Incompatible 564XL Black Cartridges

* BEWARE * There are two different varieties of 564XL Black ink cartridges -- only one of which is compatible with my OfficeJet 4620.
Earlier today I bought a bundled 4-cartirdge ink pack at Sam's Club. The three color cartridges fit just fine, but the black cartiridge is a 564XL "Photo Ink" -- this cartridge is just as narrow as the color cartridges, and has a "bow tie" icon.
However, this version of the 564XL Black is NOT COMPATIBLE with many printers that use the wider 564XL black cartridge with a pentagon-shaped icon.
The packaging does not (yet) indicate this incompatibility. Hopefully the packaging will soon be updated to inform sporadic ink consumers like me to exercise caution when purchasing these bundled packages.
BTW: Hat tip to Alberto in HP Tech Support (a Hardware Supervisor) for accepting my complaint and remedying my misguided purchase.

Hi,
Please also note: Many printers use both of them the narrow one called Black Photo ink cartridge. For example the 7510 series and 7520 series and many more.

HP 564 Magenta Ink Cartridge (~ 300 pages)
HP 564 Yellow Ink Cartridge (~ 300 pages)
HP 564XL Black Ink Cartridge (~ 550 pages)
HP 564XL Photo Ink Cartridge (~ 290 4 x 6-in pages)
HP 564XL Cyan Ink Cartridge (~ 750 pages)
HP 564XL Magenta Ink Cartridge (~ 750 pages)
HP 564XL Yellow Ink Cartridge (~ 750 pages).

564XL black cartridge

So I just get back from Costcos with a HP combo cartridge pack that I bought.
My printer uses the 564 cartridge , so I bought the combo 564XL pack. I get home only to find that the black cartridge is not the same as the one I am using now. Apparently the black ony works with the HP photosmart premium and not the HP Photosmart plus. WTF! Why would HP put the 564 part number on a cartridge that does not fit my printer when my printer calls for a 564 part?
I am very frustrated with HP products!

This issue has been discussed at length in this forum, starting with the thread here and continuing in these threads. In later threads there have been suggestions to Contact HP, they may exchange you photo cartridge for a standard black cartridge.

5520 New black cartridge won't print

Just installed a new HP 564xl black cartridge in my 5520 and it will not print anything in black? Shows that it has a full black cartridge? I've run diagnostics and cleaned and alignged and still nothing in black, only color?

Hi - A couple of things you can try. First, follow the steps in this document - at least solution 3 since you've already replaced the cartridge.
If that doesn't resolve the issue, try following the steps, beginning with solution 3 in this document, which will walk you through resetting the printer and cleaning the contacts - even though it is a new cartridge.
Hope that helps.

What is the proper black cartridge for HP6515?

Some sellers that have the black XL, indicate that it is not compatible with printers that use the regular black cartridge.. Other sellers have black HP 564 but say that it is not compatible with the HP Photosmart 6515.
I'm confused. I have not had this problem with any of my other HP printers.
What is black compatible for this printer?

Hi - Check out this page. The Photosmart 6515 will work just fine with both the 564 and 564XL.
Hope that helps.

Hp deskjet ink advantage 3525 cannot recognize 685 black cartridge, others are 655 cartridges

I have printer HP Deskjet Ink advantage 3525. The black cartridge was over and I was sourcing in Bangalore for 655, but couldnt find any where, but was able to get 685 in E-Zone. In the outer cover of 685, it was mentioned that is compatible with HP Deskjet Ink 3525. But after inserting the cartridge, I get a error in the printer - Incompatible Cartridge.
It is also an HP and since it was specified I bought this.
Now tell me the way to proceed.
Thanks

Hello Dharini,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with the ink cartridge.
The reason why you are having an issue with that particular cartridge is because it is out of a different region as what the printer is purchase from.
In order to use the new cartridge, you would have to contact HP directly and have the printer Regionalized.
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.

C4680 says 60XL black cartridge is not the right one. It is a refill. Why is it rejected

C4680 all-in-one says my 60XL black cartridge is not the right one. It is a refill but should work. Why is it rejected?

Hi paulprinter,
I understand you have a Photosmart C4680 that is rejecting your black cartridge that has been refilled. I'm sorry to hear this has been happening, but will certainly do my best to help!
Because the cartridge is refilled, the printer may not accept it. There are definitely still a few things you can try though before having to look into buying another HP cartridge. Please have a look through this 'Cartridge Problem,' 'Cartridge Failed,' or 'Incompatible Cartridge' Message Displays on the Compute... document and hopefully these cleaning steps will assist the printer in accepting the refilled cartridge. I would also recommend, if you can, to plug the printer directly to a wall outlet to ensure it has enough power to function properly.
Hope this helps, have a great day!!

