DeskJet 5500: When the printer uses the 57 cartridge?

I thank very you much for your reply to my last post. Makes perfect sense.

I'm doing a huge amount of B & W / grey scale printing; I use 56 about two cartridges a week and I reload them successfully for a few tens of cycles each.

My 57 cartridges also mpty very frequently while I print almost any color - the only color is perhaps a small logo on the page.

I tried to use the gray filter in Macintosh 10.4.11 system to send a grayscale image to the printer, but the 57 cartridge still empty quickly, even if the printed color is negligible.

If the page still contains the least amount of color, 57 cartridge automatically prints the whole page, or the cartridge 56 prints black and the 57 print the little bit of color?

If the 57 prints the whole page if it contains ANY color, is there anything I can do in the impression of New York to get the printer to use the cartridge 56 instead? I took to remove the cartridge 57, but when I put again, the printer goes through the cycle of test page, I want to avoid if I can.

Thanlk in advance for your help.  I can't tell you how much it means for a user that a knowledgeable HP employee has actually answered questions through this forum. Other companies to let users themselves, often to hang in the wind without usable responses.

Many use printers, not only HP, so-called 'underprinting' this is the pose of an ink of color on the page before the black ink.  Essentially, it is a primer for the paper.  The color dries quickly and is a base for black ink, allowing it to dry and cure without spreading out on the page.  If you have already printed with the cartridges out of alignment and saw a blue or magenta shadow to your text, you see the underprinting.  That's why, when the same printing black text, the printer uses a color ink.

This printer is able to print reserve mode, which means it can print with 1 single cartridge installed.  The printing speed may be slower, but it's an easy way to make sure you are not using any color.  For reserve mode, remove the cartridge you want to use.  (Find a hermetic place to store this vertical cartridge with the nozzles pointing down as it is when it is installed in the printer, or it will dry out and become useless!)  To leave the reserve mode, put a good cart in the empty slot.

  • can you use a deskjet 970cse in black only mode when the color cartridge dries up

    can you use a deskjet 970cse in black only mode when the color cartridge dries up? Thank you, Jerry

    banhien information is very accurate. I would just add a bit of it. Because this printer uses a tricolor cartridge and a black, it should be one of the printers that will print with just the black cartridge installed. It is called print in backup mode. I should happen automatically when you remove the color cartridge and try printing. A message will arrive on the printer or the computer and ask you if you want to print in backup mode. Say yes, and it should let you print. Hope that helps.

  • How to stop the print cover sheet when you print using eprint? I have a B211A 6510

    When you print using eprint address, I get an in addition to the document cover sheet.  I'm wasting paper and ink.  How can I stop this page from printing?

    There are a few options depending on where you are sending from. If it is a document that you join I guess its from a PC, but I'll give you the mobile option as well.

    The HP ePrint app on devices like iphones and ipads, or home HP ePrint and biz app on android, allows open files and send them via eprint not at home without actually sending an email. In other words, there is nothing in the body of an email to print. The link below you shows how to start with this app and use it.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01616126

    The other option is the use of the pilot of mobile eprint from your computer. Add a printing device of your pc that actually sends jobs through eprint by clicking Print on the file menu. Using this method, you can print the elements of any application that supports printing, and you have the advantage of being able to specify duplex printing (if supported on your model) and the number of copies. It also means that you won't have to save the file, open an e-mail, attach them to an email and then send it. It is done simply by clicking file, print, and then choosing the printer after the initial installation. The link below you ask your operating system and will then download and manual on how to use the software.

    This sounds as if it were a feature of the printer driver.

    The best thing to do in this case is to contact the manufacturer of the printer.

  • HP Deskjet F380: When you print a document it prints always 4 copies

    When I PRINT a document, he still wants to print 4 copies. How default it just print a document?

    Hi Doc,

    Your explanation not a not quite do the trick, but you told me in the right direction.

    The problem: For some reason when you use Microsoft Office WORD 2007, and you want to print a document the default 'number of copies' print is stuck on 4 best (which I was able to change to 1, and then it would print 1... but if I did this it would still print 4 copies of the document). I tried to find a way within WORD to make it default to 1, but could find no way to do this. I was able to change the number of 1 in several places, but next time I want to print a document, it was back to 4 copies.

    I followed your instructions (but not remove the printer cable) and went to START, Control Panel, printers and faxes. Done right click on HP Deskjet F300 Series (would not have thought to do). There were 9 available options click on in the drop-down list box: open, printing preferences, suspend printing, sharing, use printer online, create a shortcut, delete, rename and properties. It was not an option to "remove the device.

    So I clicked on properties, advanced, paper/output, printing preferences... who said Copy Count = 4 copies. I changed 4- 1. He said then copy Count = 1 copy.  I then clicked on apply, then OK.

    And now every time I want to print a default document is to 1 copy. Thank you for pointing me to the finger printer and faxes in Control Panel. and right-click on the printer. This problem was bugs me for several weeks! Problem solved.

  • Impressions of gray out red when the yellow cartridge is empty

    Is it possible to get the printer (Officejet 6500 - E709n) to print a black and white text to grayscale with a cartridge completely black and a yellow cartridge is empty?  (I still haven't a full set of cartridges full Exchange.)

    Sorry you had a problem with the printer prints only not the correct colors when the yellow is empty.

    Need you some yellow ink cartridges in order for black print correctly. Color cartridges will blend with each other to make a true black color.

    So, you will need to replace the color cartridge or yellow first.

    Waiting for your answer, thx

    Have a wonderful day,
    Jerica

    Thanks for posting the question.

    In law, there is no support if the printer is not wireless.

    But some forums States that it can be done via OTG cable. I suggest you buy active wireless last printer.

    It might be possible to implement. It seems that the phone and the operating system has the means to print pre-installed. You also have a good OTG cable.

    Ensure that under settings > impression that the HP plug is installed and turn it on. If you do not, there are the PlayStore. Plugin of HP Printing Service< -.

    After that, just the connection to the telephone cable and the printer will allow you printed media.

    Hello team HP,

    I recently bought a HP Color Laserjet MFP M277n I printer I print black & white user only and really don't need color prints. How to set the printer options to print only black & white? How can I replace only the black cartridge when the color cartridges are empty? How many prints (approximate), we can take by toner?

    Kind regards

    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.

     
  • 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.
