Problem with black ink cartridge HP Deskjet 3520

I just replaced a (almost) empty black ink cartridge in my HP Deskjet 3520 printer, and now I get no word on paper. The printer prints photos of a text, but not the text. The test page only gives light gray instead of black values.

I put the cartridge almost empty return, but the results were the same: not a single word of the text has been printed.

Can you help me with this one?

Thanks for the reply. I cleaned up the area where the open cartridge area (square round where the ink comes out) ink and leaves the cartridge references in printer from one day to the next. By making these 2 steps, it started fine printing and quality is really good like the other. Thank you!!!

  • HP6520 - problem with black ink - no black ink on paper

    I have a 6520 All in One – this week the printer decided to stop printing in black ink - cartridges were installed a few weeks ago and level is higher than 50%

    What procedure I tried, the printer does not print with black more - also not a bit - paper stays white where black ink should be!

    Of course the printer is out of warranty (02-2012), but as I see it, this problem happens a lot on this type of printer - so there is certainly something wrong

    Please HP, it may be that I have to replace my printer after 2 years because he is not black print more or I have to pay more money to fix when I have to pay for a new printer.

    Awaiting your response

  • Problem with black ink

    Hello there, I have a HP C6380 printer. I ran out of black ink small 564. I have a larger 564 black ink there how can I get the printer to use the largest cartiage of ink instead of replace ink 564 more small.

    Thank you

    Scott

    @yellowlabscott, Yes, you can use the cartridge of 564 more GRAND. It should be inserted directly into the slot and read it.

    Are you have problems with the larger cartridge is not suitable?

    New XL cartridges are made more small these days, but they are still considered as the largest and more ink. So it still needs work.

    @alexisgb, you may need to clean the black cartridge. Try to clean the print head and check the results.

    You also have the Photosmart C6380?

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 has problem with black ink printing

    I have an Officejet Pro 8500 a printer. When I print documents, it will not print anything in black ink. The colors work very well, but just black will not print. The printer says that the black ink cartridge has plenty of ink, and when I shake it, I can say that there is something in there. So, I don't think it's a question of black ink out. Is there a chance that something is blocking the ink out? Any patches for this in addition to the purchase of a new ink cartridge?

    Document here can help solve the black is not printing on your HP Officejet Pro 8500 has.

  • Photosmart plus 209: problem with compatible ink cartridge after moving to France UNITED Arab Emirates

    I have a Photosmart B209 more and you just moved from the Arab Emirates UNITED to the France. In the style of France the 178 HP, designed for that printer ink cartridge is not available, and it seems that the cartridge HP 364 in France is the same size and adapts to the machine but wil lnot work. I get a message on the printer saying incompatible cartridge. I saw a post about this problem with instructions to contact HP and get a kind of rearmament of the country. I wasn't able to do that. Can someone help with this problem?

    You will need to Contact HP to ask a "regionalization Reset." Do not charge for this, it is covered under the warranty of the cartridge. You will need to have access to your computer and printer then on line with HP. You will also need to have a set of cartridges for the new region, once completed reset cartridges of region of origin no longer works.  Webpage of HP on the subject is here.

  • Printing on Photo paper with black ink cartridge - J6480 - grayscale does not work

    With:, Mac OS 10.6.6 more latest software HP Print/Scan/utilities:

    The color radio button to use the black cartridge is grayed out if you choose to print in grayscale. If the color cartridge is empty, you cannot print in grayscale on photo paper. It allows you to print in grayscale on plain paper.

    In other words, that it is making me use the color cartridge for printing in grayscale on photo paper. It doesn't look good for me.

    Well Yes, that's right.  The ink in the black cartridge is an ink pigment (about particles of carbon suspended in the solution) and cannot be absorbed by the photo paper.  The ink in the color cartridge is dye based (like dye food) and is absorbed by the coating on photo paper.  That is why all the printing with black cartridge is denied when using photo paper.

    Pigmented ink is used in the black cartridge to produce the beautiful crisp text on plain paper.  There are HP printers with cartridges 'Photo Black' which are ink to dye black which can be used on photo paper.  These printers also have a black text in another cartridge which is a pigmented ink.

  • DeskJet 5550 does not print after I installed new black ink cartridge.

    I recently got a new Dell with Windows Vista 64 - bit OS.  Printer was working fine until I replaced the black ink cartridge.  Print the control page as usual after you install the cartridge, it will not print anything else now.  Not even a test page.  I tried taking the cartridge out and put it back in.  Tried to pull the plug on the back of the printer and plug it back.  Tried turning the printer off and on again.  Also tried to restart the computer.  I downloaded the HP Print Diagnostic report and could not find any problems.  Could there be a problem with the ink cartridge itself?