How can i use only black cartridge for printing documents

i have today installed hp 1510 all in one printer, it uses ink from the both cartridges i just want to use black ink for printing documents, how can i do that
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi @sandeepv
I can help you with your print settings, so the printer will print black and white only.
If you have a Mac operating system, use the instructions below.
Printing with the Black Print Cartridge Only option
Click File and then click Print.
Make sure your printer is selected.
Verify that the Preset option is set to Standard.
In the Copies & Pages menu, select Select Paper Type / Quality.
NOTE:If this option is not available, click ColorSync. Then click the down arrow beside Quartz Filter and change the setting from None to Black & White.
Select the Paper tab.
From the Color option menu, select Grayscale.
Select the Color Options tab.
Select the Black Print Cartridge Only option.
If that option is not listed, then it is not available. The printer will print using only the black cartridge, however, printing with one cartridge will be slower than printing with both cartridges.
NOTE:To save the setting, click the arrow next to Preset and select Save As. Save the Preset option as Black Cartridge Only and then click OK. Then, the next time you want to print with just the black cartridge, select the Black Cartridge Only Preset. -Source
If you are using a Windows operating system, use the instructions in the following link. Although this document is titled Changing Print Settings in Windows 8 it can be used for other Windows operating systems. The navigation from Windows 8 to older Windows operating systems would vary, please let me know if you are using a different operating system and/or if you require additional assistance.

Can I print with black cartridge only if colour cartidges are empty on HP C1600 seeries printer?

Can I print using the black cartridge only whilst the colour cartridges are empty? I have a HP Photosmart C1600 series printer and Vista installed on my PC. I have set the Printer preferences to "Grayscale and use Black Cartridge only" but the printer itself is telling me it wont print unless i replace my empty yellow cartridge. I bought a brand new Black cartridge so i could print using black ink only as i dont need to use colour.

Hi,
Many printers from all vendors will not print with just one empty ink cartidge, it doesn't matter which one. Some printers allow users to print but at slower than snail speed. Whichever way, we have to have ink carridges to be able to print (even scan).
Regards.

HI,
I have an HP LaserJet CM415fnw.
I would like to print only with the black cartridge even if I want to print from a phone or tablet, or for anyone that wants to use the printer and doesn't know how to set up the printer to print only in black.
Thank you.

Laserjet pro 400 mfp m425dn says install black cartridge

I have a laserjet pro 400 mfp m425dn that keeps giving "install black cartridge" message. I mistakenly thought it was calling for a new cartridge so I ordered one and installed it. It still gives the message. I could not find anything out of place. I did notice that the left side of the cartridge is slightly raised. (may be my imagination because it is very slight.) Any suggestions???

Hello Sardonnic_Pizza,
I understand your concerns. Unfortunately, for this type of printer, I need to direct you to our Enterprise Business Community Forums. This will be the right section to troubleshoot this issue.
Good luck.

New black cartridge is not printing

I inserted new yellow and black cartridges yesterday. The yellow works but the black is not printing. I took it back to the store, got a new one, and it is still not printing.

I would suggest you Contact HP as described in the post here, even if your printer is no longer under warranty.
If you do not get the issue resolved by calling HP support please post back here with information on the country you are in.

Photosmart Premium C309 printer using Photo black cartridge when it is not printing pictures

My printer has started using the Photo black cartridge a lot more than it used to. I think it is using the Photo Black even when there are no images on the document. I have had the printer for about 4 1/2 years, and it just started doing this in the past six months. I used to only replace that cartridge about every 6 months. Now I have to replace it about every 2 months even though I am not printing images. I replaced the photo cartridge 3 days ago, and it is down about a third, and I have printed no images. I saw something in one of the responses that talked about changing preferences in the Advanced tab of my printer, but the only option I see there for printing is Automatic. I would appreciate any help I can get before my printer sucks up my bank account!

Hi @smithloi , and welcome to the HP Forums!
I see you're experiencing cartridge issues. I would like to help!
I'd recommend removing the cartridges, and performing a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I'd then suggest running the following updates:
Critical Update
HP Update Software Utility
HP Print Software Patch
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
