Photosmart D5460: Printing of documents (black) always comes the color (black) cartridge No Doc blk cartridge.

Everything I print from this machine's documents in black.  It has five ink cartridges grouped as; three colors and black, all the same size and a single larger black cartridge placed a bit far with the other four.  Print quality is good, but the machine STILL uses ink fron the small black cartridge in the color group.  I've never had to replace the large black cartridge, only the small number of times.

So my question; Why doesn't big get used for documents and small black format only for color work?  Although this seems logical, I can't find anything that says that's how it should work or options to make it work this way.  Help!

Hello

The little black is probably the Photo ink cartridge (which has a symbol of camera on him). Your configuration is likely to print in color or grayscale, so the printer will mix all the colors to black. Please try the following configuration (for Windows):

(a) double-click the desktop printer icon.
(b) click on set preferences.
(c) click on Advanced (can be buried in the quality tab).
d select "Black ink" only for printing in grayscale
e click Ok /apply .

Kind regards.

Note: the steps above may not be EXACTLY the same for your printer.

  • HP Photosmart D5460 printing problem using the cd/dvd tray

    Just bought a HP Photosmart D5460 solely for printing cd/dvd directly on cd/dvd labels.

    The problem I have prints a label on a Verbatim CD Vinyl.

    It is a normal 80 min CD - r but with an edge of vinyl and a 70mm print Center.

    When put in a fake cd (12mm diameter) cardboard, printing is excellent, exactly as it should.

    But as soon as I put in a CD of vinyl, the label is printed below the disc on the disc tray - holder, approx. 80mm below the mark where it should be.

    It drives me crazy, that everyone has seen this error before?

    Calibration is not help me... Also used almost every label possible software out there (Surething, Acoustica, Nero and Photoshop plain) who all give me the same result.

    Yes, I think that's the problem.

    I cut out a circle of plain white paper, which is the size of a cd and cut out the Center (a little more fat then 70mm of the printable area of the disc). Put on vinyl with tape adhesive tape and now it prints exactly on the label, to make it work.

    The black color of the disc must be the problem.

  • Photosmart 6510 print with only black print cartridge?

    Hi, can printing Photosmart 6510 in black & white (not gray, but b & w only) when the black ink cartridge is not empty, but all the other cartridges are? If the color cartridges are not already installed, it will always show b & w?

    Hello

    The 6510 PS will not work if the color cartridges are empty but the black ink.

    However, I think that it would be possible to print using only black ink but to do ink in the cartridges of colour as well because in case of maintenance color cartridges to do little ink in the print head maintenance routines.  When the head is friendly if there was no colour ink this part of the print head could heat upward too or overheat.

    Anyway, back to print in black only.  You mention that you do not want t p rint in black and white so you know where to look in the driver to get to this option. Then in Word, Excel or any program, go to the print function.  Click on properties. Click Advanced. You should see where you have levels of gray.  If you clock in the option box should reveal the other options will be "Black Only". Select this option.

    As I said you should be able to print using only black, but you will need the color cartridges ink.

    Hope this helps.

  • HP Photosmart more: I took my black cartridge and now the printer thinks it is used. Help!

    I have a HP Photosmart Plus B210A, Nr CN217A model. I pulled out my black ink cartridge without checking the levels of ink in the tools, because the black text was not printing. (He had printed no problem 5 minutes before) I thought that it was empty, but it is half full. When I inserted a new cartridge, it was not printing or the other. So now I have a new cartridge (XL) think the printer is used and therefore will not accept it. I'm afraid to put another because it will be one more that I can't use if it does not print black ink.  It's about $40, I've lost so far. Any advice?

    Thank you, I put the printhead in hot distilled water and it worked! (Min is longer under warranty).

    I would add that you should wear rubber gloves and make sure you have a non-porous barrier between your workspace and from the print head. It's very messy. Also, you must turn off the printer and let it prepare again for printing. If this is not the case, he just told you that there is a problem with the printhead and will not let you do anything else.

    How many times will this work?

    Thanks for your help.

  • Photosmart 6520 print not in black after I installed the new cartridge.

  • Photosmart B110e: Photosmart B110e print only in black after reset

    Because one of the rolls were filled with black color and then influenced the paper with the black dye, I decided to disassemble the machine to the roller cleaning and cleaning mechanism on the right side. Now black print is ok, but cyan, magenta and yellow was very low. I tried to clean the printheads several times, but apart from that I have spent a lot of ink, it has changed nothing.

    Since I'm sure that the machine's physical in order, I thought that the whole system may have to be reset. Here I could have made a big mistake. I chose to do a total of redefinition and now color cartridges apparently not activated.

    There are brand new original HP cartridges in the machine, but I confess that I sometimes used without originality. The problem with discoloration of the paper began, when using non original cartridges. Them I'm not going to spend more, but I would like to have the colors in return.

    What should I do when I have more cartridges that accompanies when I bought the machine?

    Hi @jlund6,

    You may need a full set of cartridges of installation, or a new printhead. In my view, that a new printhead comes with cartridges installation, but honestly, if I were in your position, I would consider a newer printer. If you call us, we may be able to offer a discount on a newer model. 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:

  • Photosmart 4380 prints a sort of codes, not the document.

