OJ6500 Wireless won't print black anymore

It sayd the cartridge is full, I even put another new one in there, but when I go to print the windows test page, only the color "flag" prints out.  Any other page only prints the color - not the black stuff.  Is there anything I can do to fix this or do I just need to go "office space" on it (especially since I can't use it in wireless mode b/c it constantly can't be found, hangs up in the middle of printing, or prints 500+ pages of just the first inch of any page I want to print when I have it connected to the router wirelessly)?

  • MX892 won't print black

    My MX892 won't print black anymore. I have tried both the cleaning and deep cleaning procedures several times. And I have changed the ink cartridges to new ones.  Still nothing. Any suggestions on what to try next? The colors work just fine.

    Hi salachic,
    Because you have replaced the ink tanks and performed cleanings and you still are unable to print black with your PIXMA MX892, it is recommended that you contact live technical support . There is NO charge for this call. Please dial 1-866-261-9362, Monday - Friday 10:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m. ET (excluding holidays).

  • Won't print black

    My photosmart 5510d all in one gradually stopped printing black. I have replaced the cartridge twice and run the printhead cleaning feature on the tools three times. It still won't print black. It prints color just fine. The printer is not under warranty anymore. 

    Cleaning the printhead as described in the video in the post here may help resolve black not printing on your Photosmart 5510.

  • C4680 All in one won't print black

    C4680 printer shows low black ink level, and won't print black.  Prints color fine.
    Already have tried the following:
    Printer stopped printing a letter, showed low black ink level.
    Purchased and installed new black ink cartridge, still won't print black, still low black ink indicator
    Did printer cleaning three times.  No help
    Switch off, remove cables etc as recommended on  HP site.  No help.
    Completely deleted printer from devices and reinstalled.  No help.
    Called HP help, after 30 minutes of BS told me cartridge was low after I told him three time I had just bought and installed a new one. 
    It will not copy black either
    Any new ideas?
    Thanks.

    Clara- I did call phone support as I stated in my post; and their response was extremely irritating, just like your last post. Told Surha the  phone guy all that I had already done and he kept telling me to do the same things.  Didn't even say, I know you did this but let's  try it again. 
    I clearly stated in my post that I purchased and installed a new ink cartridge, didn't help.    I appreciate your trying to help on your own time possibly, but  READ THE POST.  I am aggravated because I have a problem and you are telling me to do things that I have already done that didn't help.
    If you have something new to suggest, great, that's why I am contacting HP.  If not just say, "yeah you have tried everything that they tell us to go through.  You may need to take in to a service depot or just buy a new printer.  Sorry."
    By the way, there are several reports on other internet sites of the same problem with no solution.  HP obviously has no clue.  Hope someone in engineering or wherever is looking into this.

  • HP Officejet 6000 Wireless - Does not print black correctly.

    HP Officejet 6000 Wireless - Does not print black correctly.
    Previously the printer was printing fine.
    This evening I printed a diagram I made in MS PowerPoint. The diagram contained black and red text along with black, red, and blue lines. When I took the printed page from the printer, all the black items looked faded. Instead of black, they printed as a light, faded gray. The red and blue printed correctly.
    Another user of the printer printed some documents around the same time. These documents had nothing but black text. Every page this user printed showed up completely blank. The black was not even faded. There were no signs of anything being printed on the pages at all.
    It seemed strange that one print job would print faded black and the other printed nothing. Considering the possibility that the ink was low, a new black cartridge was placed into the printer. The exact same results occured. My diagram printed correctly except for the fact that the things that were supposed to be black were coming up as light gray. Once again, the documents printed by the other user came up completely blank.
    I ran a print test on the printer. It printed a Windows logo with the word "Windows" below. The logo printed correctly. The text showed up as a light, faded gray.
    A third user printed an Excel spreadsheet. The cell borders were printed as a light gray. Nothing else printed. Everything in the spreadsheet was supposed to be black.
    The third user also printed a recipe from MS Word. Most of the text showed up as a light, faded gray. Some text did not show up at all. I could not see any correlation between what showed up in faded gray and what did not show up.
    It seems to me that if something was wrong with the cartridges, it would either always be faded or not print at all. I can consistently get some things to print faded and other things to not print at all. Color always prints correctly.
    The print jobs were sent to the printer wirelessly from three different computers. Two computers run Windows 7 (x64). The third computer runs Windows XP SP2.
    As far as I can tell, nothing was changed or done differently between now and the last time something printed correctly.
    Might this be a driver issue? Since the printing consistently prints one way for certain files and another way for other files, I don't see it as being caused by hardware. If it's not a software issue, what could possibly cause the effects I described above?

