• Does not print any black ink

  Hello, I have a Photosmart C6380 all-in-One Printer.  It will not print in black ink.  The other colors work very well.  I changed the 4 smaller cartridges because they were all low or empty.  The larger black cartridge is about half full, perhaps slightly slot so I have not yet changed.  When I print, it prints all colors except black.  I really want to buy another cartridge with him still having a lot of ink left.  However, the other day I tried to make a copy just for the heck of it.  Dang, he printed the copy very well.  I shook my cartridge twice.  The first time right before printing to think perhaps this would help.  The second time right before I did the copy.  So why will it work for the party copy, but not printing?

  I also tried assigning the factory settings, but that didn't help either.  Also, I had problems with the office, so I can't try it print again until I get this job.  I tried to download the software of the printer on my laptop, but it does not work.  I would also like to be able to print wireless with my laptop and printer.  How can I do once I get the downloaded software?

  Thank you!

  Color cartridges are typically used when you print copies unless the printer is set for improved text and the copied document is recognized as text.  Try to print a page of test, as shown in step 4 here.  If black is not printing, follow the steps in troubleshooting in this page, especially looking at the vents and cleaning of the print head.  After the first seven steps, if the problem persists the following may help.

  Please read this post then provide some details.   What operating system?  Running the diagnostics to http://www.hp.com/go/tools can help solve the problem.

• Want 5530: Printer does not print in black ink

  I recently updated my HP 8.1 Windows of Windows 10 laptop.  I have the same type of printer (Envy 5530) installed at my other House and updated my desktop computer for Windows 10 and had no problem with printing, but now I'm with the laptop.  I try to print documents now and the printer does not print anything using black ink.  Color ink prints, black ink just not. The two jets of ink are filled.  I did all the "try these patches" suggested Windows and HP Print doctor.  I uninstalled and reinstalled the printer twice.  I rebooted the computer several times.  I'm no tech person by any means and have no one to help me or ask what else to do. Can someone help me understand this please?  Thank you!

• 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 Deskjet 2542 is not printing in black ink

  Very well. So I picked up a new all-in-one printer HP Deskjet 2542 today from Walmart. At he House installed the printer on my computer compaq laptop windows 7. Print a page of alignment and scanned. Successfully. I went to print my paper for school. Only the hyperlink color was printed. Everything was empty. I printed another document that was all black. It printed 2 blank pages... I'm very disappointed because I just bought this printer less than 3 hours ago! I printed the test pages and everywhere where it is supposed to be black it is a light blue light. The gray dark fate well however. Alignment is fine, it's just a matter with black ink of he. And it came to pass also supplied with the printer that I bought. I don't want to spend more money on the new cartridges that it is supposed to be new! Help, please?

  Thank you @Fujoti. I had originally tried that before posting here and there do not seem to work for me another that tell me that I had to get it repaired for my new printer. To remedy this, I called HP Customer Service help line and I was able to get my printer to print pages in black ink.

  SOLUTION: I cleaned well the bottom of the cartridge with absorbent paper. Then re-installed in my printer. The first pages may be a bit scratched. If this continues to learn more then just a couple of pages I have to go out and clean the contact a little better then you should be all good!

  Thanks for all your help guys

• HP Photosmart 5520 does not print in black ink.

  Black doesn't print not... except on the print quality diagnostics page where the text and black frames around boxes all print in black.  Inside of the 'Black' box is empty, however.  When I try to print a page of type, it is either totally empty or very indistinct.  How is that possible?

  I saw three other posters with this same problem, everything from 21/01/14 and no answers to the problem.  All the patches of troubleshooting on the Web page do no good.

  My warranty has expired also.  Is this a systemic problem?  How do we get fixed?
  

  Hi RAJP-52,.

  Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!

  I understand that the black is not printing on the computer but prints partially on the diagnostics page.

  I'll be happy to help you.

  I don't know what you have tried so far the fix, but I included a few documents to go through the steps to see if we can solve this problem.

  This printer has a permanent print head. You can always run however of cleanups on the print head.

  This document is intended printer does not print black ink or color ink or prints blank Pages.

  Here is a document to clean the contacts of the cartridge.

  'Cartridge problem,' 'Cartridge missing or damaged', or 'Not compatible ink cartridges' Message is displayed on the control panel.

  Please let me know the results if you are still having problems.

  You use genuine HP cartridges?
  Check the date on the cartridge to make sure that they are still in warranty. (not old stock)
  What are the ink levels?

  If you like you can print a new diagnostic test page, scan it and include it in the post, I can take a look to try to find a way to solve this problem.

  Thanks for posting on the HP Forums.
  Good day!

