• Photosmart 5510 requires the color cartridge to print in black

  I have an Imac running MAC OS X 10.7.5 and a HP Photosmart 5510.

  I can't select a black and white printing other than "regular, fast rough, black and white paper.

  QUESTION: Why are there no "plain paper, best option, black and white"? Or should I ask, where is the ordinary paper, the best black and whitee option?

  Surely each printer must be able to print the last option.

  To satisfy my need for a good level of black and white print that I have to use the color cartridges - it is expensive.

  I would be grateful for any help.

  Thank you.

  To print graphics or the text of quality 'Best' the printer uses color ink.  In the case of text, the color ink is printed black to improve the darkness and roughness of the edge.  (Color ink makes printing 'together' more quickly, reducing the purge on the edges).

  For graphics, the printer uses drops color printing black or gray printing mode best because it gives much better graphics.  The color ink droplets are much smaller than the black.  When the color ink is used for printing in grayscale or B & W graphics, the results are much thinner that the result would be in black ink only.

  If the quality does not matter (much) draft mode provides the best economy, but for a better print quality, color ink is necessary.

• Depleted ink color, want to print in black only

  Hello

  We have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910 printer all in one, and it happened for us several times.  When we have run out of color ink, but have a full black cartridge installed, the HP software allow to print text in black ink only documents.  It's very frustrating, because there is a setting in the "set preferences" dialog box that appears to allow such use, but apparently it is misleading.  Is there some kind of special 'switch' that I need to return order to stop don't not productivity when I don't have the money or time to buy unnecessary colors?

  Thank you, Bill

• Color Laserjet M476dw MFP: use of colour toner M476dw when printing in black only pages?

  I bought a M476dw about a month ago.  After printing the demo page of color a few times and one or two color prints and then until I changed the default settings, there are a few pages with "accent color. Other that that, I've only been printing black pages since then.

  Supplies report says I have 70% left on my estimated (printed pages: 310 750 remaining) black print cartridge and the remaining 90% on all color cartridges three ((printed pages estimated 33 remaining > 1000)

  I realize, these are just estimates, but I'm surprised that 33 pages of printing almost all who were just the accent color resulted in 10% of the consumed color cartridges.

  I have printer connected directly to the wall and leave it on all the time, so no excess cleaning cycles are generated, and my default print mode is: black & white / grayscale printing.

  I know that provided cartridges are cartridges 'starter' but are there still other factors under MY control on colour toner consumption?

  Thank you!

  Hi Jim, The M476 turn all durning cartridges a print job mono-noir, even if the color toner is not applied to the page.  It's features of the motor to the drum cartridge luberciate and prevent damage.  The rotation is counted even if there is no toner applied to the page.  As you mentioned the status of supplies is an estimate and is controlled by the firmware of the engine, and levels of toner alerts can be set to low or very low, with other settings under each heading.  Basically, the State of cartridges supplies is an estimate, based on the use and rotations or print quality may continue until the age is observed or impression continued after the alert status.  A research on HP support/troubleshooting on this topic could provide additional resources.

• Color text printed in black only

  Dear all,

  I have a printer - HP Officejet 6000 E609a series, which has been working well for a few days.

  When I try to print the color of text, the text is printed in black. Lines, shapes, images to print in good color but not the text. However, if I convert the text in a bitmap (Corel Draw), the text is printed in color.

  It does not matter which program I print text (MS Word or Corel Draw) it still gets printed in black.

  My computer is a Windows 7, 64-bit.

  Advice me please on what I need to do to fix this.

  Thanking you in advance.

  Best regards

• D7360 does not print in "Black Only", unless the color cartridges are also not empty

  I try to print a document in grayscale mode with Photosmart D7360 printer.

  In the Print Setup dialog explicitly checks the possibility of using 'Black Print Cartridge Only'.

  The printer refuses to print, in saying:

  «The following ink cartridges are empty: Light Cyan.» Replace the ink cartridges to resume printing.

  "The printer doesn't have enough ink to ensure printer health. Empty ink cartridges need to be replaced to resume. »

  This means that even if it does not use the color cartridges, each of them must be non-empty when the printer is in operation?

• printer is not showing is not newly installed; color cartridges It prints well but not scan or copy

  I installed new color cartridges, but they do not appear as such in the display panel printer, which continue to save empty color cartridges.

  The printer test page was perfect.  However, the printer is neither scanner nor fax, nor can I access the installation options.

  Sorry you have a problem with scanning and copying after putting the new cartridge in the printer.

  What kind of printer you have?

  You can try to perform a hard reset on the printer. Unplug the power cord at the back of the printer. Leave for 30 seconds and plug it back.

  You can also clean the print head because it can read the contacts on the new cartridge wrong.

• Color cartridge loaded in the black print cartridge slot and vice-versa - now cannot remove the

  Accidentally, I loaded the new color and black cartridges in the wrong slots, and now I can't delete them.  How can I get them without breaking the printer?

  If you have a spare cartridge you can look and see a small crest on the top of the cartridge near the front.  This is the part that is stuck.  Using a blunt knife or the handle of a spoon to gently release the cartridge down a little should allow the cartridges to be released.

  Hey @Kaytee68,

  Please get back to me regarding this issue of the paper. Due to the age of your printer I don't have not access to one in fact resemble the back of the printer and look at the rollers to check what is normal to see or not.  By saying so, I cross reference to what you have explained to this image.

  

  It seems that there should be 4 rollers rubber at the back of the printer. It is possible that if one of your rolls is missing it can result in paper or power problems another paper. The rollers are not replaceable parts. Therefore, if a roll must be defective, and because of the performance issues with your product a replacement of the entire unit would be necessary.

  Because you have exhausted the troubleshooting steps for the same problem that I previously provided, the next step would be to replace the printer.

  It has been a pleasure to work with you. Good day!
