Photosmart 6510: PS 6510 won't print black

• HP photosmart 6510 won't print black.

  I've done all the troubleshooting several times, still nothing.

  When I print the printer status report, there are black square brackets around each colour, but not black rectangle in black space.  I tried to copy a printout (no color) and the page is blank.  I cleaned the black cartridge screen gently with a paper towel, still nothing.  I tried 2 new black cartridges.  Printer was working fine, then that.

  I found a solution! My printer was also not print black, but I knew it wasn't a problem of ink because it was a new cartridge, I cleaned the print head with every suggestion I could find, and on the test pages it was printing black in square brackets the colored lines. It was a software problem.  Another post suggested using the drivers replacing for a paper size error. Please see the link below on how to choose replacement drivers...

  I chose HP Photosmart 3300 drivers because this printer had similar features, including wireless printing. It worked! I hope this helps!

• Photosmart Premium 309 a won't print black

  My Photosmart Premium 309 a printer will not print black text. Just imagined colors.

  I tried new cartridges (twice - at great expense!) head cleaning, cleaning deep head, aligning the head and tried to soak the printhead in hot water several times now and then cleaning and deep cleaning again and then yet another new series of cartridges, still no black - not a pinch!

  Would it be a mistake to electrical connection with the contacts? Or is the print head itself a goner - seems such a simple plastic device, ok electronics in contacts can be more complex, but not much to go wrong.

  I don't think I have done something to damage the print head when the occurreed first problem, but with all the plug and put back and soaking in hot water (let dry naturally) I can't guarantee that it is not damaged because, although I was careful and everything seems ok.

  I am also puzzled as to where ink is going on because the black cartridges I used trying to solve this problem have certainly been empty but the ink is not reaching the paper - looks like the blooming thing could swim ink now but it seems pretty clean!

  Any advice welcome.

• Photosmart 6510 does not print in black

  My photosmart 6510 does not print in black. I presume that it was the cartridge but I replaced the cartridge and it still does not print. I cleaned the print heads and the cartridge ink levels are full.

  The printhead, cleaning of the screen failed touchscreen printer running.  But when I sat down at my computer and used the program utility printing, he did.  I ran an initial print head cleaning my computer and then clicking the button indicating that the print heads were NOT clean.  He then ran a deep cleansing process.  Then I lined up the printheads of the same print utility program.  Now it works!

• Photosmart HP 6510 will not print black.

  I bought this printer less than 2 years ago, but the warranty has expired. Ran through all the troubleshooting steps and replace the black half full with a new cartridge. It still won't print black - other cartridges work fine. What is going on?

• Photosmart HP 6510 will not print black text of emails but ok for photos and web pages

  Suddenly, it stopped printing black text of emails but prints black on web pages and images. I renewed the HP black cartridge and downloaded the HP PHOTOSMART FULL FEATURE AND DRIVERS SOFTWARE today and the problem persists.

  When I print QUALITY REPORT printing any black ink level is shown, but black media are there. very strange.

  Can I please ask your help to fix this annoying problem for me.

  Thanks for the reply daveclix

• HP Photosmart 6510 alignment Page failure, black ink cartridge not working not

  I'm on Mac OSX using the Photosmart 6510 AIO printer 10.7.4. I had problems before printing (black ink would not introduce yourself, sensor said that there was still a lot) so I ordered new cartridges. I printed a report of quality and the color came out great but black came out uneven. Then I used the align parameter and it printed once more uneven black ink and the screen on the printer read "the alignment page failed. It's frustrating, because the printer was used only at the end of last semester and he has not worked since I set up for this semester. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

  The steps in this troubleshooting page can help solve the problem.  If it is printing black but spotted I expecially make sure I check the vents and run a cleaning cycle.  If the above does not resolve the issue, see the post here.

• 6510 leaves suddenly printing black ink - cartridge is new

  Hello

  My Photosmart 6510 suddenly left black printing.  I replaced all cartridges, including the black a couple of weeks, and it was working fine until I went to print something from yesterday. Color work, but not black.

  I did everything on the link that has been suggested for troubleshooting and the unit is out of warranty of course.

  Are the only changes that took place between the time where it worked and did not work: 1) I installed Windows 8 and 2) I tried to make a copy of a label of the bottle, if the lid did not seal.  The first copy was dark, so I tried again and it's while doing the copy that it has just printed a page of black streaks.

  Since then, no black although when I made the diagnosis, it prints grey black.

  Thanks for your suggestions or help!

  I've tried EVERYTHING!  I finally tried printing on a Pope of photography and it worked, I went to 'preferences', then 'quality of paper' and changed other papers photo instead of plain paper.  I have kept the main tray paper source, but replaced by "draft" so that it doesn't take too long to print.  It prints very well now, but you may need to do this each time you print something.  It works at least for the moment.  It's certainly the last HP all I'll never spend money on.  The last HP laptop, I had was a lemon and through too much with it.  Hope this helps you...
