HP Officejet 4500 model G510g stopped black and white copy.

My HP Officejet 4500 model G510g FPU CB867-64001 stopped black copy.  It print well in black and white and color when it is connected to my G4 Power MAC with OSX 10.4.11.  Also, it copy in color but does not include all black in print.  There is no error message.  There has been no recent system changes.  When you try to copy in black and white, paper feeds ok and looks like it is scanning and printing, but paper comes out of the Virgin.  I don't find any reference to this problem anywhere.

Hello AHT

Using the HP cartridges or cartridges refilled/handed to nine? This looks more like a problem with the printer software because you can print Mac black.

I suggest trying the article below. It allows to solve print quality. I suggest you try it. After printing the report of diagnostic impression if he has problems like the lack of black ink could you please scan it and attach it to your next post.

  • HP Officejet L7680: Can I print black and white when color cartridge is empty - HP Officejet L7680

    Help, please!

    Can someone tell me if I can continue to print black and white if the color cartridge is empty.  The product name is HP Officejet L7680.

    Thank you

    Hello and welcome to the community of HP @naristot,

    I understand that you would like to know if you can continue printing in black ink, if one of the color toner is empty. I'll be happy to help you.

    This printer was designed to function as a system of four cartridges, so you must have all four available ink cartridges in order to be able to print.

  • Photosmart C310: What models allow a black-and-white printing with low color cartridge?

    I'm looking to replace my old HP Photosmart Premium all-in-One printer, because it works with reliability more. My biggest problems with this model are:
    1.)
    I can't print in black and white when one or more of the color cartridges must be replaced
    2.)
    The black ink cartridges work only sporadically. I lost a lot of money on the black ink cartridges that do not work, and I tried all the techniques of troubleshooting many times and no solution.
    3.)
    I hate having to spend $100 + to replace the cartridges. It's such a scam!

    I have teenagers who need the ability to print the homework on a very regular basis and in a timely. I can't spend another frantic morning, trying to get a printer (with new cartridges) to print!

    I hope someone with a knowledge of the range of HP products can explain different types of all-in-one printers available to me... and which would be best suited to my needs. Ideally, I'd like to find one that allows to print in black and white ONLY when the color cartridges are low or exhausted - if there is such a thing?

    Thanks in advance for any info, tips or advice anyone could offer!

    Hi @katvit74,

    While I don't have any specific purchasing advice @katvit74, I can offer a few troubleshooting tips to see whether your printer is at the end of his life.

    You're not the first to express frustration at having to have impoverished the cartridges replaced to continue printing. Personally, I suggest to use grayscale options, when printing so that the colored inks not so quickly adjust upward. Frankly, after reading your post again, I feel that you don't have want to solve your Photosmart Premium.

    I value your time and do not want you to feel like I don't have. That being said, we will encircle your initial request. Maybe you would rather a system printer for 2 ink that the cartridge supports single mode, or maybe a Laserjet that prints black only. The printer you choose should be based on your needs. According to me, the best way I can help is to offer you the tool product Advisor.

    Tool advice product is designed to target the product most suitable for your particular needs. Please answer all questions to give us the most complete picture of your needs - more information you provide, the more efficiently, we can recommend.

  • How can I make my officejet 6500 a print in black and white only?

    I am trying to print documents, not photos, in black and white.  The computer is a Macbook Air.  I'm looking for the manual, and I don't see how to set up printing black and white document WITHOUT PRINTING FAST current of AIR.

    Thanks a lot for helping me with this.

    I prefer, if possible, to make the default for printing black and white documents (which are not fast drafts). ***

    Hi @presentmomentum,

    Thanks for getting back to me.

    Here's how to adjust the color temperature:

    When you go to print a document, click on "Show details" (next, where it says PDF). Then click on 'TextEdit' and click on 'Type/quality paper.' From there, you can select the grayscale, black and white or color and toggle various levels of quality (Normal, Best project). If you use the grayscale function, you can choose just to use the black cartridge only.

    Let me know if it helps. If I helped you to solve the problem and that you liked this post, feel free to give me virtual accessories by clicking on the "Thumbs Up" icon below by clicking on "Accept as Solution" (this will help others find the solution).

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600. Printing a list of todo in black and white

    I have the OfficeJet Pro 8600 more and I use an iMac, OS 10.92.

    I want to print a list of Todo comics in black and white rather than in color. (This is a todo list [i.e. Gaston ToDo] available in the applications in the HPePrintCenter).

    I don't see a setting that allows me to set a preference to black and white.

    Suggestions, please.

    Hello lovemutts,

    Thank you for being a member of the HP support forums.  I see you want to learn more about the print settings with one of printing applications to which you are subscribed.

    I've included the document Getting Started with Print Apps and at the request of delivery print Apps .  In the section titled "Managed print Apps" is a sub-section titled 'print settings.  In there, it says "On some printers connected to the web, a settings option is available on the screen of the print Apps Print Preview mode that provides options to select the type of paper and print quality."  If the application you are using does not offer this option so that you will not be able to change all the predefined print settings.

  • Can I print in black and white with an empty cartridge on a printer HP Officejet Pro 8100?

    Only the cyan cartridge is empty, all the other 3 cartridges are fine. I ordered the cartridge cyan online but I need to print important documents today. The power button blinks when I try to print.

    I do not understand, black and white must not use a color cartridge to print.

    Is there something so I can print before receiving the cyan cartridge?

    The printer Officejet Pro 8100 has the same print mechanism like its counterpart of all-in-One Officejet Pro 8600.  This printer has a print head mechanism that contains 4 individual cartridges: CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black).

    It will replace the cartridge if the unit provides a message from one of the colors being empty, until the unit will resume printing.  This is a retention mechanism to avoid the product from damage.  I hope this helps.

  • OfficeJet 6700 scan enlarges doc in jpg format. Scan PDF is in black and white

    I have a new HP Officejet 6700. My operating system is Mac OS X v8.5.8.

    I went to scan a document as a jpg file and it scanned and was recorded in my computer (wireless).

    The problem is that all the documents have been enlarged during the process, therefore, only about 1/3 of the document is scanned. How can I reduce the scan so that the entire document (8 "x 10") is visible in the scanned jpg?

    Also note that this enlargement is not the case when recording in pdf format, but the analysis is the only black and white, not the color of my document was. The scan jpg, although enlarged, was at least in color. Help! THX.

  • I want to print black and white with empty color cartridge. My model is all-in-one HP Deskjet 4288.

    I want to print black and white with empty color cartridge. My model is all-in-one HP Deskjet 4288.

    The Deskjet F4288 joined the printheads on the ink supply.  These are replaced at each change of cartrdige so there is no concern about printing empty color or black cartridges.

    You should be able to print in ink entry mode "backup" by removing color (or black, but not both) cartridges.  There will probably be a warning message about ink backup mode but you should be able to print and the printer will work regardless of the cartridge is available.  In handwritten backup with the only color black cartrdige mode areas will print in shades of gray.  If print ink backup mode only the installed color cartridge then black will be printed by mixing colors.

    See page 75 of the manual here, that says:

    Use the entry ink-backup mode
    Use ink-backup mode to operate the HP all-in-one with only one cartridge. The
    ink-backup mode begins when an ink cartridge is removed from the print cartridge
    transport. During the ink-backup mode, the product can only printing from the computer.
    You cannot start a print job from the control (such as copying or scanning a Panel
    original).

    NOTE: When the HP all-in-one device works in ink-backup mode, 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.
