  Hi @Pavumba,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

  I understand you're wondering how to use black ink only on your HP Color Laserjet M277n MFP printer. I would be glad to help 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.

  I see that you wonder if you need to replace the color cartridge when it is low. This printer is a printer AIO, therefore, you need to replace the ink cartridge when it becomes too weak to be able to resume printing. However, if you print mostly in black, you can configure a preset black only to print in black and white. This would help reduce the use of the color cartridges.

  NOTE: Composite black - 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 just black toner, many HP printers color customer offer configurable options allowing the client to print using only black toner. For example, by selecting "print in grayscale" in the printer driver Specifies print using black ink only. For more information about the use of the toner cartridges, please see this article: how the Toner is used.

   

• printer will work if the color cartridges are ink

  I have an Officejet 4620. My computer says all the ink cartridges are out of ink. I can always print in black. I need to replace the color cartridges?   The printer uses individual cartridges for red, blue and yellow cartridges. Color will be printed in blue and yellow only, so I guess there is little color left.

  I usually do not need color copies and I have another Copier.

  Hello @Connsu,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

  I would like to help you today with your color cartridge application today. Because your printer uses four cartridges: HP 564 black, HP 564 Cyan, Magenta 564 HP and HP 564 yellow, if one or all of these color cartridges are exhausted replace them to continue using the printer. Your HP Officejets ink system is designed to print when have all ink cartridges. A little ink in each cartridge is used for maintenance and maintenance tasks completed by your printer to keep the print head system in your printer in good working order.

  The print head is the part that the cartridges will fit. It controls the "reading" of the cartridges and put the ink on the page. If the printhead is not able to perform regular maintenance, due to depleted cartridges, there is a chance that the mechanism of the print head gets dirty. If the printhead is damaged in any way a whole unit replacement may be necessary. For more information about using ink please click here.

  In the future, if you mainly print in black from the computer, you can set your printer driver to use black ink only. Normally when you print from your computer files will be sent to your printer as "images". If your printer "thinks" it prints an image file that ink color will be used to enrich the black ink. If you don't want that to happen, you can enable grayscale printing option.

• I have a premeium 6700 officejet that printer will not print if ANY color cartridge is low or empty.

  I have an Officejet 6700 Premium printer e all-in-one.  I can not print if ANY color cartridge is low or empty and black is full, and I want to print something that uses black ink.  Is this what can I do to print in black only without replacing color cartridges when they are not needed for the print job? Still, I can't make any impression unless all color cartridges are not low or empty.

  Hello

  I recommend taking a look at the following document, including the section "How to print with Black Ink Only":

• Officepro HP 8600: How to bypass the color cartridges empty on my HP Officepro 8600 to print only in black

  I am wanting to print Grayscale / black only, still does not allow me to print because I have empty color cartridges.

  How can I get around this?

  I tried changing the settings

  Thank you very much

  While printing in black is only an option when the color is low, it is blocked once a cartridge is exhausted.  You will need to replace the depleted cartridge. Page 94 of the said the manual here:

  Printing in black ink or color only

  For regular use, this product does not print using only the black ink cartridge when the color cartridges are out of ink. However, your printer is designed to allow you to print as long as possible when your cartridges are starting to run out of ink.

  When there is enough ink in the print head, printer will offer you the use of black ink only when one or more cartridges color is out of ink and color ink usage only when the black cartridge is out of ink.

  • The amount that you can print using the black or color ink is only limited, so the available spare ink cartridges when printing in black ink or color only.

  • When it is no longer sufficient ink printing, you will get a message from one or more cartridges are exhausted, and you need to replace the depleted cartridges before you resume printing.

  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. The 8040 a Officejet is an example.
  • Other printers have separate replaceable printheads and inks.  An example would be the printer Officejet Pro 8600.  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 6700 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.

