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

Gunther

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.

  • OfficeJet 4500 G510: officejet 4500 does not print with the new computer

    Bought a new lenovo so it of a new computer running Windows 10 and cannot get printing to work with her.  He moved with a wired ethernet, or even wireless, but does print the test page or anything like that.

    Have uninstalled and reinstalled several times without success.

    Tried to install with a USB cable and that crashes, even bought a new cable and still nothing.

    I put off and then to refresh the printer and that did not help either.

    Installing updated drivers and the computer sees the printer and says it is ready and works fine, but do not print.  Convenience store can't find no problem either.

    The printer works perfectly with my iPad in the next room is not the printer.  So for now I have to send my documents to myself and print from the iPad, which is annoying.

    Any thoughts?

  • 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 my printer does not print with Windows 8?

    Why my printer does not print with Windows 8?

    Did you just upgraded or purchased a new computer with Windows 8, and now you can't get your printer to work?  If so, this can help you.  Many people have questions about the installation of their printer on a new OS.  This will help you answer these questions and make sure you get everything installed.

    Before you start

    Before you try to install the printer on a Windows 8, you should check to make sure that the printer is compatible with the new OS.  The link below will give you a list of printers that will work in Windows 8.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03168175

    If you have upgraded your computer to Windows 8 formed another version of Windows, make sure all software uninstall complete of your printer.  It should still print, but to use all the features, you will need to reinstall the software, if available.

    Another thing to consider is how you want to connect the printer to the computer.

    1. USB.  You must ensure that you have a USB cable which does not exceed 6 feet (about 2 m).  Be sure to connect the printer directly to the computer.  Do not use a USB hub.

    2. Ethernet cable.  Make sure you have the network configuration, you have a free cable port on the router, and you have an available Ethernet cable.

    3. Wireless.  You must ensure that you have the configuration of the wireless network, and you have the password of the wireless network.

    1. installation Via USB

    Installation via USB in Windows 8 became much simpler for users of HP printer.  In other versions of the Windows operating system, you need to launch the installation and wait that it asks for the USB connection.  If you do not, you will need to uninstall the printer from the devices and printers folder and then launch the installation.  In Windows 8, which won't be a problem.  If you plug the USB cable from the printer and then install the printer software, work remains.  Now for in depth instructions on installing the printer via the USB port click on the link below.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03521864

    2 installation Via an Ethernet network connection

    For an Ethernet connected printer, the installation is disconcerting.  All you have to do is to connect the printer to the network.  Once you have done so, Windows 8 will automatically install the drivers for you.  Then, all you have to do is install the rest of the software, if available.  It's really as simple as that.

    http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/support-drivers.html

    3 installation Via a wireless network connection.

    For a wireless printer, network installation is disconcerting.  All you have to do is to connect the printer to the network.  Once you have done so, Windows 8 will automatically install the drivers for you.  Then, all you have to do is install the rest of the software, if available.  It is roughly the same as just Wireless Ethernet installation.

    http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/support-drivers.html

    Alternative installation methods

    With Windows 8, the drivers of many printers are installed with the operating system.  These are called pilots InOS, since they come built-in to the operating system.  If you have one of these printers, you should have to do simply connect it to the computer via USB, or connect to the network via Ethernet or wireless.  Once you have that makes Windows will take care of the rest.  There are other methods of installation of your printer if normal methods don't work for some reason any.  You can install the printer is using the printer, or through Windows Updates Setup Wizard.

    Set printer wizard:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02681060

    Windows Update:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03460648

    Note: The drivers of Laserjet for the Asia-Pacific and the Japan will come only at a later date.  See below the link support site for the availability of the driver.  I will update this post once they become available.

  • Printer does not print with new cartridges

    After I changed the cartfidges the printer does not print anything. No black and no color. Out of curiosity, I noticed that the old cartridges were still half full because I compared the weight. So I put the inside once again but not print. Only a few pale almost unreadable characters. This happens usually when the printer is dirty then I ask for a cleaning. But I'm still without printer.

