• LaserJet Pro 200 m251nw: Laser Jet Pro 200 color ink bleed on black and white page after some use

  I print mostly black and white documents. I recently had 2 ink color of defamation in the pages that are supposed to be just in black and white printed. The first was the magenta, and it might discolor the entire page. The second was yellow, and it could fade just the left and right margins. It was two cartridges to Cartridge World, and they have done very well for some time after the installation or always had plenty of ink left when this problem occurred. The manager at Cartridge World has estimated that perhaps the part of the waste of the cartridge has been complete over time and flees to the ink. He said that for most black and white print still causes the drum on the cartridges of color to turn and empty the little ink in waste room. His suggestion was to get a second monochrome printer for most usage of my impression and just this HP product when the color is required. Who is? Other suggestions? If I replace the suspicious cartridges, print returns to normal, at least for a while.

  Welcome to the HP Forums!

  Yes, you can. But what do you want? QualityLogic, one of the organizations of quality foremost in the world, has tested the performance of HP refurbished vs brand inkjet print cartridges (filled). Results: original HP inkjet cartridges ink far surpassed refills in print quality and reliability of printing.

• My HP photosmart 6510e all-in-one scanning pictures in black and white but the docs are still in color.

  Scan pictures into my a6683w HP Vista in black and white, but the documents still scan in color.

  Hello there ingridt, welcome to the Forums!

  I noticed your post on the scans of your Photosmart 6510, scan to your system from Vista in black and white. I want to offer my suggestions to you to see if they can help you with this.

  First of all, try to launch the HP print and Scan Doctor who is used to fix the printing and scanning problems. You choose the option "Scanning" when the tool is run. It will inform you if the software is completely installed, or if there is a problem, it can not correct. If it detects an error and shows you a red 'X', I suggest then uninstall and reinstall.

  Here are some links to help with uninstalling and reinstalling if you happen to do these steps.

  1. uninstalling the printer software

  2. restart your PC

  3 reinstall: Photosmart HP 6510 e-All-in-One Printer - B211a

  Try a scan now and let me know how make you out!

  Good luck!

• 6520 photosmart all-in-one: can't get Photosmart 6520 to print in black and white only reliable

  I'm trying to get the 6520 Photosmart of HP all-in-one to print only in black and white. I followed the instructions in the manual (go to the preferences of the printer by selecting "Black ink" only 'Print in grayscale,' hit 'Apply' and 'Send'.)

  Now, if I do a table in the word processor Open Office and fill the cells with different colors, they print in black and white. Bonus. This is what I want. However ... When I print a page of Open Office spreadsheet (the ultimate goal), there are all the cells, printed in color of life.

  That is what it is? How can I fix?

  Afternoon @MSWS,.

  I can help you with the printing settings in Open Office.

  It seems that this program has its own options that can bypass the default print settings.

  I found this page of support which may help you with the settings. OpenOffice - control print

• How to convert color to black and white Page?

  I regularly receive scanned documents that are sent in color. I prefer much bitonales images, because they are smaller and easier on the eyes. Is it possible to convert these in Acrobat X? I don't see one, and research has not helped.

  Ahh, okay!

  Using of "convert monochrome colors" as a search I found the answer on the intrawebs.

  http://blogs.Adobe.com/acrolaw/2009/10/converting-color-PDF-to-greyscale-PDF-an-update/

  You * can * convert to monochrome, but the result was less that optimal, so I stuck with grayscale.  The preflight toolset, did the trick.

  Thank you!

  Out of a total aside, I wonder if this forum uses Wordpress. Looks like a very similar interface and dialog boxes.

  

• Photosmart HP 6520: HP 6520 scanning in black and white

  Hello

  My HP 6520 scans in color black and white docs.  I read the various messages from others who have similar problems and have downloaded the latest drivers on the Apple site.   When I open the HP utility and navigate to "Scan to computer" and 'Modify tasks analysis' I find the menu only 2 items I can interact with are "Document (PDF)" and "Photo (JPEG).

  When I press the button Edit, I get a submenu that I can develop to show the type of device, the presets and exit.  When I select the "show details" button, I get only one bar for me to choose the quality in which items can be scanned.  I don't see the Mode option that should allow me to select Save in both black and white.

  Please can you help me with a few tracks here - thanks in advance.

  Hi Waterboy71

  I carried out the tasks that you recommended and there is a degree of progress, while getting only not in a fully satisfactory place.

  Certainly the HPScan shortcut on the desktop icon will allow the scans for color photos but the documents in PDF format are in black and white.

  However, if I take the longest walk around the system, select the printer in the printer options and select scanner in that, a submenu opens and I can propose to scan in color, if its for documents or pictures.

  Is not as simple as it used to be, as I didn't have to do that before - maybe it's a result of a system of 'upgrade' somewhere along the way.

