I am diagnosing a printer for a friend. It's an HP PhotoSmart 6520. It won't print black when printing a document from my computer.
The cartridge is brand new.
I ran the "Clean Printhead" process. The "Print Quality Diagnostic" report printed the text in black, but the black color block in section 3 is blank.
I ran the "Align Printer" process. The page printed only the cyan.
If I print a document from my laptop, it does not print black.
I printed a document using my Canon printer, then put it on the scanner and copied it. It did not print black.
I've been to about half a dozen different websites, including HP, and they all provide the same advice, all of which I've done already.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you.
