Print fades before one or more cartridges are empty

I have a HP Photosmart Premium C309a.  My computer operating system is Windows XP.

Without warning my bland impression.  I have check the cartridges.  Sometimes, it is obvious that a cartridge should be replaced, but mostly it's not obvious.  I can not restore print until ALL cartridges are replaced even if it is obvious that we have a lower level of ink than others.

More recently the black print faded to close unexpectedly.  I checked the cartridges.  The black of the photo was low (and I rarely use this printer/copier to print photos) so I replaced it.  All other cartridges show at least half full or better.  Still no black printing.  So I replaced the other black ink cartridge.  Still no black printing.  I guess if I go out and spend $100 or more for a new set of cartridges that my impression is restored.  If I do, that will make it 3 times that I had to do - basically as far as I can tell I'm throwing cartridges which should always be functional.  I downloaded the doctor print and Scan and he tells me that everything is fine.  If I print a test page for this diagnostic tool more I test printed other tools help pages and help depending on what tool I use me either to get a white or black page without a photo is missing.

My last attempt to solve this issue is to uninstall and reinstall the printer.  If this does not work I will abandon hope and replace this all-in-one.  I am very disappointed because when it works it is wonderful.  But when it does not work I get no warning and it costs too much to get my feel back.

Someone else meets it?  is there anything else I should have done, and I'm not?  Thanks for any help.

So I went shopping for a new printer and that's when I discovered that this problem of cartridge seems to stretch on at least another brand.  A person writes a review on another brand of printer called a program 'passive income '.  No matter that all but one of the cartridges is full.  If your printer decides that a cartridge is low, all cartridges must be replaced in order to print correctly again.  It's about $100 bucks on the C309a.

Ok.  I wanted an answer and I have one.  There is no support or troubleshooting this problem.  Just go buy 5 cartridges new if they are out of ink or not, and're you good to go.

    Could you please try to repair Acrobat on the Help menu, and then restart.

    Check also under ' Edit > Preferences > Documents "If the display PDF/A mode is set to always. If so, change it to "Never" and try to delete pages.

    Another option is to use "file > save as option to save the file under a different name and then try to delete pages in the new created the file."

    One or more margins are set to show solidarity with their pages. You want to maintain the current number of pages on these gaps?

    What does that mean? Can someone describe me in detail?

    I have a 249-page book. When I put the pages 'deal with' in the paper configuration dialog box, messages will appear. And not all the pages are changed in face also.

    This means that one or more pages has been selected at one point and 'Allow selected spread to Shuffle' has been disabled to turn off (or the entire document has been defined not to beat by unchecking "Allow Pages from one Document to Shuffle".) The message, in this case, means that unique pages configured to not mix will remain simple pages, if you decide to maintian the number of pages.

    You can specify which pages are configured to not mix by looking in the Pages panel. Their number will be in brackets.

  • 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:
    1. In the software application, click print
    2. Select your printer
    3. Click Paper Type/quality menu
    4. Click the triangle next to Color Options
    5. In the color menu, select Grayscale or black & white
    6. Select the printing black only ink cartridge
    7. Click print

  • OfficeJet 8500 A910: Officejet 8500 A910 think all black cartridges are empty

    OfficeJet 8500 A910 keeps telling me to replace the black cartridge to continue printing.

    First, I removed the cartridge (which was 3/4 full), he looked at it and put it in.  I was able to print 10 pages until it gave me the same message.  I did once again and was able to print 2 pages.  Finally, I put in a new cartridge.  The printer told me it was happy.  I printed 10 pages until the replacement cartridge message came again.  I removed the new cartridge and put it again.  Print more than 10 pages.  Now it does not PRINT because the printer think to replace the full cartridge.  I tried to close, replacement print head cleaning all ports.  cleaning the contacts of the cartridge and print head, changing the yellow cartridge.  NOTHING IS THERE FACT.

    It seems that the sensor is messed up, but where is this sensor?  O for the day where I was allowed originally instead of the treatment of the HP me as I have the brain of a worm.  If I could just disable all the sensors on this printer, it works fine, but HP wants to control everything, so nothing works.

    Does anyone else have this problem?  Anyone find one solution other than a new printer?

    Hi @CWickstrom,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I see that you are unable to print because of the warning of low ink on your printer HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910. 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.

    To help you better, I may need more information.

    What is the exact error message that you receive?

    I would like to do a hard reset to see if that will solve the problem.
    Let the printer and disconnect the printer cable and the wall socket for 60 seconds.
    Reconnect the power cable to the output of the printer and the wall, and not a surge protector.
    This ensures that the printer is full on and can help this situation.

    • Make sure that the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (do not use a hub or a surge protector) This ensures that the printer is full on and can help this situation.

    Hello and welcome to the community of HP @naristot,

    I understand that you would like to know if you can continue printing in black ink, if one of the color toner is empty. I'll be happy to help you.

    This printer was designed to function as a system of four cartridges, so you must have all four available ink cartridges in order to be able to print.
