Which printer fits my left-over ink cartridges?

Some advice please....My elderly OfficeJet 6110 has finally gone to the Great Print Shop In The Sky...sad, but these things happen and it has given good service. So I need a new machine.
One factor in my choice is that I am sitting on a number of HP 56, 57 & 58 ink cartridges. Naturally, I do not want to just throw them away.
So - which new machines (if any) are available that (still)use these cartridges?
Many Thanks

The one that comes to mind is the OfficeJet H470. It's a cute little mobile printer. Not super photo-centric. There are probably others, but I'll need to look into it further.

Printing error after replacement of ink cartridges

I just replaced the black and the color ink cartridges in my Deskjet F4800. I have done this successfully many times before. But this time, the tear-drop shaped light under the color ink level guage on the panel is blinking continuously, and the "E" (for error) sign on the fron panel is on. The printer refuses to print anything. I have tried removing and re-inserting the cartridges a couple of times, and resetting the printer, but to no avail. The HP Solution Centre software just reports an error situation and advises to remove and re-insert the cartridges, which I've done a number of times now without being able to solve th eproblem.

Hey @subratabn ,
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to ask that question on the HP Forums today!
I understand you are in an error state with your printer. You are being told to reinstall and remove the cartridges to fix the issue.
I have looked all over the website for the Deskjet F4800. I can not find it, are you sure that this is the model that you are using? If so please attach a picture and some information about it.
Look forward to hearing back from you!

How can I print using only the black ink cartridge?

I have a officejet 4620 that I need to know how to set up to have the option of using the black ink cartridge only. I rarely ever use color ink and I dont want $30 worth of color ink to dwindle away while printing pages that do not need any sort of quality printing. How can I change this setting? I have a Mac and there are hardly any options when trying to print anything.
Thanks!

Hello @downeyke , and welcome to the HP Forums!

HP Photosmart C6180 printer. Says the magenta ink cartridge is empty when it is new.

I own a HP Photosmart C6180 printer. It sat for several months so I replaced all of the ink cartridges. It will not print because it says the magenta ink cartridge is empty. It is brand new and i can see the ink inside of it. I am not sure what to do. I don't want to take it to get serviced as I live several hours from any computer or printer repair shop. Please help!

Hi pbeck39
What are the ink levels like on a self test page - are they good? Are you using Win XP x64 by any chance?
Thanks

Black ink is not printing but the printer states that the black ink cartridge is full

Hi.
I was printing something and the printer was working fine after i changed the black ink cartridge. After a few minutes, i continued to print and the ink was extremely light (almost unseeable unless it was held up to a light) for some words and non-existing for others. I tried cleaning the printerhead and the ink cartridge as well as resetting the ink cartridge but that did not help. I tried using anther black ink catridge but that didn't help. The printer does not state that the cartridge is damage or low in ink. When i printed the quality status, it stated that ink levels were good but showed the box for the black in to be completely empty. I tried to use the clean cartridge and align cartridge functions in tools but that did not help. Rather, when i performed the aligned cartridge, it stated that the alighment failed. I'm not sure what I should do to fix this problem? Any suggestions?

@BabyBluePanda, welcome to the community!

How to get my C309a printer to only use black ink cartridge?.

I have changed my ink cartridges 3 times. ALL of them. I haven't had the printer for that long. I only print TEXT so only BLACK INK. And not that much of it either. SO why does all of the cartridges get used up? I cannot find anything where you can adjust or fix this problem. HELP as I don't have the money to keep buying all this ink.

[snip] Decent thing to do would be to allow printer to do what they have done from time immemorial - print faded docs to give us time to get cartridges and avoid total failure. Not a good or decent system. Not a good way to treat customers.
The Photosmart c309a does allow printing in black if a color ink is depleted - I have one here. What is your printer model?
HP and other printer manufacturers have different printer technologies for different needs.
Some have printheads built into the ink cartridges. These printers can typically print with one or more of the colors completely empty, or even with color or black (but not both) cartridges removed. The Deskjet 6980 series is an example.
Other printers have separate ink supplies and replaceable printheads. An example would be the Officejet 6500 printers. The printhead in these printers can be replaced if they are damaged by running the printhead with colors out. Some of these printers will allow printing with a color out, other will not. If the printer is run without ink in one or more colors the printer may be damaged, but the user may be able to recover without having to send the printer for service.
Other printers have permanent printheads. To run these without some ink in all the colors would risk causing damage to the printhead due to clogs, air ingested in the printheadvor burned out printhead firing resistors. The Photosmart 3310 series is an example of this type of printer. For printers with fixed printheads this could require service to get the printer to print properly again when the ink is finally replaced.
The document here has information on how ink is used.

Printer screen frozen after replacing ink cartridge

My Cyan ink cartridge was empty. I replaced it. The printer screen is stuck on the message "Genuine HP ink cartridges installed" with an "OK" at the bottom. Does not respond to pressing OK. The printer is clunking and chunking for a while, then does nothing. The message never changes. I've powered off and on multiple times. Unplugged the power cord from both ends. Tried to reinitialize software, but can't do it because the screen is unavailable for me to perform the tasks necessary. Help!? (Please)

DeskJet 5550 won't print after installing new black ink cartridge.

