Cannot print just black and white - cannot print all black when a low cartridge

I had this 6700 Officejet just long enough the warranty has expired. Go figure. I have 2 problems.

1. from my PC, it will print not just black and white, even if I chose "printing black and white only. I have to go through the whole syetem of dialogue ect ect, which is delayed. It prints perfectly just black and white of my portable Macbok.

2. it won't let me print a document all in black and white, because I have a low color cartridge. Whey do I have to have color cartridges to print just a black and white document. Very annoying and frustrating. I'm almost ready to use as target.

Hi fpsolutionsllc,

Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I understand your frustration and want to enlighten us and also bring some answers to your questions about the ink on your HP OfficeJet 6700 systems.

1. you are able to go to your printer properties and change your settings for printing in black and white only, without having to change it whenever you want to print something. See the steps listed below:

* Go to your devices and printers

* Right-click on your 6700 and select Print Options

* Select your desired default and press Ok

2. you cannot print without all cartridges installed because even if printing black and white printer will still use the ink contained in the cartridges of color for maintenance tasks. It takes little ink from all cartridges in the service of the print head and avoid any clogging. To get a better understanding of take a look here: use of inkjet printers ink.

I've found this useful information here: a 'ink alert' or "Low on ink" Message appears on the computer or the printer control panel

Thank you

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910: why can I only print in black when a color cartridge is empty?

    my yellow ink is empty.  I have a new 8610 to install but to print in black only to use this ink.

    The Officejet Pro 8500 (like the Officejet Pro 8610) has separate printheads and ink supplies, with "plumbing" to connect.  You have color ink available to keep the print head and plumbing butcher, even if you are printing black only (and in your case you don't care is if the color print heads clogged).

    See here for more information on how the ink is used.  Officejet Pro printers are IIC in the terminology of this document.

  • Memory leak when just launched and the idling... corrections when used?  [HELP]

    So I'm in the stage of debugging and test my application and use of this tool for tracking memory leaks ( https://github.com/mrdoob/Hi-ReS-Stats )

    When I run my application my numbers are

    FPS: 61/60

    MS: 17

    MEM: 3.157

    MAX: 3.157

    Now my memory starts immediately from 3.157, 3.167, 3.177 3.187 3.197 and so on.

    Now, if I do any selection of nav in my application

    Changes down to approximately 3,215 MEM

    but then it starts to count down again 3,215 3,225, 3.235, 3.445 3.455

    I don't have loops that pass.

    Has anyone encounter this?

    I'm almost tempted to force garbage collection every 60 seconds that the application is inactive or something.  Not the best way to handle this...   I don't know where the leak occurs.

    Any help is appreciated!

    See you soon!

    Oh man!...   So I created a new stage and only put the Profiler on the stage... and it's the same thing.  ...    So I think it's the Profiler itself which causes memory to continue to increase.

    Then...    How can we really test my application for leaks memory, etc. ?

    I read on some sites that a cheap 4 pin cables could be a reason for a black and white TV. Try a 7 wire pins. Maybe it helps.

    But as a first step, you should also check the PAL/NTSC settings.

  • PC Windows Vista stops unexpectedly. Sometimes several times a day and sometimes not at all.

    My Windows Vista PC completely stops unexpectedly and without warning. Sometimes several times a day and sometimes not at all. When I turn it back on, sometimes I have a blue screen that tells me that the PC has experienced an unexpected shutdown and communicate with my local technician. However when turning on, I am always able to return to my office. My anti-virus support told me that it is not related to a virus. Help!

    It is likely some equipment or device driver issue (although we can not entrierly a problem of software).  I need a lot more information on this blue screen - EXACTLY what it says Word for Word with all the codes.  Read the messages and follow the procedures established by the MVP of the spirit in the following thread on the Blue Screen of Death.  They should help you solve your problem. http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/vistahardware/thread/8cd8362e-7d06-46FB-afd7-84d54b6a8ea7  I know it's long but a blue screen problems problem may take some time because there are so many different causes and we must find the right to try to identify the problem and then find a way to fix it.  One of the elements in his post is a method to prevent the system to reboot when a blue screen if you have the time to copy the information.  If the system is not turned off, but the screen does not stay up long, press prtscrn to copy the screen, then when the system boots to open Microsoft Paint, click on the Open box and click Ctrl + V to paste here you have plenty of time to copy the information and post it here so we can look at.  Do not forget to include EVERYTHING - it is unclear what could be of crucial importance.

    I repeat the procedures in the messages of the spirit in the link above - just follow them and answer back here with the results.  Want to make interim reports before the end of the stteps is perfectly OK - in fact, I suggest you do that so I can help guide you and maybe eliminate some of the steps because they will provide no information, that we don't already know (or will not solve the problem because of the information that we already know.

    A question, is your so hot PC anywhere on it that if you hold your hand on it, you will need to detach due to heat?  Overheating is a common cause of this type of problem.  Check that the fan doesn't work and all intake and exhaust ports are clean of dust, lint, or any other obstacle.  If this is a desktop computer, remove the cover and clean the entire interior to remove dust and lint and anything else that doesn't belong.  Make sure you do not loosen or detach the wiring or the accessories cards or RAM chips.  Don't bother if it's a laptop - it's too difficult to get inside to do a proper clean-up - just make sure that the fan is running and that the vents are clear.

    I hope this helps.  I look forward to your reply with your comments about what you did to the spirit and procedures for detailed information on the blue screen error.

    Good luck!

  • Cannot print in black and white when the yellow ink cartridge is low on ink

    Someone please tell me that the guy I talked to customer service is a fool and there is a way to print black and white, once your color cartridge runs out of ink.

    If this isn't the case, it's the cheapest clamp, all the money that I've ever heard of.  Someone please tell me they did sink that low.

    Printers that have individual ink cartridges (separate magenta, yellow and cyan) must have all the colors, mounted so as to ensure that the printhead to dry out and is not damaged. Some printers who have integrated print heads (that just take the 2 black and tricolor cartridges) have the ability to print in what is known as a reserve mode. That is where we remove the empty cartridge and is able to print a test page to determine if the printer can operate in reserve mode until a replacement can be purchased. The reason for the cartridges to install, is that the printer uses ink for other purposes in addition to printing. It is also used to maintain the printer. Here is a link to learn more about this topic. He will also discuss the topic of the reserve mode as well.
