• Printer HP Photosmart will not print black

  Printer does not print black.  New cartridge, vent open, rebooted, powered turn off/on. etc.  Will be no copy/print or computer/print.  Commercial ran.  Will only print colours - not black.  Need advice.

  Hi robin

  I hope that we can get you back to print.

  You have a c310 PS, right? Have you tried the usual things like

  -check ink levels

  -running a clean print head

  -verification of the cartridge is properly ventilated

  If so, then soaking the printhead suggested by Bob Headrick might work. Otherwise, you could buy a new printhead at shop part of HP (because I assume that your printer is now out of warranty?)

  The part No. you will need to pick up at the store is CN642A. The link is below ("buy a new online')

• Photosmart 7525 not printing black

  My PhoroamER 7525 all-in-One is less than 6 months, but the black does not print. I replaced the cartridge (which was to show the half left) but it made no difference. Still no black. Help!

  Hey,.

  The first step I would execute if the printer is not printing black, even after changing the black cartridge is an ink system reset.  This will ensure that the contacts are clean and safe in the printer.  Click here for the steps to perform a reset of the ink system.

  Have you tried to run the cleanup utility integrated into Setup print head > Tools menu of the printer?  I advise all 3 levels to try to force all ports clogged in the printhead running.

  Thus, the printer goes or fail during execution of the automatic print head alignment process?  Press the key at the top right of the touch screen to access the configuration menu.  Select the Tools submenu and runs the option "align printer.

  I would also suggest a look at the document troubleshooting below.

  Troubleshooting print quality problems

  If the troubleshooting steps are unable to get black ink printing, so I suggest you contact HP Technical Support about this printer because it would still be under factory warranty, you bought it less than 6 months ago.  Contact click hereHP Technical Support.

• 6510 Photosmart will not print black

  6510 won't print black. I followed all the steps shown to others by the Lady HP representative on the help forum, but nothing helped. Before finding the forum, I thought that haveway just went black cartridge empty through a print page 7 of a document (even if it happened FAST--in 1/3 of a page), so I installed a new cartridge. No change, so at that point I found on the forum. I checked and my warranty expired a year ago. I'm in the United States. What I can do, I need this printer? THX

  On 6 January, I received a message from an employee of HP saying me that I would be but still no e-mail on their part What's up, I need my printer

  UPDATE: was contacted by an associate of HP and were very pleased with the solution provided by HP. always liked this printer and I have owned many other brands I was indifferent or not happy with. Happy that this has been resolved, thanks Yvonne and HP for your attention. Walt

  Hello

  Perhaps took a little luck, but follow the advice given to another (with a different printer) regarding printhead release in removing all the cartridges and submerging print heads in hot water for five minutes, then dry carefully.

  did this and it now works perfectly.

• Photosmart 5524: Support for 5524 Photosmart will not print black

  Can not get the HP support pages - all links come with a blank page - so hope someone can help.

  Changed my cartridges as the weak and printing is poor, and now black ink does not print despite showing in high and genuine HP cartridges ink levels. Followed all the steps of cleaning, alignment and clean manually screenshot. Off, pulled the plug out, waited 5 minutes. Still no black printing.  Checked for updates software and driver - no required.

  Any help gratefully received.

  Thank you for your response. I now gave up the HP printer altogether, because I found that it was still under an extended warranty that I got when I bought it - not something I usually do, but he paid this time. So now have a cannon, and must see if it will be better. Very grateful that you took the time to try to help.

• Photosmart 6520: 6520 Photosmart will not print black

  Printer has started to have black letters to fade so I replaced the black cartridge.  Now the black does not print.

  Read the care instructions and used a PIN to clean the holes in the cartridge.  Does not resolve the issue.

  Then clean the print head.  Does not resolve the issue.

  I tried a 2nd black cartridge and that did not help.  All repeated the same steps of education support the vent and the cleaning of the print head.  Does not resolve the issue.

  All other colors work very well.

  What now?

  You will need to contact HP as described in the post here.  They should be able to help solve the problem, even if your printer is no longer under warranty.

• Photosmart will not print black on CD/DVD

  Hello

  I have a HP Photosmart5280 all-in-one (Windows 7 work) that I've liked for a couple of years. I recently replaced the black cartridge (with the HP brand ink) and it has been working well. Today, I tried to print on a CD (which I did successfully in the past) with a black and white design (no color). I tried about four times with three different (HP Photosmart Essential, Preview and Roxio) programs, and every time she acts like it is printing, but the disc comes out blank. I printed on paper just to ensure that the black ink was still working, and it came out fine. Help! I do not understand why it is just printing on paper and not on the disk, especially because it is printed on the disc before without problem.

  (May be worth noting that I have aligned the cartridges in my first installation of the new black cartridge, but the printer didn't like alignment.) I did the alignment with the same results. However, my impression looks good, and I was ignoring his request for another alignment because I don't want to use ink. Also, it's almost more color ink, but that shouldn't be a problem because I'm only black printing.)

  Thank you very much!

  The fixed. In a last-ditch attempt, I removed the cartridge empty color out of the printer and told to print the disc again. It is printed. Still not sure why it worked, but he did, and I'm happy.

• Will not print black after replacing the black ink tank

  After replacing the black ink tank, the printer does not print black data (text or graphic).  I ran printing HP and scan doctor utility and printed assessment page.  The text is printed in a pale blue color. Gray scale apperas block (far right) to have no black content and has a hint of cyan.

  Printer:

  HP Officejet 6000 E609n

  Thanks in advance for any help

  OK because that is a thing of warranty which may be worth dip the printhead as described below...

  (1) get a pan and put 1/2 "of very hot (not boiling) water in the bottom.
  (2) remove all ink cartridges, then remove the print head Assembly.
  (3) gently put the printhead nozzles down in water and soak for 5 minutes.
  (4) remove the print head and gently dry the electrical contacts.
  (5) replace the print head in the printer and then reinstall the ink cartridges.

• HP Photosmart Premium C309g do not print black ink

  Hello

  My HP Photosmart Premium C309g (CD055A) will not print black ink even if the cartridge is full. He's going through the motions of printing but the pages come out blank. It prints colors, they are not as dark as before, so I know that black is not working. I have cleaned the print heads, turned off the printer, unplug the printer, restarted the computer, but nothing works. I get colors on the report of the print quality, but the printer status report comes out blank. I bought a new black ink cartridge (564XL) think the previous one was defective (levels showed a 75% ink) but I still have the same problem. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thank you.

  Hey,.

  I see you have done some troubleshooting on the issue of the print quality that you are experiencing.  I would make sure you did all the troubleshooting steps available for your research problem in the document following the link.

  Print colors are the colors should not when the C309 Photosmart Premium printing.

  If you have completed all these steps, then I check the status of your printer warranty.  If it is out of warranty, you should consider the solution provided by Bob_Headrick in the thread found here.

  Hope this helps,

• 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.

• HP Photosmart 5520 - will not print black ink

  Photosmart HP 5520 - black ink does not print even with the new cartiage and I did the printhead, cleaning tools and still does not work.    My warranty expires and don't know what to do next.

  Hello heartieluvcatsand welcome to the Forums of HP.

  I understand that you have problems with your black print the result.  I recommend you to perform a power reset. Unplug the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug back in the printer. Make sure that you connect the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any surge protector or power bar.

  After the reset, I would say using this document on fixing of the streaks of ink faded prints and other common Print quality problems

  I also suggest the steps described in this document printer does not print black ink or color ink or prints blank Pages.

  Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting operations. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!
