Photosmart 7520: selection of cartridge?

my printer seems to use the photo black ink cartridge when printing documents. It is a hypothesis because it's the only cartridge which shows low ink level and my documents seem to be an empty cartridge printing close. I rarely use it for printing photos so I don't know why it's using this cartridge, but it needs to use almost empty. Is there a way to change the settings?

Hey @ringmaster,

Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

I understand that you run low of photo black ink in your 7520 Photosmart e-All-In-One printer when you rarely print pictures. The printer uses a little of each color as a base before regular black printing. This is done to improve the quality of the prints and as a safety feature to prevent the print head don't dry out. If the print head is clogged or dry, the printhead needs to be replaced and printheads do not part replaced at low cost.

  • Photosmart 7520: hp photosmart 7520 yellow ink cartridge will not in (pop out of space)

    I tried to install two different new HP 564 XL yellow ink cartridge in my Photosmart 7520. They arise constantly from their slots. I managed with the magenta cartridge that is similar, but the yolks do not remain in place. What is the solution?

    Hi Rebmark, I did some research and found a troubleshooting page that describes some steps that might solve this problem.

    Step #9 may be the answer you're looking for. When the ink cartridges is not properly connected, it can help try gently bending the cartridge tab try to avoid to bend this tab over a half inch, as it could damage the cartridge.

    I hope this helps, but let me know if you're still having problems!

    I am trying to replace the black cartridge. An arc on the cartridge. The other black cartridge I can find, but that of a bow; I can, t find. If it has been suspended? Can I use a different cartridge?

    Hello

    No, other is narrower, it does not. There are plenty around, and you can use XL cartridges (they are physically the same size, only more inks).

  • Photosmart HP 7520 - selection between large and small black ink cartridges

    Hello

    How to choose the big back in print cartridge. 564 large black ink cartridge and the small cartridge is 564 photo XL.  The printer uses only the thin cartridge ink and not the large carridge. Is it possible to select one cartridge to another?

    Thank you

    So looks like you do not print photos and print text documents only the photo ink is used.  Does not serve ordinary black ink.  Are read you the ink gauge of the printer or the computer?  They both agree?  I have some additional questions.

    1. What is the ink level estimated for each cartridge according to the gauge of printer ink?
    2. Are one of the toner cartridges "SETUP"?  If so, which?
    3. Are the HP brand ink cartridges?
    4. Have you removed and reinstalled ink cartridges?  Does make a difference.
    5. You have run the print head cleaning utility?  To do this, click the key button, then Tools , then on print head cleaning.  I ran 2 or 3 times.

    Are there changes?

  • Photosmart 7520: Must the Photosmart HP 7520 TWO black ink cartridges (complete and installed) to work?

    Hello

    I read a few threads where people are struggling with the question of black ink with this printer. These threads, it seems clear that HP didn't design this system very well, and I would tend to agree. Even if someone said I could find the cartridge (bowtie) smaller at Staples, I can't find it. Even if I could find it, I don't want to have 2 kinds of ink black to store all the time. And my printer does not print black with only a new XL Black 564 installed. Is there a setting I'm missing in the menu where I can choose the XL cartridge only? The manual is not clear on this, and I think it's something that should be clearly explained.

    My question is simple, and please, one who answers, read my questions and do not provide a generic incomplete response and then put a little check mark 'Resolved' next to this problem. With 3 wires, that I read on this subject, the question NOT yet resolved or fully explained.

    The printer may be used and black printing using only the right XL cartridge or do I need to have both complete and installed black cartridges to work? And a follow-up, the left cartridge (bowtie) should stay there so he works or can I remove it and keep filling the cartridge XL to go forward with the empty to the left slot. If you work for HP and you are reading this and 100% do not know the answer... call someone at HP who has designed this printer and know please let me know.

    Thank you!

    The printer requires all cartridges having ink - they don't need to be full, but they all need to be installed and have adequate ink.  The thick black cartridge is pigmented black, mainly used for text and graphics on paper.  Thinner bowtie is the photo cartridge.  It contains dye black ink based and is designed for printing on photo paper.  Black pigmented ink is not compatible with the glossy photo media, black of the photo will be used in cases where the photo paper is selected in the driver or detected automatically.

    The Photosmart 7520 has separated from the inks and printheads, with plumbing to connect.  All inks must be present to prevent air intake in the plumbing or the print heads and keep the printheads from clogging.  See here for more information on using ink.

    I have a new HP Photosmart 7520 e-all-in-one printer just out the box. I removed the tape and cartridge access door does not open more than 40 degrees. The figure represents about 80 degrees.

