Photosmart HP 6520 - black not printing

Similar Questions

• PHOTOSMART HP 6520 does not print black. And the ink levels estimated for the other inks are not correct.

  Hi, I bought my photosmart Hp 6520 year last, October. But it is no more print black after replacing ink twice. I tried to clean the print head with water and tried "clean print head" in tools, does not solve the problem...

  What is wired is that I bought 4 new 564 inks the hp of the target 2 days ago, printed only less than 10 pages to see if the problem is resolved. Then my printer told me that the cartridge is too low... Is this possible?

  It makes me crazy now... What is even worse, I used a tool to detect my printer, and he said that is no longer under warranty... But he was only 9 months... How can I solve this problem? Thank you.

  The document here can help solve the black does not print on your Photosmart 6520.  Be sure to check the vents, as on the three solution.

  If this does not resolve the issue I suggest you call HP (1-800-HPINVENt to the United States, see here for details by the way).  The warranty online tool is an estimate, they will have a process of updated the status of the guarantee if necessary.

• Printers HP Photosmart 6520: Photosmart HP 6520 does not print black

  When I print from my Dell Inspiron One 2330 (wireless), the black ink does not work.  I ran 10 Windows troubleshooting link on your site and it did not help.  I printed a "quality report" directly from the printer and the black letterng was very good.  I installed the new (564XL) black ink but it did not help.  Several weeks ago, I installed Windows 10 and until this week, everything was fine.  My printer is configured as a default network printer.  I'm having the same problem when I print from my iPhone 5 and iPad.

  My problem turned out to be a hardware problem - bought a new printer.

• Photosmart 6520 does not print text in black.

  Photosmat 6520 will not print in black.  Cleaned up the wind of the cartridge and ran maintenance twice.  Test page, all the colors OK and text was correctly printed in black.  However, in attempts to print the text later, printer would not print in black.

  Almost enough money has been spent for the ink to try to correct the problem, as well as the cost of travel for the purchase of new cartridges, to pay for a new printer.  Therefore, I decided to remove the printer.  I was never as happy with it anyway.  I din't print a lot, but when I print, more ink is used in the maintenance process for the printed book.  Once again, you guys have been great, and I really appreciate your efforts to help me with the problem.

• 6520 will not print entire photo

  My 6520 will not print a full letter-size photo.  It prints about a third of the image until the computer gives an error message that the printer is unable to print the photo. I tried several quality and size settings, restarted the computer and the printer and changed all new ink cartridges ink HP. Print very well. This happens in Windows Photo, photo viewer and Photo HP programs. Thanks for any help you can offer.

  Hello thehands, welcome to the forums

  I understand that you have some printing problems with your Photosmart 6520 and thank you where I can help with this!

  I would first make a few copies of the printer itself without going through a command sent to the printer from the computer. This will allow to test the equipment to make sure it's right before you start the troubleshooting software.

  If copies work fine, I have to know the operating system you are running. Just to be a little proactive, if you run Windows, run the print and Scan Doctor to see if the tool will correct the printing problem. If that does not help, try to uninstall the printer software and reinstall the printer by downloading and installing here: HP Photosmart 6520 e-all-in-one printer drivers

  If you are using a Mac, try the following steps:

  1. Mac OS X: how to reset the printing system
  2. Repair disk permissions
  3. Restart your Mac
  4. Add new printer (do not use the AirPrint driver)
  5. Test print

  Please let me know the results and if there are still any problems at all, I would like to know the details!

  Have a nice day

• 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 HP 6520: black ink does not print

  I've had the printer for less than 2 years 6520 and black stopped printing. I did all the instructions on the screen for troubleshooting, and still it does not work. If anyone has some advice, it would be appreciated. I'm not wanting to pay a fee to speak to a live person. What happened to free customer service?

• Photosmart 6520 does not print the new black ink cartridge

  My new black ink no longer works on the printer.  This seems to be a problem throughout all of the printers HP no matter what model.  Did someone with similar problems had success getting their black to print despite all recommendations of manufacturing without success?  I have my printer just over a year.  I think it's ridiculous that a product falls down that quickly for money which is devoted to this topic.  I called HP for technical support and after doing all the things, he recommended that he told me that my printer is broken... is no longer under warranty... but he will sell me gladly one handed to nine for more than the cost I would pay if I bought it new from Amazon.  I trust is no longer the product... Why would I want one handed to nine?  Just looking for more tips out there who may have worked for others, before going out and buying an Epson.

  Had same problem, went out and bought new cartridges ink and all but worked black, what to do, throw it in the trash? or have a go at fixing, because I had just spent more than $90 on new cartridges, I thought I'd be there is attachment.

