• DeskJet HP3512 Windows 7 can continue to print black-and-white if the color cartridge is empty?

  If my color cartridge is empty, can I continue to print in black?

  DeskJet 3512, Windows 7.

  HI oldtoot,

  You should be able to print with just the black cartridge installed.

  Here a link to the manual. On page 30 in details how to use mode single-cartridge to operate your printer using only a single print cartridge.

• 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.

• Why I can't print black and white if the yellow cartridge is empty but the black is full?

  I have a Photosmart C7250 all-in-one and Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, why can't I print in black and white if a color cartridge is empty? The black cartridge is full, it is not the only one to be used? Is there a setting somewhere that I can change just print in black? I tried the black and white option through command prompt on my computer but the printer always gives me an error message saying that I need to replace the yellow before I can print.

  The reason that this, your printer is actually not to damage the internal parts.  Mainly the printhead.  It is built in integrated security to help protect your investment.  HP, as other printer manufacturers, offers you with permanent print heads printers requiring ink for all colors, avoid the print heads. HP, like some other manufacturers, also offers printers with user replaceable print heads. These may or may not require ink in all colors in print, even though damage may occur if the print from the cartridge empty. Finally, HP as some other manufacturers also offers printers with the printhead into the ink supply. He is replaced at each change of cartridge. These printers will happily print with a diet low, empty or many deleted completely same models.  I understand that it can be very annoying, but it's a necessary.

• HP Officejet 6500 has more do not print black

  I have a 6500 a more printer that does not print black. For some reason when I install the black cartridge, it works for about 2 weeks and then it stops. It shows the cartridge as full. I returned 3 black cartridges thinking the cartridges were defective clips for this reason. I don't think they'd appreciate seening me once again. I now wonder if my printer. I did also clean print heads with no luck. All done eating my ink. Color cartridges seem to be OK. I appreciate any suggestions. My printer is dying?

• HP3209a not printing black and white enamel but will display the web page

  I'm on Mac OSX10.8.  My HP Photosmart 3209 has suddenly stopped printing yesterday and had a pop up that says I got printhead problems.  I spent two hours on the phone this morning with two so-called experts feel, the first who said that the problem was with my iMac (he couldn't find it) and the second who said it was a problem with the printer (he couldn't find it).  The printer is connected to an iMac by USB cable.  It will not print e-mail or most of the pages of black and white but now curiously print a web page. BTW, I put new ink in it and did not help anything, and Printhead Cleaner ran about two dozen times.  I try to run an alignment but the page it prints which is for most of the blocks of color blue on half a page is not recognizable on the scanner when I try to run the alignment.

  I think that you always print head problems.  Go to System Preferences > print & Scan.  Click on your printer, click Options & supplies.

  From there, go to utility > Open Printer Utility, then clean the print head.

• Sort of printing black and white only when magenta cartridge is empty?

  We have a HP Office Jet Pro 8500 a. computer running Windows Vista.

  The Magenta cartridge is currently empty, and we need to print an urgent document before we will be able to get a new cartridge.

  While trying to print a black and white document only, the following error has occurred:

  Exhausted ink cartridges

  HP 940 Magenta

  The cartridges listed above must be replaced to resume printing.

  HP recommends that you do not remove an ink cartridge until a replacement is ready to install.

  Specified in printing dialog windows that we want only black and white, but it is still received this error message.

  Is it possible to adjust the printer settings to specify explicitly that you want to use black ink?

  Thanks for any help you can give.

  This printer takes individual ink cartridges (IIC), and this ink delivery system requires that all cartridges to be installed for the printer to work. You can set the printer to "Using black ink only", but that must be done before a cartridge is exhausted, that the printer inks for other uses in fairest impression. It also uses the ink for the maintenance of the print heads. Here a link to a document that turns to explain various ways that ink is used in a printer beyond just printing.

• Unable to print black and white with an empty cartridge

  My printer will not print not black-and-white, except when a color cartridge is replaced empty.

  How can I print black with an empty color in place cartridge?

  Some IIC (individual ink cartridge) printers have print heads that require ink available for periodic maintenance tasks. This avoids problems with hooves in the print head and the bad print quality. The following printers are unable to print when a cartridge is empty, even if the other cartridges.

  

  If one or more color ink cartridges are low but not empty and you want to minimize the use of color ink, you can change the settings in the HP software to print in black ink only (grey levels). Even if you change the print settings to print in black ink only, the other ink cartridges still have ink in them so that the printer to print.

  If you choose to print in black ink only, the printer always uses small amounts of ink from all cartridges for occasional maintenance tasks. HP recommends to replace the low ink cartridges in order to avoid any interruption in printing.

The printer looks bad pick up the first two pages, but then picked up the other four pages and printed. A total of six pages printed on 65 lb, 8.5 "x 11" card stock. I hope this works for you all.

• Office Jet 6500 E710n-z will not print black even just replace the cartridge with a new one.

  This is the 3rd time having problems on "black" even printing ink isn't empty (but the level is low, like a quarter left).  In the previous cases, I replaced the cartridge and the problem resolved.

  The 2nd time was last week.  After I changed the cartridge, it worked (for only 1 week) and the problem is back.  As the ink is full this time and it worked fine when I just changed it, I suspect it is the problem of my printer instead of the cartridge.

  I did clean the print head and align the print heads, but the problem persists.  Please advice solution.  Thank you!

  I hope that the printhead has no need replace. I would like to look at this document on faulty production for your printer model.  I know some steps here mentioned you already make. Please just read / ignore those and try the ones you have not yet completed.  It presents various ways to clean the print head; If you have just done the cleaning of the box tools, I'd defiantly that manual. It also has a ride to make sure that the product firmware is up-to-date.  Here is the link: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02455482

  I hope this helps.
