You are in luck. I am here to save the day. Have you tried new ink cartridges?

SOURCE: k550 air in ink feedlines

I have had this happen a couple of times and have cured it easily. It has only happened with the black with me. It seems to be caused by air in the ink feed line. With the printer switched on open the top cover and hold the resume button for 5 seconds. The printheads should move to the left and you may be able to see air in the pipe(s). Remove the printhead of the offending colour(s) then insert a syringe with the plunger fully down into the rubber that the printhead connects to. Draw up the syringe plunger to draw ink/air through until you can see no more air in the pipe. Replace the printhead and close the cover. The printer should now do a calibration with the offending colour hopefully now working.

It does sound like a print head problem. Unfortunately, the print head in the C5180 is not removable and therefore not user serviceable.

SOURCE: I've got message 0x61011be6 -

I assume that you have tried to reset it:
-press the print photos and red eye removal button together
-once doing that on the little screen on the printer it should be asking to enter special key combo
-enter "red eye removal, print photos, red eye removal"
-after that it should be on SUPPORT menu
-press the right arrow and go to resets menu
-press ok
-go to partial reset
-press ok
-the machine will turn off by itself
-just turn it back on after 1 minute
and it didn't work.
in that case the processor of the printer is no longer capable of generating the format of the final image for the cd - hardware failure. The only way to fix it would be to replace the mainboard but this costs more than a new unit so it will be cheaper just to buy a new one.

How do i remove a hp d7260 printhead

Just soak it without taking it apart.

You our may have to put a few drops of rubbing alcohol on the end instead. I don't think the ink dissolves well in water.

HP photosmart B210 wont print black

Seems to be a common problem - I had it too. I spent a lot of time looking, but never quite found a consistent fix. I fixed mine in a few steps: First, I removed all the cartridges, and cleaned the filters on the top of the printhead (these are the little screens you see when you look at the tray with the cartridges removed). To do this I blotted each screen with premoistened alcohol wipes, changing wipes frequently, until the wipes were clean. I then removed the printhead by lifting the black handle on the right side, and lifting the printhead straight up. I used alcohol pads on the rear contacts (refer to HP's instructions for changing printheads) in a downward motion only. Finally, I cleaned

No matter what black cartridge I install in the D7260 prionter, printing of photos and pages come out striped. No amount of printhead cleaning will restore the performance.

> printing ... come(s) out striped
> no amount of print-head cleaning will restore

Well, you're on the correct track -- doing the "print-head-cleaning" cycles.

If it's not working, then it's time to either "junk" the printer, or pay a professional technician to do what you've been doing (and hopefully "more", e.g., running head-cleaning solution through the ink-jets). Depends on how much the technician will charge -- get a "firm" dollar-amount before the work starts, and a "guarantee", i.e., "no fix - no charge".

I have a HP Photosmart C5180 printer. It is not printing purple-instead what comes out is blue. I have done a print test report and it showed the Light magenta and magenta with missing bars and streaks. I...

If your color improved slightly when running the printhead option then doing more should help get better results. Sometime the printheads get really dirty/clogged and running the cleaning option more then once is needed.

If you get a slight line running across the page (from left to right) usually the indicates dust build up on the printhead or ink carriage. The dust acts as a paint brush being dragged across your paper as the carriage moves across the page during printing. You can clean the bottom of the carriage with a Q-tip or purchase some cleaning paper for your printer.