  • PIXMA iP4300 won't print black.

    PIXMA iP4300 won't print black. New ink, nozzles cleaned, buffers cleared. Help?

    Hi rrrb, Please make sure that the installed ink tanks are correct and full of ink. The correct order is: CLI-8Bk Black
    PGI-5Bk Black
    CLI-8Y Yellow
    CLI-8M Magenta
    CLI-8C Cyan Next, a test of the printer should be performed. The Nozzle Check pattern shows if each print head nozzle is operating properly. Please perform the following steps to print a Nozzle Check pattern: 1. Turn the printer on and make sure paper is loaded into the sheet feeder. 2. On your printer, press and hold the RESUME button until the printer light blinks twice. When you release the button, the Nozzle Check pattern will be printed. 3. After the Nozzle Check pattern is printed, compare the results to this example:  If any colors are missing or if any horizontal lines appear in the color bars, perform the print head cleaning procedure.  To perform a print head cleaning with the printer, please follow these instructions: 1. On your printer, press and hold the RESUME button until the printer light flashes one time. 2. When you release the RESUME button, the POWER light starts flashing and all colors will be cleaned. This will continue for about 30 seconds. 3. Wait for the light to stop flashing before you resume normal operation. Once you have completed two cleanings, please perform another Nozzle Test. If colors are still missing, please contact our support group using the following link:

  • HP officejet 6500 wireless suddenly stopped printing black ink.

    HP Officejet 6500 wireless has stopped printing black ink.  Followed all troubleshooting steps to no avail. Prints colors but black is either very faint or not present

    Welcome to the forums Irgoodspeed
    I saw your post about your Oj 6500 Wireless no longer printing in black ink. I noticed you have already changed the cartridge which did not help.
    I would recommend following this troubleshooting guide:
    Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages
    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.

  • Photosmart 5200 won't print black ink

    Hi there, I purchased the printer just over a year ago. It hasn't been used much at all. For the last few months I have continuously changed the black ink cartridge as it is saying it is empty or low and it still won't print black. The colour functions fine. I have tried all the settings options of cleaning and aligning and it doesn't make any difference. I only print via air print from iPhone and iPad, and the documents sent are extremely basic word docs. The printer is in perfect condition and I am out of warranty. Please can you advise how to fix as I rely on the printer for my invoices! Thanks

    Hello, 
    Since you have replaced Black ink cartridges and tried performing Clean Printhead and issue still exists, i'd suggest you to call HP Tech Support for further assistance.
    If you are in US , the toll free # is 1-800-474-6836 .
    If you are not in US , then log on to www.hp.com , at bottom-left corner there is a world map icon, click on it and then select the region you belong to, which would then provide support options for you for that region.

  • HP Photosmart 6510 won't print black ink

    I changed the ink cartridge in my printer and it won't print black ink now.
    I have used almost an entire cartridge of my color inks running alignments and cleaning the printhead. I have also cleaned the print head with a cotton swab and some warm water.
    I have delted the software and reinstalled it.
    I have always used HP cartridges.
    The printer is out of warranty. I'm in the US.
    I have also ran every reset I can find online, nothing is working.
    I appreciate your help as I am a broke college student and can't really afford a new printer at the moment.
    Thanks!

