• HP 4520 Envy: Envy 4520 only printing in black and white

  Whenever I try to print a PDF online or a document of microsoft word or powerpoint ect., it prints in black and white. I did a test of color of the printer and align the cartridges and everything went well. The properties are not set to print in grayscale. I have no idea how to solve this problem.

  Hello @BlueOlive, greetings!

  Thank you for joining the HP support forums, I would like to help

  I understand that your printer prints in black and white only, even if you can make a color copy.

  According to me, the question is in the print settings itself. Please follow the steps and check mentioned below:

  • Go to control panel - devices and printers - give Envy 4520 right-click and select Printing Preferences.
  • In the pop-up window, click on the 'Advanced' button - check for printing in grayscale option. Make sure it is turned off.
  • Also once you try to print a document please go to properties of the printer to make sure it is not set in the option "print in grayscale".

  If the steps above has not resolved the problem, it could be a problem with the printer drivers. In this case, we might need to uninstall the drivers and re - install the same. You can visit http://hp.care/2bYZled to download the drivers.

  Let me know how it goes!

• Do I have to have a color cartridge in my printer (C5550) although I only print in black and white?

  HP Photosmart C5550 - do I need to have a cartridge full color ink in my printer, even if I print only in black & white?

  I always installed one, but due to lack of use, it will dry out.  Looks like a big waste of money if I have on the machine to make it work.

  Hello

  Even just print in B & W (do not use perpetual mix), you still need to color ink cartridges because the system just asking this to 'protect' the printer.

  Sorry, I don't know the logic behind this, but it's the way the system works.

  Kind regards.

• Why can I not print in black and white only?

  Why is the HP Officejet Pro 8600 more unable to print black and white only if the black cartridge is not empty?

  What I mean is that I went into the settings to set the printer to print black and white only but also print text in black only.  Yet, I HAVE to replace the cyan, magenta and yellow cartridges, because they are exhausted.  Nothing to do with black printing, whereas a SEPARATE black cartridge is and is always full should cyan, magenta and yellow ink?

  I'm aggravated about how the driver for this printer is designed TO FORCE me to buy cartridges not black when I deliberately put printing be BLACK ONLY.  I'm unable to move forward with my impression.  This is considered to be a show-stopper and is unacceptable as the setting that I've assigned and exhausted cartridges message contradict each other.  If the adjustment is made for print in black and white only including text, then print black and white, because I know that the black ink is still available.

  Take into consideration that printing may take place at any time.  Not being able to use black as my other color (WHICH IS NOT EMPTY AND IS A SEPARATE CARTRIDGE) forces me to stop.  I can't go forward until the store open.  Wal-Mart isn't always an option.   It's lost time.

  The inability to switch to self-supply to meet to use the black cartridge is only a waste of time.

  Call it for what it is, a form of ransom. HP wants me to spend the money on the color cartridges that have nothing to do with black and white printing.   When I am ready to print in color, which should be a time of my choosing.

  Either way, the form, which I am trying to print is black and white only.  No color is on this form.  It is foolish to force printing in color to a black and white document.

  Hello

  Specially protect the print heads printers much NEED other inks even they only print in black. During the warm-up process, printers require all inks so they can stop before we continue. Some printers allow printing (especially those who have the ink tank three colors), but they can print at a speed of snail baby.

  Kind regards.

• 6520 photosmart all-in-one: can't get Photosmart 6520 to print in black and white only reliable

  I'm trying to get the 6520 Photosmart of HP all-in-one to print only in black and white. I followed the instructions in the manual (go to the preferences of the printer by selecting "Black ink" only 'Print in grayscale,' hit 'Apply' and 'Send'.)

  Now, if I do a table in the word processor Open Office and fill the cells with different colors, they print in black and white. Bonus. This is what I want. However ... When I print a page of Open Office spreadsheet (the ultimate goal), there are all the cells, printed in color of life.

  That is what it is? How can I fix?

  Afternoon @MSWS,.

  I can help you with the printing settings in Open Office.

  It seems that this program has its own options that can bypass the default print settings.

  I found this page of support which may help you with the settings. OpenOffice - control print  

  Thank you

• All-in-one HP Deskjet 2540: How do I set the default to print in black and white only

  The manual says this, but it applies to a PC and I have a Mac:

  "If you want to print a black and white document using a black ink only, click on the Advanced button. Printing from the drop in grayscale, select black ink only, and then click OK. »

  Someone knows how to set the printer to print only black & white for a Mac?

  As an accompaniment, there are security settings that must be configured to reduce the risk of access remotely for the printing device?

• I ONLY NEED TO PRINT IN BLACK AND WHITE

  I was almost out of ink for my all in one printer. I could only replace the cartridge and the Black Yellow now, which is OK because I only need to print in black and white. I've adjusted the page screenshot on print "to print in black ink only" screen and click on 'apply '. But now it always sends a message saying that she does not print unless ALL the cartridges are replaced. I don't need to print in color! What can I do to get the printer to use black ink until I can afforsd to buy the other two color cartridge?

  You should check with the printer manufacturers support site, but many printers will print at all if no have all the ink cartridges.

  Windows cannot override the printer design in this area.

• 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.

• HP officejet pro 8500 a910 does give me the option of printing in black and white on a mac.

  I would like to create a new preset using black and white or grayscale for an a910 8500 but it doesn't seem to be a way to specify black and white or grayscale in the dialog box print when printing from an application. Also, when I go to the presets dialog show I can't change all the settings for a custom preset.

  very confusing dialog boxes. It doesn't seem to be a way to access the dialog box presets without being in a print in an application dialog box.

  I'm running OS X 10.7.3

  Argh!

• New Apple MacBook Pro. Contrast of black and white not as sharp as the previous MacBook Pro. How please

  Not as strong black and white contrast on my new Macbook Pro retina adjustment last version of El Capitan. The black color is certainly lower than in my previous MacBook Pro. The contrasts are not as sharp and the screen has a grayish tint which I'm having a difficult time of adjustment. It is not my eyes. Any tips? Thank you. WillyG

  Did you try System Preferences > display > color and CALIBRATE?

  

  Ciao.
