Re: C510 black eStation ink cartridge work do not

Frustrated REEEEEALLY. After screwing around all day trying to get stuff printed I sit tonight with a new black ink cartridge and it's either not all black printing or it is a pale gray. All other cartridges work. Come here, when I click on links to every possible solution nothing opens for me. Before anyone asks, this printer is about 2 or 3 years, but had BARELY BARELY BARELY served. It is connected to an HP computer that is only a few years old with exceptionally light use also. I installed the updates that were available. He printed some photos fine this am, but I'm trying to print documents has put me in such a rage today I had better just go to bed. Warranty is out, so much for spending money on a printer expensive in the hope that it would last. Hope this will be a quick solution. It's really annoying to keep buying new printers all the few years despite them get such use of the lamp

Hi @Furbio and welcome to the Forums of HP!

I'm sorry to hear you had so much trouble for your C510 to print in black, but I will certainly do my best to give a helping hand

Because you mentioned that you have questions, open links of the forums, I'll have everything written here in my post, so I apologize in advance for how long this post can get!

First of all, I would like you to clean the contacts on each cartridge by following the steps below taken from the document a "incompatible cartridge" or "not compatible ink cartridges" Error Message on the computer or the all-in-onefor your printer. "

Follow these steps to clean the electrical contacts of the cartridge.
1. gather the following items:
Clean cotton pads
Paper clean and lint to rest the cartridges on (coffee filters work well)
2. press the power button to turn on the printer.
3. open the cartridge access door. Lift the corner front right of the printer until it locks on the door in the full open position. Wait until the print carriage to move toward the center of the printer.
4. press the tab on the front of the cartridge to release it, then pull it up and out to remove it from its housing.
5 hold the cartridge by its sides with the nozzle facing up.
6 locate the electrical contacts on the bottom of the cartridge. The electrical contacts are four small rectangles of copper metal.

7 wipe the electrical contacts with a q-tip clean and dry until no debris remains on them. Make sure that no ink or debris from the smear on the transparent window next to the electrical contacts.
8. place the cartridge on the clean and lint paper with the nozzle upward.
9 locate the electrical contacts inside the carriage. Electrical contacts are similar to a set of four copper color placed pins to touch the electrical contacts on the cartridge.
10. clean the electrical contacts inside the car with a clean, dry cotton swab, second.
* Please do for each cartridge, just to be complete
11 drag each cartridge into the slot that is appropriate until it snaps. Make sure that you insert each cartridge into the slot with the corresponding color icon.
12. close the cartridge access door.

After completing these steps cleaning cartridge, if the problem still persists, I would like to manually clean the electrical contacts on your print head (the part the cartridges sit in inside of). These measures were taken from the replacement print head for your printer paper (with a few changes to make things more clear ).

Follow these steps to clean the electrical contacts on the print head and inside the printer.
1. press the power button to turn on the printer, if it is not already selected.
2. open the cartridge access door. The carriage moves to the center of the printer. Wait that the carriage is idle and silent before proceeding.
3. to remove the cartridges, press the tab on the front of the cartridge, and then pull it upwards to remove it from its housing. Do this for each cartridge.
4. to remove the print head, lift the locking on the carriage to the stop handle.

5. place the print head on its side on lint cloth or absorbent paper and use a fluffy and filtered/distilled water to clean the electrical contacts inside the printer as shown below.



6 proceed to clean the electrical contacts of the print head as well using the same materials. Just be careful not to touch the contacts with your fingers.

7. once everything is dry (try not to let the printhead out for more than 10 minutes if possible) please proceed to reinsert the printhead to the printer and gently drop the locking handle to fix it up before you reinsert the cartridges and close the printer.


When the printer is finished it is maintenance, try to print a report to see if the black is printing printer or if something has changed with the next steps in the document printing to a printer status report for your printer.

  1. In the home screen on the product control panel, press Menu () in the upper left corner. A list of menu options screens.

  • Black ink cartridge print do not. All-in-one 6500 e709n, windows 7 64

    Black ink cartridge not printing not tried currently displayed responses including soak the print head.  The only check that I'm not sure of the vent hole is.  I see not a magnifying glass, or hole to put the needle find.  Tape has been removed.  Tried to blow into the cartridge to see if the ink out of the top of the cartridge - no luck.

    If you have followed all the steps to solve this problem of print quality and tried the solution of soaking the print head, then at this point so there are 2 options.

  • I bought HP 564XL black of ink, cartridges, how to make them fit in the printer C310a?

    Recently I bought HP 564XL black ink cartridges for my printer Photosmart C310a as they had to be compatible but the cartridge is too wide to fit.  They do a different medium for the largest ink cartridges?

    The standard black cartridge for Photosmart C310a is physically the same size as the 564xl. There are 2 black cartridges in the C310a. One on the far left of the printhead is the black of the Photo and that of the extreme right is the ordinary black.

    Are you making sure to put the black cartridge on the inside right side of the print head? For more information, see the documentation provided here.

    I hope this helps.

  • HP 6500 Office jet E709a - black HP 920 cartridge printer does not

    My blck ink is not, the Panel indicates that it is about 2/3 full. But it does not print anything in black. I turned the printer off and back and I remmoved the ink cartridge and put it again. I don't know what else to do.

    In this post troubleshooting steps can help solve the black not printing in printers with inks separate (one for each color) and removable heads.

    In some cases, it may seem that the black is not printing, but it may appear in the pages of test or when the brilliant media is selected in the driver.  Black pigmented, used in most HP inkjet printers is not compatible with the glossy media.  When brilliant media is selected, the printer will use color to render black areas.  [A similar process is used in the pages of diagnostics of some printers.  [So that the information can be read, even if some colors or black don't work.]  If in a pinch, you need to print in black you see acceptable temporary results by changing the driver settings to select the glossy photo paper.

