HP Photosmart 7525 e-All-in-One Printer won't print black

[Mich_44]

I have been having issues with my printer. Just downloaded the driver and reinstalled. The test print printed beautifully but nothing else will. I tried the hard reset and when I hooked everything back up the printer wouldn't turn on!

@Mich_44,

I read the post and thanks for your update. A@Raj1788 is out for the day, I am responding on his behalf. It is nice to hear from you again and your efforts are appreciated. As you state that the printer now does not power on after a hard reset it looks like a hardware issue with the printer.

I will send you a private message to assist you with the next course of action. Check your forum private message box in the upper right corner next to the bell icon. 

Thanks and a blessed week ahead.

I spent a couple of days doing everything everyone posted here but eventually the only one that worked was:

I bought a new PRINT HEAD for the 7525. Simple. Get on Ebay and search for the 7525 print head NEW (about $15).

Worked.  I could have saved $150 in print cartridges and paper if I had done that first.

If your 7525 had been around a few years this is the solution.
