yellow will not print photosmart c4280

My printer will not print or scan colors yellow / green. It's a fairly new cartridge, so I don't know that I him have not used everything up and on the levels of food its fine. I don't get the error messages. And clean the heads of printing and the allinged I level 1 and 2.

I advise to remove the Photosmart C4280 cartridges and clean the electrical contacts.  During this operation, I would go ahead and perform a reset of the ink system.  For more information about how to perform an ink system reset click here.

In addition, there is a document for the resolution of bad color printing problems.  The document can be accessed here.

  • Also, try to run all 3 levels of the print head cleaning utility.  He is trying to force the ink holes in the print head to try to get back to the normal print quality.

Let me know how it goes.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8500 a Premium yellow will not print

    I am not able to print Yellow.  The quality of the print head is 'good' on my two print heads.  I cleaned the Black/Yellow Printhead (which was dirty) and electrical contacts.  There is no break in the inktubes.  Original HP cartridges were full (although with all attempts to realign and clean, they are now all almost empty).  Print quality report shows no white dark lines or gaps in the Test focus3.  The reason for Test 1 shows and connected lines.  Focus 2 shows not yellow, but without streaks white through any of the colored blocks.

    So I think I've covered everything except the replacement of the print head.

    The question is to know if I can wait that it will change the situation to change the print head or if I have to get the printer serviced - and, as it is out of warranty, if it means that the cost of the service outweighs the balance of the cost of obtaining a new printer.

    What do people think?  Is that what sounds like a new printhead will correct the situation?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello Cherniack,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    On the Officejet 8500 has not not printing yellow and all the troubleshooting steps you have done, I would say that Yes. Replacement of the print head would be your next best step.

    Even if the printer is out of warranty, the print head may be covered. It is guaranteed is distinct from the printer and is located on the side of the printhead:

    If your print head is under warranty and you call in North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all the other regions, click here.

    If the print head is out of warranty and you want to order the replacement, visit HP SureSupply.

  • Black ink will not print Photosmart 5510 b111a

    I read all posts CIHI and I've tried everything suggested except you get out the printhead, I do not think it entirely.  I tried aligning and cleaning several times, at least 5.  I have manually cleaned the contacts as well.  Still no black.  the colors are very well. I tried a new cartridge, the same thing.  Any ideas?

    After on the phone for 39 minutes... It's a hardware problem 4 months out of warranty. They said that this happens often. I was offered an upgrade to a 5520, because it uses the same ink I have... for 81,99. I can buy a new one for 99 at best buy. HP did not move on the price so I didn't say thank you. I'll go buy another printer elsewhere. Probably another brand... Oh, btw, it was for a reconditioned model may be used

    I have a new HP Photosmart 5520 printer all-in-one.  Black ink ran out so I replaced it with a previously used ink cartridge which is of the same type # 564 but a XL version.  This cartridge has been barely used.  Now, I just can't get anything to print in black.  It will print in color, but not black.  I tried to turn off the printer.  I put the cartridge in my printer and it worked fine.  What should I do?

  • Photosmart C & 180 will not print red

    The printer has suffered when we had a power cut and he was turned on.

    Since then, it will not print red. (I just get yellow).

    Have looked through the wire "Will not print Magenta", I'm not sure who, magenta cartridges (or both), I need to try hard - or if there are a few other adjustments that I do.

    Hello Phil1812,

    Please confirm the process you have already finished.

    Another process, you could try is as follows:

    (1) remove all ink cartridges.

    (2) close the ink access door.

    (3) disconnect the printer.

    (4) wait for about 30 seconds.

    (5) connect the printer.

    (6) a message indicating to load the cartridges should appear on the control panel.

    (7) reload cartridges.

    Kind regards

    Hey @MtnSquid,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I would like to help you today to identify the problem with the yellow ink not print on your HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless all-in - One Printer. First of all, I would like to thank you for the detail that you included in your post about troubleshooting you have already completed the steps. You have already run through the troubleshooting steps recommended to solve this problem of print quality.

    Now at this moment I think that your problem is your black and yellow print head. Because you have already replaced your cartridges, cleaned and aligned to your printing system we know at this time that the yellow cartridge is defective. The black and the print head yellow is what controls the black and yellow cartridges for printing. Because the yolk still does not question must lie with this print head.

