Photosmart C8180 - how to remove black ink message window

I recently changed my black ink cartridge and now every time I hit print a window appears saying the cartridge is empty and to replace it. I have to hit "continue" in order to get the printer to print. How do make this window go away? Donna

Hi - You'll have to contact HP Support for assistance with resetting your printer for a different region. This partricular reset should be covered under warranty. Here is the contact information for South Africa. They'll be able to reset the printer so it will accept the cartridges from South Africa.
Hope that helps.

HP Photosmart 5510 will not print Black Ink!! - Time to "break-up" with HP

I came upon this forum by doing a google search for the issue I'm having which is my HP Photosmart 5510 will not print black ink. The printer is a year and a half old and is used only for home office use (not a heck of a lot of printing being done)
It started right after I installed new ink cartridges (all four of them) I want to mention hear that I ONLY buy genuine HP ink cartridges from Staples and when I replace my cartriges I replace all four at the same time even if one ink level is not considered "replaceably" low. When the issue started I thought I must have gotten a bad black cartridge so I went out and bought another one but was still having the issue. So that's when I did my google search.
I tried all the suggestions (several times) on this post (which did not reslove the problem) : http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printing-Issues-Troubleshooting/HP-Photosmart-5510-will-not-print/m-p/1...
and I tried a "Hard Reset" as suggested here (again did not resolve the problem) : http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Ink-Toner-Cartridge-Printhead-Issues/Photosmart-5510-Will-not-print-in-...
After trying all of these my color ink is less than half full....remember....I started with 4 brand new ink cartridges...so now, I'm out roughly $85 in ink just trying to resolve a problem that should not have happened in the first place!! Shame on HP for makeing such poor quality products. I gave up on HP computers years ago and now I'm giving up on their printers!! This HP Photosmart 5510 All In One printer replaced an HP Color Laserjet CM1312nfi printer (which cost approximately $400) that only lasted about 3 years. Sorry HP but that's it....I'm moving on! Consider this our "break-up" letter.

Hi TisKate, sorry to hear that you are having printing issues when it comes to printing in Black. I am also sorry to hear that you are breaking up with HP. I would like to offer a couple more troubleshooting steps before we say our fond farewells. Now this might sound silly but really it isn't. If you have the power cable connected to a Power bar/strip, please remove it and connect the power cable directly to a wall outlet. HP printers already have a built in surge protector and if you have it in a strip/bar, the printer will not get all the power needed to function properly. This can cause printing issues or false error messages on the printer display screen. Here is a document that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
The other step I would like to take is on the printers display touch screen. Please use the right arrow key and go to the Wrench icon. Press the wrench and go to the Tools menu. Once in the Tools menu, please select Clean Printhead. Use the cleaning utility 2-3 times or until you see a change in the print status reports. It might take a few cycles but I am confident that it will make a difference.
I hope you and HP can still be friends( friendly humor).
Thanks for your time.

I've right and left clicked the black window, restarting the computer, shutting down the computer, but the window always appears when I open iPhoto and it will not move or go away.

Which version if iPhoto and MacOS X do you have?
Do you have any iPhoto plug-ins installed?
Open the folder /Library/Application Support/iPhoto/Plugins/
To navigate to that folder, open the folder "Library" directly on your Macintosh HD, then inside the Library folder go to Application Support, then iPhoto. Is there anything installed?

How to remove browser warning message in HTML 5 Cap 8 projects?

How to remove browser warning message in HTML 5 Cap 8 projects?

My conclusion after a morning struggling with this, is that there's no point in suppressing the message if your html5 content then goes on to misbehave in Firefox (like mine does). I've chosen to keep the popup, but change the wording to refer Firefox users to a completely separate Flash version. The wording of the popup is also in CPM.js.
Before you all shout at me, no I can't use the multiscreen.html approach, because my Flash version will have to be non-rescaleable, because web objects don't rescale in Flash.

How to remove HP ink from hands and fabrics

How to remove HP ink from hands and fabrics
Please note that the ink used by HP is a water based ink that will clean easily. Here’s how to remove ink stains from hands and fabric.
NOTE: IMMEDIATELY rinse the stained area with COLD water, and then follow the appropriate instructions.
To remove ink stains from hands:
Wash hands with an abrasive (gritty) soap. Note: It may take several washings.
To remove ink stains from white fabrics:
If ink from an HP Inkjet print cartridge spills on white fabric, use chlorine bleach and cold water to remove the stain, but act quickly.
CAUTION: Use only COLD water. Warm or hot water will "set" the color into the fabric.
To remove ink stains from colored fabrics:
Use sudsy ammonia—a dilute mixture of detergent and ammonia—and cold water. Act quickly and test on an inconspicuous area first.
CAUTION: Use cold water. Warm or hot water will "set" the color into the fabric.
WARNING: Do not mix ammonia and chlorine bleach; this creates a toxic gas!

How to remove black background?

Hi,
How to remove black and gray background found in the attachment(1 page). Thanks.

You can't do it with Acrobat alone. You could if you had Pit Stop or something similar.
If you have Illustrator you could probably open it and remove it there but you'd probably end up getting font substitution if you don't have the same fonts on you system.

HP Photosmart B210a will not print black ink on plain paper... only on photo paper.

Hi, I have an HP Photosmart B210a that wont print black ink. I have used a whole set of ink cartridges by cleaning the print heads, allignment etc. I just installed ALL NEW cartridges and the sae thing is ocurring. I have replaced plenty of cartridges and am experienced. Just all of a sudden one day the printer stopped printing black ink on plain paper documents like with MS Word, excel and PDF, etc. It's not set to greyscale either, actually it wont even print grey! However, if I go to a photo with plenty of black in it, it will print it JUST FINE!!! I'm at my wits end! I have followed EVERY head cleaning advice in the forums but it will not print black in except on photos... Please help!!!!

