• 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).

• 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

• 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.

• 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!

• 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?

• I have a Photosmart 6510, which will not print in black.

  My photosmart 6510 does not print in black, after that I installed all the new HP ink cartridges. I am running Windows Vista 32-bit.

  I tried all the basic tests & troubleshooting but who still have the problem.

  It allows to print from the photo tray 4 x 6 end.

  Help, please!

  Hello bcgoodwrench,

  I don't see you mention the presence of 'BLACK'.

  
  If there was no black printing, then I would say you call the HP Technical Support for assistance.

  If you are in the United States, the toll free # is 1-800-474-6836 .

  If you are not in US , then log on to www.hp.com , bottom left there is a world map icon, click it, and then select the region that you belong to, which would then provide the support options for you for this region.

• HP4480: will not print in black

  I have recently upgraded to the version of windows in 10 home edition 1511.  I have a HP4480 that is compatible with windows 10.  It is updated with the correct drivers.

  My printer will be printed in black and white if I copy a document on the printer, HOWEVER it will not print in black and white if I print a document on my laptop or from a Web page.  I'm also using Microsoft Edge.

  I run Scan Doctor, clean my print heads, made sure everything is aligned, but can not determine why I can not print in black and white the computer laptop but can from the printer.

  The diagnostic message only I received is "peripheral composite USB does not work with USB 3.0' I have no idea what this means and don't think that I have the choice for the ports on my Inspiron 15R laptop 5520.»

  I've also posted on the Microsoft forums but really need to get the printer works with the operating system and cannot afford to buy a new printer just because I upgraded.

  Any help is appreciated.

  Thank you.

  I solved the problem.  For some reason, my real print HP 60 cartridge was the question.   Almost empty, I left forward without problem.  Once I replaced the cartridge, all now print correctly in black and white.

• 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!

• 6500 all in One - will not print in black, no error message

  Twice now, I sent a cartridge black staple, thinking that there was something wrong with it because the printer would print fine for the first copies of 20-40, then stops.  When it happened a third time, I started thinking maybe this isn't the ink cartridges.  Just the printer does not print in black.  Can I change the font color of blue and all is well.  When I try to print something from black, the printer ACTS like it was printing but nothing comes up except the color elements.  The diagnostics show no problem, that the printer has no error message, even shows the full ink cartridge (which is)... but it just will not print in black.

  Try to soak the printhead as described in this post.

• HP 6500 709n printer will not print in black.

  Cartridges have been replaced and cleaned twice printer heads.  still will not print in black.

  Had the same problem with the same printer. I had to get out of ink cartridges and cleaning the printhead tray manually. If you search online you will find the instructions step by step on how to remove the print head Assembly. First, I tried to clean by soaking in hot water for several minutes. It has not helped, although others said it worked for them. Then I used alcohol to friction on the screen black printhead. Also, I soaked a mixture diluted CLR (calcium, lime, rust) the whole print head and used a swap of cue tip to gently clean the print heads... I rinsed off the coast of all very well in water and carefully dried. I used compressed air to a box to blow the print heads and help in the dry. I reinstalled the Assembly and the ink cartridges and the black ink was working. I was disappointed that none of this information is actually detailed by HP for this printer troubleshooting. Good luck. You will need to repeat the process several times, as I did.

• 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.
