2. go into devices and printers.

3. right click on the printer, select printing preferences

4. in the lower right corner, select Advanced

5. and then under features of the printer select print grayscale a dropdown list will appear to black ink only.

  • OfficeJet 4630: 4630 can print grayscale using only the black cartridge?

    I have purchased a printer 4630 and want to use it like I did my old PSC1350 - using only the black cartridge for all printing. I can't find any setting of grey for the 4630 that will allow for this. With the 1350, the grayscale setting would prevent any color ink cartridges is used, an unnecessary expense for printing in black on white paper.

    If there is no setting on the 4630 grey scale, can I be sure that black ink is used only for printing without color?

    Hello @clif9710!

    Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

    Your printer Officejet 4630 should be able to print in gray scale and the options should be in the window of the printer printing preferences.  I was able to locate a document regarding the changing settings in windows 7 print.

    If you do not get the options to print in gray scale you will need to uninstall the HP software, including the old software, restart the computer and re-install the HP Officejet 4630 software again.

    To uninstall the software HP click here: uninstall the HP software

    To download the HP software, click here: driver and software Officejet 4630

    Another good thing about the Officejet 4630 is that it allows to print mode single cartridge.  cartridges for your printer built in print heads which means that it requires no 2 print cartridges.  If you never use the Tricolor cartridge or you are planning on printing in black, you can remove the Tricolor cartridge, put the cap of the cartridge down and close the lid.  The printer should now say "mode single cartridge printing.  Once the printer is closed upwards, you can send your print job and it will print using only the black cartridge one!

    Thanks again for posting on the forums of HP and post back and let me know how it goes!

  • HP Color Laserjet M277n MFP: How to use the black cartridges only when the color toners are empty

    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

    Christèle

    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.

     
  • How do I change computer to use only the black cartridge for print on PSC 950 h

    I'm having a problem with my hp psc 950 printer - when I try to copy something it gives me an error to support code on enter to align cartridges-i do this and it is not always copy - how can I change the printer to use only black ink, the color cartridge is probably more good, I just changed black ink and I really don't need the color in my copies - all solutions would be greatly appreciated

    Thank you

    Hi yalulu,

    I understand that you do not use the black cartridge only. I find the features page and the manual for the PSC 950 but did not find that I was looking for. I would suggest trying to use the printer in mode single cartridge, but I am not sure if the printer supports this feature, that's what I was looking for.

    Try out both cartridges, then put in black only. If this does not work, the only other suggestion I have is to replace the color cartridge.

    You can use the below document to troubleshoot color cartridge, select the document that best describes the issue, or take a look at the same time. You can find these useful.

    I hope this helps to solve the problem you are experiencing.

  • HP Photosmart 3310: Using only the black cartridge

    Suffice it for the most part to print text in black, but it seems to exhaust all my color at a speed that is ridiculous and expensive cartridges.  How can I use the black cartridge only?  I use an iMac and iPad (for remote printing)

    Hi @Cambridge29,

    I see that you would like to know how to print with just the black cartridge, save the color for color printing cartridges.
    I would like to help.

    I understand your frustration, I don't really. However, this printer uses same color inks when printing in black only. If run out you of color and kept black printing only, you provoquerez problems with the print head. It is the the user guide for your printer, refer to page 148. Series of all-in-one Photosmart HP 3300

    You can have a setting in the print driver to print in grayscale, which uses fewer colors.

    Application, go to file, print to display the print screen. Here is a screenshot where to access the settings of the print screen driver. Then you can save the setting as a preset.

    What operating system do you use? Mac OS X: how to find which Mac OS X Version is on my computer?

    If there is anything else I can help you, let me know.

    Good day!
    Thank you.

  • HP Deskjet 690C: HP Deskjet 690C printing with only the black cartridge?

    I have an old deskjet 690C I have a while to use it. So since I need to print only the text is it possible to install only the black cartridge and print as ink backup? Also are there drivers for windows 7 64 bit? And finally this printer works with a parallel to usb on a modern PC adapter?

    Thank you

    According to me, the Deskjet 690C requires both cartridges to be present for printing, although you might have a cartridge empty color installed.  The 'ink backup mode' feature was added later at the 690c Deskjet printer.

    There is a Windows 7 x 64 driver through Windows Update, see the image below.

    Regarding the USB-parallel converters, these can be problematic.  The models in the posts here have been verified to work on Windows 7 x 64 by users in the forum.

  • Photosmart C7280 all in one printer keeps giving me expired ink cartridge warning

    My Photosmart C7280 all in one printer Guard giving me expired ink cartridge warning.  The cartridge has expired, but I want to continue to use it as it still has ink.  Is it possible to turn off these warnings to be boring?  I can't print until I have to recognize them!

    @ CoolBreeze202 - I'm sorry that you are having this problem with the ink cartridges and the ink expiration error message.  You can try to clean the contacts on the cartridge and the contacts inside the machine to ensure that built up on the parts are not the source of the error message. Pages 163 and 164 of the user manual will show a manual cleanup process.

    I would also do a hard reset to the printer to try to clear the error message and return the printer to a known working state. No user settings are lost with a hard reset.  Here is a link that will show you how to do a hard reset on this machine.
