Photosmart 5510 not recognizing new black ink cartridge

My Photosmart 5510 does not recognize when I've installed a new black ink cartridge.  The front panel indicates that the black ink is now full but when I print a test sheet or anything else, the black ink does not come out.  I've tried (and potentially wasted) three different ink cartridges.
Any suggestions or is it just time for another (disposable) printer?

Maybe time to call HP and talk to them now.

  • Officejet 6500APlus not recognizing replaced black ink cartridge

    Officejet6500APlus - E710n
    Black ink low and replaced with genuine HP cartridge. Message on screen acknowledged genuine
    HP cartridge replaced. Printed ink report and no black ink printed. Removed and re-installed cartridge, double-checked that it snapped into place and did the print head cleaning process. Still not printing black.

    I would suggest the troubleshooting steps in this page to address black not printing in your Officejet 6500 e710n.  Be sure to check the vent is not clogged.  If the above does not resolve the issue the post here may help.

  • HP Photosmart Premium Fax All-in-One Printer-C309a-new black ink cartridge will not print

    i just installed a new black ink cartridge (manufactured by HP) when print quality became poor in the middle of a job.  it completed the job fine, but when i have tried to print subsequently, only those parts of the document that are in color/greyscale will print.  the black is simply absent from the document.  the supply level is showing as fine and all diagnostics indicate there is no probem.  i have not received any error messages.  i have tried turning the printer on/off.  i have tried cleaning the printheads.  i have tried uninstalling & reinstalling the cartridge.  i do not have any additional black cartridges to try to see if that will solve the problem, but as noted above, it did work initially.  i am just printing to regular plain white printer paper.  i have tried all the relevant steps in the HP troubleshooting document for poor print quality posted elsewhere on this page.  nothing has worked!  someone else's post mentioned resetting the printer, but did not say how it was done.  any ideas on a solution??? thanks!
    This question was solved.

    To reset the printer, follow these steps:
    While the power is on, remove the power cord from the back of the printer. Wait at least 30 seconds, then connect the power cord to the back of the printer, then turn the unit on. That will complete a power reset.
    Now, missing black during printing can be a result of a couple of things. If it is only missing say when printing from Word, then the print settings within Word are set to grayscale only (or something similar) which would exclude the black cartridge. If it is from all programs, then it is either the main print settings set to grayscale only, or the printhead/cartridge is clogged up/dirty. If it is not the print settings, then create a print quality report and follow the steps in this document:

  • Photosmart C7280 All-In-One won't recognize new black ink cartridge

    Black ink was very close to running out, purchased a new one and replaced it. Now whenever I try and print something I get a popup that says: "Install new black ink cartridge if available. To continue with other colors, press Continue. Black color will be simulated. Text and photo quality will differ from those printed when using all cartridges. If empty ink cartridge is not replaced soon, all printing will stop. To cancel, press the Cancel button on printer."
    I've tried turning it off and back on, taking all the cartridges out and putting them back in, etc. I printed a test page and black prints just fine, but whenever I try to print from Ctrl+P I get that error. How do I solve this problem?

    Thank you for your updated information.
    Since you are able to print from you computer and the printer isn't indicating this message, then I would recommend uninstalling the software. I will provide a HP document here to help you. (If this printer is connected by a USB cable, then please remove it from the computer.)
    Next, please clean your Temp folder on your computer. I will provide a document on performing this step here.
    Now, install the full feature software from the HP website here. Make sure you choose your correct operating system; Either 32 bit or 64 bit. I will also provide a HP document on Installing the Printer software; Either USB or Wireless Connection.
    This should remove this error message you are receiving. Please let me know if you are still receiving the same message.
    Looking forward to hearing from you.

  • HP 5510 wil not print in black ink after installing a new black ink cartridge

    My HP 5510 printer will not print in black ink after installing an official HP black ink cartridge.  I see other people have had the same problem.  I have gone through all the troubleshooting suggestions.  
    I would like to know if anyone has been able to fix this problem.  I just spend money on a new XL cartridge.  Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. 

    Hi @obxgirl,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you are running into some print quality issues on your HP Photosmart 5510, you are unable to print in black ink.
    I would like you to continue here: Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages, I understand you may have done some of these steps already but I need you to complete all steps in order to resolve the missing black issue you are experiencing.
    Please note: There are three printhead cleaning stages. Complete all three stages if necessary. If the printhead is badly clogged, it might require another cleaning cycle. If so, wait 30 minutes after the last (third) cleaning stage to start the first stage of the cleaning process over again.
    If you are still unable to print in black ink, I suspect the issue may be the printer and not the cartridge. Please let me know which Country/Region you are in as well as the product Warranty status: HP Warranty Checker
    I hope to hear from you soon.

