HP Photosmart 3310: Using only the black cartridge

Similar Questions

• OfficeJet 4630: 4630 can print grayscale using only the black cartridge?

  I have purchased a printer 4630 and want to use it like I did my old PSC1350 - using only the black cartridge for all printing. I can't find any setting of grey for the 4630 that will allow for this. With the 1350, the grayscale setting would prevent any color ink cartridges is used, an unnecessary expense for printing in black on white paper.

  If there is no setting on the 4630 grey scale, can I be sure that black ink is used only for printing without color?

  Hello @clif9710!
  
  Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  Your printer Officejet 4630 should be able to print in gray scale and the options should be in the window of the printer printing preferences.  I was able to locate a document regarding the changing settings in windows 7 print.

  If you do not get the options to print in gray scale you will need to uninstall the HP software, including the old software, restart the computer and re-install the HP Officejet 4630 software again.

  To uninstall the software HP click here: uninstall the HP software

  To download the HP software, click here: driver and software Officejet 4630

  Another good thing about the Officejet 4630 is that it allows to print mode single cartridge.  cartridges for your printer built in print heads which means that it requires no 2 print cartridges.  If you never use the Tricolor cartridge or you are planning on printing in black, you can remove the Tricolor cartridge, put the cap of the cartridge down and close the lid.  The printer should now say "mode single cartridge printing.  Once the printer is closed upwards, you can send your print job and it will print using only the black cartridge one!

  Thanks again for posting on the forums of HP and post back and let me know how it goes!

• How do I change computer to use only the black cartridge for print on PSC 950 h

  I'm having a problem with my hp psc 950 printer - when I try to copy something it gives me an error to support code on enter to align cartridges-i do this and it is not always copy - how can I change the printer to use only black ink, the color cartridge is probably more good, I just changed black ink and I really don't need the color in my copies - all solutions would be greatly appreciated

  Thank you

  Hi yalulu,

  I understand that you do not use the black cartridge only. I find the features page and the manual for the PSC 950 but did not find that I was looking for. I would suggest trying to use the printer in mode single cartridge, but I am not sure if the printer supports this feature, that's what I was looking for.

  Try out both cartridges, then put in black only. If this does not work, the only other suggestion I have is to replace the color cartridge.

  You can use the below document to troubleshoot color cartridge, select the document that best describes the issue, or take a look at the same time. You can find these useful.

• HP Deskjet 690C: HP Deskjet 690C printing with only the black cartridge?

  I have an old deskjet 690C I have a while to use it. So since I need to print only the text is it possible to install only the black cartridge and print as ink backup? Also are there drivers for windows 7 64 bit? And finally this printer works with a parallel to usb on a modern PC adapter?

  Thank you

  According to me, the Deskjet 690C requires both cartridges to be present for printing, although you might have a cartridge empty color installed.  The 'ink backup mode' feature was added later at the 690c Deskjet printer.

  There is a Windows 7 x 64 driver through Windows Update, see the image below.

  Regarding the USB-parallel converters, these can be problematic.  The models in the posts here have been verified to work on Windows 7 x 64 by users in the forum.

  

• OfficeJet Pro 8500 can operate with only the black cartridge?

  I have never use my color printer and do not want to buy color cartridges. Can I program the 8500 to print with just the black cartridge. If so, how? Currently, the printer does not work if all the cartridges are not loaded and with ink. Please notify.

  Hello

  Please try: put a piece of tape on the oblong hole in the ink cartridge of, it will continue to print black only. And once again, it is only a few pages.

  Kind regards.

• DeskJet 3050 can operate with only the black cartridge?

  I wonder if the printer can operate with only black ink? The manual says that the printer can operate in single-cartridge. My previous color and black ink run out. So I installed a new black cartridge. However, the warning light is still on indicating there is no ink, and he says "door open". Thank you.

  Hi Alice, yes you can use the single cartridge

  Use single-cartridge
  Use single-cartridge use the HP all-in-one with only one cartridge.
  Mode single-cartridge begins when an ink cartridge is removed from the print
  transport of the cartridge. In the mode single-cartridge, the product can only print jobs to the
  computer.
  NOTE: When the HP all-in-one device operating in mode single-cartridge, 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.

  Have you tried to reset the printer to get rid of the open door msg? See the link below for more details

• HP Color Laserjet M277n MFP: How to use the black cartridges only when the color toners are empty

  Hello team HP,

  I recently bought a HP Color Laserjet MFP M277n I printer I print black & white user only and really don't need color prints. How to set the printer options to print only black & white? How can I replace only the black cartridge when the color cartridges are empty? How many prints (approximate), we can take by toner?

  Kind regards

  Christèle

  Hi @Pavumba,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

  I understand you're wondering how to use black ink only on your HP Color Laserjet M277n MFP printer. I would be glad to help and don't forget to come back to this thread and check "Accept as Solution", if I have successfully helped solve you the problem. If you want to say 'Thank you' to my effort to help, click on the "thumbs up" to give me a Kudos.

  I see that you wonder if you need to replace the color cartridge when it is low. This printer is a printer AIO, therefore, you need to replace the ink cartridge when it becomes too weak to be able to resume printing. However, if you print mostly in black, you can configure a preset black only to print in black and white. This would help reduce the use of the color cartridges.

  NOTE: Composite black - for black and white images and photos, a mix of colors called 'composite black' can be used to achieve the quality significantly improved picture and soft gray tones that can be achieved with only black toner. For users who want to print images using just black toner, many HP printers color customer offer configurable options allowing the client to print using only black toner. For example, by selecting "print in grayscale" in the printer driver Specifies print using black ink only. For more information about the use of the toner cartridges, please see this article: how the Toner is used.

   

• How to use copy ONLY on black cartridge

  Hello!
  I have a HP Officejet 7410 all-in-one printer.

  I use a 344 color cartridge and a Black cartridge 339.

  While the color cartridge is empty, I am interested using the COPY function using ink ONLY the black cartridge.

  Even with the color cartridge, I'd still be interested in the same question:
  IS IT POSSIBLE to SELECT THE COPY FUNCTION to WORK ON BLACK INK (cartridge 399), AND IF SO - HOW?

  There is the 'Black' copy button on the front and the same option in the "HP Solution Center" software, but I think it prints black as a combination of the Tricolor cartridge inks, since when the empty color cartridge it does not print anything.

  Thank you.

  Hi Jet7410ALLinONE,

  The copy function uses a mixture of black cartridges and color when printing in black.   Please let me know the result of the new cartridges.

  Thank you.

  I have a HP 2610 printer all-in-one. If I print a test page, it uses two cartridges, color and black. If I try to copy or print; either the printer or the computer, it will use only the color cartridge and will not use the black cartridge. I tried cleaning the printer. Remove and then reinstall. I don't know what to try next.

  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.

  Thank you

  Use single-cartridge use the HP ENVY 4500 series with only one cartridge.

• Any possibility using only the built-in GPU?

  I wonder if it is possible to use only the GPU integrated while playing games. Cause I discovered that some games are no need to use the AMD GPU, but it is automatically switched to the dedicated GPU and drains the battery.

  Hope there is a solution for this problem. Thank you!

  Good luck in this case!
