Dell V313w Printer won't print properly

Richard1Rippe,

It should be able to print all colors when copying.

Try reading...

Cleaning the Printhead on Dell AIO V313w, V515w, V715w, P513w, and P713W Printers

and

Troubleshooting Printhead Problems on the Dell AIO V313w, V515w, V715w, P513w, and P713W Printers

The Printer Does Not Recognize the Ink Cartridge or Only Prints in One Color

and here is a Replacement Printhead if needed.

Hey, Rick, thanks for the info. I tried cleaning the printhead, but had no changes in results. I read your profile (I believe you, and I would call them bios). You see, I am a 63-year-old, former newspaper publisher...I did it all...and, I too, am in terrible health after battling several illnesses.

Since that did not work, I want to know if I am assured replacing the printhead with a new one will make the printer print. These printers are so cheap to purchase, I'm thinking about just getting dad a different printer. I'm an HP fan and have been for years, and I hate the Dell priority crap when it comes to getting toner cartridges. I'll just need to find him one that will scan and copy as well. He probably does more of that than printing, although I think at 88 he calls making a photcopy "scanning". 

I hope you continue to endure your ill wealth well. God Bless!

Richard1Rippe,

On some of the models, the original printhead may malfunction, but the replacement printhead seems to last a long time, been there done that.

The name Photocopy was for copying. There used to be Photocopying machines, now shortened to copying machines.

Take care,

Rick

Hi, I'm in a similar situation.  I've been given a nearly new V313w printer and as it had no ink in it, I ordered one of each Black & colour.  I'm getting some colour but not a lot and absolutely NO black is printing.  I've followed the cleaning of printheads, etc. but still no joy.

Any thoughts please.

Cheers.

Hi Breva_750,

Updating the printer Firmware should take care of the problem. To update the Firmware follow the below steps:

Awaiting your response!

I'm afraid there is no success.  Still no black ink being printed.
