Photosmart C4580: Problem black cartridge

When printing in black, the first page is allmost perfect. The second page is full of scratches, therefore, there is almost no ink at all on the page. When you print the next day, the same phenomenon occurs (the first page is good, then they go quickly wrong)

I replaced the cartridge, I used the printerhead cleaning function, the two did not help.

Can you help me?

  • Photo Photosmart 7525 problem ink cartridge 564

    I bought 2 different 564 PHOTO Black cartridges for my Photosmart 7525 and neither one will work. I get the message that the cartridge is missing or damaged. When I compare it with the cartridge I just pulled (it works fine) I noticed that the brass contacts are not the same. I really don't know what to do next. I don't want to buy a printer because I can not find a replacement for the existing cartridge. Please let me know if there are any tips.

    Set us up our new all-in-one HP Photosmart 5514 B111h printer yesterday.  The black cartridge seems to print does not always and printer don't align.

    Here is the document Print quality for your printer troubleshooting: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02914910

    The printer may not properly align if she isn't black printing. Try the procedure described in the document, in particular one to clean the print head. Are there no black at all in prints? If you follow all the steps described in the paper and still can not black to print correctly, you will need to contact HP for warranty support.

  • Reference Dell v305 problem black cartridge not aligned

    my printer dell 305 said all of a sudden the black cartridge is not aligned properly (otherwise it is said to remove the Strip). If I take the cartridge and reinsert it, I get the same message. If my printer is broken or do I have to just buy a new cartridge?

    scs822,

    Do you use Dell Series 9 ink cartridges?

    If you unplug the printer from the wall and remove the brick of power for 60 seconds, this will reset the error messages that the printer. I would then plug everything back in.

    Turn on the printer.

    Open the printer (power on) and remove the Dell Series 9 black cartridge and then reinstall it. I then remove the Dell Series 9 color cartridge and reinstall it. Now, close the printer, and it will print an alignment page.

    Error messages?

    Print Cartridge black = Black (left) cartridge = color (right side)

    photo cartridge = cartridge black (left side) = color (right side)

    Dell Series 9 ink cartridges have a sensor to them that cannot be reset. Article on Dell ink cartridges filling.

    Dell Series 9 ink cartridges can be purchased at Staples, Wal-Mart or any Dell website.

    It is possible to get an ink cartridge Dell Series 9 with a bad sensor. I would take these to the place of purchase for a replacement.

  • HP Photosmart 7520 problem installation (left side black) black ink cartridge

    I replaced the ink cartridges in the HP Photosmart the 7520 front unit and had no problem. It is very easy.

    Now, I had to replace the print cartridge black on the left side of the ink cartridges. The old man is very good, but I can't get the new cartridge to go! I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I pulled the plastic wrap and twisted the orange lever down.

    I can't have the back of the cartridge to slide between the side of the bracket and the cartridge color next to it. He won't go. I don't even get it far enough to start the shoot from the front down. I tried to remove the color cartridge, but it does not help. I compared the old and new side by side cartridges. They look the same. Except, the former says 564 - installation, and the news is 564 - XL. I believe that this is the first change since we bought the printer.

    Any ideas?  Thank you.

    Phil Brown

    7520 photosmart all-in-in-one using five ink cartridges. Photo, Magenta, Cyan, yellow and black. The cartridge on the left side is a Photo cartridge. This cartridge is not the same as the black cartridge.

    Please make sure you are trying to install the Photo cartridge in the left side slot. The Photo ink cartridge will be a "Bow tie" icon and black cartridge will have a "Pentagon" icon on this subject. See the document below to learn more about the difference between a Photo black cartridge:

  • HP Photosmart 3310: Using only the black cartridge

    Suffice it for the most part to print text in black, but it seems to exhaust all my color at a speed that is ridiculous and expensive cartridges.  How can I use the black cartridge only?  I use an iMac and iPad (for remote printing)

    Hi @Cambridge29,

    I see that you would like to know how to print with just the black cartridge, save the color for color printing cartridges.
    I would like to help.

