Hello 123Sandy,

Welcome to the HP Forums.

I see that you experience a problem when you attempt to print with standard black ink cartridge.

Please click on the following link that deals of Troubleshoot Print quality for the HP series Photosmart e-all-in-one printer 7510 (C311).

You may have a problem with the black ink cartridge ordinary it self and the default printer to the black photo cartridge.  Please follow the steps that deal with the ink cartridges.

If troubleshooting doesn't help not solve your problem, then I would say contact HP technical support to see all the other possibilities for you. ,: click here.

    Generally, this is caused by a faulty cartridge. There are a few things that you can try before it's even though. The document following the link will guide you through the steps. If this does not work, replace the cartridge. If it still does not respond, you may need to get a new printer.

  • 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?

  • Photosmart 5515 does no black ink print

    Not printing in black at all.  Full set of new ink cartridges.  Warranty is just exhausted.

    I've tried everything here

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03425035

    like everyone else I had read had this problem. No change.

    Any help out there?

    Seem to have solved.

    It was a clogged print head - probably due to the ink drying during the period of non-use.  Cleaning process all waste ink without much effect.

    Print head is not removable so manual cleaning is tricky.  Just wipe the filter did nothing.

    At the end of the day, slipped a piece of kitchen under the print head roll (it has a Groove where it will adapt and you roll the head top) folded.

    Removed the rubber around the offending ink filter washer.

    Slipped a long and tight fitting top pen top instead (felt tip seems best - but open at both ends, one tube, is what it takes, and it must be a tight fit).

    Refill pen with mouthwash (appropriate cleaning fluids are available, alcohol is the key it seems).

    Breath down on pen force the liquid through the printhead on paper towel.

    Printed later, but took a few prints to become completely clear.  It is time that clean the printhead automated may operate.

  • HP Photosmart 7515: Touch screen went black

    Printer works very well at the outbreak of the computer,

    but the touch screen went black, permanently.

    No matter how much I press, it stays black.

    I disconnected and reconnected.

    Downloaded a new driver that allows me to trigger the scan of the computer,

    but I can't fax.

    Is this a driver problem, a hardware problem...?  Don't know which firmware is.

    Hi @lenny15,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums from the HP Support! I understand the touch screen on your HP Photosmart 7515 is completely black, you are able to print from the computer, but can not access the front control panel.

    I would like that perform you a Hard Reset on the PS 7515:

    1. disconnect all cables and cards of memory in the printer. Unplug the power cord, directly from the back of the printer when the printer is still on.

    2. unplug the other end of the power cord.

    3. If there is a power supply on the power cord, disconnect one end and reconnect it.

    4. at the end of 60 seconds, plug it directly into a wall outlet (not a surge protector or battery backup because they can cause the printer to lose over time basic functionality).

    5. connect the power cord to the back of the printer.

    6. the printer should automatically power back upward. If not, turn it on with the power button.

    7. try to make a photocopy (if your printer is a printer all in one) before you connect the cables from the printer.

    8. connect the other cables needed to the printer.

    If after the hard reset, you are still not able to access the Control Panel, I suggest that call you our technical support at the 800-474-6836.

  • Photosmart 7515: Impossible to connect wireless to Photosmart 7515

    First of all, the printer worked before end of June when a patch Win7 crashed and I had to reinstall the operating system. I immediately upgraded to Windows 10; I am running anniversary of Windows Update (AU). I don't have reinstall the printer before last night. I am running Windows 10 a a full charge 18 Alienware. I am writing from this computer so I'm connected to the Internet and I'm connected wireless.

    I download the updated 2016 (PS7510_1315 - 1.exe) displayed for my printer and installed it, but when it came time to connect to the printer, it didn't - do not see the printer.

    I've reconfigured the printer twice and during each installation, the printer sees all networks wireless (including me), I select my network, the printer asks the password of my network and then it connects successfully to my SSID. I print the results of the wireless network Test with the bottom line of "no problem found" for the correct SSID. My computer is connected to the same SSID. On the printer, the blue wireless light is solid on and signal strength is displayed on the printer shows also strong.