• HP Officejet 4650: Print in black only Document

  I try to print a color Photo of enamel, in black only.  Can't find the control to do!  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  Hi @BigJoeBronx, thank you for your generous offer

  You mentioned that you are trying to print from an email. You can try and print from other applications to see if there is an option to print in black ink only?

  If the option is not available, the issue could be with the drivers and so we may have to completely reinstall the drivers and check out them. Go to http://hp.care/2cqTjVI and follow the steps to uninstall the drivers. Restart your computer, and then visit http://hp.care/2cyJALr to download and install the latest drivers for your printer. Then try to print in' grayscale '.

  PS: Your printer supports the mode of single cartridge. So if you want to completely stop color printing you can get out the color cartridge and use only black.

  I'll watch for your reply.

  See you soon

  8500 will not print in black only when one color is out. How to print in black. I tried to reset the color management to just black but it still won't print. the page is coming from my asus laptop wireless

  The Officejet 8500 has individual inks with separate printheads and "plumbing" to connect.  It requires ink in all colors to keep the plumbing for all air and/or damage the printheads.

  Not the answer you want to hear, but you will need to replace the depleted cartridges.

• HP Officejet 4620 all in one print in black. I want color prints.

  I tried different things and can not get my printer to print in color, only black.

  If cleaning print head prints black only, either your color inks are out or the printhead to the color inks is dead.
  1. check the ink level on the printer, (key to dial, and then ink information) or you can print a "printer status report."
  2. If the ink level is reported OK, then the print head must be replaced.

• Printing printer Lexmark 2600 problems - it prints half a line after replacing the color cartridge

  It prints half a line, if the top or the bottom of it and the cutting of the other party.  This happens on every third line.

  This started happening when I replaced a color cartridge and ran the alignment page.  Before replacing the cartridge, it prints very well (except that the color cartridge started missing).   When I noticed what was going on, I took both cartridges on and then put them back in and had to print the alignment again page.  Yet the problem persists.
  I checked the Device Manager, and my drivers are up to date.  I also checked all connections.
  Any suggestions are welcome.

  Oh boy.  I don't know what I thought.  It just had to unplugging everything & then reconnect them, turn off & on.  This took care of it - seems so simple now.

  I guess it was my new laptop which has the printer all confused.  Win7, my find of CL.

  Insofar as the Lexmark support, I have not yet that day.  In any case, it comes to X 2690 model I had for centuries, so I guess that support would be of any help.  I mean, the guarantee missed a long time ago.

  Thank you for taking the time to answer.

• OfficeJet 660: My printer does not print in black only

  I want to print in black and white, but my printer does not print because my yellow ink is empty.  I tried to change the color to black and white, but it still won't print. Seems ridiculous that all would have to have something in it just to print in black and white.

  You have an Officejet 6600?  This printer has a print head permanent and separate ink supplies.  Little ink is required in all colors to print, even if you print in black only and only one of the colors came out.  (When printing in black color print head is always waving around in the air.  There are few available ink to prevent the nozzles from drying out and butcher them.)

  See here for more information on how the ink is used.  In the terminology of this document, the Officejet 6600 is an IIC printer.

  Sorry, you need to replace the ink color depleted.

• Printer does not print in black only

  I have a DellP513W printer that I'm trying to change the printing preferences - I go to start - then right click on my printer (Dell P513W).  When I go to print options - Print Setup it gives three options - print using ink all available (he is the chosen one, and I can't change it), print in black only (it's that I want to come back, but I can't change for her) and colour printing.

  I have Windows 7.

  When I try to print or copy anything, it says that I have to change my color cartridge - I won't buy another color cartridge b/c I want to print in black only!

  Does anyone know how to change the printing preferences, so I can print in black only?

  Thank you.

  You've discovered the secret of 'dirty' most inkjet manufacturers have included in their printers.  The printer and the printer driver do not print if one of the cartridges missing or empty.  This is normal, because manufacturers tend to make more money on ink than printers.   In my area, some ink cartridges are more expensive than a new printer.
