HP Photosmart 7525 e-All-in-O​ne Printer won't print black

I've had my product for a little over a year (out of warrenty) I have replaced all cartridges and done Print Quality Diagnostic. However my black won't print. The photo black works, but not the main, large one.
I've super cleaned the pinheads. At the beginning of the print it was dark black, but then faded to gray streeks.
Can anyone help with this?
Thanks!

  • My HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-One printer won´t print out documents, just pictures ...

    My HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-One printer won´t print out documents, just pictures. I´ve used the printer, since it was new on the marked, and it has worked perfectly until a few weeks back. There is no problem printing out pictures, but only blank pages comes out when I´m printing out documents. Regardless if it is Word, Excel etc.
    I´ve never used anything else than original cartridges, and the printer is used on Mac OS X 10.7.4. I´ve tried to reinstall the printer several times without any success.
    Can anyone help me?

  • All in one printer won't print black ink - colour only

    My all in one printer won't print in black right now - colour only - even though the black ink is new.  It will print a couple of black ink pages and then reverts to colour.  If I give it a rest it will print a couple more black pages and then again, in colour - I think something needs cleaning but I don't know what - any help is much appreciated!  Val

    Please read this post then provide some details. What printer model? What operating system? Is the black cartridge an original HP or a third party or refill/renamufactured cartridge? (The symptom is typical of a poorly refilled cartrdige....)

  • My All-In-One 6500A Plus won't print any color from Internet Explorer (v8.0).

    My All-In-One 6500A Plus won't print any color from IE (v8.0).  I can print all colors from Word, PDF documents, photos, etc. - but not from ANY web page.  At first it only printed Magenta ink, now it acts as if it's printing (feeds the paper, moves the print heads across the page and sounds like it's printing) but the paper comes out blank every time.  If I change the print options to print grayscale and only use black ink, I can get a black only image of the web site.
    As I said, ALL OTHER APPLICATIONS PRINT FINE.  ONLY WEB PAGES WON'T PRINT, so please don't tell me it's the ink cartridges.  ;-)

    I guess it's time for me to change printer brands.  It will be a long time before I get an HP anything again!

  • I have an hp photosmart c7280 all-in-one series printer won't print. error message, system problem

    I have an HP Photosmart All-in-One C7280 series printer/fax/copier/scanner. I have been having issues with printing for the past few weeks. It is a wireless printer, with a jack into the wall (for fax) and it is plugged into a power source. I never used to have issues with it before, but recently, it won't print when I send a document to it to print. It will print its configuration pages, reports, etc if I select them from the Printer's menu but not when I send a doc to it to print. First it was saying it was offline, but I figured out how to override that by operating as an administrator and selecting "Use Printer Online" from the dropdown menu when I right clicked on the printer from the control panel. But now it says "Error: Printer failed to print document. System error".
    Noooo clue what to do now. This is the only color printer we have so we kind of need it to work. We bought this printer off the shelf at a office store (before I started working here) and so we don't have any designated technichians to work on it. I asked the guy who services our Image Runner Copier to look at it but he had no clue what was wrong with it. Hopefully someone can help?

    goestherain,
    I need to know what operating system you are using to helps narrow troubleshooting a bit, what OS are you running?

  • Photosmart premium 3-all-in-one printer won't print black ink

    My hp photosmart 3-all-in-one C310 series does not print black ink on the page.  The cartridge is new, and all of the ink cartridges are full.  The printer is 3 years old, just one month out of warranty.  I have downloaded all the latest updates, I'm pretty sure, and have gone to the troubleshooting page on the hp web site.  I have followed all the directions, twice, and still no black print.  Please help, I do not want to buy a new printer!
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Under Tools, I only see "Clean cartridges" not "Clean printhead." 
    When I selected "Clean cartridges" twice, the black ink printed!  Hooray! Once I post this, I hope get back to the page to say the problem is "Solved"!
    Oh, while I have you on-the-line, while the cartridges were being cleaned, I got a message saying that I had to download the newest hp drivers, since the ones I have are not compatible with this version of Windows.  However, I did download the latest drivers for 8.1 from your web site when I had a horrible paper jam.  After I downloaded the newer drivers, that problem was fixed.  But, since I am getting this message re incompatibility, do I have to download again?  It was only a couple of weeks ago (three at the most) that I downloaded the drivers.
    Thank you again!

  • Android smartphone will not send pic or 7520 hp photosmart or printer won't print pics

    I have an android smartphone and a 7520 HP Photosmart eprinter that is connected to my router at home. When I try to send a pic from my cell phone to the printer all I get  back is a piece of paper that says Sent from my Verizon Wireless G4 LTE Smartphone, no picture. Does anyone know what i need to do to get a picture out of my phone to print from my printer? Thanks

    Hi there, how are you sending the photo from the device to the printer i.e. using a print app or sending an email to the printers email address? The most convenient way to do it is by installing the free HP ePrint mobile print app from the Google Play Store on the device. Once installed press the photos icon and navigate to the image you want to print. Your printer and the mobile device will need to be on the same WiFI network and if this is the case the app should find the printer and you can go ahead and print. Here's a link to more information about this app and its features and capabilities. Post back if you're still having problems.
    Best

  • HP C7250 has all colors of ink but won't print in color

    My HP C7250 shows that all ink levels are OK on the display, but it won't print in color becasue it says tht the Cyan cartridge is low. I recently replaced the Cyan cartidge with a new one and the display shows that the ink level is full, but when i go to print I get a message that the ink level for Cyan is still low.
    The printer is out of warranty. Anyone have an idea of how i can get this printer to print in color again?
    I have tried reinstalling the catridge, and the same thing happens.

