Photosmart HP 6510 will not print black.

I bought this printer less than 2 years ago, but the warranty has expired. Ran through all the troubleshooting steps and replace the black half full with a new cartridge. It still won't print black - other cartridges work fine. What is going on?

  • 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,

  • 5512: 5512 printer will not print black - 3 of all colors print correctly

    Hello

    The 5512 will not print black.  New cartridge installed.  Clean print head run more than 5 times without problem.  There was many 5512 'no black printing problem' not noticed on this forum with many courses of resolution.  I followed the instructions found on so many comments, but unfortunitely, the problem still exist.  I noticed there were some done private view so I don't know that there is a similar problem that needs to be processed offline.  Thanks in advance for any help provided.

    Thank you all for the suggestions.

    Nothing has worked for don't solve the "no black ink.

    So, I took the print head of cart and carefully protected the small circuit board on the back side.  There is a large accumulation of ink on the bottom of the Assembly.  I sat the nozzles at the bottom of the distribution of very hot water and allowed some time to soak.  From there on, I used carefully some fabric material and q-tips to wipe the nozzles.  Then I got very hot water, and he ran to the top of the side of the Assembly to the screens and through the nozzles.  This effort lead to a very large discharge of ink black and color.  I dried the Assembly and reassembled the transport to the printer.  Placed all the cartridges back in, ran clean printhead once and then guess what? the printer now prints black and color inks better than he has in years.

    Total time needed to perform this cleanup was less than 30 minutes from start to finish.

    Good luck to all of you who have this problem.

    Before the rampage of the printer, it is interesting to try this fix.

    Good luck!

  • My Officejet 6500 E709 all in one will not print black.

    My HP Officejet 6500 E709n all-in-one will not print black.   All other colors work very well.  Have you tried what follows - new black cartridge installed, ran the print heads clean utility, made sure the wind was compatible black ink cartridge, turned printer off and restarted.  Print tests still not print black - other colors and images to print, but not text black or shades of black in images.  Any suggestions on how to fix or what needs to be repaired?  Thank you.

    Hi jim: I just had the same problem a few minutes ago. After having gone through all the troubleshooting steps, I realized it was all just a bad cartridge. The PIN on the printer heads were not reading the new cartridge, so nothing in black print could be printed. I installed a new black cartridge and I could resume my printing projects. I then contacted the HP store directly to report the faulty cartridge while they could send me a new, that I won't be out of pocket for a cartridge I bought directly from them.

    Hope this helps you with your problem.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • PHOTOSMART 5520 WILL NOT PRINT BLACK

    I just replaced the cartridges for my PHOTOSMART 5520.

    After that, color printing has no black color.

    All HP cartridges are not new.

    It's very frustrating.

    for some unknown reason, this problem is gone when I tried printing 2 weeks later.

    To summarize:

    I'm in the United States.

    I replaced the 4 cartridges again purchased at HP online.

    After that, the black will not print if I choose to print in color.

    But if I print in "black and white only", black is in fact works very well.

    I tried everything suggested in the web forum such as cleaning, alignment, prower AC cycle,... etc. He has not fixed the problem.

    I stop using the printer for 2 weeks. But yesterday, I try agin, then the problem is gone.

    I don't know what to say. Thanks to HP for assistance.

    Overall, the servie is nice - just called him several times.

  • Photosmart HP 5510 - will not print using black ink

    I have problems with my HP Photosmart 5510 all-in-One printer, because it will not print in black. All cartridges are brand new and are genuine HP cartridges. I've never used anything other than HP cartridges, and I believe that I have would be considered a very light printer user.

    I use a HP Pavilion Desktop PC (Vista Home Premium) connected to the printer via a USB cable.

    I have to 'reset' the printer (power cable removed for 20 seconds), I cleaned the print heads and tried to re-alignment of the printer.

    I ran HP print and Scan diagnostics and do the message "Everything out OK with your product." I then print a test page which "fails", that there is no black ink in use. The diagnosis confirms that the ink levels are all OK and that my printer uses HP authentic and than Normal inks or better quality is selected.

    The printer is a little over a year old and as mentioned has had very light use.

    There is no error - every reason to believe that everything is OK.

    I wish I had a solution to this problem.

    As by chance my previous printer a HP Photosmart 3210 all-in-One failed in a similar way, although in this case, the black was fine, it was impossible to print colors correctly. Once the printer was just out of warranty.

    Curiously enough and fortunately like few others on the forum a few days after the installation of the new cartridge, it seems to work perfectly fine again.  any ideas as to why this happens?

  • 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')

  • 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!
