printing ink is not evenly

I have a Hewlett Packard J6400 printer/copier/fax machine that has worked for a collpe of years now.  I just put a new ink cartridge #74 black, same as usual, and the alignment page came out fine.  But the pages I now print a few lines that are low, mixed with clear black print lines.  Any ideas?

PS I am unaware how to work these community boards, by the way.

Thank you so much, Daniel.  I really enjoy taking the time to help me. (Hopefully, I clicked the star correctly.  I don't know if I should click on the part of star or the blue part around the star).

All the best,

Eileen

    Hello, IndranilDattagupta,

    Do you receive messages when this happens?

    What version of Windows are you using?

    It is possible if you have not used the printer cartridges can be dried.  Clean the printer and cartridges.

    Problems to connect a printer to my lap top using a wi - fi connection and get a message saying "print spooler not working do not ', even though troubleshooting it says it is fixed, any ideas please?

    Original title: install a printer

    I see an error message about "spooler" problems

    A print spooler is software that temporarily stores the disk printing hard or in memory until the printer is ready to print.

    If you were expecting an abnormally long time to print a document, or if you see an error message about the print spooler, you may have to restart the spooler to print on your computer.

    To restart the spooler, the simplest method is to save your work and restart the computer. Alternatively, you can try the following steps:

    To restart the print spooler service

    1. You must be logged on as administrator to perform these steps.

    2. Click Start, type: services , then press on enter on your keyboard

    3. Double-click Services.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    4. Right click on the print spooler service, and then click Properties.

    5. On the general tab, next to startup type, make sure that automatic is selected.

    6. If the service is not already running, under Service status, click Start and then click OK.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  • printer ink does not ink. Everything else is OK. Ink levels OK

    Ink is full (recently purchased), but won't print black ink. Colors seem excessive printing.  Does not copy nor print.

    It worked perfectly since buying a year ago.

    Hello

    If there was some time since the last ink printing can be dried.

    Have you tried to replace the ink cartridge?

    It's probably just a matter of cartridge, otherwise it is a hardware problem and should be taken in charge by the manufacturer.

    Kind regards

  • Monitor all-in-one Epson Stylus CX3900 printer ink does not work with win 7

    Generally, functions such as ink levels work only on the host with the full support of the package installed and is not available for all computers that are connected to the host of the printer.

  • OfficeJet Pro 6830: color ink is not printing

    We just received our 6830 Officejet Pro a few months ago and feel sometimes but not often. Yesterday when I tried to print, printed only black things on the page. None of the colorful text printed at all - not even in a different color or a shade - so it appears none of the color ink cartridges has been used. The printer indicates that all four cartridges are about 50% full.

    Things that I've checked or tried:

    The computer has the choice of the color selected.

    Color copy gives the same result - no color.

    I checked the vents and they don't seem to be blocked. I stuffed them with a needle just to be safe.

    I hit the bottom of the cartridges where the ink comes out and ink on my fingers. They are not dry.

    I'd clean the print heads.

    I tried putting the printer off, and then restarting the computer.

    The "test page" and the "print quality diagnostics page" do not print with any color either.

    The printer indicates that it not there no new updates.

    Color printing perfectly fine a few weeks ago, no sign cartridges drying up. It is under warranty, but it's our third of these printers and really, I prefer not to be yet another replacement if it is possible to solve this problem! (The first two were a high pitched noise all the time while it is plugged). Thanks in advance for advice.

    After the execution of the cycle 'cleaning print head' repeatedly, the color ink is now working!

  • HP6520 ALL IN ONE PRINTER: BLACK INK WILL NOT PRINT

    I TRIED ALL THE PROPOSED SOLUTIONS.  NO WORK FOR ME.  I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO RUN THE CLEAN CARTRIDGE HEADS.  SAME RESULT (WASTED A LOT OF VERY EXPENSIVE INK IN THE PROCESS).  ANOTHER USER HAS SUGGESTED TO USE SOLVENT TO CLEAN A CLOGGED INKJET PORT.  I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE REPRESENTATIVE HP APPROVED THAT.  THE PAGE OF DIAGNOSIS THAT PRINTS AFTER HAVING CARRIED OUT THE SYSTEMATIC CLEANING HEAD PRINT BLACK TEXT, BUT THE BOX FOR BLACK PRINTING IS TOTALLY WHITE.  IS THERE ANOTHER SOLUTION TO TRY?  Help!

    The printhead on the HP Photosmart 6520 is not designed to be removable by the user.  While you can find messages with information on the withdrawal of the printhead for soaking, it's really not recommended.  If you decide to do this don't forget to read the entire thread, these discussions often end with a printer damaged due to damage or damage to the encoder system, electrical connectors which can make the printer unusable.

    You may have already taken the steps of troubleshooting in the paper here, if not go through each of them in order.  Check the vents on the black print cartridge and that it sits correctly.

    If the above does not solve the problem you could try manually to clean the printhead, as described in the post here for a different but similar printer.

    Note that the printer uses a mixture of color and black inks to print a diagnostic page.  This is so that the information can be read even if black or one or more colors do not work.  Although it may seem from this page your black works that is unfortunately not.  You can simulate this by selecting "Photo paper", as the media type in the driver, it would force the printer to use the same color ink to print black text.

  • HP Officejet 6500 ink cartridge 920, Vista - alignment failed, black ink does not print

    I went through the diagnostic process because my printer gives me a view of alignment failed and my black ink will not print.   It is established that I need to replace the print head.  Is it complicated?  What should I do when I need the printer/fax every day?  I have no time for that computer to be down for a day, and even less for as long as it takes to get the part here and replace it myself.  Or worse, if I send to HP to have the work done.

    Replacement of the print head is not complicated, it can be done in 5 minutes.  Before doing this, you could be sure that the ventilation openings are not connected and you might try to soak the printhead as shown here.

  • me not saying the printer ink levels

    How can I get the computer to let me know the printer ink levels?

    Technical issues do not belong in the forum comments so I moved your post to the windows 'Hardware and drivers' forum.  Always include your version of Windows when you post.

    Monitoring ink levels is a function of the printer driver.  Contact the manufacturer of the printer for a solution.

    If you facing problems with the ink level, you could get in touch with the manufacturer of the printer to get the replaced cartridge or for further assistance on this issue.