The document here may help, although you have likley already done most of the steps. Be sure to check the vents. If the above does not resolve black not printing on your Photosmart b210a the post here may help.
The black cartridge uses pigmented ink which is not compatible with photo paper. Although the printer appears to be printing black properly on photo paper it is actually using color mixed together to produce black in this case.

How to remove the pop-up window ''Wireless Radio Status" for t430s

Hi, I have owned my t430s for now about 2 years without any major complaints recently I've had to use the fn + f5 function quite frequently, because of my poor internet connection. so that way i can reset which signal I want to choose because the default signal I am connected to is not mine. My problem is similar to what is posted here: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-Tablet-and-Helix/how-to-remove-the-pop-up-window-Wireless-Radio-Status/td-p/1191059 I really want to get rid of the pop up for this feature, I've tried to follow what the other thread user's have done and try out their solutions but it does not work for my t430s i tried changing the pmev thing to what was posted in the thread. Can anyone help me? Thanks!

I already tried that as mentioned in my original post, it doesn't work. I still get the pop up message: this is me pressing fn + f5

Photosmart 7520 options issue: How to print black ink, on both sides, with borderless.

I am checking to see if anyone has ever found a solution to the issue involved with borderless printing when the options "print on both sides" and "black ink only" are chosen.
I used to be able to print on both sides, flip on long edge, and choose black ink only, and I was able to print borderless. There was never an issue until last year, when out of the blue a yellow warning triangle appeared next to borderless printing. I do not know why this happened, and I was never able to solve the issue, even with two hour-long conversations with polite and tireless HP phone reps. One HP rep even helped me download a driver for a newer printer to see if that helped, and it did not.
Now in order to print without the extra border, I have to do the following in order to receive the regular output:
1. After saving, I make a custom border that is .75 inches all the way around instead of one inch.
2. I increase the font size of every block of print by .5 in size.
3. Then I print, but I do not save; when I close, it saves as it was before the changes I made to ameliorate the HP options mishap.
If any HP technician our here can tell me when this issue will be addressed and solved, I would appreciate it.
Oh, I run an Acer laptop with Windows 7, the 64-bit version. I use the wireless printing option. This issue occurs with my Word Program (2013), and my up-to-date Adobe .pdf files.
Thank you very much.

Hey there PrincessCupcake!
Thanks for the detailed post back to me.
If this was at one time an option for you and now is not, it would make sense to me that an update of some sort had made the option null and void for you, especially if you have completely uninstalled the printer driver and software and then reinstalled it. If the option was going to be available, doing the uninstall and reinstall would have fixed it in a jiffy.
I am out of ideas as to any other cause besides an update, as you mentioned. If you have installed the printer on another computer, see if the options are there, if not, they aren't available.
Happy Monday to you

HP Photosmart 6510 isn't printing black ink either.. what is the way to fix this?

I have a HP Photosmart 6510 and have now purchased three new HP approved 564xl Black Ink cartridges, and they won't print,, the colors print fine... I don't recall when I bought this specifically, but it has to be within the last 2-3 years... I am very hopeful someone has solved this, as I see way too many people with the same issue
Please Help!

@2jjunior
I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message after the weekend from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post ( serial numbers and case details)

HP Photosmart 5510 will not print black ink

MY HP 5510 printer refuses to recognize the black ink cartridge. I purchased a brand new cartridge (genuine HP - not a generic brand or a refill), took it straight out of the box, removed all of the wrapping and installed it. I also tried unplugging the printer and then restarting it. I receive a message on the printer screen saying that the black cartridge is "missing or damaged" and I am incapable of moving beyond that screen. I purchased a second cartridge and received the same result. I looked on Google and found over 25 entries of people describing the same problem. I called the Support center and they had me do all of the steps I had previously done, then graciously recommended I buy another printer from them. How do I resolve this?

My HP Photosmart 6510 won't print black ink

Tried to add a response to the existing link for this issue, but couldn't find a way to do that. Maybe I'm just blind. Nonetheless, here are my answers to the information that has been requested:
1. Which model HP printer you have. = 6510
2. Whether you have followed the steps in the Printer Prints a Blank Page or Does Not Print Black or Color Ink document for your printer and whether the steps worked or not (just Google that document title along with the name of your printer to locate the right document). = Yes, tried them. No, they didn't work.
3. What country you reside in. = USA
4. Whether the printer is in or out of warranty. = Yes, it is.
Seems like this is a fairly significant issue in the market. I hope a countermeasure is being developed.
Thanks for your help.

HP Photosmart 6510 will not print black ink

I am 6 months past my warranty and suddenly the printer stopped printing in black ink. Up to this point, I was very satisfied with the printer. I have tried all of the instructions from the support manual, but to no avail. This appears to be a common issue on the discussion board. Very frustrating.... Please let me know how to fix it.  It would be nice if one of the HP reps, who have responded to all of these postings, would post the fix for this instead of having a private chat with the individual.

Hi folks, 'm sure this has been a frustrating experience for you. I'd like to help. Please begin with the steps in the following document; Printer Prints a Blank Page or Does Not Print Black or Color Ink for the HP Deskjet Ink Advantage an... If you complete, or have already completed 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
Based on the comments, it looks like this will help  King_Zog wrote:
I tried most of the suggestions in this thread, but stopped short of disassembling the print head. Nothing worked until I saw the video referenced in Sunshyn2005's message. That did work, but not on my first try. For the second attempt, I left the wet paper towels in place for a couple of hours to really soak the print heads. That did the trick. So, thank you Sunshyn2005, for pointing me to the solution.   - Source 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. If this resolves the issue, please let me know so we can help others who may be experiencing the same issue.
