My HP Photosmart 8250 will not print in black.

Hi,
My HP Photosmart 8250 will not print in black. I saw previous posts stating that it will not print in black if any of the color cartridges are empty, but all of the cartridges have ink. Thank you!

Hi rine051662hart,
Welcome to the HP Forums.

My Photosmart C6280 will not print in color.

My Photosmart C6280 will not print in color.All ink levels are good. Factory defaults clicked. Did I override something without realizing it? I don't see anywhere to click for grayscale. I am using an APPLE AIR....I have also turned the printer off and on again..

Hi there @Ashley31 , welcome to the forums
I read about how you cannot print or copy in color. Not copying in color is concerning, as the copy is a stand alone function that does not involve the computer in any way.
I'd suggest power resetting the printer:
Press the Power button to turn on the product.
With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Wait at least 15 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
You can also remove the ink cartridges and reinsert them and try a color copy again to see if that helps.
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, such as a replacement or trade in. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and if you are calling outside of the US/Canada region,: click here.

Photosmart D7560 will not print envelopes - load paper into main tray

My photosmart d7560 will not print envelopes, after moving the envelope into position for printing, the message "load paper into main tray" is displayed. It does print the envelope data correctly on a piece of 8.5x11 paper. Setup is for a #10 envelope. Envelopes are self sealing. I have tried creasing the edge better but that didn't help. I tried a non-self seal (which had a letterhead on it so I couldn't use it for this mailing) and it DID work. Is there any way to make self seal envelopes work in this printer?
This question was solved.

Do you have the flap folded inside the envelope, so that it does not stick out?

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 Plus will not print black ink

My printer will not print anything in black ink. I just replaced the all 4 ink ink cartridges and on the printer it says that they are all full but it still will not print anything in black ink. All the other ink works fine.
It is an HP Photosmart Plus and the model is B209a. I bought it about 4 months ago.

The troubleshooting steps in this document may help resolve the issue. If not the post here may help.

Hp photosmart 5515 will not print black.

hp photosmart 5515 will not print black, but will print colors (cyan blue yellow). Printer shows full inks on all colors.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

No solution. Power cycled several times, power cycled computers, modem, router, performed all recommended cleanings, changed all ink cartridges, checked it over several days - no go. Then, suddenly, after weeks, it started printing again. That's one hell of a gremlin. Throughout all of this time, my inexpensive Canon printer never faltered.

Printer will not print most web pages.

Wireless Photosmart all in one Printer will not print most web pages. Everything elso prints consistantly but cannot determine why web pages generally do not print. It soes not seem to matter whether I click file - print or control P or clicking the print Icon. The print icon appears at the bottom of the screen for a couple of seconds then disappears & nothing prints. Is there a setting I am missing?

**HELP** My C309a printer will not print!!

I have a C309a HP Photosmart Premium printer. I operate it thru a wireless att dsl modem. Suddendly, after some HP update, it no longer responds to the Print. I have run several self diagnostics online. Thus, I first made sure the wireless connection is operative (YESI disconnected and reconnected just to make sure) then 1: uninstalled the Printer driver. 2: Installed the CD printer dirver. 3:Unistalled the CD printer driver. 4:Installed and unistalled the HP website drived for windows 7 64 bit (three times). I have called HP tech support and was helped by a friendly guy who had me repeat step 4 two more times . We have concluded A: the the printer is indeed connected to my wireless network. B: the copy feature works on the printer. C:the Scan feature works and successfully uploads the scan onto my computer. However, the the printer will not Print!! When I hit the print button on a document, web page, or anywhere on the computer the printer does nothing!! The test page on the HP site does nothing as well. Not a whisper. Anoher odd thing is that I cannot augment my printer properties (the window that allows you to select draft, black and white printing only, or paper size). When I hit this button I am receiving some OXE..... error window. The HP tech stated that i had to have ink in all of the cartiriges for it to respond to print and attempted to sell me some over the phone. My color and photo black ink have been dry for over 8 months. CAN ANYONE HELP ME???!!!!

Well, I think the simple answer is that, yes, you have to have ink in all of the cartridges for the printer to print.

My wireless HP Deskjet 3050 printer will not print from web sites.

My HP Deskjet 3050 J610 printer will not print from web sites - it prints ok from WORD, etc. I keep getting the error message: "An unknown error occurred while printing." This problem only arises with Firefox browser.
The printer is connected wirelessly to a network and this occurs when I use a laptop on the network. It is also connected via cable to a desktop computer but there is no problem in printing from the desktop.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

That sounds as if you need to investigate to see if you were able to clear all of the paper that was causing the jam.
Best regards,
erico

JJust had problem corrected due to frozen imac, now HP printer will not print. Says it is not connected. What do I do to fix it?

To reset the printing system:
Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
Choose Print & Scan from the View menu.
Hold down the Option key while clicking the "-" (Remove printer) button. If no printers are currently added, hold down the Control key while clicking in the box that appears above the "+" (Add printer) button, then choose Reset printing system… from the contextual menu.
When you've done the above you'll need to re-add the printer by clicking the + (Add printer)

Thank you for posting your list of installed Extensions. One of them might be intercepting the menu command. Since you have the Add-on Compatibility Reporter, it's possible that an older add-on that doesn't actually work well with Firefox 5 could be to blame. Could you try disabling the "HP Smart Web Printing" extension and see whether that makes any difference?
Also, you can simulate a print button on a web site by pasting this to the location bar and pressing Enter. You also can save it as a bookmark for easier access (when scripts are saved as bookmarks, we call them bookmarklets). Hopefully you won't need it for long.
