OfficeJet Pro 276dpw: only black ink?

How can I get this printer not use any color ink and black ink only. I have configured in shades of gray and black ink only, but the color continues to get used.

You can never really turn off color on a color printer cartridges.  Whenever you print black only a tiny part of the other cartridges is consumed in the process to help amplify the black that you end up seeing.  There is also a small amount of loss due to the constant opening and closing of the toner cartridges that adds up over time.

Your best bet is to continue to print in grayscale and black and white levels depending on the type of output you are looking for.  Maybe if you give us an example of how color is used for the number of pages so that we can make additional suggestions.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 more black vertical line when copy or scan

    HP Officejet Pro 8600 more black vertical line when copy or scan everything in the middle of the page

    Hi Clementstl,

    I understand that you have a 8600 Pro Officejet which puts a black vertical line in the center of your copies/scans. I'm sorry to hear you had to deal with this, but I will certainly do my best to help you solve this problem.

    I recommend the rest of this document of vertical stripes, lines or streaks in the Copies, faxes or Scans as it should be in a position to help to cross that line. The most common cause is a small spot of something on the glass of the scanner, so just make sure that when you're cleaning use you as much elbow grease you can collect

    Just to clarify a little further, if the problem only seems to occur when you use the automatic document feeder, you'll want to focus your attention on the small strip of glass that he uses on the left side. If it only occurs when you use the flat glass, you want to concentrate on the large piece of glass he uses.

    Hope this helps, have a nice day!

  • How to use only black ink on the Canon print app?

    I wonder if you can use only black ink with the soft print Canon. I have a Pixma MX420 and we do not buy ink color so if I print a document from the application, all in colour will not be displayed. I'd rather he appear in black and then not at all.

    Hello.

    Printing options are limited to mobile devices.  In order to take full advantage of printing and scanning capabilities, you would have to print from a compatible computer, Windows or Mac OS x using the real drivers.

  • Photosmart 7510 - I want to use only black ink since I don't have all the need for a color.

    Photosmart 7510 - I want to use only black ink since I mainly use this for work and don't have all the need for a color. If I have more ink, can I just replace the black and it still work? Thank you very much for any information you may have!

    Hello

    I did a few test last year, you can print black only master always need color ink for the printer. Black setting only as a default printer will only print black and it consumes a little over heating of the process color inks. In short, it will not be printed correctly when run out of color ink (s) or does not start at all.

    Kind regards.

  • HP OfficeJet 8600: Print using black ink only

    We use our printer as a copier only.  It is not connected to a computer.  Why do the color cartridges run out of ink and we cannot print black print.  We print any documents using color.  Is it possible to turn on the black only?

    Sorry, but the HP Officejet Pro 8600 has separated from the inks and printheads and requires that all inks are available to avoid damage to the print head.

    You can minimize the ink used with the following steps:

    • Use draft mode when the quality is sufficient.  Draft mode uses about half the ink or Normal or best mode.
    • Power switch of the printer only allows to turn off the printer.  If an external switch (as a protector or output impulse) is used more ink will be used at startup.

    HP and other printer manufacturers have technology another printer for different needs.  For ink jet printers:

    • Some have integrated into the ink cartridges print heads.  These printers can print generally with one or more of the colors completely empty, or even with color or black cartridges (but not both) removed. The Officejet 8040 has us an example.
    • Other printers have separate replaceable printheads and inks.  An example would be the printer Officejet 8600.  In these printers print head can be replaced if they are damaged by running the printhead with colors off.  Some of these printers allow printing with a color, the other will not.  If the printer is run without ink in one or several colours, the printer may be damaged, but the user may be able to recover without having to send to the printer for the service.
    • Other printers have permanent print heads.  To run only those without little ink in all colours would risk causing damage to the print head because of clogs, air ingested in the printhead or grilled printhead resistances of shooting. The Officejet 6700 is an example of this type of printer. For printers with fixed print heads that could require the service to get the printer to print properly again when the ink is finally replaced.

    The document described here how the ink is used.  The document is written for inkjet printers HP the same principles apply to printers inkjet from other manufacturers.

