HP officejet pro L7555 low ink

Is there a way to "override" the low ink warning for the cyan, magenta, or yellow cartridges so that I can still print using black ink only?

Hi @boilermadman , and welcome to the HP Forums!
I can see you're inquiring about printing with empty or low cartridges.  I would like to assist.
The printer does require some ink in the printer.  Printing with empty cartridges can cause damage to the printhead, so there is no way to override it:

  • Not printing black ink after new ink cartridge installed (HP Officejet Pro L7555)

    I have an HP Officejet Pro L7555 on which I just replaced the black ink cartridge.  Now it won't print in black at all.  I have tried cleaning the printhead multiple times to no avail.  I only get printouts of boxes in all colors except black and nothing else written on the page at the end of each printhead cleaning cycle. 
    When I print the Self Test Diagnostic Page, it comes out in Magenta instead of black.  On this page, it shows that both printhead are in good condition.  The ink level on the black ink cartridge is shown to be full as would be expected for a newly installed cartridge. 
    I have replaced other cartridges on this printer before, and have not had this issue.  Could anyone please help?

    Thanks, garytech1.  I have seen the document.
    Solution 1. I have used and am using only genuine HP cartridges.  The one I recently replaced was black.  I have replaced the other colors before without problems.  
    Solution 2. I am using the correct type of paper. There are no streaks on the printouts.  Any printing I try from a document with black text comes out blank. The only two types of printouts I have obtained are:
      a. The Self Test Diagnostic Page, which comes out in magenta and it has no streaks.  It also lists the status of the printheads as being good.
      b. The printout that follows a printhead cleaning that has all color boxes except black. There are no streaks here either.
    Solution 3. I have checked the print settings (I have Windows XP SP3) and they are all correct.
    Solution 4. I have printed the PQ Diagnostic page and it is all blank except for some colored boxes.  There are no streaks in them.  No grey  boxes appear.
    Solution 5. There is nothing wrong with the images or documents I am trying to print.  
    Solution 6. I don't see why I should have to spend $70+ to replace the black/yellow printhead when:
      a. The yellow color comes out fine in the colored boxes
      b. All the diagnostics (the ones that are in the installed software as well as the ones I obtained from the HP website) all show the condition of both printheads to be good, and
      c. When all printing was working just fine before I replaced the cartridge.  Is there a physical way to clean the printheads since it appears from all of the above that it is the genuine HP ink that may have actually plugged it up?
    Thanks for your help!

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

    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.

  • Officejet Pro L7555 Hangs when printing,windows error msg - APPCRASH,spoolsv.exe

    I have an OfficeJet Pro L7555 all in one printer.
    I have tried and the same result on 2 different computers.I have reinstalled the entire software on one of the computers - result is still the same.
    I just scanned a page to a pdf file and it did that ok.
    What happens is:
    1) i click to print and the job get sent to the printer,it starts to print and somewhere on the first page is halts sometimes with the page partly out of the chute where a completely printed page would land.I just tried to print 1 page and it did not print that page but a page that i was trying to print last night.Last night i switched the Printer off and also pulled the power plug out.
    2) it then usually tries to print the other pages,halts along the way and starts again,and the last time, it did not even print all of the whole page,and i can also get blank pages.
    3) and i get a Windows popup error box that says APPCRASH and the application is spoolsv.exe, i think,and options to find a solution online or to close
    The printer is about 2 yrs old and i do not use it very much,so i dont think it is wear and tear and worn out parts,but is there something that needs replacing that is routine? But I am suspecting a memory problem on the printer though.Is this possible?? as it has printed a page that i was trying to print last night and it did it twice instead of printing 2 different pages and i suspect it is having a problem with the memory of what to print.
    Thanks for any help in advance

  • Officejet Pro L7555..grabbing print roller crumbling paper at feed then jams! HELP!

    I have an Officejet Pro L 7555 and the grab roller in the right rear of the paper feed tray is grabbing and pulling the paper to the right and crunching it and causing a paper jam every time now for past 2 weeks. I have followed the online instructions and pulled the duplexer and cleaned the rollers I can get access to.  But I cannot find any grab rollers anywhere??  So I went into the papertray with a flashlight and see one grey roller that drops down to feed the paper and that is exactly where it is pulling the paper to the right and crunching it and then it jams every time.
    I need help trying to figure out if this is a fixable problem or if it is cheaper to buy a new printer???
    HELP!!!

  • AirPort Extreme does not see HP Printer Officejet Pro L7555

    I have tried to research how configure AirPort Extreme with my HP Officejet Pro L7555 by USB or ethernet cable.  After following instuctions, printer is not shown.  HP site that Apple links me to says it works by usb.  Apple is ambiguous as to if it must be airprint capable.  Thought maybe I need to set it up in the address category.  Can I get a definitive answer on the compatibility of this?  The latest drivers etc.. have been installed.  Any help much appreciated. 

