Hello sergent6013,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that after changing the inks in your Deskjet F2280 that the printer is still showing they're empty. I will try and assist you with this issue.
Here is a document: Blinking Lights, that may be of use to you. It would guide through steps and causes as to what my be going on based on indicators on your printer.
Also, this document: Faded or Dull Colors in Printouts, has a few steps that might be helpful too.
Try a combination of both, and see how things go. If you need further help, or have questions please let me know.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

HP printer 5510 not printing black ink after new cartridges installed

having an issue with the black ink not printing at all..Brand new HP cartridges. cleaned screen with hot water vent is open

Hi 6043kmb,
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 after replacing the cartridge.
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.
Thanks,

HP Photosmart 6510 e-All-in-One Printer Does Not Print Black Ink

I have run all the troubleshooting listed from HP and the "check" warrenty doesn't come up blank. I would like to not have to purchase a new printer to fix this any help would be greatly appreciated:
1) Rebooted Printer
2) Installed new printer cartridge (2nd one) - really not happy about this as that represents almost $50 in HP ink
3) Checked venting - Not the problem
4) From Tools ran head cleaner - still only prints colors (or grey)
I've liked HP printers for a long time, but after reading the forums I'm really seeing an issue with the model I puchased. I don't mind purchasing HP ink and my printer isn't a high volume use printer so I expect it to last beyond 1 year 1 day.
I have the SN and product number available if a tech needs.
Chris

HP Photosmart 6510 series network printer will not print black after changing cartrage

HP Photosmart 6510 series network printer will not print anything that is black or has black in the picture after changing cartridge, all other colors are working properly after changing. Does not look like any damage to the cartridge or the insert where you plug in the ink. The well where the ink pad and the cartridge meet is damp with black ink. So not sure what is going on

Hello dinger57 and welcome to the HP forums!
I understand since changing the black cartridge the black ink has not been printing. I'm sorry to hear this, but I will definitely do my best to lend a hand
I will suggest that you start with following through this Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages document. If the issue persists after that can you please let me know what country you're in and whether the printer is in or out of warranty? Thanks! Please feel free to private message me the country information.
Hope to hear from you soon!

HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install

HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install
Reinstalling etc does not work - does anyone else have the same problem or a clue as to how to fix this?

Keith,
I got a C6280 and the scanner does not work anymore. I am for 6 days in contact with HP. The last printer driver install form the apple web site does not open the image of HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers.dmg because of an invalid checksum. The skipping of the validation gives and error in the install.

Hp Officejet Pro 8500 will print but not anything with black ink. It keeps aligning itself.

My Hp Officejet Pro 8500 will print but not anything with black ink - i have checked the black ink cartridge and it is full. Whenever i print anything in colour (only option) the printer goes into an alignment/maintenace loop that lasts for a long time and does not fix the problem. What should I do?

Clean your printerhesd 4-5 times until the black fully restores. I am on my third complete cleaning and have gone from 0% black to approx. 60-70%. So, it works just takes time.

Photoshop CS5 - colour settings in Print menu not working after update Mac OSX maverick

After upgrading to Maverick OSX on the iMac printing from CS5 via Epson R3880 is not working correctly. In Print Settings menu the drop downs for Colour and Colour Settings are greyed out. I already re-installed PS and installed the new drivers from epson. Any ideas?

but after choosing PS manages color, the options in the print menu for choosing color (color or b&W) and color settings are not available anymore. They used to be the last three years I printed with photoshop/epson 3880.
Instead they are greyed out now.

If Photoshop managed color, then the controls in the printer driver are supposed to be grayed out - that's how Apple specifies drivers to work (because only one party should be managing the print color).
So what you're describing is perfectly normal.

Epson 777i printer will not print

Epson 777i Printer will not print
I am using an imac with the Epson Stylus Color 777i printer,Gutenprint v5.2.3 and also the Epson 580 printer.
Yesterday the 777i stopped printing. It is in the paused mode. I have replaced the ink cartridges and have tried to
perform troubleshooting but, the printer will not respond to any commands. The green light is on, neither of the
other two lights are on.
The 580 printer is working with no problems.
I need some assistance to get the printer back on line if at all possible. I am not too tech smart, but can follow
directions well.

HP Printer will not print in black

I have a MacBook Air. A couple days ago, my HP OfficeJet 6500 Wireless completely stopped printing black ink. The print cartridge is full, and we even took it out, put it back in, ran the diagnostic tests, cleaned, etc. The printer DOES print text in color. Frustrated, we eventually switched the printer with another, my HP 3520. This printer has always worked fine with my MacBook Air. After we connected this one, we found that IT WILL NOT PRINT BLACK EITHER! Only color! So frustrating. What the heck is going on?!

Hi @Lewis77,
I see that you are experiencing a issue with the black cartridge has stopped printing. I would like to help.
Try and print a hardware self test on the printer to find out if it is a hardware or software issue.
Printing a Network Configuration Page.
If the hardware self test prints, then delete and add the printer driver back in again.
Click the Apple menu, and then click System Preferences.
Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer on the left column and click on the - sign to delete that driver.
Then click on the + sign, highlight the printer, make sure below where it says Use, it is selected on your printer name.
Then click on the Add button. (you might have to click the drop down beside Use to select the printer from the list)
Try printing again.
If the hardware self test didn't print in black, please try the following steps in these documents to resolve this issue.
Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages.
This document provides steps for manually cleaning the contacts.

Here are the steps for manually cleaning the printhead.

Are you using Genuine HP Cartridges?
Check the date on the cartridges to make sure they are still in warranty. (not old stock)
Please provide in detail the results if you are still having issues.
Have a nice day!

**HELP** My C309a printer will not print!!

I have a C309a HP Photosmart Premium printer. I operate it thru a wireless att dsl modem. Suddendly, after some HP update, it no longer responds to the Print. I have run several self diagnostics online. Thus, I first made sure the wireless connection is operative (YESI disconnected and reconnected just to make sure) then 1: uninstalled the Printer driver. 2: Installed the CD printer dirver. 3:Unistalled the CD printer driver. 4:Installed and unistalled the HP website drived for windows 7 64 bit (three times). I have called HP tech support and was helped by a friendly guy who had me repeat step 4 two more times . We have concluded A: the the printer is indeed connected to my wireless network. B: the copy feature works on the printer. C:the Scan feature works and successfully uploads the scan onto my computer. However, the the printer will not Print!! When I hit the print button on a document, web page, or anywhere on the computer the printer does nothing!! The test page on the HP site does nothing as well. Not a whisper. Anoher odd thing is that I cannot augment my printer properties (the window that allows you to select draft, black and white printing only, or paper size). When I hit this button I am receiving some OXE..... error window. The HP tech stated that i had to have ink in all of the cartiriges for it to respond to print and attempted to sell me some over the phone. My color and photo black ink have been dry for over 8 months. CAN ANYONE HELP ME???!!!!

Well, I think the simple answer is that, yes, you have to have ink in all of the cartridges for the printer to print.
You can also download and run this: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03286146&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
