• Want 4520: want printing 4520 red instead of black

  Recently, my 4520 began to print red only when I want to print in black. I get around this by removing the color cartridge. However, it is not a good solution. As part of the copy of the screen, I select 'Black Start' when you make a copy. This does not resolve the situation.

  Hi @nwnittany49and welcome to the Forums of HP!

  I'd love to help you with your urge for 4520. According to your description, I understand that the printer will not print black when you have both cartridges installed, and instead, it prints red. Please use the following document to solve the problem and I would like to know the results of your efforts: HP printers - color or black ink not print.

• PSC 1315xi All in one print in color instead of black on windows 7 and 8

  In our House, we have three computers: two laptops, one running windows 7 and one running windows 8 and one desktop running windows xp.

  On our office it prints fine, but on two laptops when trying to print black text Print instead in a grayish blue color. I am trying to print in color works on all computers. Or ink cartridges are empty.

  As he works on the desktop, I guess it's a driver issue, but I can't find a solution.

  Hello

  What ink cartridges you actually have in the right slot of the printer, a black cartridge 56/27 or a 58 Photo ink cartridge?

  The supplied sample occurs even if you have a Photo cartridge in the printer...

  With the help of a cartridge Photo is not intended for printing the text in black, but for printing Photos and will not have a gray color effect...

• Printer print in grey instead of black

  My HP Officejet Pro K5400 suddenly started printing in grayscale.  Thought that I needed to change the black cartridge but it does feel not empty then I tried to clean it up.  No difference in print quality.  Put in a new black cartridge - still no change in the print quality.  Help!  I have a windows 7 premium home 64 bit OS on my Samsung laptop that was purchased just earlier this year.

  There are a few different things to try to get the printer printing black again. First run through the cleaning steps in the document below. If this does not work, proceed to make a physical cleaning of the print head stated in the Bob_Headrick post below. If none of those who do not work, you must either replace the printhead, or the printer. To get a replacement printhead, you will need to contact HP. I'll link the information to get in touch with them below. The link takes you to a form to fill out. Once you fill it and she is treated, it will give you the printers warranty information, a file number and the phone number to call.

• Re: Printer suddenly printing in purple or pink, not black and white or color

  I have the same problem. I use a HP Deskjet 1000 (J110 series) number and product CH340A using Windows 7 on a HP Pavilion dv6 laptop.

  When you use The HP Wizard to view the ink levels, it shows the color cartridge with about 20% left and black, 40%. I've done a 'clean cartridge' and then I printed a 'Diagnostic information' sheet. This fact sheet includes, among other things, a test print colors black, yellow, Cyan and Magenta, all who seem to be very good for me. I got a warning message now then that says I'm low on ink and should consider replacing the cartridge if see the shortcomings of the color.

  So, if I'm apparently low ink:

  • Why the diagnosis show 20% and 40% still available?
  • Installed cartridges are original and XL versions and I don't have too many draws, so it shouldn't be there is still a lot of prints to go?
  • When I print the test on plain paper pages, colors are fine, but when you print on blacks of Advanced Photo paper HP out purplish. (I printed herein before photo with no problems)
  • If I need to replace the cartridges, what with 20% left or one black color with 40% left (to be noted that I print in purple instead of black)

  I could assume that replacement cartridges would solve the problem, but I think I would be throwing money in the trash that further much ink in the cartridges and ink. Other solutions or suggestions?

  Thanks in advance.

  The black cartridge is not used when printing on photo paper as the black pigmented ink is not compatible with photo paper.  If black is printing purple on photo paper, it would be an indication that the yolk runs out.

  I suggest you replace the color cartridge.  The ink level gauge is an estimate, and if you got the first low ink warning on it would be an indication that the cartridge may be empty.

• Prints blue instead of black

  I have a HP Photosmart B210, more.  My black text (and pictures) print light blue instead of black.  I replaced the cartridge twice and I always feel the same question.  I cleaned the print heads several times.

  just to repeat the solution.  Choose Printer Preferences and fast/economical printing.  Also in the grayscale option choose black ink only.

  You could ask the support of Epson for a definitive answer, but I saw a suggestion that this behavior can be caused by a blocked ink purge tube.  See the next page.  And this page for the cleaning solution.

• HP Officejet 6000 Print gray instead of black

  Hello

  My HP Officejet 6000 works well for about a year until today, where he began to print light gray instead of black.

