Photosmart Plus B210a print or copy black

My B210a Photosmart more to print or copy in black mode 'Copy' or 'Print PC'. Black cartridge is almost new and has worked for 2 weeks; color cartridges are between 25% and 33% of ink left. Colors will be printed, and there is no error message. Wireless printer works from a PC with Windows Vista.

Help, please.

Hi, if the printer is on a thing of warranty that may be worth soaking the print head...

(1) get a pan and put 1/2 "of very hot (not boiling) water in the bottom.
(2) remove all ink cartridges, then remove the print head Assembly.
(3) gently put the printhead nozzles down in water and soak for 5 minutes.
(4) remove the print head and gently dry the electrical contacts.
(5) replace the print head in the printer and then reinstall the ink cartridges.

Can you please let me know how you go?

Thank you

  • HP Photosmart Plus B210a printing problem

    I recently bought a HP Photsmart Plus all-in-One Printer B210a and find that I can't customize the size of the paper or the envelope as I could with my Photosmart C4480 printer of old.  This seems silly to me.  In addition, I can't find a helpline for this device.  Would be grateful at least this last!

  • I just bought a Photosmart Plus B210a printer/scanner

    How to print on both sides of the page with my printer B210a?

    I tried with limited success.

    I print the odd pages, turn the printed around pages and put them in the feeder, then print the even pages.

    This translates into OK printing pages, but pages are in reverse order! for example, page 64 ends on the back of page 1.

    I need to reinstall the odd pages before you put back them in the charger?

    It's OK... I found the answer my self experimenting.

    The solution was to click on "Reverse the Pages" when you print the even pages.

  • HP Photosmart Plus - B210a printing problems

    My photo printer prints now all my photos in red.  First of all, this occurred when the ink cartridges were low.  I replaced the time and the Red pictures disappeared.  When photos started printing in red, I have replaced all cartridges with HP ink cartridges and made sure all cartridges have not all the bands on them to restrict the flow of ink, but still to print photos in red.  I also cleaned and aligned printheads several times but the problem persists.  By tools, my ink levels is now up to 50 percent of the Red photo printing.  I use photo paper bought at Costco, which is the same paper used when the images did print correctly.

    What should I do for the photo printer to get the pictures to print correctly?

    I don't know exactly of what has caused the problem, but I have speculations. It is possible that the ink pipes have stamps, air preventing the ink being subject to a push of the ink cartridge for the print heads. That's why it took 2-3 printheads clean processes to get the ink out. Another possibility is that the print nozzles are blocked and the print head cleaning process after several tests. Regarding prevention, the only thing that I could think off is to make sure to use the power button when you want to turn off the printer. This is to ensure that the print heads is capped correctly to avoid the obstruction. So basically when you get the power failure, be sure to turn on the printer as soon as you get back power. Run a clean print head immediately.

  • Photosmart Plus B210a will not print on the Windows XP computer, but works on the Windows 7 computer

    I just got a Photosmart Plus B210a printer. I was able to install it using the wireless for my Dell Dimension 3000 3 GHz computer with Windows XP 32-bit SP3. He will answer analysis, but it will NOT print, it doesn't matter what I do. I have a Netgear wireless router. I tried the Dell connected directly to the router using a USB of Netgear WG111v3 USB adapter and cable. No impression whatever the configuration.

    On the other hand, I was able to make the printer work with an Athlon II X 4 630 with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit AMD machine. Everything works independently to know if the machine is connected directly to the router Netgear or using the above USB adapter.

    How can I make work B210a with my Dell with Windows XP? Is this a problem XP because Windows 7 has worked perfectly, but Windows XP would only scan.

    Subsequently, I deleted all initially loaded B201a software. At the printer detects the network, then reloaded the software from the CD. The printer then worked fine. What a relief. Perhaps the problem I had previously was linked to my trying to use the USB port when the printer originally did not work.

  • HP Photosmart Plus (B210a) - part way freezes by printing

    Product name: HP Photosmart Plus (B210a)

    Operating system: Windows 7 (64-bit)

    I recently had experinece problems when you try to print. The printer starts printing the paper, freeze for a minute or two and then spit the sheet on incomplete. He will then proceed to print another sheet, outside, with black strips, running through it, either with a series of letters and symbols on the top. It seems very occasionally to print without any problem at all.

    To try to resolve the problem so far, I've updated the software of the printer, it seemed to have no effect, and I ran printing HP and doctor scan, but it can't seem to pick up all the problems. This is a wireless printer that is connected to a network, it was connected to and has worked previously.

    I hope someone can help because I'm getting very frustrated! Thank you in advance.

