Black ink not working.

[Lynka1947]

black ink not printing …...have tried 2 new cartridges.....Printer 6978

I think it is a software issue but HP told me that it is a hardware issue.  I guess they want me to buy a new printer. I did, I bought an Epson.

There are way too many persons with the same issue but using different printers.

My printer is HP DeskJet 2632.

I’ve ran every cleaning, diagnostic tool I can, colour seems to be printing but absolutely no black at all? 

Very frustrating

Hi!

first of all: its a SHAME THE LACK OF A REAL HP SUPPORT FOR A 

PROBLEM  AFFECTING SO MANY PEOPLE!!!

Ok, this worked for me(until now) and i rly hope that can help other users too:

1- disconect the power cable from your printer

2- reconnect it and connect an usb/ethernet cable to your pc

2- open the printer and remove your black ink cartridge

3- after that, simply replace it with an old black ink cartridge - empty or not - and wait for the printer messaging recognition “old cartridge used before blablablabla” or something.

4- remove the old cartridge again and replace it for the new one or the latest in use.

5- Just test to print pages or docs again and watch the results:)

I hope it can be useful for you guys as it was for me \0/

PS: the printer i got is HP OFICCEJET PRO 6830*

My previous post was deleted... Heres another try:

1 - disconnet the power cable 

2 - reconnect the power cable and connect an usb/ethernet cable to your PC.

3 - turn on the machine, and remove the black ink cartridge

4 - get an old cartridge used before (not the last one in use with the print problem) and install it.

5 - wait for the messaging “black ink cartridge used before whatever” and remove the old one from printer

6 - reinstall the new(or latest in use) black ink cartridge and try again to print test pages/docs

It worked for me until now*