    If you do ever print color laser printer would probably be a better choice.  If you occasionally print color but especially black a HPI printer as those in the first category above can be a good choice.

  • OFFICEJET PRO 8600: PRINTING BLACK AND WHITE ONLY

    Printer does not print in black and white only, even if this option has been selected by "Printer properties" or "Printer Preferences".

    Please read this post then provide some details.  There the error messages on the computer screen or the printer?

    The Officejet Pro 8600 series has separate heads for printing and ink supplies.  To protect the print head of damage the printer requires all inks to be present to print in black only.  If one or more of the inks are exhausted, they must be replaced to allow printing.

  • Do my HP OfficeJet 4620 print in black ink only, permanently.

    I want my printer to always print in black only, on the quality of the project. I went to devices and printers > Printing Options > advanced and changed printing in grayscale only for "black ink". I also made the same change on the page I want to print and go CTRL + P > properties > advanced and making the same changes.

    However, my printer automatically returns to print in color after only a single document i.e. whenever I print a new document, the changes are cancelled and it is up to the color.

    It's much too much time to repeatedly change the settings everytime I have print something, I need to print about 70 separate documents every morning! How to make this change permanent?

    I use Windows 8 if that helps.

    Thank you!

    Hello MarkC-S,

    Welcome to the HP forums!

    I understand that you tried to change the printing parameters for "Black ink" only, but it is up to color ink. As you said, the print settings seem correct and it should stick permanently. How is the printer connected? USB or wireless? I recommend you to uninstall the software.

    Please follow this HP document uninstall programs and features.

    Then clean your Temp folder on your computer:

    1. On the keyboard, press the Windows key and the 'R' key, and then type %temp%. Press ENTER.
    2. Press 'Ctrl' and 'A '. This will highlight all. Right click on your mouse and select delete

    Now, install the full features on the site of HP software here. Choose your operating system that is appropriate; 32-bit or 64-bit. If you need help to install the software, please follow this HP document here. Choose your correct connection type.

    Once the installation is complete, please let me know if the 'black ink printing"stick this time!

  • OfficeJet Pro 8620: problem with ink

    Hello. I have nothing else to the HP printers used in my life using the computer - more than 25 years! I bought a new Officejet Pro 8620 2 years. I also bought cartridges refilled at the same time as my father died and I would need to use the printer a lot. Unfortunately, I bought ink another 3 times for this printer, when printing somewhere near 100 pages ALTOGETHER since the purchase. Problem is the printer keeps saying cartridge is not HP and damaged - should replace the HP cartridges. I've NEVER had a problem before using reloaded cartridges. Why change now? Am very close to get back to using my old computer Win XP and more old HP all-in-one printer. I have 3, and none of them has NEVER given any problems.

    Looking for help on this. Have always had confidence in HP before - don't want to lose that now. Last cartridges were new HP, but still having the same problems. Suppliers of ink have been highly evaluated with excellent reviews. Warranty expired a year ago. Haven't had extended warranty because, as I said, never had a problem with HP printers to more than 25 years.

    In addition, cellular internet very limited - and not (!) reliable. 50 miles of the city.

    Yes, I learned a LOT over the weekend. First of all, I ordered a few inkplicity.com ink. Am curious about their ink, with their 1 year warranty. Shortly after ordering, I contacted Fuzoo, who then asked me to photograph both sides of the chip. I had no idea of the chip was removable. And actually, I see on the YoYoInk cartridges that the chip is glued in place. Then, I saw a few chips ink auto reset for sale online. And then began to find a lot of links and messages and articles on the chips of HP and the problems associated with them. Like my old printers were about 2000 or so, I had never met the problems associated with the current chips.

    Now, Fuzoo has graciously agreed to replace not only the Magenta faulty cartridge (which has their 'old' piece), but will send a full order before, which was black (2) and a set of color inks. Can't get much better than this! So it would seem that I'm no longer need an explanation of why this happens - it's all about HP and their need to force their customers (who FREELY CHOOSE to buy their printers) in the purchase of HP ONLY cartridges.

