost running a process called HPSLPSVC. If I reconnect the computer on my home network, it comes down to normal loads of CPU again.

    Is it possible to 'reverse', the printing software to say when I'm not at home? This situation of CPU load makes the computer run the much more common fan, which is annoying in addition to one.

    I hope to have this work, or I'll be forced to install a queue shared on my home server.

  • Photosmart C7180 printing problem

    So, here's a strange, my Photosmart C7180 age of 9 months has developed a bad habit to print all pages in landscape mode. I used the printer almost daily for 9 months, but 2 days ago I started to notice this weird quirk when printing multiple-page documents. I can't verify what may have triggered (this software or an OS update) because it is possible that I haven't printed documents several pages for a few weeks. I checked for the OS/App/Firmware updates and checked that I have the latest drivers and software. I restarted the two systems and reset the default settings for the printer.

    I can print a single page in Portrait mode, but if I have 3 pages print the 2nd page comes out in landscape. I can print the 2nd page individually and it is fine. It happens that I print from Microsoft Word, or even if you use the Microsoft Photo Editor or HP Photosmart software.

    I use the TCP/IP connection to print from my laptop Microsoft XP (even though I just checked that this happens when you use Bluetooth as well).

    Everyone knows it or have one could explain why it seems to be possesed?
