    Anyone work on color inkjet 6000?

    My wife has one that just decided one day to stop printing black..colors were working fine. new ink cart=no help.. cleaning the carriage assembly=no help. Removed the printer from her computer and reinstalled the printer from scratch= no black or color printing now..any ideas? definitely sounds like software conflict to me. She's on windows 7 64 bit.

    Hi Ucinn,

    Do you have another computer you can set it up on.

    I doubt it is a software/ driver issue, but that will help to resolve this (if possible use an XP machine to test with).

    If the black was not working after changing, it could be a faulty print head.

    Now that both black and color are no longer printing it is more than likely a faulty printhead or (and this is very rare) corrupted firmware.

    You can try and update the firmware and see if that fixes it (not sure it will).

    Here is a link to HP's Site for downloading software and all:

      Thanks for the reply. After posting that, she went and removed the printer from her computer again and reinstalled it again and all is working fine again now. After a google search, seems like this thing has a habit of just stopping printing black.
