Wait, on the quality report, the black is done by cmy, but what about the rest of the page? There's black in the text and box borders (??) Anyway, so I refilled all color cartridges and got the attached pics. What gives?? What a way to reward me for filling them up! They produced more before...

Oh! I didn't know that the black in the test was made by cym cartridges. That changes everything. Okay, I'll watch vids and refill cym and test again....

So print test page after refilling color inks THEN do system "purge"? I'll have to check the videos you linked above. Thanks...

Here ya go. Thanks. I didn't refill the color ones but I'm they look like they're salvageable, like they're working so just focusing on black for now. You can see with my own test sheet there's no black

Just about to go to sleep but I can tell ya it's not showing much either on the test. Three cartridges didn't work, two oem refilled, one non-oem brand new. Gotta be printhead. Found disassembly video on YouTube. Not that hard. Few screws, couple springs, ribbon cables. HP Photosmart 5520

Thanks, but I popped in a new one and same issue so prolly printhead right? And it's the kind you gotta break into the dang thing to get to. Not fun but I got tools. This printer is worth it too.

It's one of these guys. For an HP. Different than the more cube shaped ones. The bottom is an open circular opening with a sponge. I don't have an adapter to put a syringe on it to suck the ink through as you can do with the other cartridges but while refilling it the ink went through so it's...

It exits just fine once it makes it in with my help. Let me take a pic or vid maybe....

Anyone know how to fix this common issue? I also tried wetting some paper with some cleaner and holding it in the rollers while I ran the roller cleaning several times in the hope they needed to be cleaned but I'm wondering now if it it's something mechanical that affects the pressure of the...

I recently refilled this cartridge so I know how to get in there but I don't know how it works and what I might need to clean or do whatever to get it working right again if it's possible. Any ideas? Thanks

I just had yellow and cyan printing fine so then I refilled the magenta, ran a nozzle cleaning, and now cyan and yellow don't print and magenta is getting everywhere. Obviously I put too much magenta in there but how did it cause the cyan and yellow to stop printing?

Ah, interesting. Good to know. Thanks

Why just for pigment black? And how does ink do that anyway? I soaked the printhead in hot water for good while too. I wouldn't guess this to be an ink problem. But idk this stuff

Thanks. Makes sense

I went through all the maintenance steps and refilled all cartridges and this pgbk isn't getting this pattern right. What's the usual culprit here?

So I've got this new (used) printer that's got me stuck here. It didn't like the black cartridge so I refilled it with ink then it took it then rejected yellow, so I refilled it and it took it but then rejected the black and I filled it some more but hasn't taken it after several tries. Can I...

Thank you. Great to know. I'll have to get researching on that soon. I'll probably start with a smaller kit than that bulk $240 one just in case it's a complete failure but I'd like to get that setup working and benefit from the savings. If you have any links or suggestions before I start...

Thanks. Fortunately I was able to get that spot issue resolved with HP over the phone. They didnt do anything miraculous. We just changed the paper settings from heavy cardstock 220g, which I figured was basically what I was using with this 12+ pt paper, to extra heavy(something, in...

Cost to reset a chip? Is this a one time thing or every time and what IS this cost? And if you can't trust something from ebay surely people who buy toner replacement buy from some place they trust. Do you have experience with this or are there many users in here experienced with laser printers...
