5 inks can print 3

Inadvertently, I posted this under multifunction to be reposted here.

I have a HP printer with 5 different color inks.

Light cyan seems to not work properly, there is one way (software or otherwise) to disable clear and magenta cyan and print using normal colors.

Geffers

Thanks for the reply,

The printer was my daughter and not immediately available to me but it just replaced the cyan in question.

I removed the cartridge, wiped the terminals, supported on the pistons and now he's mysteriously works well.

    Hi @peanut7949,

    I believe, with this model, you can continue printing with inks has expired. That being said, if you replace only the black ink and continue to print with others (expired), it should be fine.

    Here's what I could find on the subject:

    Each ink cartridge has an expiration date to protect the printing system and ensure a good quality ink. The cartridge expiration date appears on line 53 of the free test report.

  • DeskJet 932C, you can print with just replace the black ink cartridge?

    My question is basically simple.  The printer DeskJet 932C can operate with only black ink?  Color ink was empty for a while now, but the printer kept working, printing in black and white.  Due to the cost of the ink and the absence of any income available, we just changed the black ink cartridge.  The problem now is that the printer will not print not even black and white.  Do I have to scrape some funds to replace the color ink cartridge, or y at - it another way to get the printer working with just the new black cartridge?

    Thank you in advance!

    Hello

    Your printer can print in black only, but up to a certain point , you need tri-cartouche color otherwise it will not print. It's a little late now, otherwise if you only need to print B & W, a monochrome laser printer is very good and much cheaper to run (in terms of cost per page).

    Kind regards.

  • My C309g takes 5 inks can I print grey if the colors are empty?

    I need to do some basic printing and do not need inks from color right now. My all in a 5 normal cartridges 4 and a separate black ink for printing. I'm wondering if I should replace all cartridges, the cost is a factor, or could just replace the black print quality and be able to print the text?

    Hello

    You must have one of the available 5 ink cartridges with ink available for printing, which is also required to maintain ink system and therefore cannot be circumvented.

    Kind regards

  • Designjet Z2600: Questions about head of ink and printer maintenance

    We have recently acquired a printer, Designjet Z2600 24 "large format.  A few questions so we can know what to expect:

    • Dry ink: A colleague suggested that dried ink can be a problem if the printer is not used frequently.  We plan on it using every two weeks, but there may be times when a month or two will pass between uses.  Is this a problem?
    • Print heads: will be the printer alert us when they need to be replaced or should we look for quality defects?
    • Management of ink: before printing, the printer will be well estimate ink necessary for work and alert us if we need to insert the new cartridges before employment passes by?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    The recommendation is to keep it at any time.

    If you use the printer turns off completely the power button.

    When not in use, it will go in standby mode, wake up maintenance and sleep.

  • HP 7500 has: has HP 7500 or HP C309g can print in black

    My HP 7500 has no my HP C309g can print in black. The 7500 had the same problem before, so I went to my other printer for a month and he got mysteriously? Now, will not print in black. Yes, genuine inks, cleaning head complete and I tried, but the chances of the two get a dirty print head at the same time is microscopic.

    Hi @kanshaku

    I want to help you be able to use two printers again. I understand that the black ink is not working. Please start with the procedure described in the following document; The problems of print quality for the HP Officejet 7500 (E910a and E910c) to Grand Format Printer e-all-in-one series.  This document applies to these two printers because they have such similar ink systems.

    If you have performed all the steps in the document above and the problem persists, not one of HPs, my personal recommendation is to use the solution put forward in the next video.  I suggest that if the printhead and the printer he are out of warranty.  Hot water rinse printhead - HP ink printers of the series with removable head.

    I have recommended this solution to others and have been successful, but I can't guarantee that this will solve the problem, it is a term of type line of effort. I hope it helps.

  • HP Photosmart C6180 Magenta Ink not printing

    error message: no

    description of the problem: Magenta Ink not print not EXCEPT on the page that prints after aligning the print cartridge printing is performed. At the bottom of this page, the bars of yellow, Cyan and Magenta print perfectly, just like the mixture of the color shown in the colorful bird printed below the bars.

    Self Test Diagnostic Page is printed with bars No. Light Magenta or Magenta, under print quality model. State of ink and level for both shows like OK magenta and 100%

    Troubleshooting: I ran repeated cycles of head cleaning and aligning the print cartridge print without changing the output. The page that prints after cleaning has NO magenta bars or lines. Seems the page that prints after alignment. Via e-mail support, I was directed to perform a complete reset "semi" and "the NVM reset" - neither of these had no effect. Magenta inks have been replaced, but the problem persists.

    Exchange: the printer had not been used for several months.

    My printer started working. It had been disconnected and sitting for several months. I turned it to try the HP solutions (below) and found that it worked - I had nothing to do!  In any case, I hope this can help some of you with similar problems:

  • DeskJet All in One F380: F380 can print without color cartridge

    I rarely ask output color then could I remove the color cartridge to stop the waste of ink on cleaning? If this is not the case, how to set preferences so it displays permanently using black catidge only. I think I should change this option, every time I turn on.

    Hi @john859uk,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I noticed that you wonder if you can print without a color with your HP Deskjet F380 cartridge. I am pleased to see that for you!

    Basically, if you remove the color cartridge, and it only gives you an option to continue, without it the printer must then both cartridges to work.

    You will want to start devices and printers (via your control panel) with access to your folder and right-click on your Officejet 6700 icon and select Printing Preferences. The window that opens will be similar to the display on the left of the screenshot below.

    On this screen you click the Advanced button, and then you will see a screen similar to the one on the right of the screenshot. There, you go the black ink only setting and press OK. Press and then apply on the previous screen before pressing OK again. The driver will now be on use black ink only.

    I hope that answers your question and I thank you for posting!

  • Collection of wet ink when printing photos

    The ink is wet when you print photos on photo paper. I changed the drying time. I've never had this problem before. I even bought HP photo paper just to see if this could be it. It did not work. I can print pictures in color on plain paper. But any kind of photo paper smear/bleeding/tracks. I'm also real HP ink... no refills. Any ideas how I can get the printer to print photos again on photo paper? I read a few similar posts online and the information was not too favorable of HP, saying that the customer service is not useful, and there has been no resolution. I hope that this 'special support day' will be just what I need. Thanks in advance for your help.

  • OfficeJet 6500 has more: printer will not use BLACK ink to print in BLACK. Mix of colors rather than use BLACK.

    Printer prints BLACK ink BLACK, instead he mixes the colours to make BLACK.  It creates copies in BLACK only, without mixing colors to achieve the BLACK, but when I ask it to print something it automatically uses the ink color.

    In properties, advanced, I checked the box to print in BLACK only, but did not help.

    In the printing preferences, shortcuts, where it says printing in grayscale, do you feel black ink only as a default?

    I don't know if it will work, I do not use this parameter or the Advanced setting, I have been using high-quality grayscale, but I'm interested to know why, also, when I print 99.9% of the time with color, what I need to change the color ink cartridges so frequently.  You say the color of those who are used to make black.  That makes no sense to me either why the printer would do that, except high-quality grayscale means he uses color inks vs only Black Ink is not.

    Test printed with two parameters, and that is exactly the same, so I won't set my default preferences for levels of gray-black ink only printing and see what happens.

    What how can you tell whether or not the printer is mix colors?  (by the way, if you use unusually fast color ink)

  • I can't print from internet. I can print only to a word document. nothing happens when I try

    Hi, I use a printer HP PSC 1510 on Windows 7.  Everything worked fine until recently, when I found that I couldn't print anything from the Internet, i.e. the bank details, emails etc.  I can print from Word Pad, but that's all.  I get no error message. I get a deafening silence--no strange whirring, buzzing or Growl - just anything.  I hope someone can help.  I checked all connections, ink, paper etc nothing stuck.   Thanks in advance for any help.

    I am betting that there could be a conflict between the pilot and the Navigator. Try using a different browser like IE or Firefox. If this does not work, or you don't want to, try to use a different printer driver. Instructions that are below. Let me know what happens.

    To use a different print driver for printers HP with Windows 7:
    1. click on the start menu.
    2 click devices and printers.
    3. right click on your printer.
    4. Select printer properties.
    5. click on the Advanced tab.
    6. click on new driver.
    7. click on next.
    8. Select HP in the first list.
    9. Select Deskjet 450 in the second.
    10. click Next.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8500 depleted a color ink cartridges - printer will print not except if replaced

    When one of my color ink cartridges is empty ink, my printer does not print until the ink cartridge is replaced.  Of course, I go out and buy new and install it then get the message that another cartridge needs to be replaced!

    I only print in black ink in all cases.  Is it possible to print only black ink without replacing color cartridges are empty ink?

    In addition, if a color is exhausted, I should automaticall replace all color cartridges?

    Operating system: Windows XP

    Officejet 8500 printers individual ink cartridges (IIC); This machine requires that all cartridges to be installed to ensure that the printhead not damaged. In the printer, the ink is used not only for printing, but retain the printer and the print head. We can reduce the amount of color ink, the printer uses by changing the print in grayscale settings or use black ink only. Page 34 of the Manual shows how to change these settings when you print the documents. For more information on how the ink is used in the printer; It can be considered as this page here where he goes into detail about the different ways that ink is used in the printer.
    I would just replace the color cartridge the printer says needs replacement when the machine alerts you of low ink. I would replace all the colors at a time when only needs replacement.
    I hope this helps.

  • You can print on the HP OfficeJet 8500 a black just? The color can be disabled?

    I just purchased a HP OfficeJet 8500 a and love it!  I was told that you can print in gray scale or black and white instead of using the color all the time.  How do I do that?  I know how to change from color to black and white in the digitization, but what about printing.  It can be disabled.  I make a download each month, about 800 and do not want to use my color ink.  Want it in black and white.

    Hello

    For a permanent change to any setting of the driver for all your print jobs, you can go to your printer driver, mine is here (Win 7):

    Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and printers

    Once you go there, right-click on your printer, select Printing Preferences > click the Advanced button > choose printing in grayscale setting required. You can make other settings there as well.

    These settings should stay with all the print jobs you send to the printer.

    I hope this helps.