    To address the underlying issue of clogged print head black, the following may help: first check the vents of the ink cartridge is properly erased as shown in the fourth Solution here.

  • Ink cartridge # 99 does not fit into the printer, only #97 will fit

    Hello, I tried to install the print cartridge # 99 and he doesn't, oddly enough the # 97 cartridge fits very well.  It seems the line (party at the top of the cartridge Bay won't let me install the cartridge, as the #97 the manual for my HP 6540 has said that I can use this cartridge # 99 photos improved.   Help, please

    Hello

    The 99 Photo ink cartridge cannot be inserted at the location of the left as the 97 color ink cartridge.

    In order to use a Photo cartridge, keep the 97 color cartridge in the left location, remove the black print cartridge and insert the Photo cartridge instead of on the right...

    As the manual on page 36 list, the Photo cartridge must be used on the cradle of law:

    To install the print photo, remove the cartridge of the printer black inkcartridge,
    then to install the photo print cartridge in the compartment to the right of printing
    the cartridge cradle.

    Is this a faulty new cartridge?  Help, please!

  • HP Photosmart Plus B210 Series new magenta ink cartridge prints do not at all

    First of all, I had a problem with my cyan ink on my printer HP Photosmart B210 series. The problem was that he was not the impression and he says it wasn't printing because of the cartridge and also I had to align my cartridges. Whenever I tried to align the cartridges he says that alignment does not so I ended up trying to align them so much that I have exhausted all my ink and went out to buy all new cartridges.

    When I installed new cartridges and tried to line up once again, they all worked perfectly, but when I went to print a photo, the magenta was not yet appear. I did another test called 'Print diagnostic Information' and the magenta box is completely blank 100%. When I went to see the "estimated ink levels" he said it was perfectly fine. I tried to print a picture of a square while magenta box and the printed page was completely empty.

    Basically... How can I get my printer to recognize the new magenta cartridge because it is not currently.

    I'd say running up to three cycles of cleaning the printer before driver or Panel box tools.  If this doesn't get the magenta, then you can try soak the print head, as described here.

    [edit] Know that the ink gauge is probably not at this point clear - especially the printer like that it has printed pages of magenta at this stage, while the ink is still in the cartridge.  The ink gauge will indicate less ink cartridges is actaully available.

    Hey @jas493,

    Welcome to the Forum from HP Support.  I hope you enjoy your experience here.

    I see you have a recurring problem of print quality with your HP Photosmart 7510 e-all-in-one printer.  I want to help you with this.

    What you describe, it seems that you tried all HP recommended troubleshooting steps.  Fortunately, given that your printer has a removable printhead, there are some other steps you can take to address the issue:

  • A cartridge work do not on Photosmart C310A

    Replace the cartridge yellow on C310a, yellow will not print, but others do. No error message, run diagnosis test, head alignment, clean cartridges. A cartridge back to store and exchanged for the nine.  Still will not print. Everything is loaded correctly. What should do?

    Were you able to clean the printheads clvkp?

  • Always printing black ink cartridge is not after several clean using your own ink cartridges

    I have a HP Deskjet 3050 All in One J610 series printer.

    I use Windows XP.

    I'm a Newbie as HP printers are concerned, but some have experience troubleshooting former HP model a parent.

    The black cartridge is not printing.   For various reasons, I have not used the printer for about two months.  So far, the printer worked fine, and in fact it is still using the cartridges that came with the printer.  I mention these points here because I realize or the other or both can be part of the issue.

    When I sent a document to the printer, printing was uneven.  I checked ink levels and black and color cartridges were about the third two full (before I used the print head cleaning utility.

    After cleaning the printheads, I tried again and this time the impression was the same, but in a shade of light blue, which was very low.  However, the original document is in a police man and a shade of gray, so perhaps he used ink cartridge color and not black?

    Research using the viewer help from HP does not help because it implies that you don't know how to locate the ink cartridge Clean Utility.

    After searching on Google to match the questions, I tried a second and then a third level of cleaning.  And because a post mentioned have to do eight times, I did a little more luck.  When the page is printed at the end of the cleaning cycle, the colors come out crisp and even.  There is no black bloc... is there?  I can't find an image showing a what print perfect following cleaning should look like.

    Additional to clean using the utility attempts do not seem to have worked and could even have been counterproductive because when I tried to print another document, and this came out so pale that I first thought that it is a blank page.

    I used the utility to re-estimated ink levels and the color is always about two third full, while black has dropped a little down, but is still above half full.  There is a check/tick showing for black ink and color.

    Messages on similar questions suggest that the replacement of the cartridge does not solve the problem and that heads should be cleaned manually.

    Should I try to clean the heads manually?  Who was mentioned on the threads and even on the HP support but as another option for a very different model.   I watched some demos on You Tube, but they are for different models of HP, in which they remove the printheads and clean them in a solution provided in the trade which I think is available in the United Kingdom, or with water!

    I would be grateful for any advice as to whether I should remove the black cartridge and clean heads printing and, if so, if someone could point me to a link where this is illustrated step by step, video, or shown in the logical steps.

    In the meantime I'll go off and buy a new black cartridge, but if it's the heads need cleaning, I'll have to do anyway.

    Thanks for any advice you can give me!

    I would like to manually clean the contacts on the cartridges and the printer. The process is described for your model of printer in step 3 of this document here.  The rest of the document does not apply to your question, but it does a great job giving instructions step by step on the manual cleanup process and materials needed to use lists. Manual cleaning will help ensure that the accumulation of contacts is not the cause of the issue of the print quality that you are experiencing. I hope this helps.
