• HP Photosmart more B210A: black ink cartridge will not print.

  The black ink will print on my printer.  I installed new ink and cleaned the print heads.  I did a review of the printer and the ink of color appeared only.  The printer is recognizing the cartridge when I check the ink levels.  The first page after cleaning came out very faint then anything.  At first, I thought that the new black ink cartridge was defective.  So I replaced it with another new - no difference.

  The only change is that I have installed all new cartridges when all printing has become very low.

  Help, please.  Thank you.

  Fushing did not work, however, we used a demo on Utube and has not used the distlled water.  That could be the problem. The printer is about 8 years old, we decided to get a new one.  Thank you very much for your help.

• 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 HP Photosmart more and I'll have the time the harder the 564 black ink cartridge installation.

  I have a HP Photosmart more and I'll have the time the harder the 564 black ink cartridge installation. It it not a cartridge 564xl. I am really considering to resume this printer and turning it.

  Hello

  What seems to be the issue. His are more in there or something like that? If so, check the icon on top of the cartridge, it should be a Hexagon, if you want to mount a "bow tie" it does not, since it is a photocartridge that is not supported by your printer.

• Photosmart HP 7510: Change what black ink cartridge is used.

  Our 7510 HP ink slots for small and XL cartridges, however it will not use the small cartridge ink. How to change the parameters to pass to the thin cartridge XL, small is running out of ink and I can't find the black ink cartridge (Photo) in stores now. I bought two 'small', one was a XL, not labelled as such and we ordered cartridges from HP on the web and they were too big too. I need to be able to use the XL Black ink cartridge that is installed.

  Thank you..

  Hello

  First, XL ink cartridges are physically the same size with normal cartridges (same number). The difference is more inks XL cartridges.

  Your printer has 2 black ink cartridges, one narrower called Photo ink cartridge and one large/more bigger called black ink cartridge. When printing in grayscale, the printer will mix all the colors to give B & W. If you want to print black ink only, you must indicate to your printer. Please try

  (a) double-click the desktop printer icon.
  (b) click on set preferences.
  (c) click on advanced.
  d select "Black ink" only for printing in grayscale
  (e) click Ok/apply.
  
  Note: printer must still all color inks and it will consume a very small amount of ink over the warmng of trial.
  
  Kind regards.

• HP Photosmart 6510 alignment Page failure, black ink cartridge not working not

  I'm on Mac OSX using the Photosmart 6510 AIO printer 10.7.4. I had problems before printing (black ink would not introduce yourself, sensor said that there was still a lot) so I ordered new cartridges. I printed a report of quality and the color came out great but black came out uneven. Then I used the align parameter and it printed once more uneven black ink and the screen on the printer read "the alignment page failed. It's frustrating, because the printer was used only at the end of last semester and he has not worked since I set up for this semester. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

  The steps in this troubleshooting page can help solve the problem.  If it is printing black but spotted I expecially make sure I check the vents and run a cleaning cycle.  If the above does not resolve the issue, see the post here.

• Photosmart 7510 - black ink cartridge does not print

  Recently, I replaced the ink cartridges on my Photosmart 7510 C311A. These are all the "genuine HP cartridges ', full.

  Black ink (with the symbol of the Pentagon) does not print, not at all. I ran through the standard troubleshooting steps:

  Cleaning of printheads

  Cleaning of copper contacts

  * Check for a good evacuation

  My colleague in the corridor as the printer even so I borrowed his black ink cartridge and tried: same problem. The printer does not record that there is a problem, but when I run printing tests, where there should be a black ink, there is absolutely none. All other colors print correctly.

  The printer doesn't lack NOT of the printer "align" test however does not offer a suggestion of what to do from there. I've not seen - in test reports - an indiciation of the misalignment.
  
  Suggestions on what to do now?

  I had the same problem. I had replaced the empty cartridge black and suddenly, no ink. Finally, what has worked is
  (1) I removed all the cartridges and cleaned the copper connectors with wet Publix.
  (2) I got a wet paper towel and he pressed repeatedly on the silver circular vent that would be under the black cartridge. I did until no black came. Let it dry.
  (3) I replaced all the cartridges and on the printer. I went to tools/clean the cartridge. I did it a couple of times and he finally printed black ink! I confirmed by going to tools/align, and align the cartridges successfully. He had kept before crashes when the black ink did not work.

• 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?