    According to the HP Support document: solve print quality problemsonce the following steps are performed:

    • Solution: use genuine HP cartridges
    • Solution 2: Check paper
    • Solution 3: Check the print settings
    • Solution 4: print and evaluate a Diagnostics Page of print quality
    • Solution 5: Check the image

    The last step is to "replace one or two print heads. In this model of printer, you have a Cyan-Printhead Magenta and black and Yellow Printhead. As I said previously, because this problem only affects your yellow cartridge that your problem lies in the black and yellow print head.

    You can buy the black and yellow print head locally or hpshopping.ca: black and HP 940 yellow print head Original. The part number is C4900A and it cost about $64.99 before taxes.

    However, be aware that there is always the chance that this print head does not solve your problem of yellow quality because this may be the beginning of your print system failure. If the new printhead fails to solve your problem to a replacement printer would be necessary.

    If you want to explore alternative options, I would recommend that you contact our Technical Support telephone queue.

    HP Technical Support can be reached at the: 800-474-6836.

    Please let me know if this post will help you. I can't wait to hear strings attached good luck!

    Hello

    Perhaps he is worn and requires little (routine) maintenance (20,000 sheets is a lot of printing).

    As OEM HP is responsible for the good operation of the printer and their drivers. Check with
    HP support, their documentation online and drivers and ask in their forums.

    Good luck, you need to update or reinstall the latest driver.

    There are three models, so enter-> Photosmart 2610 - in the link of the HP driver and select the version
    you have - then select your version of Windows.

  • C7180 WILL NOT PRINT YELLOW

    My C7180 printer will not print Yellow not, instead, it prints green.

    The yellow cartridge has been replaced several times, and they contain green ink does not yellow.

    I learned that the Lt Cyan or Cyan is a bleeding into the yellow cartridge.

    I emptied the yellow ink before you replace it with a new yellow cartridge.

    All other colors seem to be OK

    Is it possible to COMPLETELY CLEAN all inks, clean the head and install new cartridges?

    Hello 09irishman40,

    Thanks for being honest in describing what happened before the show.

    It's a hardware problem as the print head and the way by which the yellow ink will are damaged.

    I would recommend that you call the HP Technical Support.

    I don't know if the printer is under warranty, but then HP Technical Support could provide a better options for you in this situation.

  • PHOTOSMART 5520 WILL NOT PRINT BLACK

    I just replaced the cartridges for my PHOTOSMART 5520.

    After that, color printing has no black color.

    All HP cartridges are not new.

    It's very frustrating.

    for some unknown reason, this problem is gone when I tried printing 2 weeks later.

    To summarize:

    I'm in the United States.

    I replaced the 4 cartridges again purchased at HP online.

    After that, the black will not print if I choose to print in color.

    But if I print in "black and white only", black is in fact works very well.

    I tried everything suggested in the web forum such as cleaning, alignment, prower AC cycle,... etc. He has not fixed the problem.

    I stop using the printer for 2 weeks. But yesterday, I try agin, then the problem is gone.

    I don't know what to say. Thanks to HP for assistance.

    Overall, the servie is nice - just called him several times.

  • 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?

  • Series 6510 Photosmart will not print at all, or very light ink, after the installation of the Mavericks

    21/01/14 hi support community - after having installed the Mavericks a few weeks ago, I can no longer print to my HP Photosmart 6510 of any of my devices Mac: MacBook Air, iMac, or iPad.  The printer acts like it is printing, even if the result is either no impression on the page or something almost too small to see, with weird colors. I replaced all ink cartridges.   I was on MAC support forums and have done everything suggested, i.e. reinstall the printer, reset the printer, so that reset each device.  The printer will not print a test page.

    I need to use my printer.  Help please!  Thanks, Bonnie

    RESOLVED (I think).  After posting my question, I continued to search for possible answers.  After starting from scratch, I followed the instructions and others have left regarding the problems of scanning.  Seems that whatever it either which has interfered with printing can also lead to the (logical) scanning.  I have no idea what exactly 'fixed' my printing problem even if at the moment everything seems to work.  (I did not scan anything - and this time not afraid of)

    Thank you to everyone who takes the time to write clear troubleshooting advice for us non-tech people who have to find out things about ourselves.   Bonnie 12:30, 21/01/14
