I would like to receive from you, if still available, instruction on how to get my 6510 HP printer working again with a new ink cartridge already installed. It suddenly stopped printing. The scanner works fine but no printing black.

 

Is there a way of cleaning that would have it print again.

 

Will look forward to any genuine response that you can give me.

 

Appreciate your help.

Have you tried this? >> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f57jOGj-G5s

You could take the Printhead out and soak the bottom side with rubbing alcohol in a small disposible bowl for several minutes.  And take an eyedropper put some alcohol in the port(s) where the ink cartridge(s) goes.

 

The black vacuum primer tube got clogged up on my printer and I had to clean it out. This was a very difficult and messy operation.

Kyle, I know this is an old thread, but if you still have that information, that would be very helpful.

Here is a suggestion that worked for me... I removed the printer cartridges after performing all the recommended screen options on the printer to correct the problem.   Before you start this, I suggest the following:

 

Work in a well ventilated area (Kitchen area close to sink, I moved my printer and plugged it into the counter outlet)

 

Supplies You will need. 

2-3 cotton swabs

nail polish remover (NPR)

working ink cartridges 

paper

 

After removing the cartridges, you will notice a small circular screen area in the printer head where the ink cartridge feeds into the printer....  I dipped the cotton swab into a small amout of NPR and applied to the screen inlets to the printer head... I used one swab for each color and applied generously while rubbing the NPR into the screen inlet.   

 

After completing this for all 4 ink cartridges, I dried the screen circles with a paper towel.  Afterwards I reinstalled the printer cartridges.   

 

I ran the clean head utility to flush out the NPR from the printer head.   I did this a couple of times....

 

I then ran the print quality report..... the first report DID NOT print black ink... .only color....

 

The second report DID PRINT BLACK INK!   It worked!!!!

 

I hope this suggestion works for the many others who are experiencing this same problem.

 

Good Luck!

Disconnecting the power cord and unplugging it from the wall and replugging cord did not make any difference.
