HP Officejet 4500 G510n-z: printer will print in black ink only?

• HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910: Print in black ink only

  I'm running out of color ink, but printer will not let me just print in black. I can't afford to replace the colors, but the black cartridge is full.  I can't write much more, so I use it to print my letters to my 84 year old mother.  She can't read my writing, so it's really causing me harm.  Help, please!  I set it up to print just in black, but it still does not print until the colors are replaced.

  The Officejet 8500 has separated from the inks and printheads, with "plumbing" to connect.  Printing without one of the present inks ingests between air in the pipes and may damage the print head.

  You need to replace the depleted cartridges.

  I have a printer HP Officejet 6600.  Is there a way to set the default value of print in black ink only?  Currently, I have to do it every time I print a document in the office/computer laptop preferences.

• HP photosmart Premium All in o: how to print in black ink only, when all the colors are empty except new black tank.

  In the past, I was able to print with cartridge black new xl size, although all colors are empty city black photo.

  I have upgraded to OS to win 10 and my printer does not print with black ink only.  I ran a test and black ink appears here.  I print a few things ok in black only before having to make a reset in progress and had to reinstall a ton of programs and software.  No matter what I do with the properties, it will not be printed on the page and try to use colorful tanks that are empty.  It was never a problem before using win 7.  Please help ASAP!

  There are a few things to check:

  • Make sure the paper type is set to plain paper.  If Auto is selected and is confused with the Photo paper paper or photo paper is selected only the color and photo cartridges will be used.  (The pigmented black ink cartridge is not compatible with photo paper).
  • Define advanced settings for printing in grayscale, black ink only.  Otherwise, the printer may by default using inks from color for chart areas, since this offers a better print quality due to the smaller droplets of ink color.

• Is it possible to print using black ink only with a photosmart 8250?

  I only need to print in black, and I just put in a new black ink cartridge.  The other cartridges are empty.  Is it possible to say to my mac to print using black ink only?  Everytime I go to print something, even a test page, he tells me to resolve the error (empty cartridges) first.  Thanks, I hope someone checks this Christmas Eve!

  The photosmart 8250 printhead a permanent.  If the printer has allowed iwith a missing color printing, it is likely that the print head gets dirty all the time and the printer would require service to retrieve.

  You will need to have sufficient in any color and black ink for this particular model.

  (There are many models of HP with integrated on the suplies of ink print heads.  These generally allow printing with empty cartrdiges or even absent, will automatically in the printing of 'reserve mode' using the available cartrdige.  Because of the standing print heads such a feature is not available with the Photosmart 8250.)

• Do my HP OfficeJet 4620 print in black ink only, permanently.

  I want my printer to always print in black only, on the quality of the project. I went to devices and printers > Printing Options > advanced and changed printing in grayscale only for "black ink". I also made the same change on the page I want to print and go CTRL + P > properties > advanced and making the same changes.

  However, my printer automatically returns to print in color after only a single document i.e. whenever I print a new document, the changes are cancelled and it is up to the color.

  It's much too much time to repeatedly change the settings everytime I have print something, I need to print about 70 separate documents every morning! How to make this change permanent?

  I use Windows 8 if that helps.

  Thank you!

  Hello MarkC-S,

  Welcome to the HP forums!

  I understand that you tried to change the printing parameters for "Black ink" only, but it is up to color ink. As you said, the print settings seem correct and it should stick permanently. How is the printer connected? USB or wireless? I recommend you to uninstall the software.

  Please follow this HP document uninstall programs and features.

  Then clean your Temp folder on your computer:

  1. On the keyboard, press the Windows key and the 'R' key, and then type %temp%. Press ENTER.
  2. Press 'Ctrl' and 'A '. This will highlight all. Right click on your mouse and select delete

  Now, install the full features on the site of HP software here. Choose your operating system that is appropriate; 32-bit or 64-bit. If you need help to install the software, please follow this HP document here. Choose your correct connection type.

  Once the installation is complete, please let me know if the 'black ink printing"stick this time!

• HP OfficeJet 8600: Print using black ink only

  We use our printer as a copier only.  It is not connected to a computer.  Why do the color cartridges run out of ink and we cannot print black print.  We print any documents using color.  Is it possible to turn on the black only?

  Sorry, but the HP Officejet Pro 8600 has separated from the inks and printheads and requires that all inks are available to avoid damage to the print head.

  You can minimize the ink used with the following steps:

  • Use draft mode when the quality is sufficient.  Draft mode uses about half the ink or Normal or best mode.
  • Power switch of the printer only allows to turn off the printer.  If an external switch (as a protector or output impulse) is used more ink will be used at startup.

  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 Officejet 8040 has us an example.
  • Other printers have separate replaceable printheads and inks.  An example would be the printer Officejet 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.