• Use black ink cartridges into the two slots? HP Photosmart C4795 - no color cc = us

  Can I use black ink cartridges into the two slots? HP Photosmart C4795 - no color, to save money?

  Hey JJ - B,.

  You cannot use a black cartridge in both slots. The print head channels are different for print 3 colors in a slot vs only black print out on each other. Using black in the two slots certaining most will cause errors and possibly damage the printer.

  Is there a reason you want to run the two blacks to be with? You can still print with only the back cartridge installed.

  Good luck!

• Black ink cartridge HP Photosmart C309 to print not

  All of a sudden my printer does not print any black.  I have cleaned the print head (by using tools of the printer), came out of the cartridge and shook to see if he has really ink in it (printer says that it is complete), and it spend it.  The printer has been used regularly - it's not dry.  I tried to print the "status report" and the only thing that prints is the ink supply photos.  The thick black cartridge shows nothing, as if the cartridge is empty.  Can anyone help?

  Hi all

  my HP Photosmart Premium C309a was partially by printing in black and white only, when black has failed. I thought that the startup ink level may have been wrong on the front panel, so I bought a new black ink cartridge. Same problem and so I found this forum. I did a clean cartridge and the black began to work again. It is certainly a matter of keep an eye, and not one I am happy to know. My printer is only 1 month.

• Black ink cartridge will not print in HP Photosmart Plus B209

  I have had this printer for years.  I had a few problems here and there, but it was basically a machine reliable and quality.  A week or two ago, my HP black ink cartridge ran out.  I tried an ink cartridge not HP for the first time.  (Gasp!)  It did not work.  I assumed it was less and I pulled it.  I then installed a new HP black cartridge 564XL.  But still no black ink is printed.  I ran 'clean' in the Tools menu print head several times.  I cleaned the electrical contacts.  I made sure that the evacuation of cartridge area was clear.  I removed the cartridges, unplugged for a minute or two and reinstalled them.  Nothing has worked.  Probably put in this cartridge not HP for a few minutes is not totally destroy my printer!   Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  Well, this printer has been crossed at my nearest store Big Box Office Supply for recycling.  I ordered a new printer (* certainly * NOT a HP!) and it will be delivered today.  HP, when figure you you lose your faithful?  There was a time I thought that all that HP was almost sacred in the world of technology.  No more, no more.

• Photosmart C5380 printer printing black ink despite a full ink cartridge impossible

  I have a printer all-in - One Photosmart C5380 suddenly can't print in black ink, even if the ink cartridge was half full.  I swapped in a new black ink cartridge and did a test printer.  The test of the printer has failed since no black ink that stood on the print.  I cleaned the printerhead via the screen of the printer as well and that did not help. I currently have a PC with Windows Vista.  Any ideas what my problem could be?

  Thank you!

  Make sure that the ventilation openings are clear as in Solution 6, step 3 of this document (for another model, but same principle).  If that doesn't help not post here can help solve the problem.

• HP Photosmart C309a does not print after I installed new black ink cartridge.

  Printer was working fine until I replaced the black ink cartridge.
  Does not print the text in black on the printer test page.
  The States new HP printer installed cartridge.
  All other colors are working well and were replaced at the same time.
  Tried cleaning cartridges - pulling the cartridge and put back in - turning the printer off and on again.
  Also tried to restart the computer.
  Could there be a problem with the ink cartridge itself?

  REAL SOLUTION. I had the same experience, spent hours pulling my hair like children had project do to school and it was 22:00.  Your cart is clogged! Here IS THE SOLUTION! (: 1) remove all ink cartridges. (2) extract the carriage that circulate in the ink cartridges by lever on the right and the trolley lifting vertically. (3) wipe any accumulation of visible ink on the outside with clean cloth or paper towel. (4) THIS IS THE KEY: keep transport under hot running water to empty all the handwritten entries in the irrigation channels that distribute ink. Keep rinsing in clear water i.e. no sign of ink. (5) trolley dry with clean cloth and blowing in areas, you can access in order to remove the remains of the water. (6) let transport air-dry overnight. (7) Re-install transport, then reinstall the ink cartridges. 8) ENJOY YOUR PRINTER. (9) I saw many entries on this topic dating back two years, without real solution offered. I am an automotive engineer in unemployment. If HP (or anyone else) would like to hire a smart worker, engineer in the Detroit area, please inform. Thank you!
