Black of ink, please!

OfficeJet 6700 Premium and Windows 7. Keep the color ink when even in grayscale is set to black ink only and print all text black is set to enable. What's wrong? How can I solve this problem?

Setting the printer to use only black ink is a great way to reserve of ink. However, inkjet printers also use ink for the maintenance of the product too. It helps keep the printhead prepared to be used too. Here is a link to a document that says, in many ways, this ink is used in other than just printing printer.

  • Re: C510 black eStation ink cartridge work do not

    Frustrated REEEEEALLY. After screwing around all day trying to get stuff printed I sit tonight with a new black ink cartridge and it's either not all black printing or it is a pale gray. All other cartridges work. Come here, when I click on links to every possible solution nothing opens for me. Before anyone asks, this printer is about 2 or 3 years, but had BARELY BARELY BARELY served. It is connected to an HP computer that is only a few years old with exceptionally light use also. I installed the updates that were available. He printed some photos fine this am, but I'm trying to print documents has put me in such a rage today I had better just go to bed. Warranty is out, so much for spending money on a printer expensive in the hope that it would last. Hope this will be a quick solution. It's really annoying to keep buying new printers all the few years despite them get such use of the lamp

    Hi @Furbio and welcome to the Forums of HP!

    I'm sorry to hear you had so much trouble for your C510 to print in black, but I will certainly do my best to give a helping hand

    Because you mentioned that you have questions, open links of the forums, I'll have everything written here in my post, so I apologize in advance for how long this post can get!

    First of all, I would like you to clean the contacts on each cartridge by following the steps below taken from the document a "incompatible cartridge" or "not compatible ink cartridges" Error Message on the computer or the all-in-onefor your printer. "

    Follow these steps to clean the electrical contacts of the cartridge.
    1. gather the following items:
    Clean cotton pads
    Paper clean and lint to rest the cartridges on (coffee filters work well)
    2. press the power button to turn on the printer.
    3. open the cartridge access door. Lift the corner front right of the printer until it locks on the door in the full open position. Wait until the print carriage to move toward the center of the printer.
    4. press the tab on the front of the cartridge to release it, then pull it up and out to remove it from its housing.
    5 hold the cartridge by its sides with the nozzle facing up.
    6 locate the electrical contacts on the bottom of the cartridge. The electrical contacts are four small rectangles of copper metal.

    7 wipe the electrical contacts with a q-tip clean and dry until no debris remains on them. Make sure that no ink or debris from the smear on the transparent window next to the electrical contacts.
    8. place the cartridge on the clean and lint paper with the nozzle upward.
    9 locate the electrical contacts inside the carriage. Electrical contacts are similar to a set of four copper color placed pins to touch the electrical contacts on the cartridge.
    10. clean the electrical contacts inside the car with a clean, dry cotton swab, second.
    * Please do for each cartridge, just to be complete
    11 drag each cartridge into the slot that is appropriate until it snaps. Make sure that you insert each cartridge into the slot with the corresponding color icon.
    12. close the cartridge access door.

    After completing these steps cleaning cartridge, if the problem still persists, I would like to manually clean the electrical contacts on your print head (the part the cartridges sit in inside of). These measures were taken from the replacement print head for your printer paper (with a few changes to make things more clear ).

    Follow these steps to clean the electrical contacts on the print head and inside the printer.
    1. press the power button to turn on the printer, if it is not already selected.
    2. open the cartridge access door. The carriage moves to the center of the printer. Wait that the carriage is idle and silent before proceeding.
    3. to remove the cartridges, press the tab on the front of the cartridge, and then pull it upwards to remove it from its housing. Do this for each cartridge.
    4. to remove the print head, lift the locking on the carriage to the stop handle.

    5. place the print head on its side on lint cloth or absorbent paper and use a fluffy and filtered/distilled water to clean the electrical contacts inside the printer as shown below.



    6 proceed to clean the electrical contacts of the print head as well using the same materials. Just be careful not to touch the contacts with your fingers.

    7. once everything is dry (try not to let the printhead out for more than 10 minutes if possible) please proceed to reinsert the printhead to the printer and gently drop the locking handle to fix it up before you reinsert the cartridges and close the printer.


    When the printer is finished it is maintenance, try to print a report to see if the black is printing printer or if something has changed with the next steps in the document printing to a printer status report for your printer.

    1. In the home screen on the product control panel, press Menu () in the upper left corner. A list of menu options screens.

  • HP C3100 that while a black printer ink 92 drys out cartridge or malfunctions between print jobs

    Hi, my C3100 of HP all-in-One printer works very well with a black ink cartridge new 92. Once I have do not use the printer for a while, maybe a few months, it will not print. I use the printer as a standalone Copier right now. The cartridge has printed perhaps only ten pages and now it's not even a hint of ink on paper. This has happened since the purchase of the printer/copier and we had to replace the ink cartridge every time. This isn't a software problem I use the stand alone unit. I am convinced that if I install another new cartridge 92 unit will print. How can I keep the ink don't dry out, if that's even the problem? Why the ink must be dry? Should I get another type of printer for limited use? Never heard talk about the ink dry before. Please respond as I want to copy something but I'm tired of having to install a new ink cartridge in order to. Thank you for your help.