    The HP Officejet Pro L7555 have three interface options:
    USB
    Ethernet
    Bluetooth via an optional Bluetooth wireless adapter.
    The USB port on the AirPort Extreme supports ONLY basic printer functions of a multifunction printer like your L7555. That means, you will not be able to access the printer's fax, scan, or copying function connected to this port. To gain access to all of the printer's functions you would need to have to connect it by Ethernet.
    Once connected by Ethernet, the printer, not the AirPort Extreme, provides the print server function. Regardless, be sure to use the very latest print drivers for your Mac or PC.
    HP provides a support article specifically for this printer when used with Mac here.

  • HP Officejet Pro L7580 - Yellow Ink Cartridge keeps popping out although it's brand new.

    Hello,
    I have had this officejet printer for about 4 years. I have never had a serious problem until now. A few days ago I replaced the yellow ink cartridge (88XL) because the ink indicator showed it as being completely empty. After replacing the cartridge with a brand new cartridge from OfficeMax, the cartridge pops out while I'm trying to print or copy something and the displays says that the yellow cartridge's ink level is not enough and needs to be replaced.
    It seems at first glance that this is a mechanical problem concerning the yellow ink slot; however, I'm not sure. Or I suppose the problem could be related to the cartridge itself. To get around this problem, I've held down the cartridge and stuck a small pencil in the opening where the small latch of the "ink cartridge compartment cover" normally goes in. That way I've been able to print, but it's really a hassle. And honestly I don't think this is the real solution to the problem.
    If anyone knows how to resolve this issue, I'd like to hear from you. Please let me know as soon as possible. Worst comes to worst I will have to go out and buy another printer.

    Try this for a Quick Fix ...........
    After reading other forum comments from people having the same problem with the yellow cartridge popping-out, combined with others who have realised that HP have no interest in compensating anyone for this rediculous example of, at best, 'bad design', or at worst 'blatent planned obsolescence', I have created a 'quick fix' that may add another 1, 2 or more years of life to the HP Officejet Pro L7580 Printer.
    This is not the elegant technical solution I was hoping for.  However, in hindsight, it may prove to be a more reliable solution than replacing the faulty part that is actually causing the problem.  So, here it is the Quick Fix ........
    I found a wooden triangular door stop that I cut to size that fitted exactly in the space between the plastic door and the offending yellow cartridge. To hold it in place, I wrapped the doorstop with 2" cellotape, then I stuck the door stop to the inside of the plastic door with double sided cellotape (double sided stick-on foam would also work well). With the doorstop in the correct place, the plastic door closed perfectly and was snug enough to apply sufficent pressure to the offending yellow cartridge, and hence stopping it from popping out again.  To make sure the plastic door does not 'fly open' with the pressure of the yellow cartridge (when it wants to pop out!), I applied another piece of 2" cellotape around the outside of the door, holding it to the body of the photocopier.
    This exercise only took 10-15 mins to do.  I feel this is a much better option than spending another $300+ on a new All-in-One  system, as well as being a good environmental solution.  If this is DELIBERATE 'planned obsolescence', companies like HP need to be more accountable for, at best, 'sloppy design'.  Any feedback would be appreciated.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8610 setup ink cartridges not recognized

    I just purchased an HP Officejet Pro 8610, and was following the setup on the printer, installed the ink cartridges as shown in the "movie" guide, and the printer seems to not recognize that I have installed the 4 ink cartridges. They are the 4 cartridges that came with the printer. 

    @jaycka 
    Welcome to the forums!
    I have some of my own ideas that might help the printer recognize the ink cartridges.
    Try this:
    Removing the ink cartridges.
    Unplug the printer.
    Dampen a lint free cloth or cotton swab with bottled water.
    Gently cleaning off the electrical contacts from the cartridges.
    Wait for the contacts to dry.
    Plug the printer back in and wait for the printer setup on the display to ask you to insert the cartidges and hopefully they'll be recognized.
    If not, call HP directly to inquire about a replacement.

  • Problem with HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer: Ink is vanished without any prints due to cleanups.

    Hello everybody,
                                    The printer HP Officejet Pro all-in-one 8500A A910 cleans printheads every time I turn it on. printer was updated with the lastet driver but my yellow,cyan,magenta inks gets vansihed without taking any colour prints.I take only BLACK prints(less than 500) and do scans.
    This is worse printer i have ever used. It is using inks while clean up at startup or in between.Frustating thing is that It is using ink even during SCANS. Now, i really doubt the intellegence of designers of hp to such a big BUG.
    Please update the driver so that during startup it will ask for SCAN or Print OR Clean the printheads when first print is given and addition to optimise the cleanups.
    Hoping to get some solution form HP.

