• HP Officejet pro 8600 more: Page print black Pro with a few lines of Pentecost

  When I copy or scan by giving instructions to the printer, the pages are mainly black with some vertical stripes. If I scan the computer, using scanning and faxing of Windows I get a perfect scan.

  It is possible that these scans are using different wifi networks (my regular and direct network to the network printer); I don't know how to understand it! But it would not affect reproduction.

  Printing is fine.

• 5740 HP Officejet printer: HP Officejet 5740 prints all lines of poor quality of black ink, a few lines thru

  New printer, getting the veins through every few lines of print black ink

  Hi @Badgermitt,

  Thanks for joining the Forums of HP Support for a solution to your printing problem.

  I understand that you use a HP Officejet 5740 e-all-in-one printer with a PC of Windows 8 and the printed text has black steaks through every few lines. I would like to help with that.

  Black lines through the text is usually due to present an accumulation of debris around of the cartridge that can usually be solved by cleaning cartridges or ink. This can be done in the control panel of the printer.

  Cleaning of the cartridges is discussed in this support material designed to be used with this problem - solve print quality problems.

  Please let me know if that solves the problem, or if you need assistance.

  In fact, if it helps you to find a solution, please click on the 'accept as Solution' and the 'thumbs up' buttons down below in this message.

• Brother HL 3040CN printer problem - will print in black only

  Brother HL-3040CN printer. Bought new March 2010. 3 spare new brother replaced October 2010 color cartridges. Two/three weeks ago printer stopped printing in color. Reading on printer says 3 color cartridges are empty. Print in black only. Have you contacted Brother Rep., they conducted diagnostic tests via the telephone line and came up with the same conclusion, 3 color cartridges are empty. The printer is to use domestic only, printing envelopes, letters and Internet articles. I do not believe 3 color cartridges have been used in such a short time. Thank you.

  Hello

  The amount of ink consumed depends on the content you are printing. If the color content is high on a few pages then it is possible for the cartridge is empty.

• Color text printed in black only

  Dear all,

  I have a printer - HP Officejet 6000 E609a series, which has been working well for a few days.

  When I try to print the color of text, the text is printed in black. Lines, shapes, images to print in good color but not the text. However, if I convert the text in a bitmap (Corel Draw), the text is printed in color.

  It does not matter which program I print text (MS Word or Corel Draw) it still gets printed in black.

  My computer is a Windows 7, 64-bit.

  Advice me please on what I need to do to fix this.

  Thanking you in advance.

  Best regards
  Josef

• HP 7500 has: has HP 7500 or HP C309g can print in black

  My HP 7500 has no my HP C309g can print in black. The 7500 had the same problem before, so I went to my other printer for a month and he got mysteriously? Now, will not print in black. Yes, genuine inks, cleaning head complete and I tried, but the chances of the two get a dirty print head at the same time is microscopic.

  Hi @kanshaku

  I want to help you be able to use two printers again. I understand that the black ink is not working. Please start with the procedure described in the following document; The problems of print quality for the HP Officejet 7500 (E910a and E910c) to Grand Format Printer e-all-in-one series.  This document applies to these two printers because they have such similar ink systems.

  If you have performed all the steps in the document above and the problem persists, not one of HPs, my personal recommendation is to use the solution put forward in the next video.  I suggest that if the printhead and the printer he are out of warranty.  Hot water rinse printhead - HP ink printers of the series with removable head.

  I have recommended this solution to others and have been successful, but I can't guarantee that this will solve the problem, it is a term of type line of effort. I hope it helps.

• Cannot print in black C6180

  My C6180 printer all-in-one just stopped printing in black. I changed the cartridge of the printer 3 times and it made no difference? It prints in color but not black. I cleaned the cartridges and that did not help. I noticed on some other forums that other people have the same problem without finding a resolution.  Anyone got any suggestions?