    My printer is a HP 980CXi and I have now, I was very satisfied. I've heard that some printers are programmed to be used a period determined, while they are blocked. If this is the case. Please be so kind to tell me does not search for a solution. Too bad I bought a pair of cartredges for nothing.

    Hello Yaio,

    Welcome to the HP Forums.

    I see that you experience a problem when you attempt to print in black ink and color.

    First of all, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a bar/power strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer for example, but it is intended for HP products in general. Please click the link which explains the problems when connected to an uninterruptible power supply/Strip/surge protector power.

    I also suggest that you take a free cloth and some bottled water and clean the contacts on the ink cartridges as well as contacts in the printer and then dry them off, reinstall the ink and try a test print.

    If troubleshooting doesn't help not solve your problem, then I would say call the HP Technical Support to see all the other possibilities for you. If you call in North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, please click here: click here.

    Thanks for your time.

  • HP ENVY 4504: HP ENVY 4504 does not print black ink even with full cartridge

    Used by my office printer is not printing black ink. It does not, it is out of black ink, but anything on a page I print requiring black ink is absent. I checked the cartridge to see if she had missed and the printer was not to tell me, but she didn't. I also tried to put in a new black ink cartridge, but it wouldn't print black to help anyone.

    There is no problem with color printing and the problem started only today. The black cartridge is certainly compatible with this printer as it had been good working with it so far.

    We bought this printer less than a year ago now.

    Until outside to change the cartridges I also turned the printer off and on again, but neither helped.

    I would appreciate greatly any assistance that we currently only this one printer at the office and we rely on it for a lot of work.

    Thank you very much.

    Ink cartridge information after doing all the recommendations of HP:

    Once you check the vents turn the cartridge and check the underside near the opening of the ink.  They can be of four plastic tabs near the opening are resurrected.  Make sure that the raised tabs are removed and made flush with the body of the cell.  This will cause the cartridge do not do sit properly in all of the print head and cause air that are expected.  This will affect especially the black ink cartridge.

    In particular, let us know if you find the above to be true.

  • HP Envy 7645: HP Envy 7645 does not print after installation (Windows 8 64-bit)

    I have a weird problem with the HP Envy 7645. After going through the movements to print anything, documents word to pages web, the printer does not print the document and somehow work not even end in the windows print queue. I ran all the diagnosis of HP and there is no connectivity problem, be it wireless or USB connected. No one else in my family have printing problems (we use XP, use another 8.1 and a mac user). The printer prints a test page and a page of diagnosis of the HP software, but will fail to print a windows test page 8. Also the windows 8 printer troubleshooting tool detects any problems with the printer. I'm a bit of a loss.

    I saw a similar question on these cards with the HP Envy 5530 and wonder if it should be the same solution. However, after watching this Board, it requires the name change of a different .dll extension that I don't see with the 7645, but I was wondering if it could be something similar. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

    UPDATE: I solved the problem yesterday, but not by the above method, I had tried earlier. I tried a solution for the 5530 envy and it worked. I completed all the steps, including get adobe flash. Only, I have encountered a problem and has been updated to adobe flash. It would download, but as soon as it starts to install, I get a message: "this user has not sufficiently privleges." If you get this error, I'll post the links I used to solve the problem below the solution. I do not guarantee they will work, but they did for me. If not, just follow the step by step solution below:

    EDIT: I forgot to mention that, before using the links to solve the problem of permission with adobe, I had created another account to administrator in Windows 8 and activate the default Administrator account, which is hidden. None of these solutions had solved the problem, but you can try these first, despite the fact that the difficulty of a temp.

  • Apps print does not print with eStation C510a. Draws thin line at the top of the page.

    My C510a eStation printer does not print using printing applications.  Only, it prints a thin line at the top of page.  Everything works fine until I feel.

