Can I print with only black print cartridge (color those missing)?

Hello everyone and happy new year.

Due to the fact that I have does not print in color, I decided to give my old and empty color cartridges for recycling

the store where I buy them since then, and I bought only the black one (the double).

I want to talk about 364 cartridges, I have a HP Photosmart B110a.

The thing is that I get the message on the printer screen saying that the color cartridges are missing

and even though I have the black one installed and I chose to print something only in black ink

It cannot print anything.

Y at - it a particular setting that I have to do, or it is a fact that I can not only print text, even if I chose

the black cartridge? Each of the four ink cartridge must be installed to print only the text?

Thank you in advance.

The Photosmart b110a a ink cartrdiges individual and a separate print head.  To keep the print head don't dry out, you need to have all of the cartridges installed.

Here it describes how the ink is used in inkjet printers.  In the terminology of this document the b110a is an IIC printer.

    What is the error message you see with the color cartridges installed?

    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. 5665 envy is an example.
      • Other printers have separate replaceable printheads and inks.  An example would be the printer Officejet Pro 8610.  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 6600 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.

    Hi, I have a Canon iX6850 printer, but I can't print in color from photoshop. The prints are black and white? What should I do?

    Hi Vera,

    Thanks for the update.

    Make sure that the image is set to RGB in Photoshop.

    In addition, we suggest you follow the steps below:

    1. exit and then restart Photoshop

    2. go in the file menu > hover your mouse over Print > press and hold the space key

    3 try printing

    This would reset the printing preferences for Photoshop.

  • 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.

    Welcome @didididot,

    Thanks to their participation in Forums of HP! I see by your post that you would like to be able to print in the black as dark as possible. I can help you.

    You can use the mode single-cartridge:

    Use single-cartridge in the HP printer with a single cartridge. Mode single-cartridge begins when an ink cartridge is removed from the distribution of the print cartridge. In the mode single-cartridge, the product can only printing from the computer.

  • Photosmart 6510 print with only black print cartridge?

    Hi, can printing Photosmart 6510 in black & white (not gray, but b & w only) when the black ink cartridge is not empty, but all the other cartridges are? If the color cartridges are not already installed, it will always show b & w?

    Hello

    The 6510 PS will not work if the color cartridges are empty but the black ink.

    However, I think that it would be possible to print using only black ink but to do ink in the cartridges of colour as well because in case of maintenance color cartridges to do little ink in the print head maintenance routines.  When the head is friendly if there was no colour ink this part of the print head could heat upward too or overheat.

    Anyway, back to print in black only.  You mention that you do not want t p rint in black and white so you know where to look in the driver to get to this option. Then in Word, Excel or any program, go to the print function.  Click on properties. Click Advanced. You should see where you have levels of gray.  If you clock in the option box should reveal the other options will be "Black Only". Select this option.

    As I said you should be able to print using only black, but you will need the color cartridges ink.

    Hope this helps.

  • DeskJet 6122 print with only black print cartridge?

    I had this oldy but goody through local Freecycle (with two sets of ink!) list after knowledge full it works under Linux and openprinting.org it lists as working perfectly. Plug and play installation with Ubuntu, instantly recognized 14.04.

    I think it is indicated only by old-school print/head of cartridge type, but I should be able to use it with the black cartridge only right? I know most recent will force you to have both. I love that the cartridge for the price are very economical too.

    The Deskjet 6122 requires a black cartridge and electric sound color must be installed in the printer to print.  It is not necessary to have ink in all colors, but both cartridges must be installed.

    This link should give you the information you need to explain the menu print, print menus. In order to print in black only, you can select "print in black and white." Note, however, that color will be used during maintenance of your printer. This is necessary to prevent the healthy color ink for when you do not need to use it.

  • LaserJet MFP M177fw Pro: Pro LaserJet MFP M177fw can't print in color

    I recently bought a new printer and decided to go for the color option. I am wanting to set up so it appears only in black because I only print in color occasionally! I've changed all the settings that I can see and put them in black and white, but always through a program called bistrack, which he still print in color! I've even increased the low threshold of are color cartridges and said to the printer to print in black when the threshold is reached... but still, it prints in color through a program.

    PLEASE HELP SOMEONE!

    Hey @robertsinclair,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand that you have problems with printing in black only from your printer Laserjet M177fw range when you use Bistrack. The printer works properly black from other programs, the problem is with Bistrack. I suggest you contact their support solve your problem.

    Either way, I'll mention that the printer still uses a little color when printing in black as a base to give your impressions the sharp looking you would expect from a Laserjet. If the printer gives you a warning that you are very low on a color toner, replace it. This time will keep your bright impressions and will prevent the printer to get damaged.

    Please let me know if this resolves your problems or if you go to a resolution. If you do, please click on accept solution. If you appreciate my help, please click on the thumbs up icon. The two icons are below this post.

  • I can't reinstall with only a serial number, I can?

