  Hello

  I had a brother printer which required that there is ink in the color cartridges even if I only wanted to print in black.  Is the HP Officejet 6500 in the same way?  Is it necessary that it be ink cartridges color, even though I'm only printing in black ink only?

  Thank you

  Yes, he does. And it is only to prevent the nozzles of ink on the printheads of evaporation, resulting in poor print quality when you decide to print in color.

• HP PSC 1317 AIO - you need a color cartridge to print in black only?

  Hello

  Just a quick question to run me to the store twice save.

  A totally black HP 56 + HP 57, a color with a little ink left would be enough for printing in bulk in black only? I'm not sure how this works because I was told that some printers draw on the color cartridge to compensate for the dark ?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Almost all printers draw color inks to print in black, it is the rule of normal color mixing. We can stop this using 'grey levels' option on the printer or applications (for example, Word...). BUT the printers need color inks to protect the print head (please don't ask me why) that is why they will stop when no good no color ink cartridges installed.

  Kind regards.

• D7360 does not print in "Black Only", unless the color cartridges are also not empty

  I try to print a document in grayscale mode with Photosmart D7360 printer.

  In the Print Setup dialog explicitly checks the possibility of using 'Black Print Cartridge Only'.

  The printer refuses to print, in saying:

  «The following ink cartridges are empty: Light Cyan.» Replace the ink cartridges to resume printing.

  "The printer doesn't have enough ink to ensure printer health. Empty ink cartridges need to be replaced to resume. »

  This means that even if it does not use the color cartridges, each of them must be non-empty when the printer is in operation?

• Officepro HP 8600: How to bypass the color cartridges empty on my HP Officepro 8600 to print only in black

  I am wanting to print Grayscale / black only, still does not allow me to print because I have empty color cartridges.

  How can I get around this?

  I tried changing the settings

  Thank you very much

  While printing in black is only an option when the color is low, it is blocked once a cartridge is exhausted.  You will need to replace the depleted cartridge. Page 94 of the said the manual here:

  Printing in black ink or color only

  For regular use, this product does not print using only the black ink cartridge when the color cartridges are out of ink. However, your printer is designed to allow you to print as long as possible when your cartridges are starting to run out of ink.

  When there is enough ink in the print head, printer will offer you the use of black ink only when one or more cartridges color is out of ink and color ink usage only when the black cartridge is out of ink.

  • The amount that you can print using the black or color ink is only limited, so the available spare ink cartridges when printing in black ink or color only.

  • When it is no longer sufficient ink printing, you will get a message from one or more cartridges are exhausted, and you need to replace the depleted cartridges before you resume printing.

  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 8040 a Officejet is an example.
  • Other printers have separate replaceable printheads and inks.  An example would be the printer Officejet Pro 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.

• printer will work if the color cartridges are ink

  I have an Officejet 4620. My computer says all the ink cartridges are out of ink. I can always print in black. I need to replace the color cartridges?   The printer uses individual cartridges for red, blue and yellow cartridges. Color will be printed in blue and yellow only, so I guess there is little color left.

  I usually do not need color copies and I have another Copier.

  Hello @Connsu,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

  I would like to help you today with your color cartridge application today. Because your printer uses four cartridges: HP 564 black, HP 564 Cyan, Magenta 564 HP and HP 564 yellow, if one or all of these color cartridges are exhausted replace them to continue using the printer. Your HP Officejets ink system is designed to print when have all ink cartridges. A little ink in each cartridge is used for maintenance and maintenance tasks completed by your printer to keep the print head system in your printer in good working order.

  The print head is the part that the cartridges will fit. It controls the "reading" of the cartridges and put the ink on the page. If the printhead is not able to perform regular maintenance, due to depleted cartridges, there is a chance that the mechanism of the print head gets dirty. If the printhead is damaged in any way a whole unit replacement may be necessary. For more information about using ink please click here.

  In the future, if you mainly print in black from the computer, you can set your printer driver to use black ink only. Normally when you print from your computer files will be sent to your printer as "images". If your printer "thinks" it prints an image file that ink color will be used to enrich the black ink. If you don't want that to happen, you can enable grayscale printing option.

  • How to set grayscale in Windows:
  1. Click on the Start menu
  2. Click on devices and printers
  3. Right click on your printer and select Printing Options
  4. Click on features or Advanced
  5. Select the Grayscale dropdown and replace Black Ink only
  6. Click apply and OK

  If you ever want to print in color that you just open the document to print, click Properties in the print dialog box and change black ink only on OFF. This setting only will change to print one job and will return to black ink only for future jobs.

  • How to set levels of gray on Mac:

• How can I get my printer to use just the color cartridge for the black & white you are exhausted?

  Whenever my on my dell printer black ink cartridge runs out, I'm generally left with a color cartridge, which is a total waste of money, because they are purchased together in a common case; is it possible that I can tell my printer to switch to the color cartridge and use that one until 'she' runs?

