PSC 1510 All in One won't print black

Had printer for couple of years. Suddenly has decided doesn't want to print black. Tried everything. Have noticed other HP models on forum have same problem. One tag mentioned taking colour cartridge out and then it prints in black. Tried this but printer goes into fault mode as soon as I take colour cartridge out.
Any other ideas?

OK, if there is some black after manually cleaning the nozzles then the problem is the cartridges, not the printer. I would suggest running up to 3 cleaning cycles from the front panel. If this does not fix the problem then likely you need a new HP cartridge.

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.)

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.
Bill

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 1315 all-in-one won't print black

1315 all-in-one prints text in green (instead of black), prints multi colored documents in green and yellow. Both cartridges are new. Prints test page fine. Extended self test:

Also printer runs a test page each time it is turned on.

Hi,
I think this document might help you with your colors and with the printing a test page each time you turn it on.
Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues
For your colors not matching - follow solutions 1 through 4
Solution 5 and Step 5 on Align the Printer - make sure you follow the steps all the way to the end of this by scanning the alignment page. This should stop the printing of a test page each time you turn it on.
See if this helps...

5510 all in one won't print black ink

Hello guys,
I see that this issue has come up before, sorry for being a broken record!
My HP 5510 is not printing black, and I have followed the troubleshooting steps on this board. I am very frustrated because I am 3 months out of the 1 year warranty, and I for troubleshooting purposes, I purchased nearly $55 worth of ink! I have no idea if Best Buy will take it back since the cartridges are opened and installed in my printer.
What options do I have to get a working printer?

Photosmart 5510 All In One won't print black

One week ago I copied an A4 page and it worked. Last night, I tried to copy something and I realised that the printer has black ink issues. At first I thought that the printhead is dry so I did a printhead clean without any results. Then I thought that the cardrige may be empty, so I filled it, and then I did a printhead clean again. Neither this time. And then I saw that there are other people that have the same problem. The question is: What to do now?
I use the original cardriges that came with the printer and some good ink. It is the first time since Nov 2012 when I have this problem with the printer.

For the Photosmart 5510 the troubleshooting steps in the document here may help. Especially make sure the vents are cleared. If that does not resolve the issue then resetting the printer as described in the post here may help. If this does not resolve the issue then read the entire thread here and try requesting reset instructions.
I am concerned about your comment "good ink". If you have refilled the cartridge there are various possibilities that could damage the printhead, including air in the supply or printhead, incompatible ink and a host of other issues.

PSC 1510 All in one printer - won't print even black and white when colour cartridge not recognised

My PSC 1510 All in one printer is flashing the "check printer cartrige icon" and both "Black" and "Colour" icons at the bottom left of the printer.
It won't print at all, even when I select grayscale (black and white). The help pages tell me that if I remove the colour cartridge the printer will switch to backup mode and I'll still be able to print in black and white (though not copy or scan). But this is not the case, and I can find no way of switching manually to backup mode. The help pages have no useful explanation of backup mode. I've also tried cleaning the cartridge (which I'm pretty sure isn't empty) but that makes no difference.
Can anyone help? I'd be very grateful.

gabri21 wrote: I have a very similar problem with my PSC1510 but only the colour cartridge light is blinking. I am also unable to find any useful information to set up printing in back up mode. Can anyone assist in resolving this problem for us?
With only one cartridge light blinking I would suspect the cartridge, they do rarely fail (much more often for reman cartridges, see here). Clean the cartridge contascts as shown here. If that fails and the cartridge is an original HP then check the warranty date as shown here. If the cartridge is in warranty return it to your dealer for a warranty replacement.
The printer will automatically switch to backup mode if the black (or color in some printers) cartridge is removed. I do not know if this works with the PSC 1510, some all-in-on devices insist on having both cartridges present.

Paper feed out of sync on HP PSC 1510 All-in-One Printer Scanner

Paper feed out of sync on HP PSC 1510 All-in-One(SN MY59SD224W0498). Goes to flashing orange light. With Vista Home Premium 32-bit, 6.0.6002 Service Pack 2 Build 6002. USB connection to HP Pavilion GU658AA-ABU a6250.uk .
After cleaning ink drip tray including removing & refitting the small panel in the base towards the rear RHS of the printer and also Super Glueing a small wedge of timber to close split shaft bearing for rear print feed rollers - looking from rear with clean out door removed this is at the LHS where the cogs are - paper feed is out of sync. When turned on with paper in feed tray printer draws in paper until about 2" (5cm) of paper protrudes from delivery slot & then stops. Paper jam is indicated by flashing orange light. On pressing Cancel/Resume, paper is expelled & another sheet taken in with the same results. Have turned off & restarted. Have moved cartridge cleaner tray right from front to rear & tested & then brought it right forward again & tested. Have turned off & unplugged power & USB & restarted after more than 30 minutes. Have uninstalled driver & downloaded & installed anew. Downloaded & ran the HP Print Diagnostic Utility. All to no avail. Any suggestions anyone?

Hi there nobster,
This article should cover the blinking light. However, I suspect the printer requires servicing.
Best of Luck!

