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.

  • 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.

  • Printer cannot print black, even with new ink

    Original title: cannot print in black

    I cannot print black on my printer.  I changed printers, ink cartridges and tried printing in different programs such as Word, wordpad and Excel.  Other black print colors just not.  Can someone tell me what is the problem?

    When you installed the printer cartridge, did you remove the protective sticker on the cartridge? Sometimes people forget to remove this and install the cartridge.

    You can also run the troubleshooting of the printer.

    Of course check that the cartridge is very savvy.

    drivers provided. Check with HP support, their documentation online and
    drivers and ask in their forums.

    Good luck, you need to update or reinstall the latest driver.

  • PSC 1400v 'check ink cartridges' seeing rest even with new cartridges

    My COPS 1400v 'check ink cartridges' stays on even with new cartridges. I have Windows 7.  I followed the troubleshooting tips to clean the contact points, but not luck.  I bought a carton of off - brand, who worked for a few weeks.  This is the error message at startup.  I replaced the cartridges with the HP brand, but the error light does not turn off.  All advice is appreciated.  I know that this thing is so outdated, but that's all I have right now.  Thank you very much.

    It looks like a case of rejection of the cartridge. You can have a bad ink cartridge, or something more serious. If you have tried all the steps in the document below, then you should try to do a hard reset. If this does not work, the cartridge may be bad and need replaced. Sometimes you get a bad right cartridge against the package. If after changing the cartridge again and again all the troubleshooting steps did not receive the printer print, then you may need to replace the printer.

    Check lights print cartridge flashing:

    To do a hard reset:
    1. make sure that the printer is turned on.
    2. pull on the power cord from the printer.
    3. pull out the power cord from the wall.
    4. wait for 30 seconds.
    5. plug in the printer and turn it on.

  • Photosmart C620 don't print black... not even with new cartridge

    Have tried everything that your support page & help screens indicate:

    was originally only print up several inches of page

    now does not print any black text

    unplugged

    Diagnostics pages... shows no diagnosis, no black square, the squares of color are very sharp

    test pages are empty

    printer is not installed

    reinstalled printer

    clean the heads

    bought the new black print cartridge

    STILL NO BLACK...

    C6280 has the printhead and ink cartridges that are separated. This resembles the printhead may be bad clogged or has failed.

    I would say try "clean printhead" a few times more, if still no black not printed, the print head may have reached its endoflife.

  • HP Photosmart 3310 printer. Problem with new cartridges hp 363 original.

    I live in Italy and I bought an all-in one HP Photosmart 3310 U.S.. Once the original ink cartridges were being run-out, I bought a complete set of original HP ink cartridges that are new in Italy. Now, the printer screen displays the following message: "Printer set up to use ink cartridges 02" and do not want all works. The ink cartridge, I bought was 363 (n.6 cartridges for all 70 euros!). Please let me know if there is a way to change the configuration of the printer and allow it to work with 363 cartridges instead of 02. Thanks in advance for your answer. I'm looking to pass on your instructions. Best regards. Carlo of Urso

    Of course, I can't speak for cdurso, but for my part, HP refused to help me with the reset of the region. Some representatives of the foreign customer support told me simply repeatedly that my printer was obsolete, and that I had to buy a new one. However, I found a solution very simple to my problem. I simply pulled the chip on the ink cartridge in the region that the printer has been set to, and I stuck on my new cartridge. I think that this would negate my ink level readings, but it allows me to use the printer, which now works perfectly. I just have to ignore the "expired cartridge" message I get every time I need to activate or reset it.

  • My HP Officejet 6500 all-in-one wireless suddenly stopped to print black, even if I have a lot I have

    My HP Officejet 6500 all-in-in-one wireless suddenly stopped printing black, even if I have a lot of ink. It prints all other colors. When I try to check the ink levels it tells me that this printer is not available, try again later. I have a lot of ink. Have restarted printer and Mac Book Pro. Driver is up-to-date. Any thoughts?

    Reset the printer.  Turn the power off and then hold the # and 6 keys during and shortly after turning it on.

  • DeskJet 3520: no black print with new ink and genuine cartridge is full

    No black print with genuine new cartridge ink level shows and complete.  Many other colors are printed. This happened after I made the print heads clean and clean ink smears.

    Thanks for the reply

    Now, if you were to call to our technical support team, they should be able to implement a replacement for you for this printer model, regardless of the status of the guarantee.

    Call them and let me know how things are going for you!

  • 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

  • OfficeJet 6500 wireless has stopped printing black

    Printer stopped printing black.

    Installed new ink cartridge

    cleaned print heads

    aligned printheads

    switch machine

    CYA colors fine print

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

    Windows 7 64 bit

    almost ready to Chuck it by the window

    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.

  • 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!
