HP Photosmart B109 - using ink

If the text and grayscale photo pages are printed, color inks are used?  If so, is the use of black ink that is higher than it would be otherwise?  Really need help - we print a monthly newsletter for a charity and need to estimate how much ink we permit.  Thank you!

Hi there, your printer model uses individual ink cartridge technology (IIC) and uses little color ink when printing in black and white or grayscale. Black ink consumption must not exceed but some color ink will be consumed. See this link for more information on how it gets used ink HP inkjet printers (relevant section about two thirds down the page) http://h10060.www1.hp.com/pageyield/articles/us/en/InkUseage.html

Hope this helps to answer your questions.

  • Photosmart B109 n - z: lost wifi

    My Photosmart B109 n - z lost wifi connectivity. I had a loss of power after what my router was not working properly. The router now, OK but I can't see the printer either from my laptop Windows 7 or my HP smartphone application. All other devices are connected OK.

    Chris46,

    You can reinstall the software of full functionality for the printer.

    HP Photosmart Wireless all-in - One Printer - B109n drivers

    After installing the software, check if the category updates apply to your situation.

    If you have already reinstalled the printer software, you can try to restart everything, including the router.

    If this does not work, you can try using the Web integrated (Embedded Web Server) server to reset / double check network settings in the configuration of the printer.  You can use your browser preferred for it - Internet Explorer or Firefox, both work well with EWS.

  • If I only print in black why my HP Photosmart C6180 uses up color cartirges? Are expensive!

    If I only print in black why my HP Photosmart C6180 uses up color cartirges? Are expensive!

    Hello

    All printers do the same thing that even many printers have an option to print in black INK ONLY. The reason: during the process of global warming, printers need to use all inks to check and maintain their print heads... Some people say, we turn on the printer / OFF it will use more ink, I can't confirm that but understandable.

    Kind regards.

  • failed to install for photosmart b109 all-in-one a - m. has said usb not connected to the computer

    I replaced Vista with a new version of windows 7 64-bit and cannot get my HP Photosmart B109 all-in-one a - m at the end of the installation I downloaded from the HP site. I uninstalled this printer as suggested before attempting the download. He gets to the part where you plug in the power and then the lights on the printer the computer tells me that my USB key is not plugged into it. I tried changing USB website and tested the USB connections and ensure that they work on the computer, but still the same response. The program then continues to stay on the installation of the final software and never complete. Talked with a local tech guy who suggested that you contact because he has no idea.

    Hi, thanks for the suggestion. However, I did not upgrade but remove vista altogether. I found the problem after a lot of grief and research - there was a cord that had fallen on the back of the library that was not plugged in!

    I have the same problemwith Photosmart 5520, black ink, it's not working

    A few hours ago, I bought a new cartridge. Because the return, we were out of ink and... I changed (for the second time since I bought the printer) and after that... the printer does not print black ink more.  I bought the printer at ElGiganten, Copenhagen, Denmark. I wasn't expecting to find unwanted product on the market, the Danmark. I wasn't expecting HP to deceive people so much. I checked here on the site if the printer, it's still in warranty... not even an answer. So I spend almost 5 hours to check all the * solutions * I try, the printer still give me blank pages.

    The ink on the new cartridge is now... 45% or something. How his as possible! If the pages came out completely of white100 euro, in the trash, past time for anything on this site/forum... I do not understand how you are allowed to sell bad products on the market.

    For HP, you have deceived many people including me, I hope you will take away from the market, at least to the Danmark.

  • Fill new used ink cartridges refilled HP 1510xi all-in-one.

    I have 5 HP printers and still actively using 3 models of all-in-One: 1510xi; 5610xi; and J6480.  Reloaded 1510xi black cartridges (6) 92 (1) color cartridge 93 and 92 all will not work after update to install HP all-in-One. HP updates may have put an end to refill these cartridges. I had no problem before and refills limited to 4 or 5 max before you buy new cartridges.

