Photosmart HP 6520 - print in color, not black and white

I have had this printer for some time and configure options so that it used only the black cartridge unless I put it specifically to do otherwise when I wanted to color.  It worked well and I could switch between black and white and color very easily.  A few weeks ago, the printer started to ignore the options I would set and printed in color.  I double checked the parameters, and the printer is always set up for black and white, but now it completely ignores and still print in color.

I tried the settings at the time of printing, and that indicates that the image in black and white, it still prints in color.

I haven't added any software or made any changes to my pc.

Can someone help me with this, please?

Hi Lulu and thank you for the reply!

I suggest to download and run the HP print and Scan doctor.  Once you have run the tool successfully, try again the configuration in black and white.

Please let me know the results.

  • Photoshop CS5 print color in black and white graphics

    I have Photoshop CS5 12.1 x 64 on a MacBook Pro with OS 10.10.5 with a Canon Pixma MP560 printer. Until a few minutes ago, has been printing very good Photoshop, but now it prints all graphics in black and white color. Before posting this request, I tried the printer on several other applications, including Word, Firefox and Adobe Acrobat, and all are printed correctly. Apparently, I clicked inadvertently something in Photoshop which has not extinguished color printing. I've attached a screenshot of a dialog box print in Photoshop with a simple image two-tone. I hope someone here can help you.

  • Color s black and white PDF conversion

    I bought a scanner at high speed and converted a ton of documents in PDF format, using the color as my default mode. I then learned that PDF in black and white have a much smaller size, so I want to convert the majority of my PDF that don't have no color in black and white images.

    I use Adobe XI and learned the following process:

    Tools > print > convert colors...


    Gray = Gramma 2.2 conversion profile

    Convert Options = Preserve black


    Who converted to grayscale. Then, I got another routine to convert it to black and white. The problem is the size of the file is larger than the original.


    I read something about a PDF Optimizer which can reduce the file size, but I can't find it; It may not be part of the XI Acrobat?


    In any case, can someone tell me the easiest way to convert a color PDF in black and white, with a reasonable file size?


    Thank you.

    You can check for a preflight check routine to perform the conversion. Are usually B & W not so good that you will want to probably, unless you have simple text. In fact, in this case you want to do an OCR recognition or text with editable text (not available).

    One of the key factors are to use Save under when you perform the process. Save does not remove old information.

    Hello

    Then next question is how can I do? I select 'Black & White' as a print option, but again, it goes ahead and print in color.

    Thank you!

    Hello again,

    I am happy to see that (for the most part) information I provided gave you a positive direction to solve your problem.  Once you make the changes, the settings are good for a print job. If the print job is 20 pages, then it will remain for all 20. If the print job is 1 page is all settings will remain. The bottom line is, you need to go and adjust the settings for each individual print job.  Once more I'm always happy to help you.

    If the information that I have provided has helped to solve the problem, please click the "acceptable Solution" part at the bottom of MY post so that others can find this solution. If you are happy with the troubleshooting and you think that I've helped you, please click the 'Thumbs Up' from my post as well.

    It has been a pleasure to work with you and please let me know if I can lend a hand again.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    This happens usually if the print options or preferences are changed for your printer. To select print options, you must open the image you want to print. Most print options are located in the print dialog box, which you can access on the file menu in the program that you are using. The options that are available to you depend on the program and the printer you use.
     
    To access some options, you may need to click on the link 'Options' or 'Advanced Options' button or tab in the print dialog box. To learn more about the print options for a program, see the information for the program.
     
    Printing options are determined by your printer capabilities are called printing preferences and may include printing separation pages, color or image quality options and Staples. Like program options, printing preferences are displayed in the print dialog box. Look for the buttons labeled "Préférences" or "Properties". You can choose preferences each time you print a picture or preferences to default configuration to use for all the photos you send to a printer.
     
    Try these steps and check the result.
    Step 1: Set the default printing preferences.
    1. Click here to open Printers.
    2 right-click the printer you want to use, and then click Printing Preferences.
    3. Select the preferences you want to use as the default the next time you print to the printer, and then click OK.
     
    Step 2: Use print preview:
    To see what the print will look like before you print it, open the picture in Windows Photo Gallery that offers a preview before printing. Print preview is typically located on the file menu. You can choose the print in preview mode options and then print directly from the preview.
     
    To solve printer problems, download and run the Microsoft fix it and check the result.

    Hi all

    I was wondering, is there anything we can do such that the PDF I'm generation can be printed in black and white, even if the model is in color? Our local printer has a problem greyscaling exit, so we need 2 versions of the document, and I do not want to redraw all of black and white...