  To cut a long story short, that I managed to detach, scratching the dining room in the process, wife not impressed! puledl the ink outside, white liquor dispenser put spray gave him a good squirt, put back together, it now works like a new! Yay! Geez I'm so smart.

• 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,

• HP B210a Photosmart: not black not printing

  I read all the similar posts on this problem but still can not my black printing ink.

  I was to have absolutely NO problems printing, but needed to replace my cartridges.  Did, with the new ink HP 564, but now the black does not print.  I replaced the black with a new cartridge.  For the color ink levels are now less than half (from all the pages of diagnostics, impression I guess), the black is full.     I did everything what I can do. all instructions from HP, including soaking them head printing (only once).  I get the error 'ink system failure' and when I try to align the cartridges, it still fails.   When I reset the printer, I get error Oxc19a0013 and follow all the instructions to resolve the issue.   After all this, I resorted to buying a new print head, but I always meet the same problems.  Help, please.  Maybe it's time for a new printer thanks for any help.  It seems that it is a fairly common-HP problem can something to help?

  On a hunch, I turned everything off-router, modem, PC, printer.  Now, the prints in black, but the colors don't. The estimated ink levels are OK.  Copy and print are the same black only.  He keeps asking me to realign the print head, I already did several times.   What happens here?

  Hi @PB14,

  2. " HP printers -"Problem with print head","printer failure,"'Ink system failure,' or ' 0 x ' r a 'C2 '.... "Displays Message error.

  Hello bcgoodwrench,

  I don't see you mention the presence of 'BLACK'.

  
  If there was no black printing, then I would say you call the HP Technical Support for assistance.

  If you are in the United States, the toll free # is 1-800-474-6836 .

  If you are not in US , then log on to www.hp.com , bottom left there is a world map icon, click it, and then select the region that you belong to, which would then provide the support options for you for this region.

  Kind regards

• 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?

• HP 6520: HP 6520 will not print black TEXT - will be pictures fine print

  I don't know what is happening with my HP 6520. I posted some time ago, thinking that it was just black as ink cartridge when I try to print a Word document, Internet Pages (any browser or operating system (I also have a Dell laptop, in addition to an iPad).) I tried to clean the printheads several times and when I print the confirmation page, the part of the black box does NOT print. However, I printed the photos in color on this perfect look me. I even printed a photo of my black dog, my gray koi, a black and white koi, green plants, and all this look perfect. Just the printer will not print any BLACK TEXT. Yes, it will display the text in blue (which does not work if I am trying to print a form on the Internet). I typed in black text in a document, printed out, and it is empty. I then change the color to blue, and it seems. Yes, tried on two computers and different programs/systems operation/browsers (IE, Firefox, Safari)

  Any ideas?

  Thank you!

• Photosmart 6520 does not print wireless

  Hello
  Previously, the printer was very good in all aspects, including wireless printing. But now it will not print from an iPad iOS 8 or a computer laptop windows 8. It printed before the iPad even on. Same iOS software 8 - so I can confirm it wasn't the iOS update 8 that caused the problem. The same goes for the laptop - it long before print with it on the same operating system. On the iPad, it is not saved as an AirPrint printer and the laptop, he says he is "offline." I think the problem is, therefore, with the printer - if she says it is online and connected to our home WiFi (same as the iPad and the laptop is connected to) or iPad, or laptop can connect or register that it's there.
  You can only print wirelessly with the printer (without option of thread) so I had to do the tedious job of printing with Direct wireless. When I do this it's fine, but it takes a while and I could instead just print over WiFi at home.
  Any suggestions? I have already disconnected the printer and WiFi and then reconnected (set the password to new etc).
  Very grateful for any help. -Louisa

  Hello LouisaD,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

  I understand that recently you have not been able to print to the Photosmart 6520 an iPad or computer in Windows 8, but you can connect to wireless Direct the printer and print. I also agree that a problem is not present on the iPad or computer, but since it can print with direct wireless connection, I do not have a problem with the printer either.

  I linked these two documents: "Printer is off-line" Message appears on the computer and the printer will not print: Windows 8 & Printing Over a Wireless Network with AirPrint FAQ Apple (what happens if you see a "No AirPrint Printers Found" message on my device Apple?), because they deal with the basics and help determine if the network is originally a block.

  Let me know the results in detail the best possible, and we will discuss later in this if the problem is not resolved.

  See you soon,.

• Photosmart HP 5510 is not printing black

  After I changed my black cartridge with a new one (original HP 364 XL), it does not print any black.

  I did all the steps I found here on the forum, apparently this problem is pretty common with the 5510 after he reached the age of one year... but none worked.

  I read that the last option is a reset 'special '? I would like to know how it works.

  No matter what HP tech out there who can help me?

  Thank you!
