Hp Deskjet 3520 Black Ink Problem
7 Answers
Black ink was working perfectly, a couple of weeks ago. Now just a blank page on the black, not fading or smeary, just completely blank. Screen says black is around a quarter fullbut the cartridge is quite old.. I dont use the printer every day, perhaps once every month.. I have tried loosening the ink over steam and black comes off on my finger so I know there is ink in there. Tried everything on HP Support page, so dont need the link. Do I need a new computer now? Wondering whether to try a new cartridge but if it still doesnt work I will definitely have to buy a new printer. Unless there are any reputable companies that still sell this model, do you know of any with a guarantee? Thanks all.

I've just read that link.
The "nozzle clean" is referred to as a "printhead clean".
Have you tried this - its under solution 6, step 4 in that link??
Mine gets clogged as well, as I don't use it regularly - I once had to perform the clean about half a dozen times to get rid of all the clogged up ink.
Print a test page, then do a couple of cleans and then print another test page and see if there's any noticeable difference between the 2.

Inkjet printers tend to give problems when not used regularly.. the nozzles/heads become blocked with dried ink.
If you can manage with black ink only, why not get a Mono laser printer .. they dont suffer with the same problems you get with an inkjet and they are readily available from around the £30 mark.
They are great as long as you dont need colour !
