Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues
For your colors not matching - follow solutions 1 through 4
Solution 5 and Step 5 on Align the Printer - make sure you follow the steps all the way to the end of this by scanning the alignment page. This should stop the printing of a test page each time you turn it on.

6150 All-in-One won't print black

My HP Photosmart 6150 All-In-One won't print black. There is a new black cartridge and all the other inks are fine as well. I've cleaned the printhead 3 times and all that printed was yellow. I then ran an alignment. The alignment failed, but it wasn't because of a paper issue. The manual says it could be that the printhead assembly or the sensor is defective. Is it worth getting that fixed, or should I just get a new printer? I've had this one for 8 years and it's worked great until now.

Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I noticed that your HP Photosmart c6150 will not print black. I am happy to look into this issue for you! According to this guide, Color Mix or Missing Colors on the Diagnostic Page, it states: Missing colors occur when the printhead nozzles dry out. Since you have tried cleanign the printhead multiple times, and the issue is still occuring, I would consider having the printer serviced/or replaced. Please contact HP, phone support for further assistance. (After you fill out the information, you will be given a phone number.)

C4680 All in one won't print black

C4680 printer shows low black ink level, and won't print black. Prints color fine.
Already have tried the following:
Printer stopped printing a letter, showed low black ink level.
Purchased and installed new black ink cartridge, still won't print black, still low black ink indicator
Did printer cleaning three times. No help
Switch off, remove cables etc as recommended on HP site. No help.
Completely deleted printer from devices and reinstalled. No help.
Called HP help, after 30 minutes of BS told me cartridge was low after I told him three time I had just bought and installed a new one.
It will not copy black either
Any new ideas?
Thanks.
Bill

Clara- I did call phone support as I stated in my post; and their response was extremely irritating, just like your last post. Told Surha the phone guy all that I had already done and he kept telling me to do the same things. Didn't even say, I know you did this but let's try it again.
I clearly stated in my post that I purchased and installed a new ink cartridge, didn't help. I appreciate your trying to help on your own time possibly, but READ THE POST. I am aggravated because I have a problem and you are telling me to do things that I have already done that didn't help.
If you have something new to suggest, great, that's why I am contacting HP. If not just say, "yeah you have tried everything that they tell us to go through. You may need to take in to a service depot or just buy a new printer. Sorry."
By the way, there are several reports on other internet sites of the same problem with no solution. HP obviously has no clue. Hope someone in engineering or wherever is looking into this.

PSC 1510 All in One won't print black

Had printer for couple of years. Suddenly has decided doesn't want to print black. Tried everything. Have noticed other HP models on forum have same problem. One tag mentioned taking colour cartridge out and then it prints in black. Tried this but printer goes into fault mode as soon as I take colour cartridge out.
Any other ideas?

OK, if there is some black after manually cleaning the nozzles then the problem is the cartridges, not the printer. I would suggest running up to 3 cleaning cycles from the front panel. If this does not fix the problem then likely you need a new HP cartridge.

5510 all in one won't print black ink

Hello guys,
I see that this issue has come up before, sorry for being a broken record!
My HP 5510 is not printing black, and I have followed the troubleshooting steps on this board. I am very frustrated because I am 3 months out of the 1 year warranty, and I for troubleshooting purposes, I purchased nearly $55 worth of ink! I have no idea if Best Buy will take it back since the cartridges are opened and installed in my printer.
What options do I have to get a working printer?

Photosmart 5510 All In One won't print black

One week ago I copied an A4 page and it worked. Last night, I tried to copy something and I realised that the printer has black ink issues. At first I thought that the printhead is dry so I did a printhead clean without any results. Then I thought that the cardrige may be empty, so I filled it, and then I did a printhead clean again. Neither this time. And then I saw that there are other people that have the same problem. The question is: What to do now?
I use the original cardriges that came with the printer and some good ink. It is the first time since Nov 2012 when I have this problem with the printer.

For the Photosmart 5510 the troubleshooting steps in the document here may help. Especially make sure the vents are cleared. If that does not resolve the issue then resetting the printer as described in the post here may help. If this does not resolve the issue then read the entire thread here and try requesting reset instructions.
I am concerned about your comment "good ink". If you have refilled the cartridge there are various possibilities that could damage the printhead, including air in the supply or printhead, incompatible ink and a host of other issues.

C3180 Photosmart All-in-one won't print. Gives message 'clear paper jam.' There is no paper jam.

