• DeskJet 3050 can operate with only the black cartridge?

  I wonder if the printer can operate with only black ink? The manual says that the printer can operate in single-cartridge. My previous color and black ink run out. So I installed a new black cartridge. However, the warning light is still on indicating there is no ink, and he says "door open". Thank you.

  Hi Alice, yes you can use the single cartridge

  Use single-cartridge
  Use single-cartridge use the HP all-in-one with only one cartridge.
  Mode single-cartridge begins when an ink cartridge is removed from the print
  transport of the cartridge. In the mode single-cartridge, the product can only print jobs to the
  computer.
  NOTE: When the HP all-in-one device operating in mode single-cartridge, a message is
  displayed on the screen. If the message appears and two print cartridges are installed
  in the product, check that the piece of tape plastic protection has been removed
  each print cartridge. When the plastic strip covering the contacts of the print cartridge, the product
  cannot detect the cartridge is installed.

  Have you tried to reset the printer to get rid of the open door msg? See the link below for more details

• OfficeJet Pro 8500 a Premium: questions of the black cartridge

  I used just to the top of my first black cartridge in the printer. Curiously, he did not use the whole upward, but gave me a warning message, long in advance and then just stopped printing in the middle of a page, with the page out to halfway to the front of the printer and told me to replace the cartridge. And the ink had not yet cleared up or whatever it is, it could have at least kept going until he has exhausted all of the ink, and he did?

  So I bought a 'real' HP940XL"on Ebay for a good economy and just went to put it in, but it was only with the label upside. Maybe that's why I saved money on it? Because the label was put on backwards?

  Then he told me that a genuine HP cartridge has been installed, drove to the partial sheet at the front and canceled the rest of the print job, that I had to reprint the firat 15 pages of.

  So if he was not a 'real' HP cartridge, would he not accepted it? Because there is a much bigger economy if I get "compatible" cartridges, it seems.

  In addition, is this old cartridge recyclable locally? We have a place local cartridge and I wonder if I could win by bringing and exchange it?

  The printer recognizes when a non-genuine cartridge is installed. These reloaded or "compatible" cartridges may be able to fit in the camera, but are generally not a good idea.

  You can find that information on this subject in this link for a market study conducted on vs real non-genuine cartridges.

  Remember that ink not authentic is not guaranteed to be the same viscosity or acidity and is potentially capable of damaging the printer ink system.

  Many companies such as Office Depot, for example, offers options for recycling of printer cartridges. Some even give small amounts of store credit for them.

  I hope this helps.

• HP Deskjet 690C: HP Deskjet 690C printing with only the black cartridge?

  I have an old deskjet 690C I have a while to use it. So since I need to print only the text is it possible to install only the black cartridge and print as ink backup? Also are there drivers for windows 7 64 bit? And finally this printer works with a parallel to usb on a modern PC adapter?

  Thank you

  According to me, the Deskjet 690C requires both cartridges to be present for printing, although you might have a cartridge empty color installed.  The 'ink backup mode' feature was added later at the 690c Deskjet printer.

  There is a Windows 7 x 64 driver through Windows Update, see the image below.

  Regarding the USB-parallel converters, these can be problematic.  The models in the posts here have been verified to work on Windows 7 x 64 by users in the forum.

  

• OfficeJet 4630: 4630 can print grayscale using only the black cartridge?

  I have purchased a printer 4630 and want to use it like I did my old PSC1350 - using only the black cartridge for all printing. I can't find any setting of grey for the 4630 that will allow for this. With the 1350, the grayscale setting would prevent any color ink cartridges is used, an unnecessary expense for printing in black on white paper.

  If there is no setting on the 4630 grey scale, can I be sure that black ink is used only for printing without color?

  Hello @clif9710!
  
  Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  Your printer Officejet 4630 should be able to print in gray scale and the options should be in the window of the printer printing preferences.  I was able to locate a document regarding the changing settings in windows 7 print.

  If you do not get the options to print in gray scale you will need to uninstall the HP software, including the old software, restart the computer and re-install the HP Officejet 4630 software again.

  To uninstall the software HP click here: uninstall the HP software

  To download the HP software, click here: driver and software Officejet 4630

  Another good thing about the Officejet 4630 is that it allows to print mode single cartridge.  cartridges for your printer built in print heads which means that it requires no 2 print cartridges.  If you never use the Tricolor cartridge or you are planning on printing in black, you can remove the Tricolor cartridge, put the cap of the cartridge down and close the lid.  The printer should now say "mode single cartridge printing.  Once the printer is closed upwards, you can send your print job and it will print using only the black cartridge one!

  Thanks again for posting on the forums of HP and post back and let me know how it goes!

• HP Photosmart 3310: Using only the black cartridge

  Suffice it for the most part to print text in black, but it seems to exhaust all my color at a speed that is ridiculous and expensive cartridges.  How can I use the black cartridge only?  I use an iMac and iPad (for remote printing)

  Hi @Cambridge29,

  I see that you would like to know how to print with just the black cartridge, save the color for color printing cartridges.
  I would like to help.

  I understand your frustration, I don't really. However, this printer uses same color inks when printing in black only. If run out you of color and kept black printing only, you provoquerez problems with the print head. It is the the user guide for your printer, refer to page 148. Series of all-in-one Photosmart HP 3300

  You can have a setting in the print driver to print in grayscale, which uses fewer colors.

  Application, go to file, print to display the print screen. Here is a screenshot where to access the settings of the print screen driver. Then you can save the setting as a preset.

  

  What operating system do you use? Mac OS X: how to find which Mac OS X Version is on my computer?

