Photosmart 6520: Pass a printer ink cartridge to another

I have two printers of the same model @ our two different houses.  I did this so that I can take them w / me, so they don't dry out.

Im sure that black is not almost empty but left the impression. Can I change them & have printer to recognize ink levels?  I get the message that I have installed a used cartridge

The ink level information is tracked in the printer, not the cartridge *.  If you move a cartridge of one printer to another, the amount of ink used in the first printer is not available and the level of ink in the second printer will be 'unknown '.   (And...  If you then replace the cartridge for the original printer it may be also incorrect, since the first printer will not know how much ink has been used in the second printer.

Photosmart 6520 has permanent non-removable print heads.  You should always leave the ink cartridges in the printer.  If the cartridges are removed and left for several hours the printhead can dry out, ruining the printhead.

The message here is a troubleshooting document links for the Photosmart 6520.  If steps it do not solve the problem, Please contact the HP Support, even if the printer is no longer under warranty.   If the foregoing is not satisfactory results so thanks for posting here.

  • Photosmart 6520: cannot use HP ink cartridges

    That is to say there is a way to set up this printer to accept ink cartridges HP no?

    If it's not official HP ink, you know never really what he could do. Despite the official toner prices, you would be better to stick with it. They cannot much help out if toner unoffical screws to the top of your printer.

  • Photosmart 6520: HP Photosmart 6520 will not print black

    This seems to be a common problem for these printers.  Rank of ink so I bought new cartridges and everything prints fine except for blacks.  Diagnosis of print quality page show an empty bar for black.  The cartridges are brand new inks authentic HP.  Thought maybe I had a bad so I bought another black cartridge and same problem.  Have done some research and I saw that a few people had succeeded by soaking the cartridges in the hot water.  Tried it with hot water from the tap for 15 minutes and it will always print in black.  I cleaned the print head 5 times but still nothing.  Warranty expired on 24-03-14.  So 9 months warranty and I have an anchor instead of a printer.  Help please.

    Hello people,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I see that you are facing some print quality problems on your HP Photosmart 6520, you cannot print in black ink.

    I wish you continue troubleshooting here: printer does not print black ink or color of ink or prints blank Pages, I understand, you may have made some of these steps already but I need you to complete all the steps in order to solve the problem of the missing black, you encounter.

    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.

  • Kodak ESP5AIO printer ink cartridges ok but print very faintly

    Printer ink cartridges ok but feel very low, troubleshooting says everythings ok. Any ideas?

    Hello

    1. which version of the Windows operating system is installed on your computer?

    2 have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

    3 are you facing the question with any specific application?

    I suggest to print a test page for the printer and check.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/print-a-test-page

    Reference:

    The printer prints part of a page, prints blurry ink or prints faded or inaccurate colors only: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Troubleshoot-printer-problems

    Since you are faced with the question with the printer cartridges, it would be best to contact the manufacturer of the printer.

    I have a printer of HP all-in-one OfficeJet 6700.  When I inserted a new cartridge, there was a false message that says the cartridge was exhausted and cannot print.

  • deskjet1512: supplied with the printer ink cartridges seem to be bad.

    With my printer ink cartridges are different from those shown on video installation.  The contacts in video are on the long side & albums, contacts of mine are on the top and the short side.  They don't fit in.  The number of cartridge amounts to 61 and corresponds to what is printed on the printer.  I can't make them fits correctly, they won't with the long (blank) side out but not attach or stay in.

    Hello @dawna4d55,

    Thanks for posting in the Forum from HP Support.

    I see that you encounter some difficulties to install ink in the all-in-one printer HP Deskjet 1512. I would like to help.

    I agree that the printer takes cartridges #61. I have the 2540 all-in-one (almost exactly the same model) at home and I also found the initial installation of ink to confusion. When I realized that the main cartridge sticker or label should be facing while he sits on the cartridges and readable installation is a breeze.

    For your reference, here are some resources that may clarify the configuration of ink:

  • Not compatible HP Photosmart C4480 printer ink cartridge

    HI - first time here - I have a HP Photosmart C4480 printer and have recently installed a new black ink cartridge - genuine HP 350XL - bought in Tesco and already used a few times.  I printed a page today, and when I went to another printing, the printer says that the cartridge was incompatible.  I had not touched the printer between the prints. I tried out both cartridges and resettlement but still get the same message.  Also tried to turn again printer.

    I could understand if there was a problem with the cartridge and it was rejected as soon as I installed, but does not understand why this happens between the printing of pages.

    Any help would be appreciated

    Thank you

I hope this helps. If you reach the end of the document and have done all the solutions proposed by the document, would seek to substitute.

    If you are still in warranty, HP can replace the printer without cost to you. I'll link the information to get in touch with them below. The link takes you to a form to fill out. Once you fill it and she is treated, it will give you the printers warranty information, a file number and the phone number to call.

  • Photosmart 6520: HP Photosmart 6520 does not black ink print

    I ran through the steps on the troubleshooting http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03954004 page and it did not work. I know similar questions have been asked and have "answered", but I have found no solution that worked for me. The printer was working fine earlier this week, and all of a sudden, it would not print black ink. I went out and bought a new black ink cartridge and that does not work either. It was the same problem that led me to replace my HP Officejet 6500 I loved tenderly. I need an all-in-one for my work, but I can't afford to buy a new after spending the money on this one. The warranty just ran out last month and I need help to solve this problem, because I'm not buying a new HP if it is a problem that all have the all-in-one. Other family memebers suggest Epson printers, but I love HP and wants to stick to what I know.

    Please help me.

    You mean by 'options', to have bought an upgrade right? Because I just got the phone with them and they me nothing that HP will make becaue it's out of warranty. So, build a defective product to force the new buy, is that correct?

  • HP photosmart C5180 all in one printer ink cartridges

    My printer is about three years old, I loved this printer and the problem I'm having is that when he says that he new need recharging if I put yellow ink cartridges and still say that the ink is empty but other colors work except yellow and I put three yellow ink cartridges and still the same need to spare yellow I have a friend who is very expert on the computer and the printer and he said I need new printer we tried to reset the printer again and again and again, nothing works, so I thought that maybe I can try this blog and see if anyone has problems like me. Help, please. Thank you

    I think that something is wrong with your printer, I'm sorry.  There are electrical contacts 'read' the cartridge ink that can be messy, but other than that, nothing simple comes to mind.

  • 7520 Photosmart printer - ink cartridges carriage out when the cover is opened

    The transport does not automatically moves himself posted to the right of the machine when the lid is open.  I'm unable to change empty ink cartridges.  The machine was purchased new April 2013 and is out of warranty.  I turned off and turned it back over 15 min later, no change.

    Any suggestions?

    Hi @Clayball,

    I see that you have problems with the transport not to move to the middle in order to change the cartridges.

    I would like to help.

    I would like to do a hard reset to see if that will solve the problem.
    Let the printer and disconnect the printer cable and the wall socket for 60 seconds.
    Reconnect the power cable to the output of the printer and the wall, and not a surge protector.
    This ensures that the printer is full on and can help this situation.

    If the transport does not move freely when grasp the front, it's OK to gently push the carriage to the left or right to move along the rail.
    Fragments of paper can get lodge between the cart and the gas station.  It is important to look at the far right of the printer with a flashlight to make sure there is no debris.

    I handed a document with some measures to try to resolve the transport stall.

    A Message appears 'Transport Jam' on the control panel.

    If the problem persists, in 800-474-6836, please call our technical support. If you do not live in the United States / Canada region, please click the link below to get help from your region number.
