8600 to empty color cartridges printing

I've always had the option to print the black ink only, even when the color cartridges are exhausted.  Now he tells me that I can only print black and white when I color cartridges that have ink in them.  That's happened?  I'm not buying new cartridges of color until I need them.

Thank you

Steve

Hi christianmichelherisse,

Your 8600 printer will use always a little color ink for maintenance/maintenance tasks.  You can set it to only print from the black print cartridge and the ink contained in the color cartridges will be minimal.   As you know you can do it for some time.

However, a little color ink will always be used.  This is explained in more detail in the attached document.  When the ink is completely exhausted, it must be replaced before that the printer can continue.

http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c04331666

I recommend that you continue to use the settings that you chose to minimize the use of color ink.  Finally, they get used to the top and the printer cannot print with no ink in them.  This is designed to improve the print quality and keep the maintained printer.

I hope that this document help describe you it.

    I want to print black and white with empty color cartridge. My model is all-in-one HP Deskjet 4288.

    The Deskjet F4288 joined the printheads on the ink supply.  These are replaced at each change of cartrdige so there is no concern about printing empty color or black cartridges.

    You should be able to print in ink entry mode "backup" by removing color (or black, but not both) cartridges.  There will probably be a warning message about ink backup mode but you should be able to print and the printer will work regardless of the cartridge is available.  In handwritten backup with the only color black cartrdige mode areas will print in shades of gray.  If print ink backup mode only the installed color cartridge then black will be printed by mixing colors.

    See page 75 of the manual here, that says:

    Use the entry ink-backup mode
    Use ink-backup mode to operate the HP all-in-one with only one cartridge. The
    ink-backup mode begins when an ink cartridge is removed from the print cartridge
    transport. During the ink-backup mode, the product can only printing from the computer.
    You cannot start a print job from the control (such as copying or scanning a Panel
    original).

    NOTE: When the HP all-in-one device works in ink-backup mode, a message is
    displayed on the screen. If the message appears and two print cartridges are installed
    in the product, check that the piece of tape plastic protection has been removed
    each print cartridge. When the plastic strip covering the contacts of the print cartridge, the product
    cannot detect the cartridge is installed.

    How can I get around this?

    I tried changing the settings

    Thank you very much

    While printing in black is only an option when the color is low, it is blocked once a cartridge is exhausted.  You will need to replace the depleted cartridge. Page 94 of the said the manual here:

    Printing in black ink or color only

    For regular use, this product does not print using only the black ink cartridge when the color cartridges are out of ink. However, your printer is designed to allow you to print as long as possible when your cartridges are starting to run out of ink.

    When there is enough ink in the print head, printer will offer you the use of black ink only when one or more cartridges color is out of ink and color ink usage only when the black cartridge is out of ink.

    • The amount that you can print using the black or color ink is only limited, so the available spare ink cartridges when printing in black ink or color only.

    • When it is no longer sufficient ink printing, you will get a message from one or more cartridges are exhausted, and you need to replace the depleted cartridges before you resume printing.

    HP and other printer manufacturers have technology another printer for different needs.  For ink jet printers:

    • Some have integrated into the ink cartridges print heads.  These printers can print generally with one or more of the colors completely empty, or even with color or black cartridges (but not both) removed. The 8040 a Officejet is an example.
    • Other printers have separate replaceable printheads and inks.  An example would be the printer Officejet Pro 8600.  In these printers print head can be replaced if they are damaged by running the printhead with colors off.  Some of these printers allow printing with a color, the other will not.  If the printer is run without ink in one or several colours, the printer may be damaged, but the user may be able to recover without having to send to the printer for the service.
    • Other printers have permanent print heads.  To run only those without little ink in all colours would risk causing damage to the print head because of clogs, air ingested in the printhead or grilled printhead resistances of shooting. The Officejet 6700 is an example of this type of printer. For printers with fixed print heads that could require the service to get the printer to print properly again when the ink is finally replaced.

    The document described here how the ink is used.  The document is written for inkjet printers HP the same principles apply to printers inkjet from other manufacturers.