    Well first of all, I went and bought a different black ink cartridge to remove the cartridge in the problem.  This was not it.  Then I unplugged the printer and cleaned thoroughly and connected plug.  Still did not work.  Then I went into the properties on my printer and started to play with the settings.  FINALLY I FIXED IT!  I clicked on the tab advanced and then click Print Processor.  I then changed to WinPrint and retried the Test Page printing under the general tab and it worked!  Woo Hoo!

  • HP Photosmart C309a does not print after I installed new black ink cartridge.

    Printer was working fine until I replaced the black ink cartridge.
    Does not print the text in black on the printer test page.
    The States new HP printer installed cartridge.
    All other colors are working well and were replaced at the same time.
    Tried cleaning cartridges - pulling the cartridge and put back in - turning the printer off and on again.
    Also tried to restart the computer.
    Could there be a problem with the ink cartridge itself?

    REAL SOLUTION. I had the same experience, spent hours pulling my hair like children had project do to school and it was 22:00.  Your cart is clogged! Here IS THE SOLUTION! (: 1) remove all ink cartridges. (2) extract the carriage that circulate in the ink cartridges by lever on the right and the trolley lifting vertically. (3) wipe any accumulation of visible ink on the outside with clean cloth or paper towel. (4) THIS IS THE KEY: keep transport under hot running water to empty all the handwritten entries in the irrigation channels that distribute ink. Keep rinsing in clear water i.e. no sign of ink. (5) trolley dry with clean cloth and blowing in areas, you can access in order to remove the remains of the water. (6) let transport air-dry overnight. (7) Re-install transport, then reinstall the ink cartridges. 8) ENJOY YOUR PRINTER. (9) I saw many entries on this topic dating back two years, without real solution offered. I am an automotive engineer in unemployment. If HP (or anyone else) would like to hire a smart worker, engineer in the Detroit area, please inform. Thank you!

  • I found the FIX for the problem of HP4500 ink cartridge!

    I had problems with my ink cartridge three colors... just like many others. After searching endlessly with no solution to the problem, I decided to take a flashlight and look inside the printer. What I found was a piece that had become crooked behind my color cartridge. It was a simple solution... I took a long thin to flat head screwdriver and pushed very GENTLY in place. I then ran a TEST PAGE and ALIGNMENT before I printed anything... it worked! Here is a picture I took before I did the setting of the insert on the left hand side, it's here that the color cartridge is going... If you notice, it appears to be crooked... he slipped easily right now in place. I've reintroduced the cartridges and closed the door. IMPORTANT * make sure that you unplug your printer before attempting to solve this problem * good luck and hope it's a permanent and not temporary solution

    Hi coolinutah,

    Thanks for the valuable information and goot to know that you were able to correct and solve the problem.

  • "Black ink cartridge is not compatible with this printer" message - 56 HP deskjet 5552

    I just replaced my HP 56 cartridge in my old printer HP Deskjet 5552 - I use an iMac & when I try to print, I get the message error "black ink cartridge is not compatible with this printer.

    It makes no sense that I replaced the cartridge many times before without ever having a problem.

    I have already returned a cartridge to the store where it was a problem with the cartridge itself, but the same thing happened with a second.

    Any suggestions gratefully received.

    Thanx, Alison

    Hello

    It usually take a few cleanings to operate.

  • DeskJet 932C, you can print with just replace the black ink cartridge?

    My question is basically simple.  The printer DeskJet 932C can operate with only black ink?  Color ink was empty for a while now, but the printer kept working, printing in black and white.  Due to the cost of the ink and the absence of any income available, we just changed the black ink cartridge.  The problem now is that the printer will not print not even black and white.  Do I have to scrape some funds to replace the color ink cartridge, or y at - it another way to get the printer working with just the new black cartridge?

    Thank you in advance!

    Hello

    Your printer can print in black only, but up to a certain point , you need tri-cartouche color otherwise it will not print. It's a little late now, otherwise if you only need to print B & W, a monochrome laser printer is very good and much cheaper to run (in terms of cost per page).

    Kind regards.

  • HP Deskjet 1000 J110: Intense black print with the black ink cartridge only

    Hello

    I am trying to print the darkest possible black, but simply by using the black ink cartridge. How do I get there?

    My printer is HP deskjet 1000 J110 using cartridge HP 301.

    I do my drawing in Adobe Illustrator and set the color to be CMYK 100 100 100 100.

    If I insert only the black cartridge, the printer will leave empty place where color CMY ink should be or it will fill the space with black ink?

    Basically, what I'm trying to do is to increase the density of ink to the highest possible but only using only the black cartridge.

    Thank you.

    You can use the mode single-cartridge:

    Use single-cartridge in the HP printer with a single cartridge. Mode single-cartridge begins when an ink cartridge is removed from the distribution of the print cartridge. In the mode single-cartridge, the product can only printing from the computer.
