adjust the printer settings

my printer has suddenly stopped printing in black ink, after installing a new cartledge. I can't find how to enter printer setting to possibly adjust the black ink. It prints in color.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello

·         What is the brand and model of your printer?

·         What happens when you try to print in black?

·         Have you received an error message?

Method 1: I suggest you try to print a black-and-white test page and find the issue.

Method 2: Clean the print cartridge nozzle and check for the issue. To do so follow the steps below:

(a) unplug the printer from its

and remove the device print cartridges. Most printers contain at least two cartridges, one for black and one for the color.

(b) locate the small holes in the printer where the toner cartridges are installed. Put 10 drops of isopropyl alcohol in each nozzle using a pipette.

(c) use a soaked q-tip with alcohol to swab around the nozzles to loosen and remove dried ink that has accumulated on top. Let the alcohol evaporates.

(d) run the printer cleaning and diagnostic test. Repeat steps 2 through 4 as required until the printer produces clean copy.

Also check the settings of the printer.

  • HP LaserJet Pro 200 color M251: envelopes are wrinkled, how to adjust the printer?

    The printer tends to 'rolling' envelopes when printing and put a fold in some ways. Is it possible to adjust the flow to the printer so that it is not offending the envelopes? With self-adhesive envelopes, it works better, but it still changes the fold in the flap.

    I want to know if this can be adjusted. Please do not just stick in the boilerplate response.

    Hi @JayEll ,

    I see you found folds when printing on envelopes. I want to help you solve this problem.

    Adjust the print driver for the type of paper for envelope, this should solve this problem.

    If the paper is not set correctly, it can cause creases or types of paper not supported also.

    You may just be able to set a default to plain paper. If you print from Word, you need to set the default settings through devices and printers in the printer properties.

    What type and size and the weight of the envelope are you using?

    Try another type of envelope to see if you have the same results.

    The printer supports up to 24 lb envelope.

  • How to adjust the print margins in Firefox on Linux 17?

    How can I set print margins in Firefox on Linux 17? There is no margin setings in layout, or in the print dialog box. About: config, there are sets of settings called e.g. printer_Print_to_File.print_margin_top etc., but also the print.printer_Print_to_File.print_margin_top etc, but when I try to set these it seems they zero to 0.5 when I print something, and the print margins are always the same. In previous versions of Firefox, I managed to adjust the margins by typing about: config, but that changed in a recent version.

    Hello

    I can confirm that I have the same problem on Firefox on Linux 17. Except that preferences do /not/ / giving to 0.5.

    We could try to isolate the problem. If you have another printer to try, then you can try it and see if the margin settings also get ignored. (It may be just the PDF printer that ignores them).

    On the other side, this PDF printer has worked for you before, please file a bug in Firefox. https://developer.Mozilla.org/en/docs/Bug_writing_guidelines

    Thank you!

  • Cannot change the print settings

    I have a new printer, an Epson XP 430. My previous printer was also an Epson. With my old printer, when I chose to print (for a document, web page, etc.) the dialog always had an option to choose, black and white. I also could add to the presets and edit presets.

    With this printer, I can see the presets, but I can't make changes. When I click on view Presets, it is not an option for adding a new preset as it was with my old printer and remove and duplicate boxes are grayed out.

    I guess that this is due to the printer, not OS X, as I noticed the difference when I started using the new printer. Am I missing something somewhere? I rarely print in color, so I would have a preset that specifies black & white.

    Thank you.

    Sheri

    Since you have a new printer, you can create new presets. This is done through the printer with the selected printer dialog box, not through the page view Presets. When you select this option to print do the settings that you want to create a preset for and then click on the drop down preset menu. Select "Save current settings as preset" and enter a name for the new preset.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8620: Locked out of the printer settings

    Good evening

    I was unable to print wireless so I did a network reset the unit. When I rebooted the machine, I proceeded to return to the network settings in order to capture the wireless information however I received the error "function has been locked by the administrator or the person who set up your printer".

    I'm not sure what is the problem with that I'm the one who created this printer. I assign a password to the machine, and with that, I have no option to enter in order to unlock all the features (there is usually an option under 'Tools'.).

    After some searching through the forums, I printed a wireless test and the results were a single FAILURE for Wireless on.

    Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Kind regards

  • Profiles of papers Gallery not available in the printer settings dialog box

    I have an Epson 3880, and I can't select fine art profiles in the Lightroom and PS CC printer settings dialog box. I don't have a problem with this PS6. I choose the profiles in the main screen under selection Photoshop manages colors, but they are greyed out in the settings dialog box. Same problem with Lightroom. I just sent to SP6 to print, but who's really bad at my productivity!

    What OS are you running and you install the profile in your system and accompany your 3880 printer.  Your case to your printer with Photoshop, the printer button may only be used to define profiles of him have been installed for your printer. Photoshop has nothing to do with the installation of the printer profiles.  It something you. Often when you install printer drivers in the installation process of the paper icc profiles are installed for you printer. If the profile of the paper you want to use is not you must download it from the web site of the printer maker or the web site of paper machine and install it in your operating system..