    I understand your frustration, I don't really. However, this printer uses same color inks when printing in black only. If run out you of color and kept black printing only, you provoquerez problems with the print head. It is the the user guide for your printer, refer to page 148. Series of all-in-one Photosmart HP 3300

    You can have a setting in the print driver to print in grayscale, which uses fewer colors.

    Application, go to file, print to display the print screen. Here is a screenshot where to access the settings of the print screen driver. Then you can save the setting as a preset.

    What operating system do you use? Mac OS X: how to find which Mac OS X Version is on my computer?

    If there is anything else I can help you, let me know.

    Good day!
    Thank you.

  • HP Photosmart Plus B209a-m black cartridge will not print

    My HP photosmart Plus 209 a, m stopped printing black ink. I've had less than a year, and it worked perfectly until last night, when all of a sudden it stopped printing black ink... All other colors work very well. I took all the actions proposed by the HP support site, I have cleaned the print heads, ran the alignments, cartridges has changed twice again (never used anything else than new HP cartridges) and still no black ink. So I searched for an answer outside the HP site and tried all the suggestions, I came across but always without success. I found, however, that there are many people with the same problem but I have yet to find a person who has solved. Please someone help me!

  • Print HP Photosmart C4580 cartridges missing or not detected

    Hello.

    I have the HP Photosmart C4580 printer, printer all-in-one, and every time I turn on the printer, I would get the message that the cartridges are missing or are not detected. I tried the solution from the cartridge and the message still appears. I tried cleaning them and then unplug the power cord and it still shows the error message.

    I tried to print before and it was fine. But sometimes shortly after, the message appears. I really need to find a solution soon because I need to print some documents.

    Anything is appreciated!

  • New black cartridge does not print - Photosmart 5510 all-in-One

    I replaced all my ink cartridges when they ran.  The black cartridge is printing not and cannot even print alignment test page to align my new cartridges.  They are HP cartridges I bought and now after all cleaning procedures, I have now exhausted all new cartridges.  My warranty is exceeded, even if I have not received the new printer last Christmas, but my family he registered in August when they bought it for me.  I'm going to buy new cartridges, but I fear that I will lose more money that this problem will not be solved.  Someone help.  I have uninstalled, reinstalled, cleaned print heads, tried to align the cartridges but error message appears then all new Board would be good.  Thank you

    Hello Cath,

    I'm really sorry to hear about your Photosmart 5510 aligning properly and not printing in black ink. I understand that you have tried to align the printer and it has not solved the problem. I want to help you and make you my best to do it!

    At this point, I do not pretend to try new cartridges (especially black) and trying to do the alignment again. I found a useful troubleshooting guide following which solves the problem, I hope.

    Here's the guide I recommend following step by step:

    A "alignment failed" Error Message appears on the printer

    * Tip - make sure that the printer is connected directly to the wall outlet.

    Please do not hesitate to post your results here and I will help you further if necessary.

    Take care

  • Photosmart 7520: 7520 Photosmart black too big HP 564 black cartridge for insertion in the cartridge tray

    My Photosmart HP 7520 has 2 black cartridges.  One is narrow with the same width as the color cartridges and the other is larger and fits OK into its slot on the far right.  Close cartridge is supposed to be inserted into the slot on the left.  I bought 3 new cartridges of 564 black but it's widest 564 black.  How to find the narrow black cartridge?

    J_A_A

    564 cartridges are labeled with icons for identifications. Black regular has a Pentagon on it and black Photo has a 'Butterfly' icon (and image of the camera on the package). I think that you're looking for is the photo in the black.

    BTW, regular 564 also has a narrow black (standard load) and more wide (XL), so make sure match the icon, not the size.

  • Photosmart 7520/7525: Photosmart 7520/7525 black color cartridge with the symbol "bow tie".

    As I saw all these messages on the ridiculous to have several black cartridges and there is a CONFIGURATION and one is an XL...  I get it.  Many have asked the question: what should I do when the cartridge INSTALLATION reports that it is out of ink.