    All other functions seem to work.  It prints computer via WiFi.  It prints when I send an email to it.  It copies via the Zeen.  It does not print using printing applications.

    Does anyone else have this problem?  What is the solution?

    2010-12-23 15:00.  I just got got off the phone with a HP engineer.  She said that the station is still in TESTING phase and to call to report problems, allowing them to improve the product.  (I thought that the product would have been fully tested before being released to the public!)

    She had me reset the zineb display by pressing the volume keys during power on.  This erases everything that had been done on the Zeen by me and gave rise to no HOME screens, which will need to be implemented by me.  The only application at the bottom of the blank home page was Yahoo!.  The app of the printer was still missing.  I had to move the tray app home page.  Now, I have to spend hours, once again, setting up the Zeen.

    After the reset, the printer apps seem to work now.  The Zeen will copy by using the application of the printer.  My computer seems to still be able to print and scan to/from the station.

    The printer station eStation C510a and zineb display are very exciting.  However, they are not for someone do not want to spend the time necessary so that it can work properly.  If you have a cell phone, be prepared to use a lot of minutes while on the support.

    The HP engineer said that soon will be a new version of Android on the Zeen enabling it to be faster.

    Note: I've updated the original post with new information.

  • HP photosmart 8150 does not print with Vista

    Why my printer does not print how can I solve this problem

    The pilots say they work properly even though they may be bad drivers (not always, but often enough). You can get in trouble with your device drivers.  Go to Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white?  These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else).  Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips.  If you need to get drivers, firmware and/or software (and you should get those updates for the printer and all you have time to do - they can help way beyond simply solve this problem), let the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows:http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.  The versions supplied with the printer are more likey obsolete and you want the most recent available.

    Do you get errors on the screen or on the printer (and what do say EXACTLY)?

    Pay attention to the installation instructions.  Not only certain tasks requuired, but sometimes they should be done in a certain order or the process will not work.  Check again the indications (or contact the HP support) and follow them to the letter.  Frankly, I would contact HP who willl be faster and much more liekly to work in the end. http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/support_task.html.  Why fuss about it when they will be more than happy to help you?

    I hope this helps.  Really shouldn't be much more difficult than with the previous printers unless you've never used Vista before - that can make a big difference.  Installation and configuration of sharing are very different.  Also, there may be some settings of the printer itself that need to be addressed to make things work correctly - but I do not (but HP will be).

    Good luck!

  • HP ENVY 4500 does not print a PDF file

    I have Win7 HP laptop HP ENVY 4500 all-in-One printer wireless and iMac OS X 10.9.1 desktop. It prints all good document file formats, except a PDF file. When I try to print a page of a PDF doc't, via Adobe Reader (11.0.07), it prints 6 equidistant tiny portions of the original PDF page on a single sheet. All six parties are in the same area of the upper quadrant of the original PDF page. I tried many portrait, landscape and size configurations, but in vain. It will not print PDF of my iMac and PC browsers files. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the printer and its driver a couple of times. It installs OK without error messages, but it will not print PDF. Also, I don't get any error messages when I try to print a PDF file. I don't see any documentation supplied with the printer printer to say that this HP all-in-one cannot print PDF doc'ts, and it seems to me that it would print a PDF file until several weeks ago. Please notify.

    I was finally able to print PDF files. But it's been so long ago because it was fixed that I don't even remember what was the solution. But four possibilities come to mind: (1) is of course the "print as image file" option has been activated; (2) re-installed printer driver; (3) re-installed Acrobat Reader and ensured that browser and extensions of processing of s/w, if any, have been correctly selected for my printer. (4) corrected a wrong paper, the type, quality, or size option layout which may have resulted in a page layout or a different format from what should be the 'standard' to a PDF file. Sorry I can't be more specific than that. But if I have to determine exactly what I could do to get PDF printing to work properly, I will go straight to you. BTW, I certainly don't rely on an intermediate file conversion service or s/w to transfer my PDF files to a printable format. I hope this helps.
