Hp photosmart 3210 all-in-one - some colors not printing even after changing cartridges.

 I recently had an issue while printing a document. the content was off colored and the error message said black was low. Changed the black cartridge and things just got worse from there. Still no black, cleaned the printheads, printed another test page and no longer had magenta or lt magenta. Replaced those as well. the only had yellow, magenta and lt. magenta.  yellow was low as well, so now every cartridge has been changes.Tried to print document again and it printed in magenta and lt magenta. never have seen black again and the self test diagnostic page is printing in purple. What should be black showed up as purple with lines and yellow is a rainbow of mustard, magentas and purples. no other colors show up. WHAT IS GOING ON? have tried several times to align the printer but it always fails. Have cleaned the printheads several time and just get a mish-mash of colors  (no black) and most of the time no writing. When I try to print in black only, I get nothing.
What can I do? It worked just fine prior to ink going out.

Did you get a resolution to your problem?  The same has occured for me - only printing blues/yellows and greens.  Was working fine until I replace the yellow cartridge and then it stopped printing reds.

  • HP Photosmart e-All-In-O​ne C310a not printing black ink?

    HP Photosmart e-All-In-One C310a will not print black ink.  I've installed new genuine HP cartridges (original cartridges were also genuine HP).  I've run through all troubleshooting processes, test pages, clean heads, alignment procedures, and other suggested forum fixes such as "removing all cartridges, powering down, removing power cord, reinsert power cord, power up and reinstall cartrdges" which seemed to work for some other HP customer, but not me.  Any ideas?  Or am I fortunate enough to have a DUD?
    Please help....

  • Photosmart 3210 All in One - can't scan

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled my Photosmart 3210 All in One printer a few times in the last month and a half.  It hasn't solved not being able to scan.  I have to use Microsoft Paint to do that.  It keeps telling me the Digital Imaging monitor has been deleted or moved.  It also can't find HP Twain Scan.  I need help.  the process listed earlier did not work.  When I right clicked on HP Digital Imaging Monitor and Run as administrator, it said it was no longer in that location.

    Hi  ruthmarq,
    I have done some research and I have located a document that deals with when Scanning Stops at the Preview Screen when the Printer is Connected to the Windows Computer with a US....  This document also has the link to the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
    If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

  • HP Deskjet all-in-one F4440 will not print

    My HP Deskjet all-in-one- F4440 will not print.  I have put in a new color and a new black cartridge.  It clanks loudly when it moves back and forth.  Finally it stops and then pulls plain paper through as though printing on it - does this two or three times.  then it pulls plain paper halfway through and stops.  I have to tug and carefully pull halfway paper back out towards front to remove.

    Hi there,
    Could you provide the community with a little more information to help narrow troubleshooting? Are there any error messages or flashing lights? What operating system are you using?

  • HP Photosmart Premium All-in-one c310a - How to print in black and white

    I want to print a color pdf file in b&w on my HP Photosmart Premium All-in-one c310a printer. When I go to "features" -> color options -> grayscale -> in the drop down box, there is only one choice - "high quality". There's no "black ink only" choice as I have seen in forums on similar printers.

    If you have the full feature drivers installed for this printer and there isn't a Black Ink Only option under Print in Grayscale, then this printer lacks the feature.  Typically the Black Ink Only options follows the drivers for some deskjets and most officejets, because of the office environments they are intended for.  Where as Photosmart printers are more aimed at printing photos.

  • HP Photosmart 2610 All-in-One, Manual Two-Sided Printing, HP e-mail support Ticket no: 8028153835

    HP e-mail support, Ticket no: 8028153835 
    I purchased my HP Photosmart 2610 all-in-one printer in 2005. It was previously installed on a HP Laptop, Windows XP, and all the features worked.
    It is now on a PC running Windows Vista Ultimate 32. When I tried installing the printer software CD, it wouldn't load because of the Vista OS. I then loaded the HP Photosmart 2600 series full feature printer driver (Vista OS compatible) from the following HP website link:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-47754-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&...
    Now I cannot get the Printing Preferences to allow Manually Duplexing (two-sided) printing. This option was available on the original printer software.
    I've tried the solutions on: HP Image Zone Help / Two-Sided Prints which indicate:  Click the Finishing tab / In the Document options area / select the Print on both sides check box (this box is not available).
    When I run the printer from the Control Panel as Administrator, the printer Properties / Device Settings show Manual Duplexing: Enabled.  When I go to the printer Properties / Advanced / Printing Defaults, neither the Finishing / Print On Both Sides check box is available nor will the Printing Shortcuts tabs allow the Print On Both Sides option to appear (only shows Print On Both Sides: Off).
    HP e-mail support told me to install this patch to correct the problem:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericSoftwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-69848-1&cc=us&lc=en&...
    When I try installing the patch, it won't load because it wants the original CD software. So I'm back to my initial problem of trying to load the original printer software that won't load because the CD is for Windows XP OS. I am at an impasse between the Software CD that I have, and what is available on the HP website.

    Also, if it were, do you download the driver?
    The driver is supplied through Windows Update.  Go to the Devices and Printers folder, Add a Printer, then select Windows Update.  It will take a few minutes to update the list, then the Deskjet 6500 series will be a choice under HP (not Hewlett-Packard).