    If you do ever print color laser printer would probably be a better choice.  If you occasionally print color but especially black a HPI printer as those in the first category above can be a good choice.

  • printer is not showing is not newly installed; color cartridges It prints well but not scan or copy

    I installed new color cartridges, but they do not appear as such in the display panel printer, which continue to save empty color cartridges.

    The printer test page was perfect.  However, the printer is neither scanner nor fax, nor can I access the installation options.

    Sorry you have a problem with scanning and copying after putting the new cartridge in the printer.

    What kind of printer you have?

    You can try to perform a hard reset on the printer. Unplug the power cord at the back of the printer. Leave for 30 seconds and plug it back.

    You can also clean the print head because it can read the contacts on the new cartridge wrong.

  • Incompatible error Photosmart 2575 color cartridge

    Hello

    I'm trying to settle a problem with printer Photosmart 2575 of my daughter.

    Operating system: Windows 7 64-bit

    Printer: HP Photosmart 2575 (Malay), MY65N1119Q, Q7211L

    She needed a new color cartridge and was sold a 344 HP cartridge, who had told him was compatible with his printer and cartridge replaces the original 342. The problem is rejects him by saying that it is NOT compatible with the Photosmart 2575 printer cartridge. I checked online and note HP 344 cartridge IS compatible. I followed the suggestions on the help page, IE. re-installed the cartridge, cleaned the contacts of the cartridge, etc. without result; the printer always reports that the cartridge is not compatible.

    Replacement of the original cartridge (empty) the printer reports everything in order and try to print. Of course print documents of W & B is very good with the place empty color cartridge.

    Everyone knows about this problem?

    Does anyone know if there is a updated firmware for Photosmart 2575? If it is available I have not found it.

    I have to say that I'm pretty bummed. at nearly £ 30 once, it's an expensive way to discover the recommended HP print cartridge does not work!

  • D7360 does not print in "Black Only", unless the color cartridges are also not empty

    I try to print a document in grayscale mode with Photosmart D7360 printer.

    In the Print Setup dialog explicitly checks the possibility of using 'Black Print Cartridge Only'.

    The printer refuses to print, in saying:

    «The following ink cartridges are empty: Light Cyan.» Replace the ink cartridges to resume printing.

    "The printer doesn't have enough ink to ensure printer health. Empty ink cartridges need to be replaced to resume. »

    This means that even if it does not use the color cartridges, each of them must be non-empty when the printer is in operation?

    Hello and welcome to the community of HP @naristot,

    I understand that you would like to know if you can continue printing in black ink, if one of the color toner is empty. I'll be happy to help you.

    This printer was designed to function as a system of four cartridges, so you must have all four available ink cartridges in order to be able to print.

    Welcome to the Community Forum of HP.

    It's just one of those things - you must have all five cartridges to print with that printer.

    Experience:

    The Photo black is not just for the pictures - this type of black is "jet black" and is used for special types of printing needs "black-black" including pictures, graphics and photos.

    Black regular print gray-black, gray, mixtures with other colors and prints some blackish fonts.

    You bought into this concept when you purchased this printer - maybe - not deliberately, but so much.  Additional 'Photo Black' is one of the reasons for this printer is capable of reproducing really excellent color photographic Images.

    ======================================================================

    The facts about Photo Black

    The following is provided by our own Provost Expert Bob_Headrick .

    The document explains how to use the ordinary black and photo black ink cartridges used in the 7520 Photosmart and printers Photosmart 7525.

    Partial extract:

    The smallest cartridge is the photo cartridge, used for printing of dark areas when the photo paper is selected in the driver, or 'automatic' paper selection is enabled, the media type is detected as photo paper.  It can also be used in some cases when you print graphics on plain paper.  If you are printing on plain paper make sure "plain paper" is selected in the selection of the type of media for the driver.

    Photosmart 7525 may require ink in all colors (including photos and black) to avoid any clogging of printheads.  See here for more information on how the ink is used.  PhotoSmart 7525 is an IIC printer in the terminology of this document.