    All cartridges except for the color display the error and won't print.  I replaced these cartridges with those who have not refilled and error warning does not, so it seems to be updated.

    Has anyone encounter this type of problem? Or know a solution apart from buying new in the use of reloaded cartridges?

    The only solution I know is using new genuine HP ink cartridges. Using ink filled or rebuilt is bad for the printer. If you have printers that are still under warranty, filled or rebuilt ink using the warranty of ink systems. The rest of the printer is still under warranty, but the print head and of any other part of the system of ink will not.

  • Photosmart C310a: Incorrect ink cartridge levels

    I've been looking for assignments on the questions of my printer does not print black, but by some steps, I came across a new show.

    I bought new cartridges from the printer (all HP cartridges).  I tried to print head align failed.  Then, I went through the cleaning head which has not yet improved printing black so I ran through the second level of cleaning head that did not always help.  But right after that, he noted that all three color cartridges are now very low on ink, giving the warning triangle above each color cartridges.  I know that cleaning is supposed to use ink but why all three new cartridges read vacuum/low after only two cleaning cycles?

    I'm still working to try to solve the problem of black ink and manual cleaning of the print head is my next step.

    I had summer through steps that included soaking the heads of two times and nothing worked.

    I finally find just the print head in warm/hot water for a while until that no more ink are out the print heads.  Leaving the head dry and put it back, I was then getting prints in black but very very light.  Then I found how to do a reset of the printer, and after the reset, it finally started printing normally.

    But he always reports that each of my nine cartridges are out of ink.  So I don't want to go and spend another $60 for cartridges, so I am going to trash this printer and go buy another HP printer 'NO '.

  • What is the right configuration of the port for my Photosmart C6180 using 32-bit Windows 8?

    Hi all

    I have a HP Photosmart C6180. I recently changed to Windows 8 32-bit. I downloaded the HP Windows 8 drivers, but I still have problems with the printer. In Control Panel, the printer status says "error".  I think that it could possibly be a problem with the printer port settings. So, my question is, what is the right configuration of the port for my Photosmart C6180 using 32-bit Windows 8?

    I would greatly appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks, JoeRocket

    Hello JoeRocket,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand that your Photosmart C6180 enjoys a status of "error". I will do my best to help you! I would start by following this entire document on "Printer is off-line" Message appears on the computer and the printer does not print.

    Have a good night!

  • HP Photosmart D5360: check ink levels HP Photosmart D5360 and use Windows 8.1

    check the ink levels HP Photosmart D5360 and use Windows 8.1; Windows 7 has a HP Solution Center but Windows 8.1 is not?

    Hi @torbay,

    By your post, I see that you have no software to verify the printer ink levels using Windows 8.1. I would like to help you today.

    I checked online and there is a software HP Photosmart full feature and driverswho should still support the printer services. If you use the old or Windows Update drivers, remove them and install the latest drivers.

    You can also download and run the print and Scan doctor, it can predict the ink levels and services available for the printer. HP printers - help print and scan the doctor for Windows to solve printer problems. Go to the section how can I use the services of diagnosis and cleaning of printer?

  • HP Photosmart C4280 all-in-one: what hp printers use ink 74 & 75? Buy new ink if my C4280 always says 'no cartridge detected ink?

    This printer has worked well in the past. It is a bit old. I used one that has a fax for a while, but after I have does not need that 1, I put this 1 upward again... maybe a year ago? Recently, it does not recognize the ink as being installed. I think I bought cartridges 74 & 75 maybe 2 months ago so that they are fairly new. I looked at the help on this forum and tried from the back and then pull the plug out for 15 seconds and connect again... no help. I read how to remove the cartridges and where the cartridges go in... no help. I even unplugged from the rear and the plug for 20 minutes... no help.

    I read somewhere on this forum without other printers use 74 & 75 ink (or was this one of them?). So if I had to buy new ink and is not the problem...?

    Can someone help me?

    Thank you!