    I then connected to my router and updated all the connected systems. The display shows four wireless devices, one being the printer. The printer didn't show the MAC address, not a name or one IP address like the other three, then I restarted the routed with the same results. Then, I opened an OS command window and ping the IP address - failed with "request timed out" and "destination host unreachable".

    So, I'm looking for help. The printer says that it is connected properly wireless with intense beep and a DHCP IP address which is also in the appropriate interval. I also tried the host name: dhcppc3 and that did not work (didn't expect really, since the INVESTIGATION period did not work but I wanted to be thorough).
    In advance, thank you!

    Nick.

  • HP Photosmart, 7515 won't print black

    I tried all the recommendations, I could find nothing doesn't.  Head cleaned and followed instructions in the tools of the printer.  I know that many have had this same problem and have found a way to solve the problem.  Any recommendations?

    In the paper here troubleshooting steps can help solve the black does not print on your Photosmart 7515.  Be sure to check the vents, as on the three solution.

    If the first four solutions do not resolve the problem I would say soak the printhead as described in the post here before considering to replace the print head.

  • HP Photosmart 7515 photo printing paper is no good

    Fine, I can print a color picture on plain paper.  When I print the same photo on glossy photo paper black clothes all look green.  My print quality diagnostic report shows NO problem.  This happens for two 4 X 6 and 8 1/2 X 11 paper.

    HP 7515 has five cartridges.  My problem was solved when I replaced the black Photo cartridge, rather than the Magenta cartridge.  The black Photo cartridge was the original cartridge of the configuration, and the Print quality Diagnostic report showed yesterday that there little ink.  But apparently not enough!

  • Cannot print from PC to photo photosmart 7515 tray

    My printer is a HP Photosmart 7515. I'm running Windows 7 on a Dell Inspiron One all-in-one.

    The interface between the computer and the printer works fine, but I can't understand how to print photos from my PC to the photo paper tray. I configured print 5 x 7 paper options (that I have loaded in the photo tray), but the image came out on the tray paper 8.5 x 11.

    I googled this problem and found that others have the same problem. Is it possible to do so and if so, how?

    Sorry to hear that you are having problems with printing photos. Just to be sure, we are located using the photo tray try this:

    -Click on the round of departure-> click on devices/Printers

    -Find and right click on your printer-> preferences click on printer

    -Select the paper / quality-> in the 'paper source select' choose the photo tray

    -As a result the size of the paper (the next option down)

    Let us know if that helps.

    Good luck!

  • HP Photosmart 7510 won't use photo black ink

    I have a photosmart 7510 printer and I am printing from microsoft word 2010 on a windows 8. I print a word with no pictures in document. Printer preferences are on plain paper with normal quality. I can't the printer to use the XL Black ink cartridge. It only uses photo black ink. Is there a setting that I can choose to let him use the regular black ink?

    Hi shirsar,

    I understand that you have a Photosmart 7510 which seems to use a lot more than regular black ink black photo. I'm sorry to hear that, but think I can help you with a solution.

    You can set the printer to use only black ink when printing from the PC and ensures that it uses black ink and no ink picture. My instructions will be set up in the pilot if he does for all programs (if you just want to program it please let me know, and I advise you more). You'll want to start by going to your start screen, and simply start typing devices and printers, and you want to open that (if that is not in the work Panel type and then proceed to open devices and printers). Once the devices and printers is open, right-click on your Photosmart 7510 icon and select Printing Preferences. You'll want to then click on the Advanced Options button at the bottom right of the screen. The next page that appears will allow you to set the printer to use black ink only when printing from the PC (please follow the screenshot below for any clarification).

    Hope this helps, have a nice day!

  • Printer HP Photosmart 7515 question

    Hello

    I have a HP Photosmart 7515 printer and I have a paper copy of 4 x 6 image on the screen and make copies of different size of photo - example: a full page of photos portfolio or 2-5 x 7 format. What are the steps to do this?

    Thank you

    TKH21

    TKH, unfortunately on the printer itself is not an option to do what you want (transform a photo portfolio page size 4 x 6). What you can do is to resize an image to a different size (i.e. transform a 4 x 6 in a 8.5 x 11).

    If you want to repeat and duplicate the image, you will need to find a software that does this for you and look at the picture on your computer first before you continue.

    I hope this information is useful!
