HP 4480 print with the color cartridge only.

The all-in-one Deskjet printer copied a page and printed it happened to be all black text, and I did the copy without using the computer.  When I tried to do the same thing with the second page, only a small symbol of color in this page appeared on the paper.  I tried a new black cartridge, without result; the alignment sheet was only the blue rectangles and an arrow pink.  I tried to clean the printer heads and saw only the colored rectangles, not blacks, on the test page.

There are a few spots on a page where the ink is gray instead of black, but everything is readable.  Maybe I soaked too long cartridge.

  • Photos are not print with the photo cartridge

    Hello

    I have a Photosmart e 7510 and am trying to print photos.  I have installed HP Premium paper and HP Photo cartridge installed.  When I print the photos that are green - I printed both a progress report and a report of print quality and the cartridge photo is full but the magenta is empty.  It seems to me that the photos are print with regular color cartridges and not the photo cartridge.  Or photos using all the cartridges?  I correctly on all the printer settings and chose to 'better' than the quality of the photo.

    Any help is appreciated...

    The photo cartridge is just black photo, which is used to improve the nuances of black and colors in a photo. When photos are printed colours would be used to create the best possible performance. I could replace the magenta cartridge and printing resumes and see if that solves the Green tinting the problem you are currently experiencing. I hope this helps.

  • Photosmart C310: What models allow a black-and-white printing with low color cartridge?

    I'm looking to replace my old HP Photosmart Premium all-in-One printer, because it works with reliability more. My biggest problems with this model are:
    1.)
    I can't print in black and white when one or more of the color cartridges must be replaced
    2.)
    The black ink cartridges work only sporadically. I lost a lot of money on the black ink cartridges that do not work, and I tried all the techniques of troubleshooting many times and no solution.
    3.)
    I hate having to spend $100 + to replace the cartridges. It's such a scam!

    I have teenagers who need the ability to print the homework on a very regular basis and in a timely. I can't spend another frantic morning, trying to get a printer (with new cartridges) to print!

    I hope someone with a knowledge of the range of HP products can explain different types of all-in-one printers available to me... and which would be best suited to my needs. Ideally, I'd like to find one that allows to print in black and white ONLY when the color cartridges are low or exhausted - if there is such a thing?

    Thanks in advance for any info, tips or advice anyone could offer!

    Hi @katvit74,

    While I don't have any specific purchasing advice @katvit74, I can offer a few troubleshooting tips to see whether your printer is at the end of his life.

    You're not the first to express frustration at having to have impoverished the cartridges replaced to continue printing. Personally, I suggest to use grayscale options, when printing so that the colored inks not so quickly adjust upward. Frankly, after reading your post again, I feel that you don't have want to solve your Photosmart Premium.

    I value your time and do not want you to feel like I don't have. That being said, we will encircle your initial request. Maybe you would rather a system printer for 2 ink that the cartridge supports single mode, or maybe a Laserjet that prints black only. The printer you choose should be based on your needs. According to me, the best way I can help is to offer you the tool product Advisor.

    Tool advice product is designed to target the product most suitable for your particular needs. Please answer all questions to give us the most complete picture of your needs - more information you provide, the more efficiently, we can recommend.

  • HP 5530: Black-and-white printing with no color cartridge

    Two questions please.

    (1) this printer print black and white if the color cartridge is empty or not placed on printer at all.

    (2) I have been using HP 61 XL.  Is HP 61 the same quality as HP XL 61

    Thank you.

    Hey @Kathiebronx,

    I see that you have questions about the desire 5530 e - all - in - one printer. I can answer those for you.

    (1) the 5530 envy has a system of two cartridges so it will print with a black cartridge in the printer.

    (2) 61 and 61XL cartridges are both HP cartridges. The printer must be able to print with the same quality that you were using a regular cartridge or a cartridge XL.

  • Uneven printing with the new cartridge

    I have a Color LaserJet 2605dn printer and have just replaced the magenta cartridge - previous leaked toner in the printer.

    The new cartridge does not print evenly.  It is the color at the center of the page, gradually fading to almost nothing on both sides.  I printed several pages and gave the cartridge a series or shake well, nothing helps.  The other cartridges are more than half full and print perfectly.

    This suggests a problem with the new cartridge?  Or is there anything else I can try?

    Thank you.

    See attachment.  Not for the faint at heart.

  • DeskJet 2132: Do not print with the new cartridge

    I bought this printer only about a month. I've exhausted the original black ink cartridge, so I bought a new one (genuine HP 63XL).

    I installed the new cartridge and the alignment page is printed, but only the parts of printing color, no black. I tried to print a test page, once again, not black. The ink level software shows that the new cartridge is full.

    I tried to put back the cartridge several times and made sure the protective film is removed completelu.

    I tried to remove the new cartridge to print mode single cartridge. The test page comes out fine; but, when I try to print a document in this way, the printer WILL NOT PRINT AT ALL. There is a little red light next to the black point near the power button.

  • HP Deskjet 1000 J110: Intense black print with the black ink cartridge only

    Hello

    I am trying to print the darkest possible black, but simply by using the black ink cartridge. How do I get there?

    My printer is HP deskjet 1000 J110 using cartridge HP 301.

    I do my drawing in Adobe Illustrator and set the color to be CMYK 100 100 100 100.

    If I insert only the black cartridge, the printer will leave empty place where color CMY ink should be or it will fill the space with black ink?

    Basically, what I'm trying to do is to increase the density of ink to the highest possible but only using only the black cartridge.

    Thank you.

    Welcome @didididot,

  • D7360 does not print in "Black Only", unless the color cartridges are also not empty

    I try to print a document in grayscale mode with Photosmart D7360 printer.

    In the Print Setup dialog explicitly checks the possibility of using 'Black Print Cartridge Only'.

    The printer refuses to print, in saying:

    «The following ink cartridges are empty: Light Cyan.» Replace the ink cartridges to resume printing.

    "The printer doesn't have enough ink to ensure printer health. Empty ink cartridges need to be replaced to resume. »

    This means that even if it does not use the color cartridges, each of them must be non-empty when the printer is in operation?

  • 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.