I recently got a new Dell computer with Windows Vista 64-bit OS. Printer was working fine until I replaced the black ink cartridge. It printed out the check page like normal after installing the cartridge but will not print anything else now. Not even a test page. I tried pulling the cartridge out and putting it back in. Tried unplugging the plugs on the back of the printer and plugging back in. Tried turning the printer off and back on. Also tried restarting the computer. I downloaded the HP Print Diagnostic Report and it could not find any problems. Could there be a problem with the ink cartridge itself?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Well first I went and bought another black ink cartridge to rule out the cartridge being the problem. That was not it. So then I unplugged the printer and cleaned it thoroughly and plugged it back in. Still didn't work. So I went into the properties on my printer and started messing with the settings. FINALLY I FIXED IT! I clicked on the Advanced Tab and then clicked on Print Processor. I then changed it to WinPrint and retried the Print Test Page on the General Tab and it worked! Woo Hoo!

Can't print with just one black ink cartridge on HP Photosmart C309a

I have a relatively new HP Photosmart all-in-one print-scan-copy-fax, C309a. There are 5 ink cartridges, 4 small ones in black, yellow, magenta and cyan, then another XL black cartridge. Today the small black cartridge ran out. I ordered all 4 of the small cartridges. Apparently the small black one is called "photo black", the XL is something different. All are HP 654 ink. Anyway, here's what I don't get: There is still plenty of ink in the XL black. So why can't I print? I even set it to print in only gray-scale, using only black ink ; also set it to always print text in black. But when I print a page comes out barely visible, or blank. Print Test & Diagnostic Test comes out the same way.
In another post I read that some printers can't function of one of the inks is dry, even if you don't need that ink for what you are printing. Is that the case here? I tried the online chat for technical support & could not get anyone. Also e-mailed tech support & got a less than helpful answer in very difficult to understand broken English. Just need to know if there is a way around this, or do I just have to wait for my color cartridges to be delivered? Thanks!

I would like to know the answer to this also... I have a brand new black ink cartridge but my photo black is empty yet when I print it still tries to use the photoblack?

Failure to print alignment page after changing ink cartridge

I just replaced the tricolor ink cartridge in my ENVY 5530 printer and after installing the new cartridge the unit is stuck in a loop of "Now printing alignment page..." however there is no noise indicating that the page is being fed. Attempts to cancel the action also result in a prolonged "Cancelling ..." but with no action. Based on other comments in this forum I have:unplugged the unit.removed all ink cartridgesRestarted the unit - where in I receive a message that I should use the power off button to prevent damage to the unit.reinstalled the cartridgesAttempted to print the alignment pageHowever the cycle simply repeats itself.Any assistance would be appreciated - the unit was functioning perfectly fine before it simply ran low on ink and used the ink cartridge sent by HP Ink service as the replacement unit. Many thanks in advance.

Hi SolomonI, Welcome to the HP Forums. I see that you are having an issue after you have installed new ink. I see that you have done numerous steps in the attempt to resolve this issue. You stated that you unplugged the unit from the power source. Please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. One thing to try is to by pass the alignment page and see if the unit will print from a copy or print from the computer. Let me know how you make out. I will be happy to research other options if needed. Cheers,

HP 5514 not printing with brand new black ink cartridge

Ok so I have the same issue as everyone else here - new cartridges but won't print - specifically black. Other colors print fine. Cartridges have expiration of 2016 and were made in China. I put a new one in last night - got 2 pages printed out and all was good, color printed, black printed. Woke up this morning and no black - nothing, nada, zilch. I did everything recommended - multiple passes on cleaning, checked vent holes, etc etc etc...have now lost most of my color ink from printing the test pages - still no black.
So my unit of course is out of warranty - so now what? Like the others - product was not overly used - a few pages a week - nothing massive. So it should still have life left you would think.
Next steps please? Really can't afford a new printer no matter how cheap they are these days...and with no warranty - what are my available options????
Thanks - btw I worked for HP for a number of years in a small division if that gets me any brownie points....

Hi @LAnn15,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you are running into some print quality issues on your HP Photosmart 5514, you are unable to print in black ink.
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,

Printer does not recognize new ink cartridges

The printer stopped printing in black even though I did not receive a low ink indicator. I checked the display screen and there was nothing showing in the black or photo columns. The cyan, magenta, and yellow all have colors showing with a yellow warning triangle toward the top. I went ahead and replaced both the black cartridge (564XL ) and the photo cartridge (564). The display screen still does not indicate an ink level in either slot and it does not print in black.

Hi - First question - are you using HP cartridges or are they refills. If they are refills, you'll want to try an genuine HP cartridge. If you are using HP cartridges, try resetting the printer:
Reset the printer:
CAUTION:
Do NOT perform any other type of reset on the printer before the ink initialization process has been completed.
Without turning the power off, remove the power cord from the back of the printer and from the wall socket.
Wait 30 seconds and reconnect the power cord to the printer and to the wall socket. Turn the unit on if it is not already turned on.
Check the printer for the error message. If the error message still displays, go to the next step.
Hope that helps.

Failing that, is the printer still within warranty?
