OfficeJet Pro 8500 depleted a color ink cartridges - printer will print not except if replaced

When one of my color ink cartridges is empty ink, my printer does not print until the ink cartridge is replaced.  Of course, I go out and buy new and install it then get the message that another cartridge needs to be replaced!

I only print in black ink in all cases.  Is it possible to print only black ink without replacing color cartridges are empty ink?

In addition, if a color is exhausted, I should automaticall replace all color cartridges?

Operating system: Windows XP

Officejet 8500 printers individual ink cartridges (IIC); This machine requires that all cartridges to be installed to ensure that the printhead not damaged. In the printer, the ink is used not only for printing, but retain the printer and the print head. We can reduce the amount of color ink, the printer uses by changing the print in grayscale settings or use black ink only. Page 34 of the Manual shows how to change these settings when you print the documents. For more information on how the ink is used in the printer; It can be considered as this page here where he goes into detail about the different ways that ink is used in the printer.
I would just replace the color cartridge the printer says needs replacement when the machine alerts you of low ink. I would replace all the colors at a time when only needs replacement.
I hope this helps.

    There should be an option in layout to "Flip on long edge" or "return on the short edge.  Change this setting to change the orientation of the back page.

    If this does not resolve the problem that, please indicate what operting system you have and the number of exact model.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910: why can I only print in black when a color cartridge is empty?

    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 Officejet Pro 8500 has more stalls now displaying "printing".

    Hi, in the Office I work in that we have 2 HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910 Series. It is on a network with 3 PCs running WIndows 7 and the other is connected via wifi to a PC that is also running Windows 7.

    The problem is that the printer is on a network often stalls displaying "print now" on the screen of the printer. The only way to continue to print is to turn off the computer, and then on again once, wait that he do his cleaning etc. then press print. It's normally ok for this work print, but as soon as other print jobs are added must be reset to zero and the cycle repeats endlesly all day. Until recently the other printer connected via wifi was working fine but now that is also exactly the same as described above.

    Recently, I searched the forums and have discovered that it is a common problem with this type of printer.

    I did the resets partial or total of the two printers without result.

    Bothe printers currently use the firmware version: LRP1FN1126AR, which I believe is the latest firmware.

    Please someebody can explain how to make these printers are working properly? Thank you very much

    Opening and closing the door of cartrdge seem to generate an interrupt that resets the connection and unlocks the pending print job.

    While not solving the underlying abnormality, it is much faster and esier on you and the printer.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 always in color ink

    I have 4 computers, printing on this printer and I put printing preferences on all levels of grey: black ink only, yet I am still uses ink of color for a reason any.  All faxes and copies that are made on the machine are in BLACK.  Please help me understand this.  Y at - it a setting I'm missing?

    There are a few things to check.  Some ink will be used to keep the "plumbing" and clear print heads.  If you never run cleaning cycles (in the front panel or computer palette) ink will use black and all colors.  If the printer is off of an external switch that will serve the most ink - the printer must always be connected to a live outlet.  Finally, when you automatically print duplex some color ink will be used on the first page to set the ink more quickly so that the ink will not smear when the page is pulled back into the printer.

    The document described here how the ink is used.  In the terminology of this document the 8600 Officejet Pro is an IIC printer.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 won't recognize change cartridge

    Replaced by just bought new (out-of-the-box) Cyan XL requested ink cartridge but always error message to replace the cartridge.  Message will not change any I've tried:

    printer a. be able to turn off/on several times.

    b. deleted/returned all four cartridges

    For everyone who has this problem with the rejection of 8500 ink cartridges known good.  I finally found a solution from a third party.

    (1) remove the ink cartridge the printer is rejected.  Look inside the printer ink cartridge and see a small rectangular plastic button to halfway between the ink tube and the drive of chips.  This sensor plastic is causing the printer to reject the cartridge.

    (2) look at the cartridge to the side coupling of the plastic button and a bulb rubber at the end of the ink cartridge.  The pressure in this PEAR rubber is supposed to press the plastic button in the printer. But for various reasons, it does not define the sensor to 'off '.

    (3) to fix the problem, place a small piece of rigid Ribbon on the end of the ink cartridge to cover rubber pear.  DO NOT cover the ink tube or the well sensor chip.  The Ribbon should be about three inches long and ¾ in. wide.  Use the stiff Ribbon and tape.  Not flexible table.  The goal is that the Ribbon increase the pressure of the PEAR rubber is supposed to confer on the probe plastic button in the printer.

    (4) replace the ink cartridge in the printer. Problem resolved 98% of the time.  If this is not the case, there is something wrong with the sensor inside the printer switch and this solution will not work.

    (5) good luck.  See you soon!

  • Set up printer M451 to deplete its color ink cartridges

    My M451 color laser printer is currently set to force printing in black and white when one of its color toner cartridges falls to a very low level.  Could someone tell me how to put in place to keep just print in color?  This will allow me to decide when the color print quality gets bad enough that I want to change the cartridge.

    The other day someone here very usefully showed me how to do this with my M475, and hope for a repeat of this notice for the M451.

    Any thoughts appreciated.  Thanks in advance!

  • I have a HP officejet Pro 8500 a Premium all-in-one. It works great except for scanning.

    When I scan the docs come out with several MB in size.  I reduced the resolution of 300 DPI to 200 dpi and even smaller, but the docs are still very large.  I'm missing something here on the possibility to scan to a more normal size.  I also have a HP officejet 8500 which is a bit slower, but if I scan the same docs to 300 it might be 1 meg where the other is 10-12 megs.  Can help.  I could find no answer on the HP site.  Thank you.

  • HP OFFICEJET PRO 8500 (CB022A) / Windows Vista 32 bit (printer appears in gibberish)

    I recently replcaed the this printer's magenta ink tank, but the screen has refused to accept it was sufficient ink in there. So I did a system reset, I thought. {The content removed}  However, this resulted in my words of choice display option is most read in English. Get the number of the option but not the word assigned with it. It literally reads like gibberish. I have a suspicion that the printer think that his memory is not for a tawianese or Japanese user but the police these languages stored inside.

    {The content removed} I got those on this forum site. While I got the #/ 3 (maybe answer.com, I think). I can probably take some pictures of the display with my iPhone and download them.

    Also when the printer prints a page additonal fate with a test pattern part when I print a page of a document is saved. My PC can not get the printer to scan more of Adobe Acrobat Pro and none of the software I have driver downloads HP can detect the printer or diagnose the problem of printers.

    I only resorted to this forum because I'm stuck.

    We do not have HP repair services, but you may be able to locate a repair shop that can help. Maybe a small possibility exists and believe me I hesitate to inform people that it would be in their best interest to get a new unit, but in this case, it's really my recommendation. At the time where efforts have been spent to find a way to get this device (not to mention the monetary costs) it would be simpler and more efficient to get a unit that could cost less than the price of the repairs.

    Have a great day!

  • How can I connect my HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless to my ipad to print wireless

    I am trying to connect my ipad to the printer above and it tells me No Airprint Printers Found.  Can someone tell me how to get these two connected items.  Thank you very much

    Use it wireless setting in the iPad to connect to your printer. This will be an ad hoc connection.

    You may not be connected to your wireless router and the printer at the same time so unplug no matter what router you are connect to before you do...

    Once you have done this, you will be able to print documents and emails fror your iPad to your HP Offijet 8500 printer.

    If you want to use ePrint (your printer is capable of printing), follow the instructions in this document from HP web.