  • HP Photosmart 6510 series network printer will not print black after changing cartrage

    HP Photosmart 6510 series network printer will not print anything that is black or has black in the picture after changing cartridge, all other colors are working properly after changing. Does not look like any damage to the cartridge or the insert where you plug in the ink. The well where the ink pad and the cartridge meet is damp with black ink. So not sure what is going on

    Hello dinger57 and welcome to the HP forums!
    I understand since changing the black cartridge the black ink has not been printing. I'm sorry to hear this, but I will definitely do my best to lend a hand
    I will suggest that you start with following through this Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages document. If the issue persists after that can you please let me know what country you're in and whether the printer is in or out of warranty? Thanks! Please feel free to private message me the country information.
    Hope to hear from you soon!

  • HP PhotoSmart PSC All-in-one 2410 driver not found

    HP claims to have and distributes a mac osx 10.4 driver for the 2410. I DL it, installed it but unfortunately the install process ends by looking for a 2410 on the network, not on my USB connection. After quitting the process, there is absolutely no driver available during Tiger "install a new printer". The GIMP and HPijs did installed drivers but none seems to be compatible with the 2410.
    Anyone found a Tiger compatible driver for this All-In-One HP 2410?

    Hello All,
    I have an HP PSC 2410 printer. I used the original install disk, which came with the printer and it works fine. All functions (ie. printing, scanning, faxing, etc.) work. I did have an issue of not being able to print after upgrading to Mac OS X 10.4.4. However, after manually uninstalling all the HP software (following instructions I located on HP's web site), reinstalling and then rebooting the computer, all functions of the 2410 work.
    I originally purchased the printer in 2003. So the software drivers are from that time frame. I did download the latest version of "HP Zone" and installed it as well. Again, all software works with Mac OS 10.4.4.

  • HP Photosmart C4380 All-in-one won't network print

    I ran the test, and my wireless radio is not working. i just wanted to know my options and where i stand.
    is it possible to fix or do i have to contact hp etc? I bought it sometime in 09, so it shud be within warranty if i can find it.
    thanks ,

    First I would reset the printer.  Turn it off, unplug power from the back of the printer (not the wall), wait 30 seconds, plug in, turn on.
    Now reset the Network Settings:
    1. Press the Wireless button on the front of the HP All-in-One.
    2. Press the button next to the icon on the display until Restore Network Defaults
    is highlighted, and then press the button next to OK.
    3. Confirm that you want to restore the network defaults.
    Run the Wireless Network Test again.
    If you registered your printer, HP will have the purchase and warranty date.

  • HP Photosmart 6520: Black ink is not printing evening after installing all new ink cartidges

    Good evening,
    Printer has been working great since I've bought it.  I replaced the black ink cartridge today because my daughter remarked that blank pages was printing ... no word doc.
    Tonight I tried to print and no black ink, neither from the Printer function nor the Copy function.  
    Just to make sure that this wasn't a bad black ink cartridge, I went out and bought and installed all the ink cartridges and still no black ink,.
    I have run the software - Clean Printheads, both steps, twice (after waiting an hour inbetween the first and second series.)
    I have verified that the in flows from the cartridge.
    I have verified that the vent hole on the cartridge is open.  
    The warranty ended on 12-31-2013. 
    The only time I see black ink (words) is when I print the PRINT QUALITY DIAGNOSTIC report.
    Printhead removal does not appear to be user available.  Any suggestions - other than buy a new one?
    Gunz

    Hello afcosta355,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you are running into some print quality issues on your HP Photosmart 6520, you are unable to print in black ink after replacing the cartridge.
    I would like you to continue here: Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages, I understand you may have done some of these steps already but I need you to complete all steps in order to resolve the missing black issue you are experiencing.
    Please note: There are three printhead cleaning stages. Complete all three stages if necessary. If the printhead is badly clogged, it might require another cleaning cycle. If so, wait 30 minutes after the last (third) cleaning stage to start the first stage of the cleaning process over again.
    If you are still unable to print in black ink, I suspect the issue may be the printer and not the cartridge. Please let me know which Country/Region you are in as well as the product Warranty status: HP Warranty Checker
    I hope to hear from you soon.
    Thanks,

  • HP Deskjet All in ONe L7650 will not print black only --

     Started doing this with previously working black cartridge, updated software--prints, but blank page comes out when set to black ink only; prints other colors. 
    Changed black print cartridge and still will not print black.  Diagnostic page prints other colors.
    Printhead health shows good for all colors.

    What brand of printer cartridges (not printhead) did you use the last time you changed them?  I don't know if it was because one or both of my printer cartrdiges went dry, but I put new cartridges in (not printhead) and it improved somewhat--I kept trying to clean the printheads but it seemed to never get resolved.
    I refuse to have to buy new printheads.  I tried several cycles of "align printheads" "clean printheads" and never got a decent print out, but I did get to the point of all the colors printing although magenta printhead makes printing errors and so I never know what I am going to get with color anymore.  
    It seems to be at its worst when printing in "draft" but in normal or best (with more ink coming through) it seems better--the higher ink volume seems to cover some of the problems with the printheads.
    So, I am justing using it "as is" and not replacing the printheads--because it is a waste and yes, could almost get a new printer for this cost.
    I wish I had never gotten this All in One and just stuck with the old 970 csi and the old UMAX scanner, which was a better scanner, but thought I would "save some space" by getting this since it scans legal, which I needed.
    Just keep trying to reseat the printheads (also trying to reclean them, which seems to make it worse) and keep printing out those "tools" alignment and cleaning procedures.  
    But no help from HP.
