Can I print in black and white with an empty cartridge on a printer HP Officejet Pro 8100?
Only the cyan cartridge is empty, all the other 3 cartridges are fine. I ordered the cartridge cyan online but I need to print important documents today. The power button blinks when I try to print.
I do not understand, black and white must not use a color cartridge to print.
Is there something so I can print before receiving the cyan cartridge?
The printer Officejet Pro 8100 has the same print mechanism like its counterpart of all-in-One Officejet Pro 8600. This printer has a print head mechanism that contains 4 individual cartridges: CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black).
It will replace the cartridge if the unit provides a message from one of the colors being empty, until the unit will resume printing. This is a retention mechanism to avoid the product from damage. I hope this helps.

Unable to print black and white with an empty cartridge
My printer will not print not black-and-white, except when a color cartridge is replaced empty.
How can I print black with an empty color in place cartridge?
Some IIC (individual ink cartridge) printers have print heads that require ink available for periodic maintenance tasks. This avoids problems with hooves in the print head and the bad print quality. The following printers are unable to print when a cartridge is empty, even if the other cartridges.
If one or more color ink cartridges are low but not empty and you want to minimize the use of color ink, you can change the settings in the HP software to print in black ink only (grey levels). Even if you change the print settings to print in black ink only, the other ink cartridges still have ink in them so that the printer to print.
If you choose to print in black ink only, the printer always uses small amounts of ink from all cartridges for occasional maintenance tasks. HP recommends to replace the low ink cartridges in order to avoid any interruption in printing.

Why I can't print black and white if the yellow cartridge is empty but the black is full?
I have a Photosmart C7250 all-in-one and Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, why can't I print in black and white if a color cartridge is empty? The black cartridge is full, it is not the only one to be used? Is there a setting somewhere that I can change just print in black? I tried the black and white option through command prompt on my computer but the printer always gives me an error message saying that I need to replace the yellow before I can print.
The reason that this, your printer is actually not to damage the internal parts. Mainly the printhead. It is built in integrated security to help protect your investment. HP, as other printer manufacturers, offers you with permanent print heads printers requiring ink for all colors, avoid the print heads. HP, like some other manufacturers, also offers printers with user replaceable print heads. These may or may not require ink in all colors in print, even though damage may occur if the print from the cartridge empty. Finally, HP as some other manufacturers also offers printers with the printhead into the ink supply. He is replaced at each change of cartridge. These printers will happily print with a diet low, empty or many deleted completely same models. I understand that it can be very annoying, but it's a necessary.

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. -

HI, how can I scan a picture and only the witout the rest. On a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus?
When I scan I got my photo and all white for the rest of the screen
It has no function of machine harvest in the 8600 software. To get the exact size, you will need to manually set the size for the scans that you do. You can find the setting by clicking on the blue link to advanced settings in the first scan window. Will take you to a place that will allow you to change the size of the scanning area. Hope that helps.

Photosmart 8450 prints only black and white with the new Mac with OS 10.6
I just bought a new Mac with OS 10.6. (former was OS 10.5) Now my Photosmart 8450 will print only in black and white. I installed the single upgrade on the site of HP, no change.
Is there an other update I need?
You want to disable automatic session opening, which may be why it behaves in this way.
Go to System Preferences
Go to security
Under "for all accounts on this computer", place a check mark next to 'turn off automatic connection.
In addition, I do not know if you set a password for the test account, but put something simple as 123 - just something / anything.
Once that is done, choose log in the Apple menu, or reboot. This should bring you to the login screen where you can specify the account to enter.

Sort of printing black and white only when magenta cartridge is empty?
We have a HP Office Jet Pro 8500 a. computer running Windows Vista.
The Magenta cartridge is currently empty, and we need to print an urgent document before we will be able to get a new cartridge.
While trying to print a black and white document only, the following error has occurred:
Exhausted ink cartridges
HP 940 Magenta
The cartridges listed above must be replaced to resume printing.
HP recommends that you do not remove an ink cartridge until a replacement is ready to install.
Specified in printing dialog windows that we want only black and white, but it is still received this error message.
Is it possible to adjust the printer settings to specify explicitly that you want to use black ink?
Thanks for any help you can give.
This printer takes individual ink cartridges (IIC), and this ink delivery system requires that all cartridges to be installed for the printer to work. You can set the printer to "Using black ink only", but that must be done before a cartridge is exhausted, that the printer inks for other uses in fairest impression. It also uses the ink for the maintenance of the print heads. Here a link to a document that turns to explain various ways that ink is used in a printer beyond just printing.

I am compiling my football teams game film. I created a dvd using Windows DVD Maker. Each game is a single video file to AVI format. When I preview the video, no problem. After having carved, (2 trials) when I watch the DVD, the menu screens look good, the video of the first part looks fine, but from second game, or of the stage, the video quality changes. The video becomes almost black and white. The shadows and the highlights of the video seem to be exaggerated and that they are pink color. It seems to be an effect of video editing, but I did no changes to the video features. Help.

Can I convert to black and white, then add color?
I was just curious to know if the touch of adobe photoshop can transform a black and white photo and then just add the colors you want. As you can do in CS5
Hi hemigirl28,
Yes, this kind of technique can be accomplished with Photoshop Touch, the process may be slightly different than using Photoshop CS5. One of the features of Photoshop Touch is the painting with effects (Saturation, color, temperature, black & white, Dodge Balance / burn, brightness / contrast, Shadows / Highlights, curves, hue, sharpness, comic strip and a pencil). One of the tutorials included with the product market by taking a picture of a horse color, paint the background in black and white and then paint with a saturation increased on the horse itself to bring out. Check out the screenshots in this doc to see what I mean. http://forums.Adobe.com/docs/doc-1372

Black and white with color + Saturation
I worked in Lightroom 4 on a picture that I took and I just like I want (these adjustments are to increase the saturation on certain colors on the STL tab). Now I'm doing the top half of the image just in black and white, but when I chose the adjustment brush and sturn Saturation to the low top-100 and start going on half top of the picture, some colors (those I turned the Saturation upward on the tab STL) tarnish a bit but will not completely black and white. Someone at - there a way around this?
If you're just do half a picture, a graduated filter (perhaps several of them stacked) with 100% dlse and pause for a quick transition would work.
Otherwise you could stack multiple instances of the adjustment brush until you drive all the color on.
Web-Weaver is correct in noting that is a job best suited for the PS

More than a printer HP OfficeJet Pro 8100
Hello
I need to buy two printers wireless to use with an iPad.
But the thing is: if I install TWO identical HP OfficeJet Pro 8100 under the same wifi network, how can I know that I want to print? In other words, my concern is that when I want to print a document using the iPad it will show two printers, but both with the name "HP OfficeJet Pro 8100". Having in mind that each printer is located away from each other in my house, I need to print under the right printer.
Is it possible to change the name that appears on AirPrint so I can distinguish the two printers? Something like "Printer-Studio" and "printer-bedroom"? Or something that works somehow...
Thank you.
Pedrosacelso,
It is possible to change the name of the printer, many customers buy more than one printer to a desktop environment and need to change the printer name to identify the printer.
If you have problems with the above steps back on the support forums.