Windows RT and HP PSC 1510 All-in-One printer connection

Hi, I have a Windows 8.1 RT tablet (Microsoft Surface 2) and a wired HP PSC 1510 All-in-One printer. Now when I plug in the printer via the USB, there is no driver that can be found to make this printer work with my device. Anyone have this problem or any solutions? I've tried looking at HP support and nothing there has been helpful.
Let me add that on the Microsoft Surface, you cannot run .EXE files which are the file types of the HP drivers.
Thanks ahead
This question was solved.

Hi,
I afraid the printer is not supported on Windows RT, as you may find listed within the following support document:

HP PSC 1510 All in One Feeding Problem

I own a HP PSC 1510 All in One and have had very few problems with it up until now. The computer that it is mainly plugged into runs on Windows XP. Once the printer is turned on it immediately takes in a sheet of paper however only half way then a message appears on the computer screen saying that there is a paper jam. If you press the "Cancel/Resume" button on the printer the paper feeds all of the way through however it immediately takes in another sheet but again only half way. Because of this you cant print at all.
Hope you can help!!!

C3180 Photosmart All-in-one won't print. Gives message 'clear paper jam.' There is no paper jam.

C3180 Photosmart All-in-one won't print. Gives message 'clear paper jam.' There is no paper jam. About a month ago there was a paper jam, but was removed. It worked fine since then until yesterday. I've tried all the HP trouble-shooting suggestions- unplug, take apart, manually move carriage, etc. and nothing has solved the problem. The paper does not advance...all that happens if I try to print is a lot of noise like carriage going back and forth and after a/b 1-2 minutes it will show the "red X" blinking on the printer and a message on the computer screen, "Clear paper jam." When the problem first started yesterday the message was that the printer was "Out of paper." I need to print a resume and this is just the wrong time for someone such as myself with little computer knowledge to try to figure it out. Thanks for any suggestions!

Hi there pattimessick,
You may not need to remove/re-add. Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
It can fix a lot on its own (especially connectivity problems) and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
Best of Luck!

HP PSC 1510 All in One Printer

My all in one printer won't feed the photo paper into the printer even though I have changed all the settings to "best" and "glossy." I have shut the printer down, unplugged it and it still won't work. I read that you an use a "HP Paper Feed Cleaning Kit" to clean the rollers but I don't see anywhere to purchase it on this site. Does anyone have any ideas about why the printer isn't pulling the glossy paper up into the printer? Thank for you help!

I have been researching this for days! My mom recently gave me her 1510 All-In-One & I didn't have a problem until about a week after I got it. No matter if it's plain paper or photo paper, it's like it doesn't grab the paper & then that darn error light starts flashing!! I had to feed the paper manually.. and now just within the last two or three days, it won't even work when I do it that way!! I'm so frustrated! I googled it and it seems as if quite a few people have had this same problem! One thread recommended reinstalling the driver, so I did that... and nothing. I tried cleaning the rollers as well... still nothing! I'm going to keep researching. If I find a solution I'll let you know tahoedrmr, otherwise.. if anyone else who happens to come along & knows how to solve this problem, I would greatly appreciate the help!!!!

Is it possible to connect HP DESKJET 1510 All-in-One series Wireless printer without USB cable?

my mom recently bought me the HP DESKJET 1510 All-in-One series so i have an at home printer for school work. but when we bought it we did not know there was a certain USB that had to connect to the printer. so we bought the wrong one. now i have a project due and i cannot print. we have a small USB that fits it but its hard to connect it to the computer and printer because its so small. so if we can have it sent to the printer without the USB that would be perfect!

Hi,
No, in many cases printers won't come with USB cables. You need a cable which is similar to the following one:

My brand new HP Deskjet 1510 all-in-one series Cant print

This new HP 1510 All in one series that I just bought is not consistent in printing and most of the times it picks the paper and makes a bipping sound and then stops. It will then give a printing error report and spit out the paper with no print. This is driving me crazy. I have uninstalled and installed a couple of times but the problem persists. At times it prints and at times it doesn't. you can barely tell when it is going to print and most of the times it doesnt. I really need suggestions please

Hello there @Drawingston , welcome to the forums
I read your post about your Deskjet 1510 not printing consistently from your Windows 8.1 system, and when it prints, the pages are blank. I will surely try to help you!
I would suggest that you try a few things, they are:
Run the Print and Scan Doctor. This diagnostic tool will check for any conflicts that could be causing the issue. The tool will show you a report at the end. Please send me the results in a screen shot or write them in a response.
Try a different USB cable that runs directly from the back of the printer, to the PC.
Click this guide and try cleaning the paper rollers: The Printer Does Not Pick Up or Feed Paper
Reset the printer and make sure the printer is plugged in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors.
Try printing again from more than one program.
Let me know all of the results
Good luck!

My HP psc 1210 all-in-one, suddenly stopped printing any text. it will print the graphics.

I believe I have tried everything. The HP psc 1210 series all-in-one refusses to print text. nor will it scan or copy. I have done all the troubeshooting that I can find. Still will not print from PC or copy. I think it will scan to the computer. Icon with gray circle around it, states it is offline, yet from the control panel, printer and faxes, shows it as being online and ready. What else can I do to remedy this problem? Thank you in advance.

There may be 2 separate issues here.
-For the offline portion, check this document out:
Printer is offline
-For just printing graphics, this would make me think that the Black cartridge is empty/low on ink/malfunctioning. Try printing a black and white picture. That would let you know if it is the cartridge or not.