    I bought a MacBook Pro with the suite Adobe Design Premium about 3.5 years ago. If the memories are good, it came with the software already installed and with none of the discs from Adobe. After a series of repairs, I tried several times to find a way to reinstall Adobe products with only the external hard drive that I used for Time Machine backups. But I always failed. And now the external hard drive does not have too. So I think that I have only the serial number. Can I ever recover the Adobe products I bought with this laptop?

    You will need to talk to the seller to get the software, if they are the ones that originally he you provided.  If you have the order number, you may be able to download the demo version of the software through the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.

  • Print with only black print cartridge

    Hello!

    I was told that with modern HP printers, must be all the non-empty cartridges to print in black (gray). Is this true?

    My all-in-one HP 4 years works perfectly without the color cartridge. Should I buy a new printer color cartridges, although I usually only print black & white documents?

    I thought HP DeskJet Ink Advantage 3515/3525.

    Thank you very much for your help!

    Kind regards

    savick01

    Yes, that's correct.  The all-in-one Deskjet 3525 does not support the mode of single cartridge. This printer comes with separate head of printing and ink supplies. The Assembly of the printhead contains black and color print heads and requires fresh ink in each color in order to avoid clogging of the nozzles during and after printing. This isn't a problem with the Deskjet 3510, as the cartridge has a built-in print head.

  • (Redirected) new here - and have trouble with the black ink cartridge not to produce quantity it promises

    Hello

    I have an AIO 948 printer and for years had a ng bad espain on the number of prints each cartridge provides. He promises 585 when newly installed - this time I counted each impression, and now when he says that it is empty ( but experience, explains that he will yet deliver ca 30-40) gave 136 prints

    It's a lot less Quen 585

    I have found no place to ask this question about dell sites - it's not on my customer number - this is a general question whether dell deliver what they say they do - 585 prints pr cassette.

    Dell printers I had for about 6 years or more - it's a lot of cassettes - and I have such a bad feeling of being deceived here. Please explain that to me, someone - or at least give me a maildress who will read it and explain.

    Thank you!

  • DeskJet 932C, you can print with just replace the black ink cartridge?

    My question is basically simple.  The printer DeskJet 932C can operate with only black ink?  Color ink was empty for a while now, but the printer kept working, printing in black and white.  Due to the cost of the ink and the absence of any income available, we just changed the black ink cartridge.  The problem now is that the printer will not print not even black and white.  Do I have to scrape some funds to replace the color ink cartridge, or y at - it another way to get the printer working with just the new black cartridge?

    Thank you in advance!

    Michael Sponable

    Hello

    Your printer can print in black only, but up to a certain point , you need tri-cartouche color otherwise it will not print. It's a little late now, otherwise if you only need to print B & W, a monochrome laser printer is very good and much cheaper to run (in terms of cost per page).

    Kind regards.

  • CM1415fn HP MFP: Can I print with empty color on my hp cm1415fn toners

    Hi can my HP cm1415fn always print (black & white) using the black toner when it uses the color toner are empty?

    Hi @Charles10,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I see that you wonder if your printer will be able to print in black and white when a color toner is exhausted. I'd be happy to help you and don't forget to come back to this thread and check "Accept as Solution", if I have successfully helped solve you the problem. If you want to say 'Thank you' to my effort to help, click on the "thumbs up" to give me a Kudos.

    If you have an empty toner cartridge the laserjet will not continue to print until you have replaced the toner empty.

    For more information, please see this paper,printer Toner use & the Impact on Print Cartridge Yield.

    When you replaced the color toner, you can choose to print in grayscale to help reduce the use of the color ink cartridges.

    • Black test - for black and white images and photos, a mix of colors called 'composite black' can be used to achieve the quality significantly improved picture and soft gray tones that can be achieved with only black toner. For users who want to print images using black ink only, many printers color HP customer offer configurable options allowing the client to print using only black ink. For example, by selecting "print in grayscale" in the printer driver Specifies print using black ink only.

    See these steps to print in grayscale, Select printing options.

    Basics of printing

    Printing in Windows is often as simple as clicking the file menu found in most programs and then clicking on print.

    This opens the print dialog box. This is where you can change settings such as what printer use or how many copies to print. (The dialog box that you see might look different than the one shown here, depending on your software and your printer).

  • CP1025nw: Printing with the black print cartridge only

    Above printer just bought. Vendor assures me that I can print with just installed black toner cartridge. There is no cartridge included in the box! Until I set up and try, East - this correct work with only black cartridge installed? Thank you

    Hi @NoMe1,

    I have read your message and see that you would like to know if the printer print with just the black toner installed. I want to help you.

    This model requires all toners to be installed to print. When tonics for one or several are exhausted, they will have to be replaced in order to continue printing.

    You can configure the printer to print in grayscale, which will use less color cartridges. Here are the steps:

    The application, go to the file menu, click Print. Select the driver.

    Click on the dropdown, under color quality, you should have the options for printing in grayscale or possibly black and white.