  • Photosmart 7520: 7520 cartridge HP error

    I was gifted a HP Photosmart 7520. It doesn't have a black photo cartridge. I get an error message that said, "one or more of your cartridges appear to be missing or defective" my question is, should I black photo cartridge so the printer at work?

    Hi @Jackpine2,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I see your HP Photosmart 7520 gives you a cartridge error "one or more of your cartridges appear to be missing or damaged." You have no Photo black cartridge inserted.

    The answer to your question is Yes, should not have all of the cartridges installed in order to continue printing. The reason is that ink system draws from all cartridges, for the maintenance of the tasks etc.. To get a better understand click on the link below:

    Using ink in inkjet printers.

    Please go ahead and start troubleshooting here: ink cartridge problem: a "ink cartridge problem,'"Not compatible ink cartridge"or"Ink cartridge failed"Message appears on the printer control panel "

    If you still receive the error message after troubleshooting, try to replace the photo black cartridge.

  • Photosmart 7520: Photosmart 7520 and cartridge 564XL

    My documentation of the printer, the output of SureSupply and 564XL box (black) cartridge all indicate that the 564XL black cartridge is compatible with my printer Photosmart 7520.   I took out the cartridge configuration and does not have the XL cartridge.

    Returned to the store, bought a cartridge "564 Black" to discover that it is too big also.  This box also indicates that it will work with my printer.   He said a PHOTO so presumed it would fit in the regular slot for blacks.

    I don't know what to buy.  I suck with two major inappropriate cartridges.   The cartridge door does not seem to adapt for larger cartridges.  What should I do?

    Well, my dumb ass figured it out.

    I had for some reason any thought the photo cartridge door installation had regular black.  My diagnosis on the HP printer also stated that the right cartridge was the photo cartridge.   No wonder!

    Am now printing and just need to buy the replacement of the photo.

    Well, I'm frelieved to know that I am dumb, not crazy

    Thanks for your comments.  I was out to give up.

    Peace to you and happy new year!

  • Photosmart Photosmart 7520 7520:364 cartridge

    I recently inherited a Photosmart HP 7520.  I was really happy when I got it, easily implemented and he was soon facing up and running on my home network.  Then the black cartridge ran out.

    I looked inside the printer and saw a sticker that says product no. CZ045B and 364 of HP ink cartridge.  I went online and ordered a 364 XL Black thought that would be my best option.  However, after receiving, he does not.  Stupidly, I put this to a poor experience and ordered a series of 364.  However, that does not fit either despite the fact that the packaging on both cartridges says that they are suitable for a Photosmart 7520!

    After the forum, it seems that there are two types of 364 with a bow on them and those with a Pentagon.  However, I am a loser on how to decipher than the one I buy online or in my local staples (which were at a loss!).  Is it a kind of game of pot odds that HP invented rather like maps where you can buy 10 cartridges before finding the gold that actually fits?

    I would like to know if there is a reasonable as having already dropped 20 pounds on useless cartridges entirely, I see that I would have been better to buy a new printer of someone else...

    Thank you.

    Black cartridges and Photo are not interchangeable. Cartridges photo cannot substitute for black cartridges.

  • Streaky printing cartridge Black XL Neuve (Photosmart 7520)

    I installed a new cartridge HP XL Black in the 7520 Photosmart ten days ago.  Today printing black-and-white text I mostly started to become unreadable - scratched, stained, faint - even if the ink level report about 3/4 full for black (of course, the report itself printed with streaks, etc..) I removed and re-inserted the black cartridge to do it has been placed correctly (it was and it is) and then I ran the proper function of the printer cartridges. The print quality report came back fine (including alignment) except that the black box was scratched. After completing this report in print quality, I tried printing text. The first document of a printed page a bit scratched and erratic low spaces; the second time I printed, it's almost unreadable. Any suggestions?

    All advice appreciated.

  • Photosmart 7520 accepting not true 564XL Photo cartridge

    Hi all

    Have a Photosmart 7520 who does not accept the authentic 564XL Photo cartridges. Printer was purchased from Denmark, cartridges purchased in Thailand where printer resides now.

    Get a message (in Danish) that this cartridge is not appropriate for the printer.

    On the packaging of the cartridge, it indicates that the cartridge IS adapted...

    How can I get the printer to use this cartridge?

    Last update of Software/Firmware.

    Printer CZ045B

    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Jorn

    You will need to Contact HP to ask a "regionalization Reset." Do not charge for this, it is covered under the warranty of the cartridge. You will need to have access to your computer and printer then on line with HP. You will also need to have a set of cartridges for the new region, once completed reset cartridges of region of origin no longer works.  Webpage of HP on the subject is here.