  Well, I might have some hope. Actually, we have found a solution to this problem and our printer now works as usual. I'll try to explain what we were doing, so I hope it helps someone else. I must say that I was chatting online with a HP technician at least an hour and it never recommended this solution, and we found it on their help page. Maybe he did know about this!

  First, you will need to access the Toolbox of printer on your computer. Go to start-programs-HP-HP Solution Center.

  Select settings

  In the drop-down list, select the printer settings

  Select printer Toolbox

  In respect of peripheral Services, select the option for clean print heads

  It's a clean deeper than what is being done to the printer itself. We ran this about 5 times, and at the end of this it was printing black again. It was a few months ago and we have not had a problem since.

  I hope it helps someone else. HP did not of course help us!

• Photosmart C410a fails to print in black

  C410a stopped printing in black. No error message appeared. Supplies indicator revealed a level a bit low for the black ink, but not empty. At through print and tests the cleaning head which showed samples of light colour, but not black. Replaced by cartridge 564XL new, totally black, but printer failure continued in black. Printhead repeated to clean without success. Repeated remove a cartridge and reintegration to ensure a correct fit.

  Ciara_B, thanks for the post of care. Yes, I tried the suggestion of Bob. It was quite an adventure! As expected, considerable ink washed the frame. In the end, no joy. After a few glass smoking and strong, I abandoned all hope for the weekend. During the following Tuesday I took a blow when printing, and miraculously, black printing worked OK.

  At this point, I'm puzzled as to how or what could have affected the cure, after changing the black ink twice before the procedure of "soaking". Given the lack of effect on revenues HP, I'me reluctant to consider this as a plot by the company to sell more cartridges. However, I am open to suggestions.

  Thank you once again.

• HP Color LaserJet 2605dn: 2605 HP prints in black

  After changing a blue and yellow cartridge, printer flashing but not print and not of documents in the print queue. NVRAM and Super NVRAM but still wouldn't print.  Configuration of network in the menu report (I'm not on a network, just a USB port on my computer) and supplies Status Page printed fine.  Tried rebooting, uninstalling and reinstalling anything does not. After trying to reports menu print a text page simple and solid black on 90% of the page was printed, no text.  After a few minutes, printer would print a blank page with only the following on this subject: GET /DevMgmt/DiscoveryTree.xml HTTP/1.1 Host: 127.0.0.1:8080.

  I looked at the pdf page to reset but return of my printer does not match the pdf page and I could not find any hole or test switch.

  It was working fine!  Until I changed two cartridges and the black cartridge is still 3/4 full.  I read on other posts on scanners goes wrong, but this seems very strange to happen suddenly after just changing the cartridge.  Can anyone suggest something before you buy a new printer.  Thank you.

  Update on the problem - the cause is not identified and I can assume only it had something to do with the Windows operating system rather than a fatal accident of mechanics in the printer.

  I was out of town for a week, the printer was not hooked; and I bought another printer HP in the meantime to be able to print (LaserJet Pro 400 which I am extremely satisfied).  HP support person called me on my cell phone while I was traveling and I asked that he call me when I'll be back and he said it would be and gave me a date and a time so I'd be available.  In anticipation of his call, when I got home, I connected the printer to my Win 7 Home laptop (64 bit) to test and it printed without fail!  No sign of the original problem.

  So what - the?  Some driver in Windows suddenly Act?  Who knows.  But the printer print documents and photos with no sign of problem.  So maybe a solution to some printer problems is unplug the printer, don't use it for a few days, plug it again and see if the problem recurrs.

  In the meantime, I am so happy with the b & w LaserJet Pro 400 that it became my main printer and I'm reserving the color HP 2605 for instances when I need color.

  Consider my problem solved unless I am writing again she reappears!

• Photosmart HP 5510 - will not print using black ink

  I have problems with my HP Photosmart 5510 all-in-One printer, because it will not print in black. All cartridges are brand new and are genuine HP cartridges. I've never used anything other than HP cartridges, and I believe that I have would be considered a very light printer user.

  I use a HP Pavilion Desktop PC (Vista Home Premium) connected to the printer via a USB cable.