    Hi arr_8500,
    I understand you have an Officejet 8500 A910 that is running the clean printhead function each time you turn it on. I will do my best to assist you with this.
    The reason the printer keeps running the clean printhead function is self maintenance. The printer is detecting an issue, so it will continue to run the clean printhead function until it's not detecting an issue. I would suggest you follow through this Fixing Ink Streaks, Faded Prints, and Other Common Print Quality Problems to help clean out any ink build up and things like that. I'd also recommend that you manually clean your printheads to remove any build up there as well. 
    Finally, it's best to have your printer plugged directly to a wall outlet. If it's not already in one, please move it.
    Hope this helps, have a great day!!

  • HP OfficeJet Pro L7680 - New ink cartridges saying "Empty"

    I have a HP OfficeJet Pro L7680 that has two ink cartridges that suggest they are empty, although they are brand new from HP. These are replacement carts, not the original.
    I am not sure how to diagnose the problem since the cartridges are leaking color when removed. Only two the four are reporting problems. The black and cyan ones are the culprits and the black one reports appropriately most of the time. The cyan one is consistantly reporting empty.
    Any suggestions on ways to clean/fix the issue? Also, are there any diagnositic pages in the menu where I can see the error code that the error is reporting?

    I did some searching through the service menus. There are two event codes and two error codes. Both error codes were all zeros. The event codes were 69556 and 69548. I sadly don't have a way to look those up so I think that's a dead end.
    The summary of the problem is that the cyan cartridge keeps complaining to be out of ink even though it is brand new from the store.
    I will attempt another cartridge soon (ouch these are expensive).
    Any other thoughts?

  • Pixma Pro 100 low ink warning

    Does the Pixma Pro 100 auto stop when insufficient ink is available to print properly or is the 'low ink' warning all you get until the it doesn't print correctly?

    Hi mrjcall,
    The PIXMA PRO-100 will warn you when the ink is "low" and stop printing when the ink is "out".  Keep in mind that when the low warning appears, you have about 25% of the ink left in your ink tank.

  • Officejet Pro 8000 says ink is empty even with a new cartridge

    I have a HP Officejet Pro 8000 printer in my office at work, and yesterday it said my magenta ink was empty, so we ordered a new ink cartridge. Upon replacing the ink cartridge with a brand NEW one, it still says it is empty and the light is still flashing. Of course, this printer doesn't print at all, even in black ink only, without all cartridges working. I am so frustrated.

    I have the same problem, does anyone have a solution?  The Magenta light is always flashing.  I've tried cleaning the tip with nail polish remover, inserted the cartridge in and out about 100 times and the light is still flashing and says the cartridge is empty and replace with new HP cartridge.  The cartridges have always been HP, $170.00 for 4 of them.

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus-- ink cold / freeze?

    I have an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus.  Bought new ink cartridges last night and left them in car (28 degrees F.).
    will the quality of printing be affected?
    Will there be any damage to the printer?
    Will the life of the ink cartridges be decreased?

    Hello 749,
    I understand you are interested in the proper care for the HP ink cartridges you purchased for your OfficeJet 8600 Plus. To answer your question it is recommended to Keep ink cartridges sealed in the original package until they are installed. Store at temperatures between -15 and 35 degrees Celsius (5 and 95 degrees Fahrenheit). So no, you should not have any problems with the quality or be worried that it will damage the printer.
    I would like you to take a look at Storing and Handling Ink Cartridges and Storing Opened Cartridges and Printheads these great documents have some very informative information that I am sure you will find helpful.
    If you have anymore questions, please let me know.

  • Officejet Pro K5400DN Cyan Ink Cartage LED keep blinking

    Hi,
    My printer is Officejet Pro K5400DN.
    I tried to replace the ink cartage with three brand new original Cyan 88XL ink cartages.
    The LED still blinking and my printer still not working.
    Who can tell my why?
    I have tried to reinstall them several times.
    power off and pull power plug out then its still the same.

    Hi Mulanan,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue with blinking lights on the printer.
    I do have a few steps that we can try in the attempt to troubleshoot this issue.
    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 also suggest that we go through the document on Blinking Lights on the HP Officejet Pro K5300 and K5400 Printer Series.
    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.

  • Officejet Pro 8600 Plus ink system failure

    I suddenly started having error messages staing there is an ink system failure.  Sometimes it changes to a "missing or failed printhead"  This happened just after the printer downloaded an update which I assume was new firmware.  I found a troubleshooting guide on the support site and tried it, but have not resolved the problem.  It is late so I plan to try again tomorrow, but wondered if others had this problem after a download.

    I have the same problem on my officejet pro 8500 a909g. I get thee message, renew the magenta cartridge! I did that, but stille get the same message and I cant print at all. I am afrais that HP has pre programmed the printer to go down after some working hours or a given amount of outprint. I do not know where to get assistance to solve the problem, but will let you know if it succeed. I am from Denmark. Best regardsSteen
