Photosmart HP 6520: For HP Photosmart 6520 black print cartridge does not print

My printer suddenly decided to not print black ink, the indicator showed still had about 30 percent ink left, but when making the diagnosis of quality black ink pring was incomplete printing.  I did an alignment of the printer and cleaned the printheads, still nothing, black does not print clearly.  I bought a new ink cartridge, of the March 2017 expiry date, did the same steps as above and nothing.  The black box is now completely empty.  My previous printer was a 6510 HP which has begun to do this, and after losing a ton of ink clean print head, etc., I ended up buying just the 6520.  It is now out of warranty as of October 2014, but black ink does the same thing as ink color on the 6510.  I watched throughthe for answers forums, tried to soak the cartridge in case it has been clogged, etc..  None of the above helped me, and I am not interested in buying ANOTHER printer.  Any thoughts?

One of the questions forum indicated that l ' turn off from one day to the next, sometimes worked.  I turned it off last night and just turned on today, and works in ink!  Not sure if it was the rest overnight or clog with water, but today he works.

    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 C4280 new black HP74XL cartridge does not print

    I installed a new black cartridge HP 74XL and black ink does not print. I checked the ink level, and it shows that the cartridge is full 100%. The old cartridge printed fine until the ink ran out. I'm running on Mac OS X 10.6.8 operating system.

  • HP Officejet 6500 a Plus: black ink cartridge does not print

    I have a HP Officejet 6500 a and have an operating system of Windows 10 on a Dell Inspiron 15R.  The printer does not print any black ink. I have genuine HP cartridges and the black cartridge is about 75% full. It was working properly until this morning. I downloaded your troubleshooting and everything seems fine. I ran the program cleaning head several times, but I can't always get black ink on a page. The other colors are fine. After the second head cleaning, I got a very small black image, but head cleaning has resulted in no black ink. I made sure that the wind had been reached on the cartridge and this problem occurs with wireless and hard wired connections. Time before, it happened and when I replaced the cartridge, it worked. After reading some of the messages on the map, it seems not to be the solution. I also hesitate to throw a cartridge that is only 25% used. Can you help me?

    What is value?

    The problem solved itself suddenly. Black works now! I don't know what he cured I have applied a single repair by turning off it and back on and at the time that doesn't seem to work.

  • 3520 Deskject HP all-in-one: newly replaced black ink cartridge does not print

    My ink level is full.  I just replaced my black cartridge (with genuine HP cartridges). No black is printing.  I tried all the troubleshooting tips including the alignment of the printer, clean the print head. Remove and reinsert the cartridges.  I replaced the cartridge several times during the past year is nothing new.  Can't understand why black will not only be printed.

    This is your last hope.

    Watch the videos and if you can remove the printhead and clean, it might work.

  • Photosmart 5520 black ink cartridge not working not

    I have the same problemwith Photosmart 5520, black ink, it's not working

    A few hours ago, I bought a new cartridge. Because the return, we were out of ink and... I changed (for the second time since I bought the printer) and after that... the printer does not print black ink more.  I bought the printer at ElGiganten, Copenhagen, Denmark. I wasn't expecting to find unwanted product on the market, the Danmark. I wasn't expecting HP to deceive people so much. I checked here on the site if the printer, it's still in warranty... not even an answer. So I spend almost 5 hours to check all the * solutions * I try, the printer still give me blank pages.

    The ink on the new cartridge is now... 45% or something. How his as possible! If the pages came out completely of white100 euro, in the trash, past time for anything on this site/forum... I do not understand how you are allowed to sell bad products on the market.

    For HP, you have deceived many people including me, I hope you will take away from the market, at least to the Danmark.

  • All-in-one HP Photosmart C310a: "True HP" cartridges are NOT SUSTAINABLE

    I use a HP Photosmart Premium C310a series all-in - one.I also use ONLY HP #564 ink cartridges. I do basically all my printing in grayscale, which I suppose is only black ink. I don't have one of the other cartridges replaced since the receipt of alerts "low ink" on them, awhile ago, I never print in color.

    My problem is that the black ink cartridges are not sustainable. I recently replaced the larger of the 2 black inks in January. Since then, I have only printed perhaps 25 pages. Now, it's as if it is empty.

    It shows low on ink diagnosis, however, when I run a report of print quality, it shows full. I ran a report of alignment (failure) and cleaning cartridges (doesn't give me an option of 'yes' or 'no' as shown in the troubleshooting guide)

    Before replacing the cartridge in January, I cleaned the print head / contacts as the same thing happening.

    I REALLY want to replace the whole print head, but also can't keep replacing a new cartridge about 25 pages.

    ANY SUGGESTIONS?

  • Always printing black ink cartridge is not after several clean using your own ink cartridges

    I have a HP Deskjet 3050 All in One J610 series printer.

    I use Windows XP.

    I'm a Newbie as HP printers are concerned, but some have experience troubleshooting former HP model a parent.

    The black cartridge is not printing.   For various reasons, I have not used the printer for about two months.  So far, the printer worked fine, and in fact it is still using the cartridges that came with the printer.  I mention these points here because I realize or the other or both can be part of the issue.

    When I sent a document to the printer, printing was uneven.  I checked ink levels and black and color cartridges were about the third two full (before I used the print head cleaning utility.

    After cleaning the printheads, I tried again and this time the impression was the same, but in a shade of light blue, which was very low.  However, the original document is in a police man and a shade of gray, so perhaps he used ink cartridge color and not black?

    Research using the viewer help from HP does not help because it implies that you don't know how to locate the ink cartridge Clean Utility.

    After searching on Google to match the questions, I tried a second and then a third level of cleaning.  And because a post mentioned have to do eight times, I did a little more luck.  When the page is printed at the end of the cleaning cycle, the colors come out crisp and even.  There is no black bloc... is there?  I can't find an image showing a what print perfect following cleaning should look like.

    Additional to clean using the utility attempts do not seem to have worked and could even have been counterproductive because when I tried to print another document, and this came out so pale that I first thought that it is a blank page.

    I used the utility to re-estimated ink levels and the color is always about two third full, while black has dropped a little down, but is still above half full.  There is a check/tick showing for black ink and color.

    Messages on similar questions suggest that the replacement of the cartridge does not solve the problem and that heads should be cleaned manually.

    Should I try to clean the heads manually?  Who was mentioned on the threads and even on the HP support but as another option for a very different model.   I watched some demos on You Tube, but they are for different models of HP, in which they remove the printheads and clean them in a solution provided in the trade which I think is available in the United Kingdom, or with water!

    I would be grateful for any advice as to whether I should remove the black cartridge and clean heads printing and, if so, if someone could point me to a link where this is illustrated step by step, video, or shown in the logical steps.

    In the meantime I'll go off and buy a new black cartridge, but if it's the heads need cleaning, I'll have to do anyway.

    Thanks for any advice you can give me!

    I would like to manually clean the contacts on the cartridges and the printer. The process is described for your model of printer in step 3 of this document here.  The rest of the document does not apply to your question, but it does a great job giving instructions step by step on the manual cleanup process and materials needed to use lists. Manual cleaning will help ensure that the accumulation of contacts is not the cause of the issue of the print quality that you are experiencing. I hope this helps.
