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.

    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.

  • DeskJet 3050 can operate with only the black cartridge?

    I wonder if the printer can operate with only black ink? The manual says that the printer can operate in single-cartridge. My previous color and black ink run out. So I installed a new black cartridge. However, the warning light is still on indicating there is no ink, and he says "door open". Thank you.

    Hi Alice, yes you can use the single cartridge

    Use single-cartridge
    Use single-cartridge use the HP all-in-one with only one cartridge.
    Mode single-cartridge begins when an ink cartridge is removed from the print
    transport of the cartridge. In the mode single-cartridge, the product can only print jobs to the
    computer.
    NOTE: When the HP all-in-one device operating in mode single-cartridge, 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.

  • 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!

  • DeskJet 6122 print with only black print cartridge?

    I had this oldy but goody through local Freecycle (with two sets of ink!) list after knowledge full it works under Linux and openprinting.org it lists as working perfectly. Plug and play installation with Ubuntu, instantly recognized 14.04.

    I think it is indicated only by old-school print/head of cartridge type, but I should be able to use it with the black cartridge only right? I know most recent will force you to have both. I love that the cartridge for the price are very economical too.

    The Deskjet 6122 requires a black cartridge and electric sound color must be installed in the printer to print.  It is not necessary to have ink in all colors, but both cartridges must be installed.

  • 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.

  • E-all-in-one printer, HP Deskjet 3520: HP Deskjet 3520 printer with black cartridge 364

    I tried to insert a 364 black cartridge in the printer. The 364XL black fits perfectly, but the 364 ordinary cartridge seems to be too narrow to fit.

    Am I stupid? Is there a technique for the Assembly of the 364 cartridge?

    Help please.

    The regular black cartridge must be installed in the center of the space, with an equal distance on each side.

    Additionally, make sure that you use the black cartridge 364 (with the symbol of the Pentagon) rather than the Photo-364 (with the butterfly or butterfly knot symbol).  The photos below show the 564 cartridge, but is the same for the 364.

    364 black cartridge has a Pentagon on the cartridge but a circle on the box...  The Photo cartridge has a butterfly on the cartridge and a camera on the box node.

  • 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.