    It is a free country that is stuffed with capitalism. You'd be hard-pressed to get into any grocery store and NO search of generic items just alongside their counterparts in brand and usually for less money. You have car trouble? Generic (non - OEM) parts are available, as well as a lot of rooms refurbished. HP should remember their place in the grand scheme of things, or they will go the way of many other electronics companies. Trying to force customers to pay more for ink is bad. ... So this would increase the cost of the printers in the first place? Yes, probably. I was always ready to buy quality products when I could afford to, and HP printers had always been reliable but also easy to use. With this printer, I swore to the dang thing a lot more that I used it.

    Please, ch, make the message and ease up trying to railroad customers. Even us loyal customers for a long time "' will leave! Don't forget, we are customers of HP by "choice"!

    Problem is now solved. Thank you all for your comments!

  • HP Officejet 6500 a Plus: black ink cartridge does not print

    I have a HP Officejet 6500 a and have an operating system of Windows 10 on a Dell Inspiron 15R.  The printer does not print any black ink. I have genuine HP cartridges and the black cartridge is about 75% full. It was working properly until this morning. I downloaded your troubleshooting and everything seems fine. I ran the program cleaning head several times, but I can't always get black ink on a page. The other colors are fine. After the second head cleaning, I got a very small black image, but head cleaning has resulted in no black ink. I made sure that the wind had been reached on the cartridge and this problem occurs with wireless and hard wired connections. Time before, it happened and when I replaced the cartridge, it worked. After reading some of the messages on the map, it seems not to be the solution. I also hesitate to throw a cartridge that is only 25% used. Can you help me?

  • OfficeJet Pro 8625: Officejet Pro 8625 filled with ink NO GO

    Bought my all-in-one printer from hp to 3rd or 4th for my small medical rehabilitation company, hp officejet pro 8625 in January 2015 from Costco. Have used Costco to charge the cartridges (last 98) without any problems and enjoyed the reduction of costs for businesses. NOW, apparently the rules have changed and 8625 reloaded black cartridge doesn't work anyway, after trying many "suggestions" available online. HP support page interesting online said "Yes you can fill the cartridges, but you want to?" seems very misleading. Also, I found no instructions in my manual hp that says that my new printer WILL NOT PRINT on ink cartridges refilled.

    Certainly there must be a certain way, because I do not want hp to 1 million customers dissatisfied with hp that could be interested in a class action of law because that made highly relevant were selected by the consumer? Please, don't tell how to get around this incorrect setting that hp was installed to divert the line from the bottom of my printer. Thank you.

    Currently, there are more than 1 million customers using charged fine ink. It seems that Costco may have damaged your cartridges. To check it might be wise to install new ink HP to check to see if everything is OK with the printer or you damaged the printer some how. http://www.howtogeek.com/174232/Htg-explains-why-is-printer-ink-so-expensive/

  • OfficeJet 4630: 4630 Officejet won't print black ink

    My Officejet 4630 is 6 months old. I bought it when my previous HP printer (which was more than 2 years) stopped printing black ink. This printer is doing the same thing. I searched the forums and the internet for a solution, nothing works.

    I just changed the black ink cartridge today because he missed. I put in a geniune, brand new, HP black ink cartridge. Print the page alignment and the black ink was very uneven/faded. I scanned the pagae alignment and it has 'failed '. Printed a new alignment page, no black ink at all on this one. Then of course, the scan which has as well. I went through so many pages of reports to the printer, print quality, printer alignment pages, it's RIDICULOUS. I took the cartridge out and put it again. The printer off, he turned his back. NOTHING WORKS. This printer, which I paid a lot of money for, turns out to be useless!

    I'm NOT going to 'send this home' which seems to be the only solution I've found that I have not yet tried. If there is no solution for this problem that I can do myself so this printer is crap and I don't want that. And if this is really the case, I will never buy an HP product again because this is the SECOND time I had this problem. What is an unreliable product and brand.

    If anyone has a solution for this, I would be acknowledging the entry.

    I have exhausted the alignment and clean the print head options with no fix. However, I found a page on HP (a little hidden and I can not find yet) who said to get out the black cartridge and place the face upward all night. I did that last night, put in this morning and boom, new black ink printing!