C3180 Photosmart All-in-one won't print. Gives message 'clear paper jam.' There is no paper jam. About a month ago there was a paper jam, but was removed. It worked fine since then until yesterday. I've tried all the HP trouble-shooting suggestions- unplug, take apart, manually move carriage, etc. and nothing has solved the problem. The paper does not advance...all that happens if I try to print is a lot of noise like carriage going back and forth and after a/b 1-2 minutes it will show the "red X" blinking on the printer and a message on the computer screen, "Clear paper jam." When the problem first started yesterday the message was that the printer was "Out of paper." I need to print a resume and this is just the wrong time for someone such as myself with little computer knowledge to try to figure it out. Thanks for any suggestions!

Hi there pattimessick,
You may not need to remove/re-add. Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
It can fix a lot on its own (especially connectivity problems) and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
Best of Luck!

Hp officejet j4580 all-in-one won't print from the internet.

My officejet j4580 all-in-one printer won't print anything I try to print off the internet, nor from microsoft word. I tried reinstalling, but it gets stuck at 94%, and it took almost 3 hours to get to that point. What can I do? My operating system is microsoft vista.

Hi,
Here are a couple of things to try. I would first start with downloading and running the Print Diagnostic Utility. IF this doesn't clear it up, then try the document on Problems printing from the internet.

See if either of these help.

I am not sure which Diagnostic utlity you used previously. I have included the two which should assist with your printing issue. Try the Print Diagnostic utility first.

Officejet 6210xi all in one won't print in color

I didn't use the color part of my printer for a year, then I bought and installed a new color ink cartridge. However, it still won't print in color. It will print in black but only black, no greyscale. I've tried cleaning the heads, resetting the system, I've double checked to make sure the ink cartridge is the correct one and it is. I've looked through all the faq's in the printers menu but nothing works. Any help is appreciated, I'm about to give up and just get a new printer.

Hi @Jaim_Faul ,
I see that you are having issues printing in color. You tried a new cartridge and have the same results. I would like to help
you out today.
I would do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.
Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
Try these steps to see if it will resolve the issue.
Missing, Faded, or Dull Colors.
Go to Step 3 - Print a diagnostic page. Just to see if it is a hardware or software issue.
You mentioned that you cleaned the cartridge heads, I still included this document to make sure all the areas for the electrical contacts were cleaned on the cartridge and inside the printer. Cartridge Error. Disregard the title.

Envy 4502 all in one won't print from Windows XP

I just set up and successfully installed the software for my Envy 4502 on an old PC running Windows XP. The internal test page comes out fine, but when I send a document it appears very briefly in the print queue then disappears and the document won't print. Any ideas. I've tried all the stuff that the HP Doctor suggests, uninstalling then reinstalling etc.

Hi @Sianeo
Welcome to the HP Forums. I would be happy to help you print from your Windows XP operating system to your Envy 4502 printer. I understand your print jobs seem to be disappearing from the print queue.
What stuff did you try already? WHat did the Print and Scan Doctor suggest?
Please try bypassing the spooler to see if you can print directly to the printer.
1. Click on start and go to devices and printers.
2. Right click on the printer and click on printer properties.
3. Choose the option "Print directly to the printer".
4. Click apply and then ok.
If this works follow the next steps and try to print again.
Hold down the Windows Logo key () on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the run box
Type services.msc and press Enter
Locate Print Spooler and double click on it to open the Spooler properties
Make sure startup type is set to Automatic, if it is not please click on the drop down and choose Automatic
Under Service status, please Stop the server, and then wait a moment and click Start
If bypassing the spooler does not result in a successful print, let me know. Please post back to let me know if the issue is resolved, if bypassing the spooler led to a successful print, and what steps you had performed prior to posting on the forums. Thanks.

8600 all in one won't print or scan documents placed directly on glass?

I have a new Officjet 8600 All In One model N911A. I can't get it to print or scan a document placed directly on the glass. It will print and scan using the auto document feeder only.
I am working wirelessly and tried to run the HP Hardware Diagnostic Utility but it tells me the printer isn't connected to my computer. Ugh!
All I wanted to do was copy a page from a magazine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

OK, try installing this firmware. Depending on which OS you have, please select the link below:
Windows 7
Windows 8
Try to copy and scan after this update.

Officejet9120 all-in-one won't print yellow

My brand new hp yellow cartridge C4838A won't print. The 9120 display shows the cartridge is full. The confirguration page output contains no yellow. I have cleaned the print head, reseated the cartridge many times, aligned the print heads, calibrated colors (which of course didn't work because the yellow will not engage).
Until my last yellow cartridge expired, everything worked fine, yellow printed. The three color cartridged all expired on the same day. The new magenta and cyan are working fine. It's just that pesky yellow that's a problem.
Anyone have a solution out there? I'll appreciate your input.