    Hello @valster101 and welcome to the HP Forums!
    One thing I see that hasn't been tried is checking the vents on the cartridges. Please have a look through this Printer Prints a Blank Page or Does Not Print Black or Color Ink for the HP Photosmart 6510 e-All-in...s document to make sure you have tried all of these steps at one point or another.
    If it still won't print black after that, just let me know and I'll do my best to get you a resolution

  • Photosmart 7520 won't print black, says I have half a cartridge

    My printer won't print black (regular, not photo black).  The ink level says I have half a cartridge.  I have tried cleaning the heads so many times but no change.  I tried to find an answer in the help section of HP and had no luck.  I tried to contact HP but was told because my printer was out of warranty in January I would have to pay to talk to someone.  Can anyone help?  I'm  disappointed in HP, charging people to talk to customer service is ridiculous. 

    The steps in the document here may help resolve black not printing on your Photosmart 7520 printer.  Be sure to check the vents as shown in Solution Six.
    If the above does not resolve the issue then soaking the printhead as described in the post here may help.

  • HP Photosmart Premium C310 won't print black

    My printer won't print black.  I've replaced all cartridges, removed and then reinstalled printer driver, and cleaned cartridges 3x.  After first time cleaning cartridges, the test sheet had black print, but some lines were better than others.  After the 2nd time, no black at all printed.  After 3rd time, no black at all printed.  What next?

    Hi , Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you are unable to print in black ink on your HP Photosmart Premium C310, you have done some troubleshooting with no success. Please make sure you have not missed any steps listed here: Printer Prints a Blank Page or Does Not Print Black or Color Ink for the HP Photosmart Premium e-All-in-One Printer Series (C310) If you complete all of the steps in the document above and the issue continues, my own personal recommendation, not one of HPs, is to use the solution offered in the following video.  I only suggest doing this if the printer is out of warranty; How to fix a HP Printer, not printing black ink and missing colours  Although the printer might be out of warranty, if the issue persists, HP may be able to offer you something. Maybe they can offer you a discount on an alternate model. If you are in Canada or US call 800 474 6836, or you can Contact HP Worldwide. HP printers generally have a 1 year warranty from their purchase date, you can verify the warranty using the following link if you would like; warranty check.  I hope this helps. If this resolves the issue, please let me know so we can help others who may be experiencing the same issue.

  • 6150 All-in-One won't print black

    My HP Photosmart 6150 All-In-One won't print black. There is a new black cartridge and all the other inks are fine as well.  I've cleaned the printhead 3 times and all that printed was yellow.  I then  ran an alignment. The alignment failed, but it wasn't because of a paper issue. The manual says it could be that the printhead assembly or the sensor is defective. Is it worth getting that fixed, or should I just get a new printer? I've had this one for 8 years and it's worked great until now.

    Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I noticed that your HP Photosmart c6150 will not print black. I am happy to look into this issue for you!  According to this guide, Color Mix or Missing Colors on the Diagnostic Page, it states: Missing colors occur when the printhead nozzles dry out. Since you have tried cleanign the printhead multiple times, and the issue is still occuring, I would consider having the printer serviced/or replaced. Please contact HP, phone support for further assistance. (After you fill out the information, you will be given a phone number.) If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless - won't print an iTunes Playlist.

    No matter what I do, my new OJ Pro 8000 Wireless will not print an iTunes Playlist. I googled this and found that there is at least one other HP model with the same problem and no known solution. That really blows, considering how ubiquitous iTunes is. HP should solve this.

    i have about 11 of these crappy printers on my site, i think i have sent more back to HP than i have actively working.
    the current issue i have is also the black printing problem, its getting to the point where im considering recommending another supplier. HP's quality have gone though the floor with the recent crap they are producing..
    cartridges are fine, even though the Hp rep i spoke to blamed the issue on the cartridge, it works fine in another machine, and a new cartridge also has the same fault. the print heads are also fine & replaced & tested in a working machine, same fault. all the cleaning pages & stages made no differance.
    only solution - wave good bye and post it back to HP - yet again..
    come on HP you used to care about your products and your customers, but lately you just churn our any piece of rubbish.
    why have you let your standard slip soo far.. why dont you care about your customers anymore.
