Which printer do you have specifically? HP makes several eprinters and I want to make sure I get the best information for you that I can.
Also, have you tried doing a self test print to see if the issue is hardware related versus being software related?

How to align with new ink cartridges, deskjet F4480

I am having trouble with my printer doing the alignment after I put in 2 new ink cartridges. The help section to align gave me instructions but they didn't work. I just downloaded/installed my printer device driver update to see if that would help. NO luck so far. Mu printer is a F4480 Deskjet

Hello @huidel,
Welcome back to the HP Support Forums! I see you are trying to align the cartridges on your HP Deskjet F4480, you have tried following the steps and updating the driver with no success.
1. What is your current Operating system, Windows or Mac and which version?
2. How did you install the DJ F4480, using the software CD or download?

Wont print black, even with new cartridge

Officejet 4620 running mac Maveric, I have worked every step in the trouble shooting page. Reinstalled the driver. Restarted both computer and printer. This problem started very abrubtly. I doubt this is involved, but it started right after an adobe update of some kind. all other colors seem to work fine. The cartridge read 75% full but I tried installing a new one anyway and got the same result. Any help is much appreciated.

I've also done all the above with no results. I noticed that my black was beginning to fade until there was nothing. If the printhead is dead - which is cheaper? have is replaced or buy a new printer?
Hi Bill, which printer model do you have? Is it within warranty? Typically warranty is ~1yr from date of purchase. You should be able to check by entering the serial no. below...

I have an Apple wireless keyboard that will not turn on, even with new batteries. The contacts seem fine. What could be the problem?

My wireless keyboard will not turn on despite new batteries. It is about 8 years old. The contacts seem to be good. What could be the problem?

Hi elljohnson,
It is important when replacing discharged batteries in the Apple Wireless Keyboard to make sure the new batteries are oriented correctly. See this article for directions -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Photosmart printer not printing out new ink colours

Hey guys, I own a HP Photosmart b109a and have for a couple of years with no issues.
About 4 days ago we brought some new ink cartridges for the printer as it had run out of colour ink and we were wanting to print out photos since we had heaps of photo paper and had thought it would work out cheaper than going to a store and paying for heaps of prints.
It was the correct ink used but on the first print everything came in shades of blue, no other colour had printed, so after removing the printhead I noticed it had been covered in blue ink as if it had leaked, so I cleaned it as shown online, but then only the black ink would print. I tried printing things with colour only and it would print but come out blank?
No issue with the ink would pop up and cartridges were shown to be full.
After much messing around I finally found how to do a cleaning cycle but only ran one as I didn't want to waste ink and didn't know if it would work.
Eventually the blue and yellow ink started to print and my photos came up as green in colour, but still no Magenta.
After moving from house to house I no longer have the disc to this printer so can't run the HP solution centre as it refuses to find the printer which my Windows 7 has found. I can't even remember how I found the cleaning cycle to try and do it again.
I've tried running many washes and printing heaps of coloured pages but the most I got was magenta appearing as a faded yellow.
So last night I tried to soak the head in hot water overnight as someone insisted it was clogged, which it also looked to be. This morning it was again a lot cleaner but now no colour will print! Only black ink!!
Any help with what can be done!? Getting these photos printed is super important as it's due to a loss of a family member and after paying for new ink that can't be returned, we can't afford to print at a store
Thanks in advance!

No one has a solution? Might just add, an old Calidad cartridge that requires you to carefully remove the chip of an old cartridge then add it to theirs, works perfectly in my printer right now....? the other inks don't want to work though....?

Brand new ink cartridges, cleaned, still not printing

Recurring problem on this printer, nothing helps. Brand new ink cartridges, cleaned the inkheads twice, read though solutions for de-clogging the vents. Able to print documents fine this morning, now---nothing. Black ink not printing. Frustrating, this is a recurring problem and am tired of going through more ink. Ran alignment, just says "alignment failed" but no solutions offered/no troubleshooting given. Suggestions?

Hi @OL5,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that your HP Photosmart is not printing black. I am sorry to hear this, but happy to help!
For further assistance, I will need to know:
The Product/Model Number of your printer. Follow instructions in this link. Finding Your HP Product Model Number.
If the printer is connected, Wireless, or USB.
If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
If you are using genuine HP ink cartridges, or refills.
Once I know this information, I will be happy to do some further research for you.
Thank you for posting!

6510 all in one photosmart printer - not printing black and/or not at all after 7/22/15 update....

Printer not printing in black at all, poor color print since 7/22/15. I have downloaded drivers and software, hard reset the printer (power cord out and unplugged then plugged all back in), read all the forums, watched youtube videos, called friends, googled answers, bought new ink (waste of money), cleaned print head multiple times, did every step on every forum post to no avail... Bought a new printer but really would rather return it and get my money back after getting this printer up and running again- why because I think the problem is due to HP and the new update released 7/22/15! I'm very upset, I have spent countless hours attempting to fix this printer (which I really do love up until now). I have lost credit on school assignments due to printing issues, wasted money on ink (that is really expensive) and wasted the ink trying to fix it running test page after test page. I feel like this is not fair to the consumer and I am very upset. I am ready to throw this thing in the street and smash it to pieces with a baseball bat at this point. I really would rather fix it but apparently this is the only way to contact someone. I have had this printer for 3 years and do not think I need to replace it or spend money to call someone from HP to fix it nor do I feel like I need to have it "serviced", nor do I wish to waste any futher time or money on the expensive ink this printer requires.