    I know this was a while ago, but did you resolve it easily?  Mine has full colors, including cyan at 80%.  It won't use the cyan for color printing at all, so all the colors are off.  I think I have to chagne teh printhead since I've already cleaned them and changed the ink cartridge.  Just curious.  Thanks.

  • HP OfficeJet 6310 All-In-One printer won't print in color with new cartridge

    HP OfficeJet 6310 All-In-One printer  on a iMAC  OSX version 10.9.5 system
    Hello,
    As I don't print in color much but had need to I discovered my printer not printing in color.  I trouble shooted and even replaced with an new HP95 new from Office Depot ( I never buy refilled).  The printer still won't print color but it advances the paper as if it was printing - just no ink on paper.  I have cleaned thoroughly the ink jet heads, cartridge area, and run all the alignment and printer utilities.    The test page print does not show color either.   I have no error messages.  Don't know what else to do.
    thanks

    Hi there @dhengr!
    Thanks for contacting the HP Forums!
    I can see your having a print quality issue with your HP OfficeJet 6310.  I should be able to provide documentation that will help locate a resolution.  You mentioned you have already tried another  HP95 tri-color cartridge with no resolution.  I also noticed you said that the quality report from the printer also has no color ink.  
    If a stand alone test report is performed from the front of the printer such a printhead cleaning or print quality report and there is no color on the page then you are likely looking at a hardware issue within the printer.  I have provided a document regarding Missing, Faded, or Dull Colors on the HP Officejet 6310 All-in-One Printer.  If you follow the document from start to finish and still have the same issue then I would recommend contacting our HP tech support via phone.  They deal with hardware warranty and replacement options.
    Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-phone-assist.html

  • Printer won't print - HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus All in 1

    Hi,
    Please can anyone help me ?
    I have Windows 7, 64 bit HP computer with  a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus All in 1 Printer.
    It printed over the network/wireless yesterday. I then had a problem scanning to the computer so I followed advice on the HP community and uninstalled and re-installed the latest software/driver for the printer.
    Today it WON'T PRINT!! The printer has a connection to my router (Plus Net Technicolor N router) and shows the little symbol on the printer screen. I tried printing my work today and it says the printer is offline - it can't be as the printer is ON and has a signal connection. 
    I have uninstalled, reinstalled, turned it on and off on the printer, I've restarted the computer, I've unplugged and plugged in all of it - the router, computer and printer. The computer has the green tick to say the printer is the default and it is ready. It then says to check the network connection or it maybe to do with the firewall settings, but these I haven't changed for over 1 month and I've printed loads of stuff between then and yesterday.
    I desperately need my printer and short of going to have to buy a brand new one - I don't know how to fix it!!!
    Please can anyone out there help me??!!!
    Help!!!!!!!!!!
    Thanks for any helpful advice
    Victoria

    Just to say as well that on the top of the 'X there is a problem printing' At the top where it says the printer - it has on it 'Fax - HP Officejet Pro 8600'
    So it is trying to print from the 'Fax' part of the printer and yet when I change the printer device to the actual 'printer' part to default it always changes back to the 'fax' Officejet Pro 8600 Plus rather than the Officejet Pro 8600 Plus.
    I will uninstall all the elements to the printer and then find the latest driver to the printer and start again to see if that helps.
    Please help me!!!
    Thank you for any helpful advice

  • Photosmart C4599 w. iMac OS 10.6.8 won't print. Error message "pipe broken" gone; still wont print

    Printer would not print. The error message: "Pipe broken. printer cartridges can't move, Open door and release cartridges."  However, when I opened the door they moved to the left and out of sight; I didn't see a broken pipe. When I closed the door, they moved back to the right.  Did this several times, installed a new black cartridge because mine was low, got a message to align printer, which I did.  Printer printed the alignment sheet, which I then scanned in and learned alignment was OK.  Printer still did not print although error message had disappeared. Then I followed all of the steps in HP's troubleshooting support (all of which I'd done on my own before) Got a message Printer Ready, but printer still doesn't print.  I tried some other files too, in case that one was corrupted in some way.
    I just tried again - with a new file.No success.  New error message: Unable to connect with printer; will try in 30 seconds.  All lights on the printer are fine, including the wireless light.
    Can someone help?  Many thanks.

  • PSC 1510 All in one printer - won't print even black and white when colour cartridge not recognised

    My PSC 1510 All in one printer is flashing the "check printer cartrige icon" and both "Black" and "Colour" icons at the bottom left of the printer.
    It won't print at all, even when I select grayscale (black and white). The help pages tell me that if I remove the colour cartridge the printer will switch to backup mode and I'll still be able to print in black and white (though not copy or scan). But this is not the case, and I can find no way of switching manually to backup mode. The help pages have no useful explanation of backup mode. I've also tried cleaning the cartridge (which I'm pretty sure isn't empty) but that makes no difference.
    Can anyone help? I'd be very grateful.  

    gabri21 wrote: I have a very similar problem with my PSC1510 but only the colour cartridge light is blinking. I am also unable to find any useful information to set up printing in back up mode. Can anyone assist in resolving this problem for us?
    With only one cartridge light blinking I would suspect the cartridge, they do rarely fail (much more often for reman cartridges, see here).  Clean the cartridge contascts as shown here.  If that fails and the cartridge is an original HP then check the warranty date as shown here.  If the cartridge is in warranty return it to your dealer for a warranty replacement.
    The printer will automatically switch to backup mode if the black (or color in some printers) cartridge is removed.  I do not know if this works with the PSC 1510, some all-in-on devices insist on having both cartridges present.