    I was disappointed by the answers... so here are my concerns:

    • None of the replacement HP 564 ink beams come with the cartridge SETUP/bowtie.
    • It seems that the printer is printer normally even if the Bowtie cartridge runs out of ink.

    What the hell, this is the purpose of the cartridge SETUP/bowtie?  Initially, I assumed it was recessary for the 'photo finish' - gloss, whatever.

    Does anyone have a difinitive for these questions answer:

    1. The printer requires a cartridge full of bowtie.
    2. What EXACTLY is the function of the said cartridge.

    I don't think that, as the owner of this printer, these are unreasonable questions to ask.

    Any who - HP employee or otherwise, please respond to this request if you are able (without guessing or applicant).

    Thank you.

  • Black cartridge HP 364XL for Photosmart C309g

    I have a Photosmart premium C309g all-in and ordered a new black cartridge numbered HP364XL (code CN684EE). It is the code given by consumables HP but differs from the black cartridge, I already have and gives you a message when printing it is incompatible? There is a clear difference in size?

    How can ensure me that I will order the right cartridge?

    I had spare ink put in the printer & even if full, now it prints nothing.

    I want to order HP ink cartridges but want to make sure that my printer is not blocked for the HP ink cartridges work.

    Anyway to clean the old ink? Or I'll be fine with the new HP ink without worrying?

    I released the heads & wiped them down, but still no black ink of the replacement cartridge.

    Hoping that the machine is not broke so I don't waste money on the HP cartridge.

    The quality of spare parts supplies varies greatly.  According to the ink that you had the printhead can be permanantely blocked.  You could try to soak the printhead, as described in this post.

  • HP Photosmart C4580 Wireless problem - Snow Leopard

    Hello

    My HP Photosmart C4580 has worked for wireless (albeit a bit slowly) until I made 2 changes:

    (a) I changed my router SSID (network name) and password

    (b) I have upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard

    At first I tried to use the HP configuration utility to reconfigure the network my printer wireless.  It doesn't not work - he told me that my printer to be connected via USB, while he was already.  I tried different things and ended up reset wireless to the printer (using the printer menu).

    Then, in the HP that I read that HP utilities do not work with Snow Leopard help files.  But the instructions for wireless network with my snow leopard printer did not work.  I could install my printer via USB (and downloaded driver), but it does not appear on the list without wire.  I couldn't find a way to configure wireless with USB connection, as I already had when I initially set up my printer with Leopard.

    Video instructions to set up wireless for Mac (http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board/message?board.id=Macintosh&thread.id=231) seemed promising, because it would finally give me a chance to give my printer on my network information.  Wireless Network Test report gives the network name (SSID hpsetup) (since I have reset the settings), that I found promising, although only under IP address, he said 'not applicable' (and obviously fails it test under 'Network name found' failed-it).  However, my macbook can't take any hpsetup network and on the network Page Configuration I printed the network status is 'offline', Active connection Type is None, URL is 0.0.0.0.  Apparently my printer cannot connect to this network hpsetup.

    I have spent a few days on this and I am completely at a loss to know what to do.  Can someone please advise?  Thank you very much.

    OK, we can solve the problem.

    First you uninstall the 10.5 HP software before installing 10.6?  If this isn't the case, we might as well do it now.

    Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard / click Uninstall HP
    Click on continue
    Highlight your device in the left pane
    Hold down the Ctrl and Opt, as well as Apple and click on uninstall
    There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall all hp software. (At this point, if you continue, all HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled, this is why we do not run this thing all the time)
    Click on continue
    Let the cleaner it is.

    Then, remove the printer in System Preferences, Print & Fax.

    After that, go to hp.com and download the 10.6 complete package

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=OJ-74785-1&LC=en&DLC=en&cc=us&lang=en&OS=219&product=3418707

    Having attached to the C4580 usb cable and select Wireless when you can.  Follow the rest by.

    I noticed problems where people have "special" characters in their password wireless.  If it fails, and you have no alphabetic characters or digital, you will need to go through the process of hpsetup ad hoc, as detailed in the video you mentioned.