• Re: HP Photosmart 5510 - will not print using black ink

  I received a WARNING ink level so I went out and bought new cartridges. When I put the new in, black will not print.

  I followed all the instructions on my printer, all the instructions of the hp print & Scan Doctor and went out to buy a new black cartridge in the second.

  tracking of document Hp: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03425035

  Still no black printing.

  I cleaned the print heads.

  So I have three cartridges of "True HP", two of them nine and no black print.

  Are there any other instructions that can be followed to fix my printer? It is more under warranty and there is no way I'm paying for a repair on a printer who leave work when installing a new cartridge.

• PIXMA MX922 test the right page, but will not print in black ink

  MX922 worked perfectly, and I love this printer. A few days ago, she didn't have to print a tax return online. Assumed there is some problems with the website then I just saved in pdf format. Then it again... fine color prints, but nothing in black. Test page for verification/nozzle is perfect, but did a cleanup anyway. Always the same. Comes with most WORD documents but I created 05/04/16 print - a desire for 4/6, I don't not created. So far, all of the Acrobat & html documents are affected. Have removed and added the printer, but that did not help. I've never been able to use as wireless so it is plugged into USB.

  MAC OS el Capitan. Recently installed Family Tree Maker and perhaps an update from MS Office.

  You will appreciate all suggestions.

  Thank you for your response. You are right... I didn't know there were supposed to be two black grids on the test page. I called technical support and we are working on that.

• Photosmart 5510 - will not print in black ink

  PRINTER HAS FAILED - CLOSING OF THE FORUM.

  {title of the origninal thread restored in order to make the more searchable topic}

  This is a simple fast recommendation I would try.

  Remove the cartridges from the printer. Once they are there, try a hard reset of the printer. Once the printer turns and asks the cartridges, then go ahead and implement what their return.

  Follow these steps to perform a hard reset on the printer.

  1. press the power button to turn on the product.

  2. with the product, unplug the power cord from the back of the product.

  3. disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.

  4. wait at least 15 seconds.

  5. plug the power cord into the wall jack.

  6. reconnect the power cord to the back of the product.

  7. If the product does not light by itself, press the power button to turn it on.

  Try and let me know if it helps. If not, there is probably a more serious hardware with the printer problem. Especially if you have experienced already troubleshooting guides. There is still one thing, we can try, which requires a certain type of reset of the printer, but I will have private message you the steps to do this.

  If I was helpful, or if you want to say thanks you can click the White Star under my name to give me congratulations.  I really appreciate it!

  Good luck

• HP photosmart Premium All in o: how to print in black ink only, when all the colors are empty except new black tank.

  In the past, I was able to print with cartridge black new xl size, although all colors are empty city black photo.

  I have upgraded to OS to win 10 and my printer does not print with black ink only.  I ran a test and black ink appears here.  I print a few things ok in black only before having to make a reset in progress and had to reinstall a ton of programs and software.  No matter what I do with the properties, it will not be printed on the page and try to use colorful tanks that are empty.  It was never a problem before using win 7.  Please help ASAP!

  There are a few things to check:

  • Make sure the paper type is set to plain paper.  If Auto is selected and is confused with the Photo paper paper or photo paper is selected only the color and photo cartridges will be used.  (The pigmented black ink cartridge is not compatible with photo paper).
  • Define advanced settings for printing in grayscale, black ink only.  Otherwise, the printer may by default using inks from color for chart areas, since this offers a better print quality due to the smaller droplets of ink color.

• 8500 A909a does not print in "black" when it yellow. It is color of ink required to print everything?

  Printer all-in-one HP Officejet Pro 8500 - A909a using Windows 7. The error message is "yellow", but the settings are to print in "black". The printer only works if all inks are operational or is it possible to print with only black ink?

  Even if the unit is configured to print in black ink only requires that all cartridges is available. This is to avoid the printer itself.

  Thus, the printer uses small amounts of color under black ink ink to keep ports in the filled fresh ink print head. This is part of the method that the unit integrated does not damage the printer by allowing the ink to dry in the ports of the print head. Also, this improves the black ink on the slipway of the page and have true black color we're used to seeing in print.

  I hope this helps.

• Photosmart 6510 does not print in black

  My photosmart 6510 does not print in black. I presume that it was the cartridge but I replaced the cartridge and it still does not print. I cleaned the print heads and the cartridge ink levels are full.

  The printhead, cleaning of the screen failed touchscreen printer running.  But when I sat down at my computer and used the program utility printing, he did.  I ran an initial print head cleaning my computer and then clicking the button indicating that the print heads were NOT clean.  He then ran a deep cleansing process.  Then I lined up the printheads of the same print utility program.  Now it works!
