• I want to print black and white with empty color cartridge. My model is all-in-one HP Deskjet 4288.

  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.

• My 3-in-1 uses the color cartridge for copy/printing black a black paper on the glass top...

  My 3-in-1 uses the color cartridge to black for a black document on copy/printing tray, but use black cartridge to print in black from the computer itself.

  In other words:

  (1) if I have a document with a black print in Microsoft word on my hard drive and I want to print this document in black print, while the 3-in-1 works fine. In other words, is the black cartridge can print a document in black to a black document.

  (2) if I take this same document which has just been printed in black and put one on the glass and try to produce a black document thereof using the copier function, the 3-in-1 uses the color cartridge to produce the black document... .more is very slow (the same speed it would be if I were to produce one side of color of color documents.

  Of course, it cannot be the black cartridge.

  Through a long trial and error process, I got lucky and I resolved and the resolution is not what I was expecting and makes no sense to me.

  Use the settings of the printer itself, I just changed the setting from "automatic" to the "plain" paper and the setting in 'text' value 'None '.

• 8600 to empty color cartridges printing

  I've always had the option to print the black ink only, even when the color cartridges are exhausted.  Now he tells me that I can only print black and white when I color cartridges that have ink in them.  That's happened?  I'm not buying new cartridges of color until I need them.

  Thank you

  Steve

  Hi christianmichelherisse,

  Your 8600 printer will use always a little color ink for maintenance/maintenance tasks.  You can set it to only print from the black print cartridge and the ink contained in the color cartridges will be minimal.   As you know you can do it for some time.

  However, a little color ink will always be used.  This is explained in more detail in the attached document.  When the ink is completely exhausted, it must be replaced before that the printer can continue.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c04331666

  I recommend that you continue to use the settings that you chose to minimize the use of color ink.  Finally, they get used to the top and the printer cannot print with no ink in them.  This is designed to improve the print quality and keep the maintained printer.

  I hope that this document help describe you it.

• Do I have to have a color cartridge in my printer (C5550) although I only print in black and white?

  HP Photosmart C5550 - do I need to have a cartridge full color ink in my printer, even if I print only in black & white?

  I always installed one, but due to lack of use, it will dry out.  Looks like a big waste of money if I have on the machine to make it work.

  Hello

  Even just print in B & W (do not use perpetual mix), you still need to color ink cartridges because the system just asking this to 'protect' the printer.

  Sorry, I don't know the logic behind this, but it's the way the system works.

  Kind regards.

• You can install a 300 color cartridge in a printer HP F4580?

  I have a HP F4580 and have now installed a cartridge of 300 colors, although always a 121 black ink cartridge, it will not be printed, but watch the light 'number of copies' who has no sense because there is paper and it's on the printing mode. The cartridge 300 certainly works in this printer?

  Then put the two black and 300 in the printer ready simply with colored paper, when it is not. How can I solve this problem?

  Hi jamiemanuel,

  You will have to contact HP support to find out if the 300 color cartridge would work with printer HP F4580.

• 60XL color cartridge won't print on my C4650

I tried to diagnose the problem with the HP Solution Center, shows the cartridge as full, clean the cartridge 3 x still no color. I use HP brand ink cartridges. Is there a cartridge or a printer problem? Thanks in advance for any answers.

  OK, at this point, I would try to clean the contacts cartrdige and the printer as shown here (for a different model, but same idea).

  If the cartridge is defective and an original HP (not), you should be able to get a replacement as described here.

• 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.

• 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.
