PIXMA MG5320 stopped printing black, colors are OK

Some time previously, on print quality default settngs, black would be weak or incomplete on the last lines of a page. If there are more pages, each would start fine but have poor quality down. I changed the setting from standard to high quality and the problem seemed fixed. These days the poor quality near bottom of page returned. Now the black print at all, even after a new cartridge and the head cleaning. Colors print OK. I need to replace the print head?

In fact, remove the ink tanks & placing the printhead in a flat shallow of Windex for 2-3 hours has helped produce a nozzle test print which was sharp as a cleat, black included.

  • PIXMA MG5320 stopped printing black even with new cartridge and a deep cleaning. The colors are OK.

    Some time previously, failure to print quality settings, black would go a little weak on the last few lines of a full page of text. If there are more pages, each would start very well but have the same poor quality near each bottom of page. I changed the setting of the standard high quality & the problem seemed fixed. Just course several days showed poor quality at the bottom of the pages. Today, black does not print. I did 2-3 deep cleanings with a new cartridge, but still no black. Color printing very well. I need to replace the print head?

    Hi PMHilton,

    Given that black ink is printing is no longer and to replace the ink tank and perform deep cleanings have not solved the problem, the printer may require repair.  We ask that you call please 1-866-261-9362, Monday - Friday 10:00-10: 00 ET (excluding holidays) for assistance.  A Canon technical support representative will be happy to help you.  There is no charge for this call.

    Printer stopped printing black.

    the printer is out of warranty - about 1 1/2 years.

    Thanks for the info.

    I tried the thing to wash and dry a couple of times.

    He has not worked for me.

    I had already ordered a new Printhead and installed yesterday.  But it didn't work after aligning the print head process either.

    I have tried resetting by unplugging the printer and hold the # and 3 buttons on the keyboard.  He rolled and then he started printing in black ink.  Yay!

    I don't know if the old print head would have worked if I had tried the # and 3 button Reset the process, but I'll keep the old one just in case where (after I wash again).

    Just happy to have a machine working again.  Testing time to go buy more ink after you run most of the color cartridges down with reset and alignment.

  • LaserJet 2840: LaserJet 2840 Stopped printing in color

    My 2840 has just stopped printing in color only in black and white.  It comes from working well for over a year.  Help!

    If you print a page of status or the demo of supplies in the menu of the printer, it prints in color. If so, you should check the print driver or to reload the driver.

  • Windows 8 - officejet 6000 - just stopped printing black-

    Windows 8 - officejet 6000 - just stopped printing black-

    put a new black cartridge in and now it will not print black - going to test the page and color printing - can hardly see black text on the test page - gray value - has always been - no other changes have had recourse to the same printer for a little over a year.  Only clean the print heads still no black printing.

    Hi rea123,

    I understand that you have an Officejet 6000, which is currently not print black ink. I'm sorry to hear what is happening, but I will do my best to help you.

    I suggest that you first look through this document for Troubleshooting print quality problems because it may be a few steps that you have not yet tried.  This document 'Print head problem' or "Print head seems to be missing or corrupt" Message appears on the computer has also a few steps to know how to clean the print head manually.

    If all else fails, take a look at the Bob_Headrick station for soaking your printhead.

    Hope this helps, have a nice day!

  • Photosmart C309 abruptly stopped, printing black ink (any solution?)

    My HP Photosmart Premium C309 suddenly stopped printing black.

    Everyone recognizes this problem and has a solution?

    I tried to unplug the power plug, power switch, cleaning of the printheads several times (manually), cartridge to give a little air, checked the connections, replacement of cartridge again. Nothing helps.

    Browse the internet: it seems that this problem occurs with the most HP printers.

    See for example: some forum someone temporarily solves the problem by performing cleaning operations for (more than) 7 times, which cost five new cartridges to replace, and after a month or if the problem recurs.

    I wouldn't do this because I don't want to empty an another XL cartridge and then discover the problem recurs.

    The printer (bought in April 2010) is connected through the USB port on a Mac Pro 8Core with OS - X 10.6 (I always use only paper HP and HP original cartridges)

    Thanks for your help in advance.

    Y.S.,

    This "Absolutely" worked for my c309! He started printing gray yesterday, then I finally got the blank pages. My first thought was that HP has screwed me again! lol but I tried the post above... I have unplugged the printer for more than 25 seconds, held down the 3 and # buttons simultaneously for another 25 dry more plugged in printer and now the buttons down then made for another 25 sec.  Had to reset the lang. and the country, but after a few minutes he printed a perfect test page and I was able to print all my docs now!  It was a solution easy vs on the removal of the water and heads/cartridge, etc.  I would try this first and if it doesn't work, then you can try other patches. Thank you!!!  Good luck!

    You have this problem too, black wouldn't pring but would be printed dark gray?

    What I did and it worked has been reset to the factory settings, unpluging the printer during ± 25 seconds

    3 and # for and other 25 seconds went and after pitting power back on

    then re-registering your setting, all wet very well

  • Photosmart 5510 has suddenly stopped printing black

    I have a Photosmart 5510 new, which was working fine, then suddenly stopped printing black.  Replace the cartridge and still nothing.  Prints fine colour, but not black.  No error message, just jumps print anything in black.  Excluded bone by the attempt at analysis and still nothing.

    Yay! I'm happy now. I did the thing to chat online with technical support and that's what I got: on the front screen of the printer, press the arrow to the right, and you should see an icon "Setup." Press on that. Then press tools, then scroll down to "Clean print head." Press the key. When it's done it spits out a test page and voila! It now prints. I hope that this works for some of you all!

  • my hp officejet 6700 stopped printing in color. the levels of gray is OFF. Help.

    I have HP Officejet all-in-one Premium 6700, use Windows 7 64-bit; no error message; just will not print in color. Use a black non Hp cartridge, which ceased all impressions; bought the new black 932XL cartridge; now the printer prints, but only in color B & W, other cartridges are HP and will not empty (1/2 full). Advanced grayscale setting is DISABLED. Still will not print in color. All the test pages are B & W. diagnosis & questions do not address this problem.

  • Photosmart 6520: 6520 Photosmart printer stopped printing black after changing the print cartridge

    There was a similar position two years ago. After changing the cartiridge (564XL) black printing, the printer will not copy documents. He behaves as if I placed a blank sheet of paper on the glass. I can scan the document and print the .jpeg, but not the document. The print quality of everything else is mediocre - very light on blacks, even though the colors are fine. I ran through all the diagnostic tests and he told me that the printer is fine, although the black box on the diagnostic page is empty. The difference between my printer and the one in the previous post, it's mine is 18 months and longer warranty. It has been little used. In the previous post, none of the solutions have been proposed, but apparently HP has replaced the printer. Any suggestions, or is this device intended for scrap?

  • Print black color with a color of the image page

    If I set up my printer to print in color, it prints black parts with cartridege or black color combination?

    Hi reneincer,

    I understand that you would like to know if the printer uses black ink if you set up to print with the color cartridges.

    There are different to choose print settings.

    High quality grayscale will use less cyan, megenta and yellow (CMY) that say normal printing mode, but will not be a drastic reduction. However, the only feature of black ink slightly reduced the use of the CMJ. This setting produces a composite black.

    The feature of black ink only will limit the use of color for the amount that passes under the black ink to ensure an impression for a long time and the true-black tone that should.

    More economical printing would quickly the project and black ink only.  Grayscale setting uses the color cartridge to print in grayscale, because it offers better quality.  The quality is better with shades of gray, but it uses more ink.

    You will find information in the following article. Use of inkjet printers ink.

    Here is a document on the color management settings.

    I hope it's useful.
