• HP ENVY 5644 e-all-in-one Prin: I want to print in black and white

  Hello

  I wanted to print in black and white but still my printer print in color when there is a picture in the paper, it's really annoying because when I go to the properties of the printer I press black and white or black press ink only then when I press on save, I'll be back in the printer properties to find her back to color No matter how many times I put it in black and white it goes back to color. I tried pressing black and white and not return to the printer properties, but it still prints in color. Also, I changed my default settings of the printer in black and white through the control panel and tap Save. When I go into Control Panel, its saved printer properties such as black and white by default, so that's good. But for some reason when theres color of text or an image on the page I want to print, I can not change to print in black and white, keeps coming back to color.

  Please help me!

  Hello @Matthew002, hope you are well!

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

  I understand that you are having problems when printing in black and white and also the printer goes "offline".

  Going through your post, this could be a problem with the printer drivers. In this case, we might need to uninstall the drivers and re - install the same.

  • If present, disconnect the USB cable between the printer and the computer.
  • Go to control panel of configuration-programs and feature - select the HP Envy printer entries and uninstall them.
  • Restart your computer.
  • Now, click http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software13/printers/en5640/Basic_Webpack_x64-40.2.1073-EN5640_Basicx64_Webpack.exe and install the printer drivers.
  • If you are prompted, connect the USB cable.

  Now try to change the printing preferences:

  • Go to control panel - devices and printers - give Envy 5640 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 on

  PS: Your printer support mode single cartridge. So if you want to completely stop color printing you can get out the color cartridge and use only black.

  Let me know if this helps. Good luck!

  See you soon

• using the color laserjet 3600n - I want to print in black and white, but it prints black and white negative. * beep *.

  using the color laserjet 3600n - I want to print in black and white, but it prints black and white negative.  * beep *.

  I was able to recreate what you see.   I managed to work around it by installing a different driver that is also supposed to be compatible with the CLJ3600.

  Please consider trying this as a possible solution:

  (1) uninstall the driver CLJ3600 by opening printers and fax machines, driver selection and right-click on it and select Delete.  Once it is removed, right-click on an empty space in the windows printers and faxes and select Server properties.  Click the driver tab, click the CLJ3600 and then click on remove.

  One when you're done, restart, and then install the CLJ3500 driver.  This is a previous version of the driver that has been implemented for the CLJ3600 and is compatible with the CLJ3600.

  After installation, try printing again.

  The output I have indicates it will print is more negative.  Please let me know if you have success.

  One caveat about this solution.  The Color LaserJet 3500 doesn't support duplex.  Of workaround only works for two printing on the package of basic or the Color LaserJet 3600 N.

• 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.

  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?

  Hello

  Open a document, and then select the option 'print '. Print a configuration box should appear where you can change the number of copies you want print etc. In this printing configuration box, click the properties button.

• How can I make my officejet 6500 a print in black and white only?

  I am trying to print documents, not photos, in black and white.  The computer is a Macbook Air.  I'm looking for the manual, and I don't see how to set up printing black and white document WITHOUT PRINTING FAST current of AIR.

  Thanks a lot for helping me with this.

  I prefer, if possible, to make the default for printing black and white documents (which are not fast drafts). ***

  Hi @presentmomentum,

  Thanks for getting back to me.

  Here's how to adjust the color temperature:

  When you go to print a document, click on "Show details" (next, where it says PDF). Then click on 'TextEdit' and click on 'Type/quality paper.' From there, you can select the grayscale, black and white or color and toggle various levels of quality (Normal, Best project). If you use the grayscale function, you can choose just to use the black cartridge only.

  Let me know if it helps. If I helped you to solve the problem and that you liked this post, feel free to give me virtual accessories by clicking on the "Thumbs Up" icon below by clicking on "Accept as Solution" (this will help others find the solution).

• How to print in black and white only?

  I use a HP officejet 6500 E710n-z.  I only want to use the black ink cartridge.  How can I do this?

  I'm sorry you have a problem with black cartridge only printing. You may NOT use the black cartridge ONLY.

  You can print in black only, but it will always use your cartridge color, a little at a time to mix with blacks.

  Here is a link that I posted, explaining that, in order to print in black, the color cartridges mix to get a true black color.

• OfficeJet 4635 or want 5661: printing in black and white, scale to gray, but WITHOUT color cartridge, or dead-dried-up color

  I almost always (more than 100% of the time) print out text B & W, duplex, 2-up.  my old HP PSC 1315 works very well with a drying cartridge, using only black ink color.  but it's send me paper transport problems, carrying across multiple pages and ruin my impression sequence.

  I am considering the 4635 Officejet or all in one Envy 5661.   two of them prints my way, WITHOUT requiring that I have a liquid color cartridge loaded (much less actually need that I use color ink)?

  Thank you

  6551 envy may print as a "single-cartridge" mode with the color (or black) cartridge, completely washed out as described on page 52 of the manual here:

  Use single-cartridge

  Use single-cartridge use the HP ENVY 5660 series with only one cartridge. Mode single-cartridge begins when an ink cartridge is removed from the distribution of ink cartridges. Mode single-cartridge, the printer can copy documents, copy pictures and printing from the computer.

  NOTE: When the HP ENVY 5660 series operating in mode single-cartridge, a message appears on the printer screen. If the message appears and two ink cartridges are installed in the printer, make sure that the piece of plastic tape protection was removed from each ink cartridge. When the Ribbon plastic covers the ink cartridge contacts, the printer cannot detect the cartridge is installed.

  The Officejet 4635 lists similar features on page 77 here user guide.  The Officejet 4635 does not explicitly say that it will copy with only one cartridge, it would be something to check if you choose this model. [In fact, may be a good thing to check with each model - the user guides are sometimes wrong...]

• Cannot print just black and white - cannot print all black when a low cartridge

  I had this 6700 Officejet just long enough the warranty has expired. Go figure. I have 2 problems.

  1. from my PC, it will print not just black and white, even if I chose "printing black and white only. I have to go through the whole syetem of dialogue ect ect, which is delayed. It prints perfectly just black and white of my portable Macbok.

  2. it won't let me print a document all in black and white, because I have a low color cartridge. Whey do I have to have color cartridges to print just a black and white document. Very annoying and frustrating. I'm almost ready to use as target.

  Hi fpsolutionsllc,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I understand your frustration and want to enlighten us and also bring some answers to your questions about the ink on your HP OfficeJet 6700 systems.

  1. you are able to go to your printer properties and change your settings for printing in black and white only, without having to change it whenever you want to print something. See the steps listed below:

  * Go to your devices and printers

  * Right-click on your 6700 and select Print Options

  * Select your desired default and press Ok

  2. you cannot print without all cartridges installed because even if printing black and white printer will still use the ink contained in the cartridges of color for maintenance tasks. It takes little ink from all cartridges in the service of the print head and avoid any clogging. To get a better understanding of take a look here: use of inkjet printers ink.

  I've found this useful information here: a 'ink alert' or "Low on ink" Message appears on the computer or the printer control panel

  Thank you

• 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!

  See you soon
