How can I make my ink cartridges last longer?

We have a Photosmart Premium printer.  We do not a lot of printing, less than once a week.  In a very short period of time, although we've printed little, the cartridge reports as dry.

What can we do to extend the life of a cartridge?  More moisture in the House?  Remove whenever we fill a print job and wrap them tightly?  We have a machine which empty things, really empty, not just suck some air.  That would help?

Also, should I expect if I specify black and white, or print project, if only the color cartridge is dry to the printer?

Thank you

Peggy

@ PeggyJane - to add to what banhien provided, to answer your last question about the color of inks and settings; It depends on the printer. Some printers take individual ink cartridges, which means a cartridge cyan, magenta and yellow. These printers print when one of the cartridges may work to dry that can damage the printhead to the inside of the printer. There are other printers that take a black and then a tricolor cartridge where yellow, cyan and magenta all come in a cartridge and print head is integrated in the 2 cartridges that you buy for this ink delivery system. Some of these printers have the ability to print reserve mode. This is where you can remove the empty cartridge and continue printing. It is noted also that the ink is used in the printer by other means beyond just printing. The printer will also ink for maintenance purposes. Here a link to another document which explains the use of ink and the release of other factors that can affect a printer. I hope this helps.

  • HOW can I SUBSTITUTE of INK CARTRIDGE EXPIRATION IN HP all-in-one 8600

    HOW can I SUBSTITUTE of INK CARTRIDGE EXPIRATION IN HP all-in-one 8600

    Hi @jfinny,

    I am able to provide you with more information about your printer model 8600 and its ink delivery system.

    Only some models of HP printers supports a substitution.

    If supported by your printer, when you print, you should be prompted to press OK on the printer to continue.

    If you do not get the prompt to click OK, your printer will deal with the similarly outdated cartridge as it does a cartridge missing or empty. It is designed to protect the entire printhead inside the unit.

    You can view more information about these resources:
    Consumable inkjet HP - ink Expiration

    Cannot print when one of the HP ink cartridges is empty

    You can also take a look at the limited warranty for print HP ink and print heads replaceable by the customer of consumables HP inkjet cartridges.

    I found this information in the HP Officejet Pro 8600 - User Guide, but I don't know if it helps at all;

    Used with this printer HP cartridges contain a memory chip that helps with the use of the printer. More, this memory chip collects a limited set of information about the use of the printer, which may include the following: the date when the cartridge has been installed, the date where the cartridge of the last use, the number of pages printed using the cartridge, coverage of the page printing modes used, any printing error that occurred and model of printer. This information helps HP design future printers to meet the printing of our customers needs.

    To disable the collection of usage information:
    1. on the printer control panel, press the arrow to the rightand then press Setup.
    2. Select Preferences, and then on cartridge chip information.
    3. press OK to disable the collection of usage information.

    NOTE: If you disable the memory chip's ability to collect information on the use of the printer, you can still continue to use the cartridge in the printer HP.

    I would like to know if there is anything else I can do to help.

    I look forward to hear from you!

    Thank you

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus fried by storm - how can I removed the ink cartridges

    A storm on the last week my OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus feeding dish. The printer is irretrievably economic so I ordered a new printer.

    Without power, the transport of ink cartridge is stuck in extreme right position where it is impossible to remove the four ink cartridges relatively new. Ink is not cheap... would like to be able to recover the disabled printer ink cartridges but cannot understand how the cart release.

    Any sugguestions would be appreciated.

    In the end from the deceased by removving Assembly ADF/scanner printer ink cartridges. This provided access from the top to the distribution of ink stuck.  T10 Torx driver required to remove all.

    The new printer will not accept the cartridges retrieved when installing printer... had to use the "setup" cartridges in the box with the new printer.

    After you configure the new printer, however, I've been able to 'Set up' cartridges for almost new XL cartridges that I had recovered from my old printer.

  • Firefox keeps displaying old site, ff mobile detects the new site. How can I make Office go to the new site?

    I moved my site from the old host of godaddy. updated the dns at register.com. On my phone android with firefox, I can see the new site, after I dropped the wifi and went to the data. On my desk and my husband two computers, we can only see the old site, even after clearing cache. How can I make Firefox displays the new site?

    You can reload webpages and ignore the cache to refresh potentially stale or corrupt.

    • Hold down the SHIFT key and click the Reload button
    • Press 'Ctrl + F5' or 'Ctrl + Shift + R' (Windows, Linux)
    • Press 'Command + shift + R' (Mac)

    You can delete all data stored in Firefox with a specific area through "Forget this Site" in the context menu of a history entry ("" history > view history "or" view > sidebar > History "") or via the subject: permissions page.

    Using "Forget this Site" will delete all data stored in Firefox in this area as bookmarks, cookies, words of past, cache, history, and exceptions, so be careful and if you have a password or other data from that domain you don't want to lose then check that back up these data or make a comment.

    You can't recover from this "forget" unless you have a backup of the files involved.

    It has no lasting effect, so if come back you on such a 'forgotten' site, then the data of this Web site will be saved once more.

  • How can I make my downloads arrive automatically in my download folder?

    Hello

    I had some problems when I download things, they do not appear in my default download folder.

    Which isn't really a problem because I can always open using winrar zip files, but that's all, only .zip files.

    My question is: How can I make my downloads arrive automatically in my download folder?

    I need it very urgent because I need a few PowerPoint presentations that my teacher and classmates have upload but can't open them because they are not .zip files.

    Thanks in advance!

    Always download it directly in your file by default when you click Save to save a download.  But if you click on "save under" pop opens a dialog box, your default download folder is not considered nor asked from the registry at all.  In fact the browser don't even remember the last folder you had open here in a dialog box, which is a service "ideally" provided by the dialog manager common shell.

    For your table, you can set a single like this:

    not normally.

    but you can do (now)

    select PIDM, FORM_ID, TEACHER, 'REC'||TEACH_SEQ TEACH_SEQ from INSERT_TE
    
    PIDM     FORM_ID     TEACHER     TEACH_SEQ
    1106651     TE     Teacher, Alber Howard     REC1

    2321241     TE     Teacher, Silly Billy      REC1
    

    and use the last column to update you...