    Recently, I borrowed my neighbor 4380 photosmart printer because I needed it for a few days before the arrival of my other. I use windows7 & after a few teething problems, downloaded the driver from HP and went without any problems. I returned the printer today & it attached to its macbook T4 with OS10.  (forgive me because I'm not familiar with the Apple software; I am a user of windows pc) I plugged on her laptop but when I was trying to print a document on his macbook, print preview went well, but 1st printed page has the following:

    "%! PS-ADOBE-3, 0% RBINumCopies: 1% Pages: (atend) % APL_DSC_Encoding: UTF8 %% TITLE (P'

    It is followed in many blank pages, which I can only stop pressing the button cancel on the printer.

    There seems to be a few codes that have something to do with Adobe, but it is not a document pdf printing.  Please help me because I don't know if it's my need or something else. She is very computer illiterate & I don't know of all software apple but I feel responsible or not is my fault.  By turning the printer power off & on did not help.  Help me.

    Ron

    Here are a number of things:

    -Go to the Apple menu (upper-left) and choose about this Mac.  Tell me what version of Mac OS X that he uses.

    -Go to the Apple menu, choose System Preferences, then Print & Fax.  Click on the printer in question to select.  Now, delete and add new first using the sign less below the list of printers, and then sign it.  Re-try printing.

    We'll see how it goes and go from there.

  • Printers HP 7525: printer 7525 HP black cartridge for first location

    I can't find a 'black' for the side cartridge far left slot (not the picture) to my printer without having to buy color cartridges too which I don't need.  HP 564 packaging said it fits the 7525 but it DOES NOT fit in the first place... it's TOO BIG. I bought one for $15, so I know not it does not fit and I've fulfilled my original with refill from Costco for $ 7 and that does not work either!   It shows that the cartridge is empty and he is not.  It's $40 to buy all color cartridges, which includes the small fitting cartridge.  All solutions other than the pit printer and buy a new one and not a HP one?  Someone managed to find the smallest 564 black cartridge that fits the HP 7525?

    The cartridge on the left side, the same size as the cartrdiges color, is the Photo, not the black cartridge cartridge.  You can buy it in the store or HP or others online.   The black cartridge is physically larger than the color or Photo cartridges.

    564 black cartridge has a Pentagon on the cartridge but a circle on the box...  The Photo cartridge has a butterfly on the cartridge and a camera on the box node.

    document here can help.   It is available in standard or Size XL.

    BTW, if a cartridge is filled he will continue to show as empty, unless the chip on the cartrdige is replaced or reprogrammed.  I suggest to take back to Costco for a refund, they did half the work.

  • HP 3050 printer prints not clearly even after replacing the color and black cartridges...

    I have a problem on a HP 3050 printer all-in-one that is just a year old.  The printer is not used for several months and it was working properly before.  I tried to print a page and had missing horizontal print, I tried to clean the print heads and it did not help.  I replaced the cartridges with new ones and noticed that the ink levels showed that had the old cartridges.  Black was half full and the color was full.  It wasn't new purchased in-store cartridges refills.

    I tried to force an alignment page on the maintenance of the printer screen and this failed repeatedly, undetected alignment page.  I did some research and even tried to clean links them / connectors than cartridges fits.  Looks like that leaving the cartridges for several months in the printer was bad and that I'll need to ge a new printer.

    Thanks for the tips,

    document here can help to solve the problems of print quality in your Deskjet 3050 has. I also suggest to clean the cartridge and printer electrical contacts as described in this document (for another series of cartridges, but same principle).

  • 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 photosmart c309a print or copy black ink. I replaced new w ink but still does not

    I have a mac.  My photosmart 309 c has suddenly will not print or copy of black ink.  I cleaned the print heads, tried to align (not that), went out & soak the cartridge printing and eventually replaced w / new black ink.  Still nothing!  When I print, I get a black ink when I try to align, but nothing.  Color will print.  Same problem when I try to copy - no black but will get color.  What should I do?

    I finally had time today to try the method of back.  It worked!

    I took out the print head, continually ran hot water into the Pan so that the water has never been dirty (about 1 inch of water), has run a small flow of water in the black on the top screen that I determined that I had nothing to lose, gently dried the electrical parts and put it immediately into.  Turned on the printer, he crossed the alignment, etc. and printed black (and colors).  Just copied too dark.  It took me about 10-15 minutes for the whole process.

    Hope this works for others.  Thank you all for the input.

  • HP Photosmart D5460: printing of DVD disc disappeared from Photosmart Essential.

    Did not burn any DVD for a while, so when I pulled upward Photosmart Essentials 3.5 for print direcrtly the disk, the model had disappeared.

    I'm sure it was the Create topic when I used it last until I upgraded to Windows 10, I have art work I designed saved on my drive but also I downloaded on the web.

    Where is he gone please?

    Hi @NorskYorkie,

    Glad to see that you are using the HP forums, this is a great question other customers might wonder about too!

    Although there are software to the new version of the operating system such as Windows 8 and Windows, CD/DVD, print front 10 has been omitted in the software, I think that this feature has been deprecated. You might be able to find a 3rd party screen software that allows you to print on CD/DVDs that you can download and use. I suggest using Google to see what is available. If you can't find anything, you can consider using this printer with an older operating system.

    I'm sure that's not the answer you were hoping for, but if that answers your request, please consider tagging this post as solved by clicking accepted as Solution below and others can find the answer more effectively.