  If there is anything else I can help you, let me know.

  Good day!
  Thank you.

• OfficeJet Pro 8500 a - problem with the wireless radio

  First of all, I'm sorry for my bad English. I hope that you have little imagination when reading. I'll start to describe the problem and the lower list, I hope, all the relevant information you need to help me.

  Yesterday, I bought a brand new OfficeJet Pro 8500 has.

  Since I have found a little bit of my computer and my router I configure for wireless connection.

  All whent fine, the printer connected to my WIFI network without any problem and I was able to do a scan using the HP scanning software. How ever, when you try to scan a document nother directly after the first that did not work. I got an error message on the computer telling me that the computer could not connect to the scanner and it could be caused by the firewall. I also tried to print a word document, but it seemed that the document could not be sent to the printer during the observation of the State of the printer. Finally I gave up the print job and began to study the problem.

  By using the service to help in the HP software that I did all the things he suggested me to do. I have disabled the firewall, open TCP/UDP ports, restarted the router, the computer and the printer in different combinations, nothing worked.

  All the while the printer was connected to my WLAN, indicated by the State of the network printer and the router. I was about to give up but thought I should try only to disable and enable the transceiver wireless in the printer. To my surprise this solves the problem. I was in a position of scan and print documents.

  Today, after work, I tried to do another analysis, and the same mistake was present. Once more I did magic with the wireless radio and it has temporarily solved the problem, but he came back a few minutes later.

  Summoriz, the error can always be corrected by disable and enable the radio wireless, but after some time (a few minutes) the error returns that it self.

  I played a bit and discovered that it is possible to access the built-in Web server during the error. Not all functionality of the EWS seems to work perhaps (it's OK) but I can't among many things has see the State of the network and I can even do an analysis using the integrated Web server.

  I tried to reconfigure the printer using the printer setup wireless and also after a reset of the printer and it does not help.

  I hope someone on this forum knows a solution to my problem.

  Computer OS: Windows 7

  Router: Thomson TG784 (I have an internet connection, phone and TV provider and this box takes care of this)

• HP Officejet Pro 8500 a: printers print only after the new cartridges installed

  Whenever I put in new cartridges I have problems with the print head alignment, then it usually printed.  This time, he was sitting with cartridges empty color for awhile and now it does not print at all.  I always use only the new HP cartridges.  It fails the alignment and the blue and yellow and sometimes the magenta show on the sheet alignment.  What is the print heads?  Why would I need to change them whenever I have to add ink cartridges new which makes no sense.  I have never changed them, but they worked very well until I added the new ink.

  Hey @janh1058,

  Welcome to the Forum from HP Support.  I hope you enjoy your experience here.

  I understand that e-all-in-one-HP Officejet Pro 8500 a your printer is printing is no longer.  I would like to work with you on this. I have a few suggestions that might restore your printing capabilities.

  It could be that the long period of inactivity of dormancy has dried the print head, even if you have made the right choice in leaving the cartridges installed in the printer.  I recommend you try the following basic troubleshooting steps before embarking on a manual print head cleaning more intensive:

  • Click here and clean the printhead automatically via the front panel of the printer, as shown in the second Solution.
  • Repeat three times if you still have print quality issues.
  • Remove and reinsert the cartridges once more with the printer to force the printer to print a different allignment page.
  • This to improve the print quality?

  If you use always the same question, I have a few more advanced troubleshooting tips:

  Check the status of print head warranty

   

• HP Officejet Pro 8500 a: HP Officejet Pro 8500 has come looking for the paper.

  Hello and thanks for any advice.  I have a HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 started a clicking then that he was trying to pick up the paper for printing a document and then received a paper error output (bin was full).  I removed all the paper and found a small plastic piece 1/4 inches long and looks like a piece of home (he's not... looks like only). I replaced the paper and tried to print.  I opserved that the mechanism of paper collection has diminished, but the wheels do not turn. I manually pushed a piece of paper in front of the van and it printed.  The collection of paper wheel is the problem... is there an available spare part?

  Hi dwaryk,

  Thanks for joining the forums of HP's Support with your request.

  I understand that you have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 has e-all-in-one printer that seems to have lost perhaps a part and the mechanism of paper collection has stopped working. I'll help you as best I can.

  I checked the list of replaceable parts for this printer and who find that the mechanism of collecting paper is not a replaceable piece by customer. If the printer is broken, a replacement may be your only option.

  I suggest you contact HP support. They could have an option to replace/upgrade the printer that you could save a few dollars to the retail costs.

  What you can do, is to use the following link to create yourself a file number, then call and it can help to expedite the appeal process:

• HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a_ Scan with HP Solution Center does not work

  Hallo.

  My name is Michele.

  I can't use the solution Center HP to scan with my HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a (I have windows 7 O.S.) because when I click on "Scan document", a white error window appears and says "necessary component is unfounded or not properly installed.". Install new software HP Photosmart". I uninstalled and again installed the software, but it does not work. Previously, he worked with XP. Recently, I updated XP with Windows 7 and I found the solution Center HP does not work. Maybe, it does not match with Win 7?

• HP Officejet Pro 8500 has problem with black ink printing

  I have an Officejet Pro 8500 a printer. When I print documents, it will not print anything in black ink. The colors work very well, but just black will not print. The printer says that the black ink cartridge has plenty of ink, and when I shake it, I can say that there is something in there. So, I don't think it's a question of black ink out. Is there a chance that something is blocking the ink out? Any patches for this in addition to the purchase of a new ink cartridge?
