HP Deskjet F4480: Can I use just black ink in my printer HP Deskjet F4480?

I have a HP Deskjet F4480 printer.  I only use it to print in black ink.  Is it possible to use only black ink in the printer (which is much cheaper)?  Thanks for any help you can provide.

Grayscale is more useful for printers that have four or more cartridges. You can find on the feature by clicking on this link, but I'm not positive how useful it will be for you.

Insert a black cartridge in the color slot will not have to act as a backup cartridge. The printer will see that it is not a color cartridge and refuses to read or use it.

Please let me know if that solves your problems.

  • How to use omly black ink on my printer?

    I have a brother mfc-j410w. How can I configure it to use black ink only?

    Then download the software user's Guide*-on Page 12, you will see how to select grayscale to print in black and white.

    If you do this because your color cartridge is empty so not all printer software will allow you - it can insist that there is a current non-empty color cartridge. Test it by trying or contact the support of brother for advice:

  • HP Photosmart 7510 won't use photo black ink

    I have a photosmart 7510 printer and I am printing from microsoft word 2010 on a windows 8. I print a word with no pictures in document. Printer preferences are on plain paper with normal quality. I can't the printer to use the XL Black ink cartridge. It only uses photo black ink. Is there a setting that I can choose to let him use the regular black ink?

    Hi shirsar,

    I understand that you have a Photosmart 7510 which seems to use a lot more than regular black ink black photo. I'm sorry to hear that, but think I can help you with a solution.

    You can set the printer to use only black ink when printing from the PC and ensures that it uses black ink and no ink picture. My instructions will be set up in the pilot if he does for all programs (if you just want to program it please let me know, and I advise you more). You'll want to start by going to your start screen, and simply start typing devices and printers, and you want to open that (if that is not in the work Panel type and then proceed to open devices and printers). Once the devices and printers is open, right-click on your Photosmart 7510 icon and select Printing Preferences. You'll want to then click on the Advanced Options button at the bottom right of the screen. The next page that appears will allow you to set the printer to use black ink only when printing from the PC (please follow the screenshot below for any clarification).

    Hope this helps, have a nice day!

  • Photosmart 7510 - I want to use only black ink since I don't have all the need for a color.

    Photosmart 7510 - I want to use only black ink since I mainly use this for work and don't have all the need for a color. If I have more ink, can I just replace the black and it still work? Thank you very much for any information you may have!

    Hello

    I did a few test last year, you can print black only master always need color ink for the printer. Black setting only as a default printer will only print black and it consumes a little over heating of the process color inks. In short, it will not be printed correctly when run out of color ink (s) or does not start at all.

    Kind regards.

  • stop of using photo black ink to print black text and where is past the color ink?

    My HP Photosmart Prem C310 series all-in-one is using the Photo black ink cartridge for printing of text instead of the Black XL that I put in for the printing of the text. How can I use the right to print cartridge? In addition, even if I haven't printed ANY photo and a few pages of text from the new series of color cartridges that I put in, a few months ago are almost empty. Why? How could they be almost empty when I haven't printed anything in color? This is getting ridiculous replacement cartridges every few months WHEN I WAS NOT PRINT anything!

    The ink cartridges game accompanying lasted several months. Since then, I've been through two sets in less than a year. It is 3 sets of ink cartridges when I printed only 3 photo when I first put in place. And have only used the than a 1/4 of a pack of paper to print. I put only two times more paper in it. Whenever it was an inch to 1/4 or 3/8 of a stack of thick inch of paper in the tray. I even tried to close the low printer so its not used for a long period of time, but the ink is still disappear. Where's he going? Why is it okay? How can I stop it? This is ridiculous. I may as well junk the thing even if it still works, because I can not aford to keep feeding ink when its just sitting there doing nothing most of the time.

    Thank you

    The c310a will use the photo black for printing in black if photographic Support is selected in the paper type, or if the setting is automatic and media are detected as photographic support.

    This printer has to separate supplies for printing and ink heads and little ink is required in all the colors to avoid the print head clogged.  The page here discusses how ink is used.

  • Why my printer won't use his black ink cartridge

    I recently bought a printer officejet 7500 a large format. We use it at home with a computer wireless windows laptop and my mac running OS X 10.6.8

    No matter what I put in the black and white print settings, etc., he will not use his black ink cartridge. It uses color for all printing cartridges no matter what it is. It becomes very expensive and annoying. Since the purchase of the printer, I bought a black cartridge HP new from PC world real.  Since the purchase of this, he has never used since.

    What we're doing wrong?

    Thank you.

    If the device does not black ink print, it may be a couple different things, the cause.  Have you tried to run the print head alignment feature in the configuration menu of the printer?

    If the unit is not aligned correctly, while she can have colors (including black in this) lack of printed documents.  Check out the steps described in the document, found here, to solve a problem of printing such as this one.

    and black and white printing only with color expired ink in there?

    Hi @peanut7949,

    I believe, with this model, you can continue printing with inks has expired. That being said, if you replace only the black ink and continue to print with others (expired), it should be fine.

    Here's what I could find on the subject:

    Each ink cartridge has an expiration date to protect the printing system and ensure a good quality ink. The cartridge expiration date appears on line 53 of the free test report.

    You can try to unlock the black cartridge using a cotton swab soaked in hot water.

    Turn the printer off by removing the power cable.

    Remove the black cartridge & you we see a wire mesh DAB gently with the Q-Tip.
