Re: Deskjet 3070A - replaced cartridges but won't print now!

Hello,
I have the same problem. Replaced my black cartridge on my deskjet 3070A and now it won't print any black ink at all.
Please can you help?
Thanks,
Tom

@Tskinner1
Hi Tom, is the printer in warranty? (typically it's one year from purchase). Can I ask which country are you based in?

Deskjet 3070a - Deskjet 3070A - replaced cartridges but now it stopped printing black

Hi,
I just replaced all my cartridges but the black colour is gone - I even tried to replace the black cartridge but it did not solve the issue.
The printer is out of warranty but I spend a lot of money on new ink so I would appriciate to receive advice on how to solve this issue.

The document here may help black not printing on your Deskjet 3070a. Be sure to check the vents as shown in solution three.
How far out of warranty? You can check with HP's warranty tool here. What country are you located in?

Hello there! Welcome to the forums Kathy, aka @kathy954 ,
I saw your posts about how you cannot seem to fit the cartridges in. I found a guide with a video that should help you insert the cartridge.

Printer connected, printer works, but won't print from Mac

I'm helping someone with a printer problem, and I have a mystery on my hands.
The printer is connected (directly), shows up in the printer list, can print a test page, but won't print any document from this computer (it's fine from my laptop).
It's a Mid-2011 Mini, 2.3Ghz, running 10.7.5. The printer is an Epson WF-2540.
This is a USB printer, connected directly to their Mac.
In "Settings", when you select Print/FAX and print a "Test Page" - Success! This is a process that invokes the Epson Driver directly [and bypasses the MAC print queuing mechanism]
When "Printing" from within any application (firefox, TextEdit, winders...)   The job starts to queue, but errors before engaging the printer.
R & R the Epson Drivers, Clear the Printer "stuff" on the Mac, Reinstall drivers from the Epson website, Mac wants to update the "newest" Epson Drivers (kinda' funny when I think about it...).
Still errors.
I attached directly to a USB port on my MacBook Pro. Download drivers, etc.. Works like a champ!
We have deleted the printer from System Prefs, rebooted, and added it back.
We have even gone into Terminal and...
sudo bash
cd /etc/cups/ppd
ls
found EPSON_WF_2540_Series.ppd
cp * /var/tmp/
ls /var/tmp/*.ppd
rm /etc/cups/ppd/*
Still doesn't work.
Anybody have any suggestions?

In System Preferences>Fax & Print, Right click or Control+click on the Printers list Sidebar, choose Reset Printing System.
if you hold option and click the "-" tab it resets the printing system.

My computer recignizes my pixma 6000, but won't print, help

i have checked for drivers on the cannon wed site and was told there is no driver for my mac. the printer is recognized by the computer and is listed as hardware but won't print. Any suggestions ????

There is nothing you can do if there is no printer driver available.
You can check Gutenprint Supported Printers for a driver if they have one.

my canon 5320 has ink but won't print on mac os 10.7.5

Hi olschoolmike_1,
To try and resolve the issue, you will want to confirm that the inkjet nozzles are dispensing the ink correctly by printing a nozzle check pattern from the printer. If the pattern does not print correctly, we recommend performing at least one cleaning and two deep cleanings on the printer to try and get the ink to print.. To print the nozzle check pattern and perform the cleanings, please follow the steps located here. If you still experience difficulty after performing the cleanings, please call or email us using one of the methods on the Contact Us page for further assistance.

My HP 4480 printer shows up on my MacAir but won't print.

My HP 4480 printer shows up on my MacAir but won't print. It is connected by a usb cable. I have tried powering off and on the printer to no avail! I have installed the latest driver for Apple Mac as well. Thanks for any suggestions!

Hi timetogo,
If you are having an issue with printing from your MacBook Air I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

Macbook pro recognizes but won't print with hp desk jet 5550. Help!

macbook pro recognizes but won't print with hp desk jet 5550. Help!

