Hello, the OfficeJet 6950 printer prints but the sheet comes out blank because it doesn't print black but does print colors "it's not the cartridge."

Thank you in advance

Good evening,

Have you checked what HP offers for this issue? https://support.hp.com/fr-fr/product/hp-officejet-6950-all-in-one-printer-series/9666193/model/9666194/document/c05161887

Best regards

Those who do not please upon arrival always do so when leaving.

Good evening

Thank you for the response. I followed the procedure yesterday and also now it still doesn't change, still no black on the sheet.

Have you possibly tried to remove this cartridge and reinstall it several times to re-establish better contacts, for example?
Best regards.

Yes, I have done this several times and with another cartridge on the HP site we talk about cleaning the print head

Where is the print head located?

The printhead is located below the cartridge receptacle; in principle, if you installed this printer using the supplied software, you should have a utility that allows you to clean the printhead.
Otherwise, visit this link, the drivers are there.

Thank you for the help, but I don't understand what needs to be done.

Do I need to disassemble the printer to access the print head?

Good evening,
Sorry for the late response, I've been busy elsewhere...
You don’t need to intervene manually; cleaning the print head is a procedure that should be implemented through a utility normally installed on the PC if, as I mentioned in the previous response, you used the installation CD or DVD for the printer.
For example, on my Epson machine, this utility appears in this form.

Good evening

I have done this several times without result

I was also on the HP site following different procedures and still no results

And to be helped effectively by HP the service is paid for each reported issue

Here is the current situation if I cannot find a solution I think I will have to resign myself to parting with this printer

Thank you for your response

It's possible that the print head has an issue preventing it from printing one color, and it may also be possible to replace this part. Now, is this justified based on the cost it would represent?
I'm sorry I can't assist you.
Best regards

Good evening or good morning

Thank you for your response. I also think that after looking on the internet, I will go for the solution of buying another printer. I will take advantage of the sales.

Thank you for taking the time to respond.

Best regards
