    Please follow the steps in this guide:

    • Color or black cartridge isn't printing
    • Make sure that the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet (do not use a bar or a surge protector). This ensures that the printer is full on and can help this situation.

  • Cannot print just black and white - cannot print all black when a low cartridge

    I had this 6700 Officejet just long enough the warranty has expired. Go figure. I have 2 problems.

    1. from my PC, it will print not just black and white, even if I chose "printing black and white only. I have to go through the whole syetem of dialogue ect ect, which is delayed. It prints perfectly just black and white of my portable Macbok.

    2. it won't let me print a document all in black and white, because I have a low color cartridge. Whey do I have to have color cartridges to print just a black and white document. Very annoying and frustrating. I'm almost ready to use as target.

    Hi fpsolutionsllc,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I understand your frustration and want to enlighten us and also bring some answers to your questions about the ink on your HP OfficeJet 6700 systems.

    1. you are able to go to your printer properties and change your settings for printing in black and white only, without having to change it whenever you want to print something. See the steps listed below:

    * Go to your devices and printers

    * Right-click on your 6700 and select Print Options

    * Select your desired default and press Ok

    2. you cannot print without all cartridges installed because even if printing black and white printer will still use the ink contained in the cartridges of color for maintenance tasks. It takes little ink from all cartridges in the service of the print head and avoid any clogging. To get a better understanding of take a look here: use of inkjet printers ink.

    I've found this useful information here: a 'ink alert' or "Low on ink" Message appears on the computer or the printer control panel

    Thank you

  • HP Deskjet 1050 J410 cannot print in black and white

    Hey everybody,

    My HP Deskjet 1050 J410 on 64-bit Windows 7 is unable to print in black and white, even after selecting the option to do so. There is no error message, and the diagnostic tool on the HP site can not solve this problem too.

    Your help is appreciated.

  • Cannot print in black C6180

    My C6180 printer all-in-one just stopped printing in black. I changed the cartridge of the printer 3 times and it made no difference? It prints in color but not black. I cleaned the cartridges and that did not help. I noticed on some other forums that other people have the same problem without finding a resolution.  Anyone got any suggestions?

    Well, I might have some hope. Actually, we have found a solution to this problem and our printer now works as usual. I'll try to explain what we were doing, so I hope it helps someone else. I must say that I was chatting online with a HP technician at least an hour and it never recommended this solution, and we found it on their help page. Maybe he did know about this!

    First, you will need to access the Toolbox of printer on your computer. Go to start-programs-HP-HP Solution Center.

    Select settings

    In the drop-down list, select the printer settings

    Select printer Toolbox

    In respect of peripheral Services, select the option for clean print heads

    It's a clean deeper than what is being done to the printer itself. We ran this about 5 times, and at the end of this it was printing black again. It was a few months ago and we have not had a problem since.

    I hope it helps someone else. HP did not of course help us!

  • Cannot print in black color

    I reinstalled Xp microphone with office 2003 and now I can't print in black that I need to highlight every thing and print in a different color. Before you reinstall, everything was fine.

    Hi Sean,.

    1. this happens with all programs or only with a specific program?

    2. What is the brand and model of the printer?

    As you reinstalled Windows XP, you can consult the site of the printer manufacturer and try to install the latest version of the printer drivers and check if it helps:

    For more information, see the articles:

    Printed colors may not match the colors on the screen

  • Cannot print in black

    I have a HP ENVY 5532 than a few weeks. I have the Windows 8 operating system. All of a sudden today, it will not print in black even after that I loaded a new black ink cartridge. I did all the checks on the diagnostics and get the printed test sheet, and when he asks me to scan, it will not scan and it puts an error message on the screen. I removed the black and it will print in color ok.

    It seems that I found my own answer. You need to go through the process several times cleaning cartridge. I did 5 or 6 times and finally he fixed the problem

  • Photosmart 5510 - cannot print with black just in

    I have a Photosmart HP 5510 e-All-in-one printer - B111a. I am running Mac OSX 10.8.5, running a Macbook pro mid 2012 15 inches. I am able to run Windows 8, but have not tried. I threw the magenta, cyan and yellow. I bought a new black toner cartridge. My printer does not print unless I have the magena, cyan and yellow installed. Is it possible to spend it?

    No, the cartridges must be present.  In addition, if the printer is allowed to sit for a long time with the cartridges removed the "plumbing" may become permanently blocked.

  • Photosmart HP 6510: HP Photosmart 6510 cannot print in black

    Like everyone, I tried all the reset standard and practices of head cleaning.

    Can anyone send me please the new reset instructions?

    Hi @gpn44,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand you have a print quality problem with printer HP Photosmart 6510. I'd be happy to help you and don't forget to come back to this thread and check "Accept as Solution", if I have successfully helped solve you the problem.

    Looks like you did a lot of good troubleshooting already. You followed this guide, Printers HP Photosmart 6510 - printer prints blank Page or does not print black or color ink?

    I can send you the steps to perform resets itself, however, I don't think it will do everything for the same problem.

    The cartridge is either dirty, defective or the print head is clogged. This print head is not removable, customer, but if the printer is out of warranty, you can try the steps outlined in these videos.

    This video shows you how to do a manual print head cleaning. I suggest you to watch the two videos before proceeding and use at your own discretion.

  • Cannot print in black and white when the yellow ink cartridge is low on ink

    Someone please tell me that the guy I talked to customer service is a fool and there is a way to print black and white, once your color cartridge runs out of ink.

    If this isn't the case, it's the cheapest clamp, all the money that I've ever heard of.  Someone please tell me they did sink that low.

    Printers that have individual ink cartridges (separate magenta, yellow and cyan) must have all the colors, mounted so as to ensure that the printhead to dry out and is not damaged. Some printers who have integrated print heads (that just take the 2 black and tricolor cartridges) have the ability to print in what is known as a reserve mode. That is where we remove the empty cartridge and is able to print a test page to determine if the printer can operate in reserve mode until a replacement can be purchased. The reason for the cartridges to install, is that the printer uses ink for other purposes in addition to printing. It is also used to maintain the printer. Here is a link to learn more about this topic. He will also discuss the topic of the reserve mode as well.

  • Cannot print in 'Black' in HP Officejet 6500.

    Separated from this thread.

    I have the same problem.  I have a HPofficejet6500 and I changed the black ink.  It prints all the colors on the test page but no black.  I did Diagnostics and could find nothing wrong.  What should I do?

    I chose the test page print and continues to print all colors except black.  Ink printer status displays all the colors OK and full.  I did clean and align the print heads.  Any recommendation or suggestion more to remedy this situation?

    I would contact the support of manufacturers of printer on this issue.
