I just changed the black only cartridge in my HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni printer and now it not only sounds like a dying cow but it will only print out black sheets. I pulled the little orange tabs and restarted. I even ran the trouble shooting computer programs but it is still printing in all black.

    I reinstall the printer driver and checked the cartridge as well. Neither solved the problem. The screeching problem makes it sound like there is a problem with the new black cartridge, even though I ordered it direct from HP. It is coated with black toner powder, which is different than my old cartridge.

ISSUE: The customer may experience a missing color plane if the toner cartridge door is opened partially and then closed. This may occur anytime the toner cartridge door is not opened fully and then closed. SOLUTION: Open the toner cartridge door completely. Pull the toner cartridge tray so it extends until it stops. Verify the cartridges are in the tray correctly, adjust if necessary. Close the toner tray and toner door and try reprinting the job. If one or more of the colors is still missing verify that the cartridge is not empty.CAUSE: The toner cartridge tray will disengage the toner drive mechanism when the front door is partially opened. In some circumstances the toner drive mechanism will not reengage when the door is closed. The result is one or more color planes will not form an image during the printing phase.

    When you print black and white pics, does it print whole thing as black or the colors inverted or just a whole blank black sheet ?


    I still feel you should try re-installing the printer driver.

    Alright,
    Try cleaning the catridge head.
    May be the micro pumps could not pump out the ink properly ...


    Hope this works,


    Cheers,

    If the problem persists, try contacting HP.
    They should replace it for free.




    cheers,

My boss want to replace the black ink cartridge for one that prints color. Can this be done with the HP 12-a cartridges? HP Laser jet 1022

Unfortunately laser printers don't work this way. The laserjet 1022 was designed for black and white prints only. In order to do color printing with a laser printer you will need to purchase one that is designed to print in color. The laser printers work a bit differently than the inkjets - the laser printers have 4 toner cartridges, one each for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black, that work together to print a full color page. With the old inkjets you could just replace a black cartridge with a color one.

So, short answer: Sorry but no you can't make a laserjet 1022 print in color. :)

I would recommend looking at an entry level color laser printer from hp, such as the CP2025 (http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF25a/18972-18972-3328060-15077-236268-3673580.html) if you are looking into purchasing a color laserjet.

Hope this helps

My hp Color Laserjet 3550 Printer wont print black when it is out of color ink

The 3550 won't print in any color if any of the colors are out. You'll have to replace the color ink that's empty to get it to print.

In the future, if you're just printing black and white, you can select "Print in Grayscale" from the print properties to just use the black ink cartridge, which will help the color cartridges to last longer.

There is an override sequence and it works well. Press the select button (checkmark) to indicate Main menu. Press right-arrow (RA) to select System Setup. Press Select , then RA to Print Quality, Hit select. RA to Replace supplies and hit Select. Now, RA to Override Out and Select. Confirm with Select again. Your 2600n will now run even with an empty toner cartridge.

Still using color toner when printing in black

Check the black toner cartridge. Most printers that use multiple cartridges will use the black cartridge as long as it has toner in it but will then start using the color toner to do the black/grayscale when the black cartridge is empty.

Printing black on the entire page.

Have you tried to change the print cartridge as black print is usually down to the print cartridge faulty. The other possibility is that the cartridge contacts are dirty or broken.

Hope this helps