  • DeskJet 5550 won't print after installing new black ink cartridge.

    I recently got a new Dell computer with Windows Vista 64-bit OS.  Printer was working fine until I replaced the black ink cartridge.  It printed out the check page like normal after installing the cartridge but will not print anything else now.  Not even a test page.  I tried pulling the cartridge out and putting it back in.  Tried unplugging the plugs on the back of the printer and plugging back in.  Tried turning the printer off and back on.  Also tried restarting the computer.  I downloaded the HP Print Diagnostic Report and it could not find any problems.  Could there be a problem with the ink cartridge itself?
    This question was solved.

    Well first I went and bought another black ink cartridge to rule out the cartridge being the problem.  That was not it.  So then I unplugged the printer and cleaned it thoroughly and plugged it back in.  Still didn't work.  So I went into the properties on my printer and started messing with the settings.  FINALLY I FIXED IT!  I clicked on the Advanced Tab and then clicked on Print Processor.  I then changed it to WinPrint and retried the Print Test Page on the General Tab and it worked!  Woo Hoo!

  • HP 5514 not printing with brand new black ink cartridge

    Ok so I have the same issue as everyone else here - new cartridges but won't print - specifically black. Other colors print fine. Cartridges have expiration of 2016 and were made in China. I put a new one in last night - got 2 pages printed out and all was good, color printed, black printed. Woke up this morning and no black - nothing, nada, zilch. I did everything recommended - multiple passes on cleaning, checked vent holes, etc etc etc...have now lost most of my color ink from printing the test pages - still no black. 
    So my unit of course is out of warranty - so now what? Like the others - product was not overly used - a few pages a week - nothing massive. So it should still have life left you would think.
    Next steps please? Really can't afford a new printer no matter how cheap they are these days...and with no warranty - what are my available options????
    Thanks - btw I worked for HP for a number of years in a small division if that gets me any brownie points....

  • New black ink cartridge not working

    I have installed new ink cartridges and all the colour ones work but the black will not print out. Level of ink is fine, touching where the ink comes out is wet and black as is where it goes in on printer, but will not print out black at all only colours. Any ideas as to why?

    I see that you are having some issues with your new black cartridge. I will be happy to help. I have included an HP document below for just this issue.
    Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink or Print Blank Pages
    If that doesn't work you should contact HP Total Care as ink has its own warranty. HP Total Care can be reached at 1-800-474-6836 in North America or visit this link if you live outside of North America.

    Failing that, is the printer still within warranty?

  • My printer will not print in black even though i put in a new black ink cartridge.

    my printer will only print things in color. Black print will not show up at all or only very faintly. I installed a new HP cartridge.

    I have a C310a printer and quit printing black suddenly.  I tried everything even a new hp black cartiidge.
      Does anyone out there have any answers?

  • New black ink cartridge will not print from computer or glass.

    Able to print from word documents, e-mails.  But cannot print off from glass copy face or internet web sites.

    To reset the printer, follow these steps:
    While the power is on, remove the power cord from the back of the printer. Wait at least 30 seconds, then connect the power cord to the back of the printer, then turn the unit on. That will complete a power reset.

  • Officejet pro 8000 not recognizing brand new HP black ink cartridge

    Hi. My officejet pro 8000 is not recognizing a brand new HP brand black ink cartridge. The black ink indicator remains lit and it will not print. I have unplugged the printer, but this did nothing. It is wierd, when I open the door where the cartridges are, the light goes out, it only goes on again when I close that door. The printer was working perfectly until this . Any helpful hints? Thanks so much.

    Hello chx2,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand your Officejet 8600 is not recognizing your brand new black ink cartridge. I will do my best to assist you! Please make sure this printer is plugged into a direct wall. I just want to see if this makes a difference.
    Next, please follow these steps in order:
    1) Remove all ink cartridges from the printer, then close the door
    2) Remove the power cord from the printer (Do not press the power button)
    3) Please clean the ink cartridges by following this HP document here. (Also, make sure you have completed all the steps from this document)
    4) Wait 60 seconds or more, then plug the power cord back in
    5) Wait for the printer to turn on completely, then install the ink cartridges
    6) Try to print a document
    Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you.