  The workflow default scanning set up to scan documents in black and white. Be sure to change the settings for scanning to scan color documents:

  If your version of OS X 10.7, be sure to install the critical update below. Skip this step for any other version of OS X.
  http://FTP.HP.com/pub/softlib/software12/COL41827/MP-101648-1/HP_Scan_for_Mac_OS_X_10.7_Update.dmg

  Now change the settings of the device as follows:
  1 open the HP utility and select your device.
  2. based on Scan Settings open the "Scan to Computer".
  3. click on the tab scan tasks.
  4. Select the affected shortcut and click on change... (or double-click on the shortcut).
  5. in the section of scanning from an HP device, click the blue triangle to expand the menu.
  6. in the expanded menu now, open the drop-down next to the Mode
  7. now select the color option, and then click OK to save the changes. The next scanned using this workflow is displayed in color.

  Kind regards

• My HP Photosmart C8180 All-in-One Printer does not scan the black and white film strips or slides.

  This problem occurred recently. Previously, the scanner accepted slides and strips of black and white film and scanned them without any problem. Since I've updated the OS on my iMac (I am currently using OS X 10.6.8), I contacted Applecare because I thought that it was possible that my current operating system might have some incompatibilities with the C8180. 'Expert' AppleCare then accompanied me by a uninstall/reinstall, but it has not solved the problem. AppleCare said then that the problem is no doubt HP hardware failure. I find it quite peculiar since the scanner otherwise Applecare analysis works and there is no problem with respect it print or copy.

  Hi, JAOC,.

  Your C8180 can scan slides or films fixed on the memory card.  This will allow you to test the scanning equipment.

  Hi @skeltermac, welcome in the community.

  Thank you access the Forums from HP Support for extra support! I see you want to change the print settings to print in black and white only. I will do my best to help you with this problem.

  You have not mentioned the operating system you use and the settings are specific to the operating system you are using.

  If you are using MAC OS X, follow the steps mentioned in the document to change the print of"grayscale" settings or black ink only: http://hp.care/2dmOsTp

  If your computer runs windows, follow the steps mentioned below to change the color to grayscale options / black-ink only:

  • On the file menu in your software, click on print.
  • Make sure that your printer is selected.
  • Click on the button that opens the "Properties" dialog box
  • Depending on your software application, this button could be called 'Properties', 'Options', "Setting up the printer", "Printer properties", "Printer" or "Preferences".
  • You can select grayscale or other "layout" option / options 'Colour' or 'Advanced '.

  Please visit http://hp.care/2dmOI4V for instructions.

  Please let me know if that solves the problem. Good luck!

  See you soon

• Photosmart C310: What models allow a black-and-white printing with low color cartridge?

  I'm looking to replace my old HP Photosmart Premium all-in-One printer, because it works with reliability more. My biggest problems with this model are:
  1.)
  I can't print in black and white when one or more of the color cartridges must be replaced
  2.)
  The black ink cartridges work only sporadically. I lost a lot of money on the black ink cartridges that do not work, and I tried all the techniques of troubleshooting many times and no solution.
  3.)
  I hate having to spend $100 + to replace the cartridges. It's such a scam!

  I have teenagers who need the ability to print the homework on a very regular basis and in a timely. I can't spend another frantic morning, trying to get a printer (with new cartridges) to print!

  I hope someone with a knowledge of the range of HP products can explain different types of all-in-one printers available to me... and which would be best suited to my needs. Ideally, I'd like to find one that allows to print in black and white ONLY when the color cartridges are low or exhausted - if there is such a thing?

  Thanks in advance for any info, tips or advice anyone could offer!

  Hi @katvit74,

  While I don't have any specific purchasing advice @katvit74, I can offer a few troubleshooting tips to see whether your printer is at the end of his life.

  You're not the first to express frustration at having to have impoverished the cartridges replaced to continue printing. Personally, I suggest to use grayscale options, when printing so that the colored inks not so quickly adjust upward. Frankly, after reading your post again, I feel that you don't have want to solve your Photosmart Premium.

  I value your time and do not want you to feel like I don't have. That being said, we will encircle your initial request. Maybe you would rather a system printer for 2 ink that the cartridge supports single mode, or maybe a Laserjet that prints black only. The printer you choose should be based on your needs. According to me, the best way I can help is to offer you the tool product Advisor.

  Tool advice product is designed to target the product most suitable for your particular needs. Please answer all questions to give us the most complete picture of your needs - more information you provide, the more efficiently, we can recommend.

• HP deskjet 3510 scanning black and white photos

  HP deskjet 3510 printer all-in-one scan computer black and white.

  I want to scan an image is what ever color.

  I don't see anyway to change the color.

  Hi len,

  You can choose "Scan to PDF"? I wonder if the PDF will scan in color. Let me know what happens!

  In addition, instead of scanning from the printers of the unit Panel, you scan from the printer software I was alluding in messages earlier? Scan from the software on your PC will give you all of the scan options.

  Take care
