• Photosmart D110a: installed the new HP black ink cartridge and now the black ink does not print

  Just installed a new print 60xl cartridge to replace the one that was being ink. Now the black ink basically does not print. I cleaned the cartridges 4 times and run all Diagnostics pages. The black prints just a small piece of the upper part of the letters on the pages of diagnostics and in grayscale on the test pages.

  Black ink does not print.

  I chose clean print head - more than once.

  It took several alignings, printer status reports, wiping excess ink and so on.

  After a day or more, the HP6500 Officejet 6500 e709n printed ink black.

  Just a note:

  My color ink cartridges are very low.

  I just use black ink.

• HP Officejet 6500 ink cartridge 920, Vista - alignment failed, black ink does not print

  I went through the diagnostic process because my printer gives me a view of alignment failed and my black ink will not print.   It is established that I need to replace the print head.  Is it complicated?  What should I do when I need the printer/fax every day?  I have no time for that computer to be down for a day, and even less for as long as it takes to get the part here and replace it myself.  Or worse, if I send to HP to have the work done.

  Replacement of the print head is not complicated, it can be done in 5 minutes.  Before doing this, you could be sure that the ventilation openings are not connected and you might try to soak the printhead as shown here.

• HP Photosmart C309A: black ink does not print - print head prints correctly to a different printer

  Black does not print. (All HP inks) Replaced the black head - has still not printing.  Tested in an another HPprinter - head works very well.

  Please answer - is there a software, cabling, physical issue with the black only?  (Tried to restart the printer and cleaning already)

  Hi @KenKrieger,

  I understand that you are having problems with the black does not print, you have replaced the printhead to another printer and it prints fine. I want to help you.

  I'm assuming that you used the same cartridges in the print head when you try them in another printer, let me know if you didn't like it.

  Given that the new printhead works in another unit, it seems that it would be a problem with the hardware with the printer and it would need to be repaired.

  I have provided all the documentation for this problem, probably all of the steps have been made previously.

  Documentation to solve the black does not print:

  Printer prints a blank Page or does not print black or color ink for the HP Photosmart Premium C309a...

  This document provides instructions to manually clean the contacts of the cartridge.

  ' Ink cartridge problem - following ink cartridges seems to be missing or corrupt "Message say...

  Here is a document to manually clean the print head.

  'Print head problem' or "Print head seems to be missing or corrupt" Message appears on the computer...

• Black ink does not print, message alignment is not

  Photosmart HP B210a more - black ink print do not. Put in a new cartridge even if there is still ink in another cartridge. A cleaned, check printing (only the color has shown), align printer has failed.
  Called customer support told them after that research problem that he said might need replaced print head. Gave me two phone numbers with an exhibit, waste of time with this option. I wanted to know the cost of replacement to see if it is worth)

  If you have already performed the steps in troubleshooting in the paper here I would soak the printhead as described in the post here.  Note that black does not print, alignment to fail.

• HP deskjet 3520: black ink does not print

  My HP deskjet printer that is 2 months warranty, that I recently bought a new HP cartridges for now will not print black (other colors are all very well).
  If have spent hours and hours trying to solve this problem, following all the advice on this forum - believe me, I tried to clean the vent system, cleaning of the print head. The really frustrating thing I had just bought new ink for the machine $60 thrown and now my printer does not print. I'm out $60 and I need to buy a new machine very frustrating and this machine is used very little only occasionally to print some checks and a few emails.

  I promise you that this HP will not be my next choice.

• black ink does not print HP Photosmart all-in-one

  I have new cartridges and after installation black will not print.  All other colors are pring.

  Hi Luv2dance728,

  Thanks for the reply and the information

  I suggest you start as a result of this document for Troubleshooting print quality problems, should be able to help you to get black ink works again. If it isn't, you can also try manually cleaning your print head to make sure there isn't a buildup preventing out black ink.

  If the printer still won't print black ink, it is perhaps an accumulation inside the print head or on the beak and to help solve this problem, you can follow the instructions in Bob_Headrick in this post on soak your printhead.

  If after these three things, black is not always print, it's a hardware problem with the printer print head and I suggest to call HP Support and inquire about their exchanges of and the trade program.

  Hope this helps, have a nice day!

• HP Photosmart C7280 black ink does not print

  I am really frustrated.  My printer has indicated that I needed a new black ink cartridge and I bought a new cartridge and put it in.  The level indicates that it is full.  However, when printing, it allows to print all colors EXCEPT black.  I did a self diagnostic Test as well as an alignment cartridges print several times to try to get the black to work, but to no avail.  It prints all other colors, but not black.  I took the black cartridge in a store to check it out and I was told that there is nothing wrong with the cartridge.  I have looked at all areas of technical support, but don't see any advice for this situation.  Has anyone that happen and what is my next step.

  I lived similar questions, then I tried step 4 on this page:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00635953

  Basically, I took the black ink cartridge, it has left on the desk with the printhead across the street for two hours, wiped it with a wet paper towel (not sure if this is necessary) and reinstalled. I printed a test page, then print a regular page - it was beautiful and my problem was solved!

• Photosmart 5510 EI in a black ink does not print

  After a month absence black ink print more. I replaced a new cartridge. (all original HP). I followed all the instructions of the diagnostic tools and also suggestions in this forum (cleaning of the printheads, ink to smear, reset), but the problem is not resolved. My printer is a little over 1 year and so I'm afraid that leave the repair costs more than buying a new one. What would you suggest that I can do better
