OfficeJet 6500 a have MAC OS 10.5.8 - only prints in color.

I just installed Officejet 6500 all-in-one has w / MAC OS 10.5.8.  All (MS Office 2008, Safari, Firefox, etc) print in color only.  Called support tech HP that does not support anything but text editing (there IS an option "print in black only" in this application).  Assist Tech told me call sellers or pay for more assistance through HP.

Tried to replace the HP with MAC System Preferences/printers & Fax print settings but do not see where to put the print settings.

Thanks for your help!

OK, I just solved my problem through the Intuit community forum.  Select paper handling / special and you will have the option of color printing.

It is bad enough that assist HP tech couldn't solve this problem when I called - in fact, I think that the technology was just scroll HP online support.

Of course, their Help Forum Web site will post my solution to my problem posted like a big green check mark "SOLVED!"

  • HP officejet 6500 wireless with mac os 10.5.8

    I recently bought a hp officejet 6500 wireless which is supposed to be supported by mac os 10.5.8 leopard.  everything works except the scanner.  I tried to uninstall and reinstall the drivers several times and still nothing.  I was on the phone with hp for 2 hours of testing support and try different scenarios.  I called apple and they say this isn't a problem of operating system.  I can scan using my IP address in a browser, but cannot scan from the printer.  Also, when I reinstalled the drivers from hp Web site, uninstall icon didn't come with it.  can anyone help?  This is the second HP printer that I bought that I had problems with and will be my last if I can't get this resolved.

    We will clean all your system HP software and re-install:

    Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard / click Uninstall HP
    Click on continue
    Highlight your device in the left pane
    Hold down the Ctrl and Opt, as well as Apple and click on uninstall
    There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall all hp software. (At this point, if you continue, all HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled, this is why we do not run this thing all the time)
    Click on continue
    Let the cleaner it is.

    Now, do a software update to make sure that the cleaner does not destroy all the important files.

    Then, download and install the software for your printer.

  • HP Officejet 6500 a Plus e-All-in-One - E710n ' slow printing - cannot scan.

    Windows 7 64

    HP Officejet 6500 a Plus e-All-in-One - E710n

    Wireless connection

    Until recently, I noticed that it takes a good 45-60 seconds to print. From the moment that I hit print say at the start of the printing printer. Real bummer, but today I tried to scan and got an error "Scanner communication cannot be established... "I've uninstalled all the drivers and the printer and reinstalled same thing any suggestions I have to be able to scan.

    Hey alsmith1964,

    It seems that the network communication between the PC and the printer has become lost or locked up.  The first step, I would suggest in this case is to perform a cycle of power to all devices in the network circuit.

    Follow these steps to reset your printer HP, your router and your computer.

    1. To turn it off, press the power button on the HP printer.
    2. Unplug the power cord at the back of the HP printer.
    3. Unplug the power cord from the wireless router.
    4. Turn off the computer.
    5. Wait 30 seconds.
    6. Reconnect the power cable to the wireless router.
    7. Wait 30 seconds, or until the router is completely ready.
    8. Turn the computer on.
    9. Wait for the computer to recharge.
    10. Reconnect the power cord to the back of the HP printer.
    11. Turn on the printer.

    I would like to know if it is able to get the question to be resolved,

  • OfficeJet 6500 E709n Wireless - sensor defective yellow cartridge - how to print black only?

    Product is 5 years.  Error message indicates that the yellow cartridge seems to be missing.  Cannot be resolved after several cleanings of sensor and the sensor window. Powered / disable several times including corkscrew. A tried a new yellow cartridge (not a recharged one used).  Shot all the cartridges, cleaned, open/closed status of the printer, lifted/lowered the gray lever of the print head.  Could not find a way to print in black only if possible.  The cost of a new printer is roughly the same Technical Support help (out of warranty).  Any thoughts on how to fix (other than buying a new printer - unless it's time)?  Thank you in advance.

    Figured it out.  I missed some parts of the print head cleaning.  Solved.

  • HP Officejet 7110e: HP 7110 does not obey the "Black only" Print option. : - result person wouldn't want to buy HP PRINTER.

    HP must discover new such as printer driver software to solve the only black option (6600/6700/7110) means black alone will consume, otherwise no one will buy HP printer. I already suffer from level of ink color cartridge 'only Black' option... feel good too dissapointe. HP hopes will solve as soon as possible to maintain their high position in printer marketing even when... Thank you.

    I understand the technical problem on the print head to clog the question, but why not run like 1180c or hp hp 1000 as printer that handles both inks or ink only (black)?

    Deskjet printers 1180c or 1000 have printers IPH - the print head is built into the cartridges.  If the print head is clogged, the replacement of the cartridge will also replace the print head.

    The Officejet 7110 printer has IIC, individual with piping ink cartridges and print heads separated to connect.  The printer running with one or more colors of voids can cause the air in the plumbing and/or damage to the print heads.

  • I have a HP C4750 printer that only prints in color and not black - what is the solution?

    This happens if I print from my PC or the printer itself.

    Contact HP or visit their web site and see if there is a diagnosis or test processes that can be run on the printer to determine the problem.  If it will not print black from the printer itself then it is a Windows or a driver problem, you need to find the cause of the failure in the hardware of your printer.

  • OfficeJet 6500 E710n - software installation on Mac OSX 10.9.3 Mavericks of scanning

    Hello

    I run Mac OS - X 10.9.3, and I recently installed software Officejet 6500 E70n-z (embeded in OS - X) to the printer of the same name. It prints fine, but when I go to use the "scan" function, the software says "software for this device is not installed - software to scan for this printer is currently unavailable." Please contact the printer manufacturer for the latest version of the software. It is quite frustrating. I tried to delete the installation and reinstallation, but without success. I tried the analysis of other software such as 'image capture' or 'Preview' but get the same message.

    Someone at - it indexes? I'd rather not rush out and buy a new scanner!

    Hello Nickoroacho,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand that you are unable to scan a document using your E710n Officejet 6500. I will do my best to help you! Now, with the 10.9.3 drivers, it is only a base available for your printer printer driver.

    Please follow this HP document how Scan: OS X v10.9. Click "Scan without the HP software", as that document provides three ways to scan a document.

    Also, try to fix permissions of the drive on your computer by following this document Apple here. Make sure that all the Apple updates are done by following this document Apple here.

    If you have any other questions, please let me know. Have a good night!
