• Depleted ink color, want to print in black only

  Hello

  We have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910 printer all in one, and it happened for us several times.  When we have run out of color ink, but have a full black cartridge installed, the HP software allow to print text in black ink only documents.  It's very frustrating, because there is a setting in the "set preferences" dialog box that appears to allow such use, but apparently it is misleading.  Is there some kind of special 'switch' that I need to return order to stop don't not productivity when I don't have the money or time to buy unnecessary colors?

  Thank you, Bill

• HP 3050 has: only want to print in black

  I want to print in black only.  My color inks are very low, my almost full black ink.  How can I do this?

  The Deskjet 3050 a printer print (but not copy) with just the black cartridge installed as indicated on page 30 of the manual here.  Store the removed color as shown in the paper here.

  Use single-cartridge

  Use single-cartridge use the HP all-in-one with only one cartridge. Mode single-cartridge begins when an ink cartridge is removed from the distribution of the print cartridge. In the mode single-cartridge, the product can only printing from the computer.

  NOTE: When the HP all-in-one device operating in mode single-cartridge, a message appears on the screen. If the message appears and two ink cartridges are installed in the product, make sure that the piece of plastic tape protection was removed from each print cartridge. When the Ribbon plastic covers of the print cartridge contacts, the product cannot detect the cartridge is installed.

  Exit single-cartridge

  Install two ink cartridges in the HP all-in-one to exit single-cartridge.

• OfficeJet 6700: print in black only

  Hi jozz71,

  If you are wanting to use the black cartridge for printing, you can follow step 2 in this document to change the print settings to print in black and white:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/HP-OfficeJet-6700-premium-e-all-in-one-printer-series-H711/4322971/document/c04331666

  Please be aware that you don't need two ink cartridges to print.  The printer uses little color for printer maintenance.  This interview is described in the document I have attached.

  Once the color cartridges is completely exhausted you must replace it in order to print.  After this setting the printer to print in black and white will minimize the used color and make it last longer.

  I hope it's useful for you.

• Printer does not print in black only

  I have a DellP513W printer that I'm trying to change the printing preferences - I go to start - then right click on my printer (Dell P513W).  When I go to print options - Print Setup it gives three options - print using ink all available (he is the chosen one, and I can't change it), print in black only (it's that I want to come back, but I can't change for her) and colour printing.

  I have Windows 7.

  When I try to print or copy anything, it says that I have to change my color cartridge - I won't buy another color cartridge b/c I want to print in black only!

  Does anyone know how to change the printing preferences, so I can print in black only?

  Thank you.

  You've discovered the secret of 'dirty' most inkjet manufacturers have included in their printers.  The printer and the printer driver do not print if one of the cartridges missing or empty.  This is normal, because manufacturers tend to make more money on ink than printers.   In my area, some ink cartridges are more expensive than a new printer.

• HP ENVY 5644 e-all-in-one Prin: I want to print in black and white

  Hello

  I wanted to print in black and white but still my printer print in color when there is a picture in the paper, it's really annoying because when I go to the properties of the printer I press black and white or black press ink only then when I press on save, I'll be back in the printer properties to find her back to color No matter how many times I put it in black and white it goes back to color. I tried pressing black and white and not return to the printer properties, but it still prints in color. Also, I changed my default settings of the printer in black and white through the control panel and tap Save. When I go into Control Panel, its saved printer properties such as black and white by default, so that's good. But for some reason when theres color of text or an image on the page I want to print, I can not change to print in black and white, keeps coming back to color.

  Please help me!

  Hello @Matthew002, hope you are well!

  Thank you for joining the HP support forums, I would like to help

  I understand that you are having problems when printing in black and white and also the printer goes "offline".

  Going through your post, this could be a problem with the printer drivers. In this case, we might need to uninstall the drivers and re - install the same.

  • If present, disconnect the USB cable between the printer and the computer.
  • Go to control panel of configuration-programs and feature - select the HP Envy printer entries and uninstall them.
  • Restart your computer.
  • Now, click http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software13/printers/en5640/Basic_Webpack_x64-40.2.1073-EN5640_Basicx64_Webpack.exe and install the printer drivers.
  • If you are prompted, connect the USB cable.

