HP 6600: why can I not print with only black when I have only black cartridge in hp 6600 as hp 4500'?

and he always says that color cartridges are leaking so I had to make one more only accepts black and I can not print with only black.

How can I print with only black when I have the only black in the printer.

Why only black does not work with the color cartridges.

What is the error message you see with the color cartridges installed?

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. 5665 envy is an example.
    • Other printers have separate replaceable printheads and inks.  An example would be the printer Officejet Pro 8610.  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 6600 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.

  • Why can I not print directions using mapquest?

    Suddenly, there is no response when I click on the print icon when you use mapquest (I left Explorer for this reason several years after it updated). In addition, when I click on the "Print" icon with fidelity - I no longer have an answer.

    I use Classic Mapquest and when I click on the button PRINT on Mapquest, it does nothing and do not print Mapquest directions. When I try in the Google Chrome browser, the print instructions works very well.

  • HP Envy 4500: URGENT - HP Envy 4500 does not print with only a black cartridge

    Hello

    My HP Envy 4500 will not be black and white print with just the black cartridge. I want to use the color cartridge, which is almost empty. Result: my pages get printed in a greenish color. I can't select the option "only use black cartridge" in the print option either (it is disabled). I tried to delete the printer and re - install again but it doesn't change anything. I use a Mac with os x 10.6.

    I need to print important documents quickly, so any quick help is more than welcome!

    Thank you

    Use single-cartridge use the HP ENVY 4500 series with only one cartridge.

    Mode single-cartridge begins when an ink cartridge is removed from the distribution of ink cartridges.

  • Why can I not print in black and white only?

    Why is the HP Officejet Pro 8600 more unable to print black and white only if the black cartridge is not empty?

    What I mean is that I went into the settings to set the printer to print black and white only but also print text in black only.  Yet, I HAVE to replace the cyan, magenta and yellow cartridges, because they are exhausted.  Nothing to do with black printing, whereas a SEPARATE black cartridge is and is always full should cyan, magenta and yellow ink?

    I'm aggravated about how the driver for this printer is designed TO FORCE me to buy cartridges not black when I deliberately put printing be BLACK ONLY.  I'm unable to move forward with my impression.  This is considered to be a show-stopper and is unacceptable as the setting that I've assigned and exhausted cartridges message contradict each other.  If the adjustment is made for print in black and white only including text, then print black and white, because I know that the black ink is still available.

    Take into consideration that printing may take place at any time.  Not being able to use black as my other color (WHICH IS NOT EMPTY AND IS A SEPARATE CARTRIDGE) forces me to stop.  I can't go forward until the store open.  Wal-Mart isn't always an option.   It's lost time.

    The inability to switch to self-supply to meet to use the black cartridge is only a waste of time.

    Call it for what it is, a form of ransom. HP wants me to spend the money on the color cartridges that have nothing to do with black and white printing.   When I am ready to print in color, which should be a time of my choosing.

    Either way, the form, which I am trying to print is black and white only.  No color is on this form.  It is foolish to force printing in color to a black and white document.

    Hello

    Specially protect the print heads printers much NEED other inks even they only print in black. During the warm-up process, printers require all inks so they can stop before we continue. Some printers allow printing (especially those who have the ink tank three colors), but they can print at a speed of snail baby.

    Kind regards.

  • Why can I not print email?

    First of all, let me say that I printed the e-mails in the past. Email rec store retail with integrated discount coupon. I click on 'get pass '.

    within the email, and a new screen opens with ONLY the coupon.  There is, however, NO PRINT OPTION TO BE FOUND ANYWHERE ON THAT NEW SCREEN.  Tried right clicking all over the place to no effect either.  Only response seen on your help area is that it sounds like a printer problem.  It is NOT a printer problem.
    

    No, it's not a printer problem. It is a problem of the user. When you click on this link the window that opens is your web browser. Thunderbird has no way of even knowing what your browser. Your operating system has this information. Thunderbird pass only the link along the operating system with a request to open in the default browser. This is point 1.

    Print almost always accessible when the menus are hidden using shortcut keys. This is point 2. For most applications windows, the shortcut key is Ctrl + P and it works in Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer.

    Forum software identifies you as a display using Forefox 38 I guess Ctrl + P will work very well for you. Also note that by pressing F10 can do the convening of menu bar. As can simply by pressing the ALT key.

  • Why CS4 is not opeining with camera raw when reinstalled in the new Mac Mini?

    Just bought a Mac Mini and installed from disc my CS4. It does not shot with the Canon 50 d raw files, but will open taken with Canon 20 d raw files. This photoshop CS4 worked very well for ALL of these files when it was installed in my old Mac Pro (2006 Vintage) tower. Why it works for a group of files and not the other? What could hurt in the relocation process?

    It seems that ACR is not updated to the new facility, try running ACR 5.7 update for CS4 can check.