  My officejet is attached via USB directly to my PC, I'm under Ubuntu 12.04 with gnome shell. Used to work out of the area to print. I just install HPLIP Toolbox to see if I can fix anything, but that was no help. I exchanged the inktank black for a new, but that did not help either one. The gray looks perfect gray and not a faded defective, black dryness. I tried to change the output of color mode in the settings of the printer to the only black than gray, and the printer does not print the necessary ink at all. Is this a software problem? Or printer hardware problem? I tried printing from my laptop and had the same problem.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Problem solved. I got my printer to my friend who has a Windows PC and a test print looked fine. I thought it must be a Linux question then. I have connected my printer to my PC Ubuntu again, and for the hell of it, I tried to print a test page and go figure, it worked. Maybe unplug the printer helped solve the problem? BTW, when I meet my problem, the printer was not actually printing gray instead of black by mixing the inktanks color. I discovered that she did not use the black tank at all. I'm glad that everything works again without having to really fix anything. So if anyone else has this problem, try disconnecting the printer, and then try again. That could be the solution. Turn off the PC one on or the printer doesn't help.

• Cannot print from Microsoft Office Home and Student 2010 military appreciation Edition on my HP Deskjet 3845.

  I have a new HP laptop and you tried to print with my HP Deskjet 3845. The only time it will print is when I troubleshoot or print my tax form. I have the pack family of software Office home and student 2010 Microsoft in the edition of military reconnaissance, but I got to the origin of Microsoft XP. They are not compatible? I'm just a user, and technical jargon goes over my head. I already go to solve problems and have not been able to solve my problem.

• DeskJet 3845 prints blank pages

  I got the Deskjet 3845 printer for 6 years and I have not used for 1.5 years. I tried to get going again and every time I try to print, it prints blank pages. I just bought a new black ink cartridge and I removed the light orange Ribbon. I have Windows 8 and it's an old printer, so I don't know if it's a compatibility issue. I used printing HP and doctor scan and it said my printer was ok. However, when I printed a test page, it was empty. I'm totally stumped and I appreciate any help!

  All the best,

  Kyle

  I'm sorry you have a problem with the printing of blank pages. It seems you have the problem of material with the cartridges or the printhead. More he to sit upwards and not in use, the cartridges and printheads can dry out.

  Here is a link that can help you with this problem.

• "Printer: door open" error on HP Deskjet 3845

  The green light on my HP Deskjet 3845 printer continues to blink.  Whenever I try to print something, even a test page, the error message says "printer: open door."  However, I checked several times and there is no open door!

  I am on Windows 7 (64-bit) and I'm on with a jetpack from verizon wireless.

  I'd appreciate any help!

  Thank you!

  Generally when this starts to happen, it is because the door sensor went out. There is only a reset you can do to try and clear the error and it is a hard reset. I will include the instructions below. If this does not work, you will need to replace the printer.

  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.

• HP Deskjet D2460: Printer SOMETIMES prints wrong colors. New black cartridge prints SOMETIMES?

  The transition to Windows 10, I had problems with the printed colors.  Recently, I installed 2 new black cartridges and with each had the problem that it does not correctly print black.

  I did a test clean cartridge HP page and it was perfect. Next an Excel sheet printing showed only a few black and the other showed no black at all. (Note that the blue parts are out more purple than blue).

  Any help gratefully received.

  The test is probably print a black event, mixing colors to print a black like appearance. I left I have the link below for more in-depth information.

• Photosmart C5380: My Photosmart C5380 printer Green instead of black

  Occationally my printer prints green instead of black.

  Sometimes it's at the beginning of a document, and sometimes it's in the middle of a document.

  I tried to change the cartridge, but have the same result.

  Best regards

  Hi @tobby37 ,

  I want to help you with this issue, black is sometimes printing in green. You have changed the cartridge and having the same results.

  I would like to do a hard reset to see if that will solve the problem.
  Let the printer and disconnect the printer cable and the wall socket for 60 seconds.
  Reconnect the power cable to the output of the printer and the wall, and not a surge protector.
  This ensures that the printer is full on and can help this situation.

  Try the following steps to see if it will solve the problem.

  Message "Ink cartridge problem" on the printer.

  Please do not take into account the title.

  You use genuine HP cartridges?
  What are the ink levels?

  Please let me know if you need additional assistance.

  Have a fantastic day!
  Thank you.