  I did a search for authentic cartridges, not refurbished which are cheaper, but not as reliable and these are just a few options, I found. Check the cartridge number I've seen series 2 and no 5. But whatever it is, they are there.

• Printing printer Lexmark 2600 problems - it prints half a line after replacing the color cartridge

  It prints half a line, if the top or the bottom of it and the cutting of the other party.  This happens on every third line.

  This started happening when I replaced a color cartridge and ran the alignment page.  Before replacing the cartridge, it prints very well (except that the color cartridge started missing).   When I noticed what was going on, I took both cartridges on and then put them back in and had to print the alignment again page.  Yet the problem persists.
  I checked the Device Manager, and my drivers are up to date.  I also checked all connections.
  Any suggestions are welcome.

  Oh boy.  I don't know what I thought.  It just had to unplugging everything & then reconnect them, turn off & on.  This took care of it - seems so simple now.

  I guess it was my new laptop which has the printer all confused.  Win7, my find of CL.

  Insofar as the Lexmark support, I have not yet that day.  In any case, it comes to X 2690 model I had for centuries, so I guess that support would be of any help.  I mean, the guarantee missed a long time ago.

  Thank you for taking the time to answer.

• My 3-in-1 uses the color cartridge for copy/printing black a black paper on the glass top...

  My 3-in-1 uses the color cartridge to black for a black document on copy/printing tray, but use black cartridge to print in black from the computer itself.

  In other words:

  (1) if I have a document with a black print in Microsoft word on my hard drive and I want to print this document in black print, while the 3-in-1 works fine. In other words, is the black cartridge can print a document in black to a black document.

  (2) if I take this same document which has just been printed in black and put one on the glass and try to produce a black document thereof using the copier function, the 3-in-1 uses the color cartridge to produce the black document... .more is very slow (the same speed it would be if I were to produce one side of color of color documents.

  Of course, it cannot be the black cartridge.

  Through a long trial and error process, I got lucky and I resolved and the resolution is not what I was expecting and makes no sense to me.

  Use the settings of the printer itself, I just changed the setting from "automatic" to the "plain" paper and the setting in 'text' value 'None '.

• HP Envy 5530: HP Envy 5530 told to replace the color cartridge, even after replacing with a new one.

  HP Envy 5530 said to replace the color cartridge, even after replacing with a new one.  Printer is 1 year old and I replaced the cartridges several times over the past year.  I am enrolled in the program of HP ink.  I can run the printer mode single cartridge using a black ink only and it works with my pc XP, Ipad, Chrome pc and mobile phone.  My pc win 8.1 will not print anything other than a test page.  Printer on the pc file lists always attention required when you try to print from the pc win 8.1.  I believe that the problem may be related to surface of cartridge for printing inside the HP envy heads 5530.  This part is available for purchase, and if so, where?

  I found a work around.  On the pc win 8.1, it seems that the print request must see a reset of the HP envy 5530 to print mode single cartridge.  I just start the pc and then reset the printer by lifting the hatch for the print heads.  That's all.  Once this is done, the 'attention required' message goes to the loan and it is able to print.  It will open a window, which suggests you add the color cartridge, but it will disappear when printing.  Simply open the door once and you can print until you turn off the pc.

• can you use a deskjet 970cse in black only mode when the color cartridge dries up

  can you use a deskjet 970cse in black only mode when the color cartridge dries up? Thank you, Jerry

  banhien information is very accurate. I would just add a bit of it. Because this printer uses a tricolor cartridge and a black, it should be one of the printers that will print with just the black cartridge installed. It is called print in backup mode. I should happen automatically when you remove the color cartridge and try printing. A message will arrive on the printer or the computer and ask you if you want to print in backup mode. Say yes, and it should let you print. Hope that helps.

• HP HP Deskjet 4400 w/proper cartridges ceased to recognize the color cartridge. Nothing helps. :(

  Out of the blue, it just ceased to recognize the color cartridge has been installed, to give me the 'E' in the first window of the printer. In the second window of the printer, it is the icon of the levels of two ink with a flashing color, blank display, with an arrow pointing to it. I tried ALL steps suggested, by removing and reinstalling, cleaning the drive cartridge and printhead into the printer as shown, installing a new cartridge. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the software! Once in a blue moon, during several removals and reinstallings of the cartridge, it will record long enough to print a document, and then it returns to the same error message. It's just over a year (so, of course, the warranty has expired :-{) and I am at my wit's end! Help, please!?
  Note: The cartridge first, this has happened with was about 1/3 full when the problem started (or ink levels told me til now and every time she recognize it thereafter, but briefly. With the new cartridge, it always does the same thing, only show the cartridge as full when it recognizes, but I can't even have her now! :-{

  It looks like the sensor that detects that the ink cartridge is off. I'm afraid you need to replace the printer.