  I have to 'reset' the printer (power cable removed for 20 seconds), I cleaned the print heads and tried to re-alignment of the printer.

  I ran HP print and Scan diagnostics and do the message "Everything out OK with your product." I then print a test page which "fails", that there is no black ink in use. The diagnosis confirms that the ink levels are all OK and that my printer uses HP authentic and than Normal inks or better quality is selected.

  The printer is a little over a year old and as mentioned has had very light use.

  There is no error - every reason to believe that everything is OK.

  I wish I had a solution to this problem.

  As by chance my previous printer a HP Photosmart 3210 all-in-One failed in a similar way, although in this case, the black was fine, it was impossible to print colors correctly. Once the printer was just out of warranty.

  Curiously enough and fortunately like few others on the forum a few days after the installation of the new cartridge, it seems to work perfectly fine again.  any ideas as to why this happens?

• HP Officejet 6500 will not print in black

  I noticed that my black ink started streak so I replaced the black cartridge, cleaned the print heads and completed an alignment page.  All colors have shown up on the test, except black pages, and black characters who present themselves were incomplete and striated.  I tried to print in black and white, and the pages shoot out of the empty printer.  I've exhausted all failures on HP and had no luck.  Any ideas on what I can try?

  There are 5 different versions of the Officejet 6500. I went with a basic (E710a) model to provide a quality troubleshooting bad print document. This link will give you some troubleshooting steps to try to solve the problem that it lists some you mentioned it but there are only listed steps that were not included in the above post.

  If still the problem, I'd do a manual cleaning the contacts on the print head and on the cartridges to ensure this build up is not a problem. Pages 117-121 of the user manual to describe the process of print head cleaning. Page 234 in the manual gives instructions to clean the contacts on the cartridges too. I hope this helps

• HP Photosmart B109n: printing in black all of a sudden is not possible on my HP Photosmart B109n

  Recently, I changed the black ink cartridge (about a week) and used my printer that worked flawlessly. Then suddenly, Sunday I was printing a letter; a page came out perfectly, but then, nothing has worked.  I tried to clean the heads printer, all diagnostic tests, went on online forums and the HP support in order to find a solution.  Nothing has worked.

  Lines not yet stained or whatever it is at all appeared on the sheet of paper.  However, when printing tests were made, the colors look brilliant and rich, black appeared only gray. I tried also to clean the tank.

  I live in Bangalore, India as an expatriate and have to buy my ink cartridges on my travels in Germany where I bought my printer about 5 years ago.  As I said, it worked perfectly and then not at all.

  I would be very grateful for any help.

  Thank you

  Hi @Lapointe,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I understand that you are not able to print in black ink on your HP Photosmart B109n. I want to assure you that you have not missed the steps of troubleshooting here: the problems of quality Print to the HP Photosmart B109

  If you finish all the steps in the document above and the problem persists, not one of HPs, my personal recommendation is to use the solution put forward in the next video.  I suggest you only do this if the printer is out of warranty; How to fix an HP, not for printing black ink and lack of color printer

  Because your printer has a removable print head, you can try the method above for your B109n.

  If you always use problems after the diagnosis was made, I suggest to contact our technical support at the 800-474-6836. If you do not live in the United States / Canada region, please click the link below to get help from your region number.

• OfficeJet 660: My printer does not print in black only

  I want to print in black and white, but my printer does not print because my yellow ink is empty.  I tried to change the color to black and white, but it still won't print. Seems ridiculous that all would have to have something in it just to print in black and white.

  You have an Officejet 6600?  This printer has a print head permanent and separate ink supplies.  Little ink is required in all colors to print, even if you print in black only and only one of the colors came out.  (When printing in black color print head is always waving around in the air.  There are few available ink to prevent the nozzles from drying out and butcher them.)

  See here for more information on how the ink is used.  In the terminology of this document, the Officejet 6600 is an IIC printer.

  Sorry, you need to replace the ink color depleted.
