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.

my yellow ink is empty. I have a new 8610 to install but to print in black only to use this ink.
The Officejet Pro 8500 (like the Officejet Pro 8610) has separate printheads and ink supplies, with "plumbing" to connect. You have color ink available to keep the print head and plumbing butcher, even if you are printing black only (and in your case you don't care is if the color print heads clogged).
See here for more information on how the ink is used. Officejet Pro printers are IIC in the terminology of this document.

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

How to cancel only print in black & white
I turned on the 'print in black and white' only awhile back and now don't remember how to "undo" that. I have a Dell Photo 966 printer

I don't have one of those watching, but in general, it is in "Printing Options" which you can access by clicking right into printers and faxes or by simply clicking on the button 'Properties' in a print dialog box (once you have selected the printer). If I had to guess, I'd start by looking at the "Color" tab, but it could be on a different tab.

Color display you want to only print in black and white?
Hi all
I have been responsible for creating a PDF file that displays in color on the screen but will print in black and white. It doesn't matter who chooses to print from any computer.
Any ideas if this is even possible? If so, how?
Searched the web and can't find anything, so any help is very appreciated.
See you soon

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...]

HP LaserJet 200 color M251: HP LaserJet 200 color M251 only prints completely black pages
While in the middle of printing a 24 page document, printed pages went from perfectly readable to completely black (black Coal Mine). The cartridge is only around the age of 2 months and a lot of toner. I deleted and reinstalled the printer, but the problem remains. To me it looks like a hardware problem (circuits) at this stage. Thanks in advance for advice about the diagnosis further.
Thanks rb11, I realized these things (support page, etc.) and the problem persists. I could add the image of the first page that turned out to be totally black when printing. If all goes well, I can attach a jpeg file, illustrating the speed at which the page went to total darkness.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus: 8600 pro only printing in black and white
Hello
I have recently switched to an Imac OS X Yosemite running on a windows computer.
I installed the software disc supplied with the printer for OSX 10.6 mountain lLon, which has been updated automatically during the installation. The problem is the printer will print only in black & white and lists the printer as a generic laser printer.
should I uninstall the current software and reinstall a version of zero software.
Thank you.
HO mikeg7ria,.
I think there could be some problems with the drivers as you said that I suggest to uninstall the software completely and install the drivers from the link below.

If you install the drivers from the link below please select the correct mac operating system and install the drivers.

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.

LaserJet Pro CM1415fn: Upgraded IMac and Laserjet now only print in black
Just upgraded my iMac, and the printer now not working is not in color. I see that the software is not available for Sierra implies that this may be the cause of the problem is it? Wish now that I had just updated! Software will be available soon?
Thanks for letting me know @Fosse.
Check the name of the driver that is installed by the printer. Make sure that it shows just the name of the printer.
Click on the Apple menu, click System Preferences. Click on printers and scanners, highlight the name of the printer on the left side and right side of the screen it should show the name of the printer. (Laserjet Pro CM1415fn)
If the full name of the printer is not correctly, delete and add the printer name back from the list. Click on the sign - to remove the driver and then click on the + sign to add the driver might have to drop-down list to select the name of the printer to add a click.If you still have problems, and that the printer is on a network, just for fun, try connecting the printer with a USB connection to see if you can print in color.
