Hi Manavoc,

I will explain you the cause for it.

It prints in yellow first and then override with black for better quality. This is the reason your color ink gets empty.

SOURCE: no black ink printing all other colours okay

This is getting to be a very common problem that I've found almost constantly with the HP88 K/Y (Black/Yellow) printhead. The problem is that the Black ink is pigment ink and in certain environments this just clogs to the point that no amount of cleaning will actually resolve the clog and you have to replace the printhead. The only long term solution I've been able to find is to replace the black cartridge with a 3rd party dyebase ink cartridge and run this through a NEW printhead to replace the pigment ink in that. Dyebase ink does not have any of the same problems and will work perfectly. The only trade off is of course that you lose your warranty and there is a certain amount of ink "bleed" where the edges of black are more fuzzy from ink mixing while it's wet but this is fairly minimal and as the L7580 is only really a document printer (rather than a photo one) it shouldn't make a huge difference. I've used this approach to great effect both at home on an L7680, K5400 and K8600 plus on the same models in 3 different schools where this clogging issue occurred so it's tried and tested. Hope it helps.

Try cleaning the print heads. You can find more troubleshooting info in the manual:

Well if you already installed a new black ink cartridge and still wont print, then try cleaning your printer head. It can be that the some ink was hardened and got stuck preventing you to print a black color.

Installed black ink but hp psc 750 keeps saying install colour and i only have black ink. Can you operate this printer without colour in.

Print cartridge
When the print cartridge contacts are dirty and the printer cannot detect/communicate with print cartridge.
Clean the contact points on the cartridges with a dry, lint-free cloth.
1. Open the top cover of the printer.
2. Remove the print cartridges.
3. Clean the copper-colored contact points on the cartridges with a damp, lint-free cloth. Use a dry, lint-free cloth to remove moisture from the contacts.
5. Insert the cartridges back into the printer.
6. Close the top cover.
7. Try printing again.
If you still cant communicate try with new cartridge .

Colour cartridge missing but I only want to print

No you cannot. Each one of your cartridges is smart chipped. When this cartridge registers as empty it acts as an on/off switch thus turning the printer off.'

You need to replace the empty cartridge in order to print.

Go printer settings and check option to print only black.

I just fix in new black and coloured cartridges and only black and red colours appear on my prints. the replaced coloured cartridge was giving similar print problems.

hi im josh in cebu phils. friend may i help you? it happen try to shake the cartridge that doesn't print.and install it again and just remember this: Problem: Your Color Printer Doesn't Print All Available Colors This problem is most likely caused by an old ink cartridge. It's not unusual for some colors to get depleted before others, throwing off your color output. If you're seeing less blue (or red or yellow or black) than normal, chances are it's time to change your cartridge. so thats all good luck

Installed new black ink cartridge per instructions. HP #56 - machine type hp psc 2210 all-in-one. Machine instructed how to run cartridge alignmet check. In all modes machine runs about one half check and...

to complete the alignment it needs to detect the lines printed from both the black and colour cartridges.maybe ur black cartridge is printing the necessary pattern but the colour is not printing so when it tries to read the colour paattern ,it cant read and cancels the alignment and ejects the paper out..it will keep on doing this if it cannot read the both colour and black patterns.see to it that both ur cartridges are printing and working properly.

I have a laptop connected to my HP 5740 & it use to print my PDF's with no problem. Then all of a sudden it prints the wjole PDF in black. What could be done to fix this?

When was the last time you changed colour cartridge?
Your colour cartridge has probably run out. Once you install new colour cartridge, it should print in colour.

Does not print black

Most likely you have no black cartridge installed or it is empty causing your printer to use the colour cartridge for black. But if your colour cartridge has 1 colour which is less full than the others it causes black to become greenish or sometimes reddish depending on which colour is less. A new cartridge or a black cartridge will solve the problem.
