  No error messages but trying to align or check colors - black doesn't print at all

  No change - knew ink was low so I tried to install a new black ink cartridge - then one day later tried an another new black ink cartridge

  I tried all the techniques of "Troubleshooting" listed on the page Web - align, clean the print heads, install the new cartridges, looking for trouble with the vents, etc.  I have only used HP ink cartridges.

  Hi abruce,.

  Usually, it is a result of dried/clogged ink nozzles in the printer or the print head.

  According to some other users on the forums, you can remove the print head (use this guide if you are unsure how: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01944580)

  Make sure the cartridges are removed from the print head

  Dive head in hot water, nozzles downwards. (about 1 in. of water) and leave any residue of ink to flow. This process should take about 15 minutes. Ensure that the print head is completely dried out and there is no moisture in the electrical contacts or the rest of the part.

  I hope this helps!

• my HP photosmart Plus B210 won't print black. a cartridge Printhead Cleaner would help?

  my HP printer has been activated in May 2010.  How his cleaned print head?

  There is a document with steps to help solve the problems of print, such as no black print quality, in the B210 located here.

  If the steps documented not to get the backup device and go, then we have to determine the status of the guarantee. If the printer was purchased in May 2010 and has been purchased without carepack, then the printer is out of warranty.

  We can try a few things at this point:
  (1) can try to clean the printhead manually, by using workaround in the thread located here.
  (2) you can buy the print head for this device since the HP parts store using the CN642a part number. The HP parts store can be found here.
  (3) we can try to buy another printer, please consider to call the HP Technical Support and investigate the upgrade program.

  I hope this helps.

• Photosmart 210 a: won't print black after installing new print heads

  Hello, I bought and installed a new printhead. It will print color but not black.  They were all new cartridges when the print head went down.  the tools to say all the cartridges are full, please help.

  Hey there @LMACE!

  Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  I see that your printer is not printing black once the print head had been replaced.  I would be more then happy to provide you with some suggestions that can make things work again.  The first thing I would suggest is to remove the cartridges and printheads the printer and manually clean the electrical contacts on the printhead and the printer.  It is possible ink sprayed on the copper contacts causing a bad connection, when the new print head has been installed.  If the printhead is not getting a good connection, you may notice messages on the printer error and poor print quality.

  To clean manually the printhead in the B210a Photosmart click here: manually clean the print head

  If please, after back and let me know how it goes!

• Photosmart 5520:5520 won't print black

  Hello

  I just installed all new cartridges (they are real HP). But it does not print black.

  I went so all the help which is suggersted in the forum. But, no luck.

  I think that the print head is probably bad.  I spent about $70.00 for four cartridge 564XL.

  I'm too lazy on the purchase of a new black cartridge.

  Also, when I try to scan the alignment page, it says not found alignment page.

  It's more than 3-4 years. So, I probably need to buy a new.   HP maintenance tool detects any problems.

  I just wish I have not wasted $70.00 for the cartridges.  A new HP printr costs less than...

  Kind regards

  Sery

• Photosmart C6380 AiO won't print black

  Hello

  We have a HP Photosmart C6380 all-in-one, that allows to print is darker. The photo in the black and color cartridges are OK I can say. This is the regular black which does not print.

  We had this happen the last time we changed the regular black ink cartridge. For some reason any the new cartridge was not print anything so temporarily, we went back to the old cartridge and it worked again. Then we took on the old cartridge and put in new cartridge and it continued to work. Now, the cartridge is about half empty and he left black print.

  This should not be a computer related question. But in the case where it is important: WIndows XP SP3. Sorry I don't know exactly what version of driver that I use but I ran HP update by the solution Center-> help-> Check for Updates and everything is up to date as far as I can tell.

  I tried to get the printer to print in black through the menus on the printer itself Setup-> tools-> Printer Status Report. He throws only a blank page. I tried to run the HP Hardware Diagnostic Utility. He points out that everything is fine, but, of course, when I told it to print a test page it launches a blank page.

