No color printing on Photosmart 5510 Printer.

I have purcheased new cartitgages. I have shaken the cartiratages. I have tried the cleaning feature, realigning, even the old blow on the machine trick from Nintendo days! I am totally lost as to what the issue could be. It will print black, but only black. It does not even read the new cartriatages as full. I bought them at Office depo. Please help me out!

IPad2, Macbook air and iPhone 4S doesnt find/recognize HP photosmart 5510 printer ?

Why MacBook Air, iPad2 and iPhone 4S doesn't find / recognize anymore HP photosmart 5510 printer ?

I would suggest starting with your MacBook Air.
The Photosmart 5510 is listed as supported by Apple. So I suggest setting it up under your MacBook Air as described in this Mac Print 101 article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4670
Then hopefully your iOS devices will see it on AirPrint.

Faded/ No Black Color Printing HP PhotoSmart 5510 Series

I have a HP Photosmart 5510 Series device.
I have cleaned printheads, changed the ink/toner, checked the vents and still I can't get the black color to print properly without being REALLY faded or sometimes not even showing.
I have read numerous articles for help and still no luck.
Suggestions?

Hi Kkenny,
I have a feeling the printer may be printing from the computer using composite black. For black and white images and photos, a blend of colors called "composite black" may be used to achieve significantly better image quality and smoother gray tones than can be accomplished with black inks alone. - Source
My suspicion is that the black ink cartridge itself may not be working or the printhead is not letting the black ink through to the page. Let's use the following links to begin our troubleshooting journey!
Please complete all of the steps in the following document; Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages. Although I hope this resolves the issue, it might not. As you have a 5520, If the issue persists, I would suggest calling HP Phone Support regardless of whether it is in or out of warranty as you may require a replacement printer.
The number to call HP is 1-800-474-6836 for Canada and US, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
Please let me know if the document resolves the issue, or if you called HP and the outcome of the call. Thanks.

Is the sign in button not working? Trying to sign up and enter printer code

Hello Jeanne_J47,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand your Photosmart 5510 is not connected wireless anymore. I will do my best to assist you! Is the wireless blue light blinking on your printer? If so, please use the wireless setup wizard to setup the wireless: (This information is stated here.)
On the control panel, touch the Right Arrow ( ), and then touch the Wireless icon ( ).
Touch Wireless Setup Wizard .
The Wireless Setup Wizard searches for networks, and then displays them in a list.
Touch the name of your network.
Touch Enter New Network Name .
Enter your network name using the product control panel, and then touch Done .
Next, I would recommend following this entire HP document on Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection. Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you.
Have a great night!

Photosmart 5510 printer model #B111A when using touchscreen apps i cannot connect to the server

Photosmart 5510 all-in-one printer, model #B111A, windows XP----i can print from the computer, but when i try to use the apps on the touchscreen i get a message error "cannot connect to the computer"

The steps below typically resolve the issue you’re experiencing:
1. Unplug the power cord from the back of the printer.
2. Unplug the power cord from the back of your router (and modem, if separate from the router).
3. Wait 20 seconds, then plug the router (and modem, if applicable) back in.
4. Wait 30 seconds, then plug the printer back in and power it on.
5. Press the ePrint button on the printer's front panel, and it should try to connect to Web Services again.
Those steps usually resolve the issue, but if it still occurs you can try setting static network info for the printer (which sometimes helps to stabilize the printer's ability to get outside of your network, to the internet):
1. Press the wireless icon at the top of the printer's screen and note the IP address.
2. Enter the IP address into the address bar of a web browser on a computer and press enter or click the browser's go button.
3. The printer status page should be opened. Click on Network at the top.
4. Click on Networking on the left.
5. Select Proxy Settings.
Note: If you are prompted for a redirect, select OK. If you receive a certificate warning, select the option that lets you continue anyway.
If you receive a Internal System Error, refresh the page until it loads the proxy settings.
6. Verify that all fields are blank. If they are not, clear them and make sure the Proxy Server requires authentication is unchecked and click apply. You should get a success message.
7. Click on Network Address (IP) on the left.
Note: If you only see IP Address Configuration and DNS Address Configuration with a yellow note, refresh the page until it loads completely.
8. Leave the IP Address Configuration as Automatic IP.
9. Change DNS Address Configuration to Manual DNS server.
10. Enter 8.8.8.8 for the Manual Preferred DNS Server and 8.8.4.4 for the Manual Alternate DNS Server.
11. Click Apply and you should get a success message.
12. Power off the printer for 30 seconds and then turn it back on to force the new settings to take effect.

I'm having trouble installing my hp photosmart 5510 printer to my laptop.

My husband and I recently bought an HP photosmart 5510 series printer. We were able to install it on his laptop but not on mine. I've tried installing it over and over and even troubleshooting it but I still get nothing. I'm not sure what I need to do in order to install it onto my laptop since I can't use the software it came with because my laptop doesn't have a cd drive in it. Can anyone help me out?

I don't have Lion, but Image Capture works for my HP PhotoSmart All-in-one.
Often scanning from the scanner is only supported for Windows, not Mac's
VueScan would probably also work, there is a free trial.

Printer: HP Photosmart 5510, product no. CQ176B, model no. B111a

I have been using this printer without any problem for almost two years from new until recently, the printer is not printing black ink but prints all other colors. I have replaced all 4 ink cartridges with the original HP made, but to no avail.
The fault code displayed is "Printer Failure code: Oxe 19a 0013. There is a problem with the printer or ink system. Turn the printer off, then on. If you continue to get this message contact HP". Please somebody help, I already have collection of three other printers but they are not wireless printers.

Both Side Printing in HP printer photosmart 5510

I have a Macbook running on lion 10.7.3 and i can't figure out how to print on both sides of the paper in my hp photosmart 5510 printer. Is there no driver that I can download so that the printer does it automatically ? I'm confused I think it is such a waist of paper if you can't print on both sides.

The Photosmart 5510 hardware does not provide Automatic Duplex functionality as you may find listed by the spec below:
http://www8.hp.com/uk/en/products/printers/product-detail.html?oid=5063600&jumpid=oc_r1002_uken&lang...
Manual duplexing can be done by any of the methods below:
Method one: Perform manual print duplexing using the Page to Print setting:
In order to perform manual duplexing, you shouls use the Pages to Print setting, as you may find listed below:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01663233&tmp_task=useCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lang...
Method two: Using the Two-Sided Printing application:
