Deskjet 3070A - Cannot print in Black

Hi
I've read about ALL the threads about this problem and it seems that there is no real solution.
I've noticed that Ciara sometimes help with sending a PM.
Please Ciara help me as well.
Many Thanks

I cannot print in black on either of my printers. Why?

I cannot print in black on either of my printers. Why?

I had one printer that I use and it was not printing anything in black from documents. It will print colors. I can make a copy and it will print in black. I can print a scan and it prints black. I called the manufacturer, LexMark and they want me to pay them to help me fix it. I happened to think I have an old printer that was my father-in-laws, who passed away. So I hooked upt that printer and installed it to my computer. It is doing the same thing. That makes me think it is not printer specific that it is computer specific.

Just purchased a Photosmart Plus B210a cannot print a black & white photo, coming out green.

This would indicate your magenta ink is not printing properly. Try the troubleshooting steps in this page.

Epson Stylus CX9400 - Cannot print in black ink only

I cannot print in black ink only on my CX9400 printer. My OS is Windows 7. I've never had this problem before, and it only happens with pdf documents. Please adivse me how to correct this problem. Thank you.

Dear user BVILLE22,
In 10.1.2, we have intentionally removed the option 'Print color as Black' from the print dialog due to its incorrect behaviour of converting all text to black. The correct one is to print it as Grayscale and for doing so, you can follow the two below mentioned methods:
Method 1:
1. Select your printer and click on its properties button.
2. Search for option 'Print in Grayscale', which is provided at different location for different printers. One I am attaching for reference is under 'Color' tab of printer properties
3. Click ok and then print.
Method 2:
1. Select your printer.
2. click on Advance button.
3.Select Color management section -> 'Working Gray' as color profile.
4. click ok and then print.
Hope this will solve your problem.

Hp deskjet 3070a wont print black

My printer has stoped printing black ink, color works fine. It happened a few printed pages after switching to new ink cartadges but only the black stopped working. No ink what so ever comes out. Have tried the print head aligning, cleaning and every other tip on your site. Even tried to manually remove the thing the cartadges sits in and cleaned it with hot water with help from instructions here: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printing-Issues-Troubleshooting/Deskjet-3070A-won-t-print-black-after-b... but nothing helped.
The printer is around 3 years old, so warranty, there's no error message and nothing else seems wrong. The problem came out of nowhere, one day it was printing fine, the next, no black ink. I live in sweden (seems to be relevant somehow).

HP Deskjet 3070A No printing Black after re-introduction of orginal HP 364 Cartrigde Black (

Last month 3 cartrigdes (bleu, yellow and black) were low. I went to the seller, who advised me for Black a not orginal
cartrigde. The new cartrigde (label X) doesn't work fine and I went back to the seller. I 've got a new orginal HP-black
364 en I've installed this orginal HP-black cartrigde. Now I got no black print at all anymore.
Is it possible to reset the printer or otherwise let my HP printer work again ?

HP Deskjet 3550 cannot print using Airport Extreme via USB connection on Windows 7 64 bits

Product Name and Number: HP Deskjet 3550 Inkjet Printer
Operating System installed: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bits
Error message: None
Any changes made to your system before the issue occurred: Setting up HP printer using Airport Utility to add a new printer and installed Bonjour Print Wizard.
Problem: My printer is already set up using Airport Utility. When I print something, the printer doesn't do anything. Is there something I haven't done lately in order to get this printer working using my wifi router?
Suggestion #1: Are the print jobs getting stuck in the print queue? You can check this by clicking on the printer icon in your task tray by the clock.
Error Message #1: Yes, the print job got stuck in the print queue, but the moment, it disappeared from the print queue and the printer doesn't print at all. This is frustrating.
Suggestion #2: Does the printer work as expected if you connect it directly to the PC via USB?
Error Message #2: Yes, the printer works if I connect it directly to my PC via USB, but I don't understand why it wouldn't work with the wifi router, though.
Suggestion #3: This has to do with the way the router handles the connection to the printer. I found another thread, regarding this issue, and it has some information that may help resolve it.
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-Networking-and-Wireless/Print-Problem-Using -USB-Printer-on-Airp...
If that does not help, I would recommend posting on the Apple forums, as they may have more expertise with the router's abilities:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/wireless/airport
Error Message #3: After clicking on the first link that you posted, it was very helpful, but the printer couldn't print completely and somehow it would stop at the quarter of a paper. It looks incomplete when I took it out from my printer. It does that every time.

UPDATE!
Problem solved! So this is just a followup in case someone else ever stumbles into these boards with the same or similar problems as mine, that is, trying to run an HP Deskjet D1500 series printer [mine's a D1520] on an Airport Extreme wifi router's USB port as a network printer [with the Airport Extreme controlled by an ancient G4 PowerMac Quicksilver currently running OS X 10.4.11).
Although it probably SHOULDN'T matter, since this type of printer works fine with just the Tricolor cartridge as shipped when hooked up directly to a computer's USB port, on a hunch I got a black HP cartridge (that's a type 21, not type 22 as I had earlier said), slapped it in, tried a test page, and all's well. So, we can call off the technoid hounds. Everything running perfectly.
I hope this message in a bottle may help someone else out there some day soon who may be scratching his or her head with a similar stumper. And just to recap those important Windows printer settings, they are:
* [Printer Properties--> Ports--> Add New Port...] "Standard TCP/IP Port"
* [Configure Port] IP Address "10.0.1.1" and Port "9100"
Best of luck!

My hp deskjet 9362c will not print in black and white/error message says the printer mode is set at

can not get my hp deskjet 932c to print in black and white. error message states print mode in auto, but I can't find the print mode to correct. printer was printing in black and white or color automatically til last night, then in middle of document quit altogether. new cartridges get the same results.

Check the paper type settings. If this is set to "automatic" and the paper type is detected as photo paper then black only print is not available. (The black pigmented ink is not compatible with photo paper.) What is your operating system?

Not printing the black ink

I was printing yesterday and all of a sudden the black stopped printing. So I replaced with HP ink and tried printing and still blank. I also replaced of the color ink as well and it still does not print. I even bought a second black ink to see if maybe something was wrong with the cartridge but it still is not prinitngI don't know what else to do. I have cleaned everything and I also tried to realign the printer which fails every time. Any suggestions or do I just go out and buy a new printer. Extremely frustrated at this point.
