can I print grey to black ink only? or do I still have a color cartridge?

Photosmart C3180 on Windows 7 64 bit.

I really want to buy a color cartridge... is possible to print in black ink only?

Hello

Almost all injet (or similar) printers can print in black only, BUT we still need to protect ink color printers. No color ink cartridge, they simply do not print.

Kind regards.

  • Do my HP OfficeJet 4620 print in black ink only, permanently.

    I want my printer to always print in black only, on the quality of the project. I went to devices and printers > Printing Options > advanced and changed printing in grayscale only for "black ink". I also made the same change on the page I want to print and go CTRL + P > properties > advanced and making the same changes.

    However, my printer automatically returns to print in color after only a single document i.e. whenever I print a new document, the changes are cancelled and it is up to the color.

    It's much too much time to repeatedly change the settings everytime I have print something, I need to print about 70 separate documents every morning! How to make this change permanent?

    I use Windows 8 if that helps.

    Thank you!

    Hello MarkC-S,

    Welcome to the HP forums!

    I understand that you tried to change the printing parameters for "Black ink" only, but it is up to color ink. As you said, the print settings seem correct and it should stick permanently. How is the printer connected? USB or wireless? I recommend you to uninstall the software.

    Please follow this HP document uninstall programs and features.

    Then clean your Temp folder on your computer:

    1. On the keyboard, press the Windows key and the 'R' key, and then type %temp%. Press ENTER.
    2. Press 'Ctrl' and 'A '. This will highlight all. Right click on your mouse and select delete

    Now, install the full features on the site of HP software here. Choose your operating system that is appropriate; 32-bit or 64-bit. If you need help to install the software, please follow this HP document here. Choose your correct connection type.

    Once the installation is complete, please let me know if the 'black ink printing"stick this time!

  • HP photosmart Premium All in o: how to print in black ink only, when all the colors are empty except new black tank.

    In the past, I was able to print with cartridge black new xl size, although all colors are empty city black photo.

    I have upgraded to OS to win 10 and my printer does not print with black ink only.  I ran a test and black ink appears here.  I print a few things ok in black only before having to make a reset in progress and had to reinstall a ton of programs and software.  No matter what I do with the properties, it will not be printed on the page and try to use colorful tanks that are empty.  It was never a problem before using win 7.  Please help ASAP!

    There are a few things to check:

    • Make sure the paper type is set to plain paper.  If Auto is selected and is confused with the Photo paper paper or photo paper is selected only the color and photo cartridges will be used.  (The pigmented black ink cartridge is not compatible with photo paper).
    • Define advanced settings for printing in grayscale, black ink only.  Otherwise, the printer may by default using inks from color for chart areas, since this offers a better print quality due to the smaller droplets of ink color.

  • How can I print black ink only automatic duplex mode for Officejet 6500?

    When I set the printer to automatically print on both sides, it allows only color or grayscale of high quality as print color options.  If I print on one side, then I have a third option for black ink only.  Does anyone know how to get black ink only when getting both sides to print automatically?

    Sorry, this is not an option.  When printing on the front of a page in duplex black is underprinted with color to make the 'together' impression and dry faster.  Thus "black only" is not an option when you print duplex pages automatically.

  • HP Deskjet 1000 J110: Intense black print with the black ink cartridge only

    Hello

    I am trying to print the darkest possible black, but simply by using the black ink cartridge. How do I get there?

    My printer is HP deskjet 1000 J110 using cartridge HP 301.

    I do my drawing in Adobe Illustrator and set the color to be CMYK 100 100 100 100.

    If I insert only the black cartridge, the printer will leave empty place where color CMY ink should be or it will fill the space with black ink?

    Basically, what I'm trying to do is to increase the density of ink to the highest possible but only using only the black cartridge.

    Thank you.

    Note that the option is available only for documents (for example Office, PDF, Web pages and emails files), but not for the Photo files.

    Welcome to the HP community @robert3591,

    I read your post want to print in black ink only, from your Deskjet 3520 and how, you do not select this option, every time you print from your Windows Vista system.

    I would say to change the option to print in black ink only from "Devices and printer" to contain the parameter always print in black. This is a great detailed post from my colleague @X-23 , which shows all the instructions and screenshots:

    I have a printer HP Officejet 6600.  Is there a way to set the default value of print in black ink only?  Currently, I have to do it every time I print a document in the office/computer laptop preferences.

    What operating system? In general the settings changed in the folder printers 'stick', changed settings in an application apply only to the local instance of the application.  For example Windows 7: click Start, devices and printers, right click on the Officejet 6600, printer properties, select what you want to the default settings, apply, OK.