    @ jsklein - here is a link you might find useful dealing with storage and handling of the cartridges. It will focus on the best way to keep cartridges don't dry out. I hope this helps.

  • All-in-one Deskjet 3520: NO black printing ink...

    I'm very irritated right now. My printer is 3 weeks out of warranty. I just spent $ 60 + new ink cartridges today. The color cartridges are working well, but the black ink does not work. The printer acts like it is printing, but nothing appears on the paper. I see many people with this problem on this forum and other forums. I called technical support... went through an hour of "Troubleshooting" and then was disconnected. Recalled and waited 45 minutes for someone else to tell me that he would sell me another printer for $100 + y including some startup ink cartridges which only last me a very long time. I JUST bought $60 in the ink cartridges today. I tried to remove the print head with no luck. I can't take the printer apart to remove the print head. I was going to try to clean it myself, but it is impossible to disassemble the thing.

    I am EXTREMELY displeased with the the customer service of hp and the feeling that they must save their product when it stops working just 3 weeks after the expiration of the warranty. I would be delighted if someone could tell me how I can solve this problem, since the printer is in condition basically new and has new ink.

    It is regrettable that these products are not made to last more than a year. I will not buy another hp product.

    Called customer service. They send a new printer.

    Thanks for the info.

  • Photosmart C510: Photosmart C510, complete except Photo black all inks is low, why I can't print

    I've just spent more than $50 for cartridges for my printer, apparently the kit I bought didn't come with black picture, instead, he had 2 black inks, it had 3 color cartridges.

    Why is it necessary to have ink in the Photo black cartridge to print?

    I should be able to print, I think, everything, except maybe the photos.

    Is it possible to disable or ignore the Photo black and the printer does not work?

  • I managed to do my monitor outside my main monitor, but it says no signal and the screen of my laptop is black. Help, please

    Hello someone,.

    I wanted to connect my laptop to my TV to use it as a secondary monitor. Me being me, I somehow changed settings so that when I plug in my TV, my laptop screen goes black and my TV screen turns blue with no signal. Is it possible to restore the settings when I have it plugged first and it worked?
    Thanks for any help :)

    Hi johnrodden,

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft community!

    I'm sorry to hear that you have a problem with the external monitor.

    1 turn off your computer and unplug the monitor, but leave the mouse and keyboard connected.

    2. connect the appropriate video cable from the video port on your computer to your TV.

    3. turn on your TV and set it to the input that matches the video port connected to your computer. You may need to refer to your TV user guide for instructions on how to do it.

    4 turn on your computer.

    You should see windows displayed on your TV.

    If you do not see an option named multiple displays in your display settings, then Windows isn't detecting a second monitor plugged into computer. Or else, it does not detect an external monitor plugged into your laptop. When Windows detects this monitor, it will appear in the drop-down list next to the screen. If you do not see that what listed there, try click on Detect.

    Make sure that the monitor you want to extend your desktop is turned on and plugged on the video appropriate port on your computer. You may also need to select the correct source labeled on the controls of your monitor to ensure that the monitor is using the correct video port. For more information, consult the manual of your monitor or go to the manufacturer's Web site.

    Please set up multiple monitors once more, referring to this article:

    Set up multiple monitors

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/set-up-multiple-monitors

    Refer to the mentioned suggestion as "what can I do if Windows can't identify the additional display?" in this article:

    Multiple monitors: frequently asked questions

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/multiple-monitors-frequently-asked-questions

    Reference:

    Solving the multiple monitor problems

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/troubleshoot-multiple-monitor-problems

    Please report if you are still having the problem. I will be happy to provide you with the additional options that you can use to get the problem resolved.

    We can't wait to hear back on your part.

  • I have a HP PHotosmart Premium while a single C309g - is no longer black. Ink

    My printer has stopped printing in black ink - I used the tool - cleaning printhead several times but no result.

    I am using windows 7 32 - bit, Just started to fade in color these days. The cartridge is not empty - even installed a new - but no change. Is this an electrical problem or a blocked port?  Only 2 1/2 years. Is it a throw point? All of the suggestions. Thank you. Sandy

    Lizzy-beff-Thank I'll check you for the reply, this thread of Bob Headrick. He will tell you not only soak the print head, but also run the cleanup utility later to get the best results. If go you through the process and you find that you can still not able to print. You can call HP Total care for the purchase of a print head. There is also a program known as the program level HP where you can call to find out get a reclamation printer at a reduced price. This printer will come with a full factory warranty and have an extended warranty that is placed on it. The only reason I mention this option is that the printer option may be about the same price as the print head and give you a warranty again.  The number of HP Total care for US and Canada visitors is 1-800-474-6836. Other clients can find the details here on this link.

  • Black only ink Epson Stylus cx5000

    I'm a color ink, so it will not let me print how can I only use black ink

    I'm a color ink, so it will not let me print how can I only use black ink

    Optionally set the program and printer driver to use black only.  It would be quite a printer driver and the problem of program, not Vista.  Some Epson printers print fine with black that wherever there is a cartridge of color still installed even if it is empty.  Some never prints in black if one of the colors are empty, because it seems to block any printing sent items.  My craftsman will go not strictly in black but my Stylus Photo 1280 and R260 can.
