HP Deskjet 2050 3 in 1 - has ink will not print

HP Deskjet 2050 3 in 1 - Windows 7
I have run the print/scan doctor, alignment and cleaning options. The printer engages as it is printing but there is no ink on paper. Cartridges seem clean and fresh ink will come out of cartridges. Unable to print color or black ink. Thank you in advance

Hello ebbevans,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with the printer not printing black of coloured ink.
First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
I have also located a document that deals with Fixing Ink Streaks, Faded Prints, and Other Common Print Quality Problems.
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.
Thanks for your time.

    HP Officejet Pro 8500   Cyan ink will not print. installed a new one, but no success

    I had to replace both printheads about $85 a piece.  It may be more cost effective to buy a new printer.  Once I replaced the one printhead, the other one went out.  It is common and it did solve the issue.  I really like my printer and if it gets me another year or so, I think it was worth it.

  • Office Jet Pro 8500 Black ink will not print

    black ink will not print and alignment fails.  I have cleaned the print heads through all levels.  The colors print perfectly but black will not print.  I have reset the printer, run tests pages, but still no black ink and the unit trys to align, but fails.  The unit is no longer in warranty.
    This question was solved.

  • Cyan ink will not print.

    My Officejet Pro 8000 wireless suddenly stopped printing Cyan (blue) without warning.  No "low ink" light, no printhead error messages, nothing.  I replaced the ink tank, and the print head appears to be clean. The magenta, on the same print head, is working fine.  Any help will be appreciated.

    Hello Bisonbill,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you are not able to print in any cyan ink on your HP Officejet 8000 Wireless printer. You have no problems with any other color on the OJ 8000.
    I would like you to start here: Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages, please focus on the cleaning as well, the cartridge may just need to be properly vented, or cleaned.
    Let me know if this helped.
    Thanks,

  • Photosmart C6180 All-In-One...Black Ink will not print...the page is almost blank

    The Printer seems to work correctly, but the page is almost blank.  The only exceptions are a few faint characters, and sometimes a light line down the side of the page.  Can you please help?  The printer has not had much mileage.
    Thanks,
    Ross

    I ran all those tests and did all the upplugging, turning off, etc.  Do not think is a software / connection problem.  Somehow I think the issue is in the black print head.  All ink levels are very good.  In the past, I have been running the printer with the print settings in the software at ... print  in Greyscale / Black Only.  Though the old black cartridge showed plenty of ink, I put in a new black cartridge and that is not the problem.
    Even when I put a paper on the glass to copy and use the black copy button, it prints very faintly...almost not even there.  Yet when I copy by pushing the Color Copy button on the printer and use a color original, colors seem to show up better.
    I have used the tool, clean print heads, several times.  There is a lot of ink in the squares, but it is all color.  My gut is somehow the black print head is still plugged, or something like that.  Though it says to use the "clean print heads" sparingly because it uses up ink,  I saw in the self help to do this 3 times or more.
    What can I do to get the black print head to print?  I appreciate your comments.  My wife is ready to toss it and move on.
    Hope you have a good weekend.
    Thanks,
    Ross

  • HP Officejet 4620 - Black ink will not print.

    I have read through the blogs on this and it looks like others have run into the same problem that I am having.  It says that my warranty was up in Sept. 2013.  So, I'm not sure where to go from here.  I was hoping that someone from HP might be able to help me?  I have replaced the black ink cartridge with an authentic HP cartridge and ran all of the diagnostics.  I really like this printer so, I hope there is a solution to this problem.  Any suggestions would be great.  Thank you!

  • HP Officejet Pro L7780 All-in-One Will Not Print Blue Ink - It Prints Pink Instead

    HP Officejet Pro L7780 All-in-One -
    Issue:
    Blue ink will not print (It prints the color pink instead.).
    Actions taken:
    1.  Cleaned ink heads.
    2.  Replaced ink cartrige.
    3.  Reinstalled software.
    Sugestions by HP customer service:
    Purchase a new printer: Because the issue is software related - not reading the blue ink cartrige.
    Any suggestions or advice would be very much appreciated.
    Thank you for your time!
    Thank you.
    Sincerely,
    Ryan

    The cyan portion of the printhead may be clogged.  I would suggest running the diagnostics shown here.  If three levels of cleaning of the printheads does not resolve the issue you may need a new printhead.

  • Photosmart C309a black ink cartridge will not print

    Hi.
    I am having problems with my Photosmart Premium C309a printer. It will not print using the black ink cartridge. I pulled this printer out of storage and the original cartridges had run out. I replaced these with brand new cartridges. When printing a quality report, everything turns out fine except there is no text and no black square from the black ink cartridge (however the photo black cartridge DOES print). Printing a page of text just results in a blank page. However, images and coloured text print out fine.
    I have tried a lot of troubleshooting steps listed on these forums and elsewhere. Soaking the pritnhead seems to be the most effective solution for others but this has not worked for me. However I cleaned the printhead very thoroughly and there is no trace of ink anywhere in it. So far I have discovered that it is a hardware issue rather than a software one as there is no black ink on pages I try to photocopy. I have tried the following troubleshooting steps:
    Turning both the printer and PC off and on again
    Resetting the printer to factory defaults
    Reinstalling the ink cartridges
    Automatically cleaning the printhead (several times)
    Aligning the printhead (fails - probably due to the absence of black ink)
    Soaking the printhead in hot water (twice)
    Rinsing the printhead under running hot water
    Manually scrubbing the printhead with cotton buds
    Making sure the cartridges are vented properly
    I'm at a loss as to what to do next. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I am having the same problem. I 've soaked the heads, I've put genuine ink in. I've tried everything but cannot get it to print in the Black XL.  Prints all other colors and the photo black, but no in text black. So irritated right now !!!
    HELP ! ! !
    I've even did a hard factory reset.

    HP Photosmart C6180  all-in-one.  Will not print Black.  Also shows low black ink on ink level.  Cartridge is new and HP brand.

    Download and run the print and scan doctor located here (amoung resolving some things automatically it can give us a better idea of what is going on with the printer). Give the steps outlined a shot and let us know the results.

  • 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.

    New pc w/ Windows 7. My HP deskjet 3650 will not print PDF, Quicken, Website selections, etc.
    HELP!

    Did you install the driver as described here?  Will the printer print a Windows test page or a file from Notepad?  Do print jobs remain in the print queue?  Are there any error messages?
    Running the diagnostics at http://www/hp.com/go/tools may help resolve the issue.