Hi, I used the Mac setup instructions, not the PC ones. The printer was automatically recognised in print and scan when I connected it with a USB cable. I accessed the server's web-based page and followed all the instructions, but still no joy. Thanks for the tip about posting. I have just posted in the section you suggested, so let's see what happens. From a quick scan around the apple forums, lost of other people seem to having precisely the same problem (and not just with HP printers!), but unfortunately, no-one seems to be offering a solution! And trying to get through to the apple online support is a complete waste of time. They've been 'not available' for two days now. Christmas/New Year shutdown, I suppose. Thanks for all your help, though!

My iPad shows my Photosmart 7510 but won't print. Wireless commands from my computer to printer work

My iPad shows my Photosmart 7510 but won't print. I've disconnected and reconnected printer, turned iPad off and on. My computer communicates well wirelessly with the printer. Troubleshoot further?

I would try a hard reset on the iPad.
To do so, hold both the home button and sleep button down at the same time.
Keep holding them until the device restarts and you see the Apple logo.
Once you see the Apple logo, you can go ahead and release the buttons.
Once the iPad is booted back up, try to print to your 7510 again.
Let know if that helps resolve your issue or not.
Best of luck,
Kyle

HP Deskjet 3070A setup cartridge problems.

I was having problems with wireless working on my 'HP Deskjet 3070A All-in-one printer' and after trying different solutions I had found on HP support, I decided to give up and factory reset it.
This gave me a new problem, the printer now needs setup cartridges to, well, set it up. I did keep them after they ran out so tried using them again for setup, but they did not work as they have already been used. Is there any way I would be able to obtain new ones?
This question was solved.

The black ink cartridge is not empty but won't print.

On my Photosmart Plus B10, the black ink will not print. I was using an HP size 564 XL cartridge and I could hear the ink in it, so it wasn't empty. I cleaned the printhead and when that didn't work, I installed a new cartridge. Still won't print. The other three cartridges function properly. Willl I need to replace my printer because of this problem?

Hi, is the printer in warranty? If not, one thing worth a shot is soaking the printhead as described below....
1) Get a pan and put 1/2" of very hot (not boiling) water in the bottom.
2) Next remove all the ink cartridges, then remove the printhead assembly.
3) Gently put the printhead nozzles down in the water and let it soak for five minutes.
4) Remove the printhead and gently dry the electrical contacts.
5) Put the printhead back in the printer and then reinstall the ink cartridges.

Hp LaserJet 400 M451 replaced cartridges, but they still read "low"

I have an HP LaserJet 400 color M451nw
When the cyan cartridge said it was low, I replaced it. It then printed another 100 pages or so, without problems, then the printer told me the magenta was low , and I replaced it. It printed a few more sheets, told me the yellow was low, I replaced it.
Now, although 3 cartridges have been replaced, it tells me the cyan cartridge is empty, the magenta cartridge is at 20%, and the yellow cartridge is at 70% (all 3 of these cartridges are brand new HP catridges)
Now, it will not print at all, and insists the cyan cartridge is very low.
I have inspected all of the cartridges, was sure they were seated correctly, and I have reset the printer several times.
I cannot get the printer to "see" I have plenty of toner.

[Disclaimer - I have little experience or expertise in printers that use the 02 ink cartridges.] That said the issue sounds like one that would be caused by air in the plumbing. There is a long thread here, reading through has a few reported successes from reseting the printer. I would suggest reading and trying the steps in these posts:

HP 2050 deskjet all in one -- will scan but won't print from this computer

My deskjet 2050 will scan from both of my macbook computers, but will only print from one. It gives an "on hold" message whenever I print from this computer. Then I hit "resume" and it says "nothing is being held." I have already downloaded and re-installed the driver, and it didn't make any difference.
It prints fine from the other computer, but it's a pain to have that limitation.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Hello @CazzoInMano , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you're running into print issues. I would like to help with that!
What version of mac are you using?
I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
I would also suggest running your Apple updates: OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
After the updates, I would recommend reinstalling the HP Deskjet 2050 All-in-One Printer.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