    Hi A0805_JKS92,

    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!

    I understand that the printer is not printing correctly.
    I'll be happy to help you.

    I turns off all startup programs to make sure there isn't something blocking the printer from printing. Click Start, in the search box type to perform, enter, and then type msconfig, click OK.

    Click the Services tab to select the hide all Microsoft Services check box. Click Disable all, and then click OK.

    Then click on the tab at the top of the start page. Click Disable all.
    Restart the computer.

    Disable any antivirus software.

    Try printing right now to see if that makes a difference.

    Then, return to msconfig and enable all the Microsoft Services and enable all Startup tab turn on the Antivirus software.

    I think that this will provide a solution to your problem. Thank you.

  • Photosmart HP B210a more: HP Photosmart Plus B210a shows a blue screen with error B8145558 and restart.

    For two weeks now my HP Photosmart Plus B210a was wrong to behave. Until that time, I was a happy user, but since it says there is an error in the printer and that I should turn it works again.

    Putting out voltage is actually not possible using the button, as this will trigger a reboot, ending up on the same screen as before. During the start cycle, I have a brief moment where I can access the regular menu before it shows a blue screen with the B8145558 error code. 2 seconds after it is shown, a white screen appears with the title of printer error and the message to reboot.

    So far, I have cleaned the print head and the connections of all dirt and residues. I even managed to start and finish in a copy process, before it gives me the error. However, the error will come, and then it's over.

    Someone has encountered this problem before? Currently, I find only 1 reference to this error in Google and not on this site. Any suggestions that I could try?

    Hi @kootstra,

    From your description, I suspect there is a problem with the firmware that may be irreparable. We can try a reset, but because the printer will not stay on very long main screen until the error appears that we are not able to access the menu of support, we need to reset.

    I'll send you a PM (private Message), but before I do, please see the HP Privacy Statement.

    There are a growing number of messages in this forum and elsewhere in the internet with the steps to do a reset on different printers.  Reset to will sometimes fix problems, so resetting is not the issue.

    A few resets require you to enter key combinations to open special menus on your printer that you were supposed to never access.  These special menus are used by developers and staff support for debugging of problems, but they are not intended for inexperienced users and can have unexpected results.  A wrong button push and you might no longer have a printer, but rather an expensive paper weight.  On top of that, if you happen to the 'brick' the printer in this way, it is considered as customer induced damage and voids the warranty automatically. These resets are only intended to be distributed and used as a last resort and under the direct instruction of a representative of the HP technical support. They should not be made lightly!

    My HP Photosmart C6280 stopped printing and copying. I use a Mac OS 10.10.5. The printer seems to work, but no ink is on paper with a function.

    The printer works fine until it sits awhile and goes into 'power saving mode'. Nothing it comes out that mode except unplug the power cord and back running the printer. I disabled the: power saving mode and have had no problems. Is there a fix so I can turn the: energy safe mode: back on?

    Good evening. I have some problems with the HP Photosmart Plus b210a. Precisely after printing when the printer is not detected on the network and is defined as "not available". The works remain in the queue and the printer is turned on and on again unable to work in print queue.
    The printer on the network report says "Success" for each element

    The system is composed of:

    Thank you for the help that you can give me

    OK, I will assume that the connection of the printer to the router and the router are OK for 3 other devices work correctly.

    Make sure that your OS X is healthy:

    1. download and install OS X Combo Update.
    2. download and install the printer drivers HP from Apple.

    After that, you can reset the printing system once more.

  • HP Photosmart Plus B210A black ink cartridge will not print

    I have an HP B210A Photosmart printer. Windows 8 operating system.  Recently, I replaced all ink cartridges, Black XL.

    Now the black does not print.  The printer recognizes the ink is there but not print during a test, as the other three colors.  I went back to store & exchanged the cartridge for me even if I had bought all four colors together.  Installed the new one and it still does not work.  Has gone through the process of the online help where they want me to buy an another print head, but that doesn't make sense to me.  The products are HP, ink # 564.

    I wouldn't get rid of this product because of it.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Of course, out of warranty.

    Hi PaulieG,

    I understand that you have a Photosmart B210a printer that is printing is no longer black. I'm sorry to hear you had to deal with this, but I will certainly do my best to help you with this problem.

    I recommend you all first that you have a look at this print quality paper to ensure that no steps have been omitted in this document. You can also try the steps outlined in this document 'Print head problem' or "Print head seems to be missing or corrupt" Message appears on the computer to clean your print head manually. Then, in a last effort, if these steps do not help, you can also try a suggestion from Bob_Headrick to soak your printhead.

    Hope this helps, have a nice day!