  We finally gave up and put in a new black cartridge fresh (564 XL) and it does not print anything. Any suggestions?

  The printer seems to have spontaneously printed a test page with black text on it. No one said here of the printer to do a test page. The black cartridge now seems to work. Just a report of the status of the printer and everything seems OK.

• HP Photosmart Plus B209a-m software printing for Windows 8.1

  I recently bought a HP desktop computer preloaded with Windows 8.1.  My printer is a HP B209a-m, but the installation disk will not install on Windows 8.1.  Is there anyway that I can get an installation disc for my HP printer, which apparently only works with Windows 7 and lower?

  spo_1948,

  Click on the below link which will take you your software products download page then you can select your operating system, this printer support WIndows 8.1 and download and install the software.

• Why did TMP_00 attached to my name of the printer, Photosmart Plus B209a-m

  I had to reinstall my network from my HP Pavilion DV6 laptop, an HP Photosmart Plus B209a-m and a router D-links.

  Since I did it, the laptop is fine, but I was unable to get the printer works wirelessly.  I spent hours chatting with HP printer location, but they have not yet set.  I was told that I had to uninstall my USB and let him resettle.  I saw on an attempt there is a shift of the IP address to reinstall.

  It seems to me that either uninstall and install does not completely remove/replace all necessary files because I saw things like TMP_00 and Copy_1 attached to the end of my name of the printer also, when I looked "Protected from the network connections for the domain profile", he mentions 3 connections.

  Wireless Connection2

  Wireless network connection

  Connection to the local network

  I need to delete all files after uninstall, so that my printer name is not a TMP_00 or copy2 attached to it when I reinstall?  Is it important that the names are extended or if multipul connections listed there?

  Thank you for your response.  It seems the best answer I got, here or through conversations, HP Solution Center, original install disc, etc.  I saved it in case I have problems in the future.

  My printer seems to work fine now, even wireless scan.  I looked in the start menu and click the HP folder, inside was my printer.  I clicked on that and chose the option to change to wireless USB.  I went into the menu and in the end I pulled out the USB cable and everything seemed to work.  The screens were all as the orig. install screens and he acted as if it was a new printer with options to save my new product HP and the HP etc shop offers.

  After hours I spent on it, the solution was still within my reach.  Not sure I should give congratulations, because I'm not going to try your solution.

  Thanks anyway.  Mark Brorson

• HP Photosmart Plus all-in-One Printer series - B209a

  Hello

  I have a problem with my HP Photosmart Plus all-in-One Printer series - B209a printer.

  It prints a picture by using too much magenta.

  When starting the printer, I got a message saying that I had to replace the magenta toner with a new one. I did as instructed. I printed a new document, but it came out in magenta.

  Even if the other cartridges were not empty and yet I replaced with new ones, thinking that maybe the ink dries up because I have not used the printer for a few months now. I used all original HP XL cartridges.  Subsequently, I printed testpages 5 before you print my picture.

  The printer uses all colors now, but it uses too much magenta to print my photo.

  I used the printer for several years now and never had this problem before.

  Is this a problem that can be solved?

  Troubleshooting steps described in this document can help solve the problem.  Be sure to check the vents to make sure that they are not plugged.

• Our HP Photosmart Plus b209a-m this that it is not connected after a change of modem.

  Lightning struck the power line outside our House. We had to replace the modem. Now our HP Photosmart Plus b209a-m shows that it is not connected. Connect us wirelessly. What should I do to get this operational return.

  Go to Applications > Hewlett-Packard > [your printer model] > setting up the printer and software.  Run it to re - connect your printer to your wireless network.  Need you a USB cable temporarily.  Connect it only when the software asks you.

  Hey there @LB84105

  Thanks for posting on the HP Forums.

  I want to help! I see that your computer keeps trying to install the printer software.  I recommend you to go to "Add or remove programs" and making sure that all the printer software are uninstalled. When it is finished, run the "Disk Cleanup" and mark all the boxes to remove the folder temp and other junk. Restart the computer and let me know if the message stops.

  Thank you!