  Now try to change the printing preferences:

  • Go to control panel - devices and printers - give Envy 5640 right-click and select Printing Preferences.
  • In the pop-up window, click on the 'Advanced' button - check for printing in grayscale option. Make sure it is turned on

  PS: Your printer support mode single cartridge. So if you want to completely stop color printing you can get out the color cartridge and use only black.

  Let me know if this helps. Good luck!

  See you soon

• using the color laserjet 3600n - I want to print in black and white, but it prints black and white negative. * beep *.

  using the color laserjet 3600n - I want to print in black and white, but it prints black and white negative.  * beep *.

  I was able to recreate what you see.   I managed to work around it by installing a different driver that is also supposed to be compatible with the CLJ3600.

  Please consider trying this as a possible solution:

  (1) uninstall the driver CLJ3600 by opening printers and fax machines, driver selection and right-click on it and select Delete.  Once it is removed, right-click on an empty space in the windows printers and faxes and select Server properties.  Click the driver tab, click the CLJ3600 and then click on remove.

  One when you're done, restart, and then install the CLJ3500 driver.  This is a previous version of the driver that has been implemented for the CLJ3600 and is compatible with the CLJ3600.

  After installation, try printing again.

  The output I have indicates it will print is more negative.  Please let me know if you have success.

  One caveat about this solution.  The Color LaserJet 3500 doesn't support duplex.  Of workaround only works for two printing on the package of basic or the Color LaserJet 3600 N.

• HP 6600: Print in black only

  HP 6600 all the cartridges are in and only yellow is everything. I don't see that not setting a black than gray. That means I have no other choice but to and get a new color cartridges. Frustrating thinking I could still at least print in black only.

  Hey there @Nasher09!

  Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  You will need to pick up another yellow cartridge.  Your printer uses a separate print head.  The print head is what sprays ink on the page.  You must have all of the cartridges installed and complete in order to print.  The 6600 Officejet uses all the same print black and white cartridges.  Without full cartridges print head will become damaged or dry.  There are some printers as the 4500 ENVY and Officejet 4730 using a 2 cartridge system.  These cartridges have integrated print heads.  These printers works in a single mode of cartridge and print black ink only, but your system printer 4 ink will not.

  Thanks again for posting and enjoy the rest of your day!

• OfficeJet 660: My printer does not print in black only

  I want to print in black and white, but my printer does not print because my yellow ink is empty.  I tried to change the color to black and white, but it still won't print. Seems ridiculous that all would have to have something in it just to print in black and white.

  You have an Officejet 6600?  This printer has a print head permanent and separate ink supplies.  Little ink is required in all colors to print, even if you print in black only and only one of the colors came out.  (When printing in black color print head is always waving around in the air.  There are few available ink to prevent the nozzles from drying out and butcher them.)

  See here for more information on how the ink is used.  In the terminology of this document, the Officejet 6600 is an IIC printer.

  Sorry, you need to replace the ink color depleted.

  The Officejet 8500 has individual inks with separate printheads and "plumbing" to connect.  It requires ink in all colors to keep the plumbing for all air and/or damage the printheads.

  Not the answer you want to hear, but you will need to replace the depleted cartridges.

• Print in black only

  HP Officejet Pro 8500 has more.  How do you print in black only?

  Hi dolphin1,.

  You will need to click the paper/quality tab, and then click the Advanced button to change printing in grayscale in black ink only. Keep in mind that this printer has a replaceable print head and must have all the colors ran through it to keep it in good working condition. If you only run the black only there is a chance that the printhead can get clogged in the color of the jets, which in turn can cause print quality problems.

  HP, as other printer manufacturers, offers you with permanent print heads printers requiring ink for all colors, avoid the print heads.  HP, like some other manufacturers, also offers printers with user replaceable print heads.  These may of may not require ink in all colors in print, even though damage may occur if the print from the cartridge empty.  Finally, HP as some other manufacturers also offers printers with the printhead into the ink supply.  He is replaced at each change of cartridge.  These printers will happily print with a diet low, empty or many deleted completely same models.
