• HP 6600: why can I not print with only black when I have only black cartridge in hp 6600 as hp 4500'?

  and he always says that color cartridges are leaking so I had to make one more only accepts black and I can not print with only black.

  How can I print with only black when I have the only black in the printer.

  Why only black does not work with the color cartridges.

  What is the error message you see with the color cartridges installed?

  HP and other printer manufacturers have technology another printer for different needs.  For ink jet printers:

  • Some have integrated into the ink cartridges print heads.  These printers can print generally with one or more of the colors completely empty, or even with color or black cartridges (but not both) removed. 5665 envy is an example.
  • Other printers have separate replaceable printheads and inks.  An example would be the printer Officejet Pro 8610.  In these printers print head can be replaced if they are damaged by running the printhead with colors off.  Some of these printers allow printing with a color, the other will not.  If the printer is run without ink in one or several colours, the printer may be damaged, but the user may be able to recover without having to send to the printer for the service.
  • Other printers have permanent print heads.  To run only those without little ink in all colours would risk causing damage to the print head because of clogs, air ingested in the printhead or grilled printhead resistances of shooting. The Officejet 6600 is an example of this type of printer. For printers with fixed print heads that could require the service to get the printer to print properly again when the ink is finally replaced.

  The document described here how the ink is used.  The document is written for inkjet printers HP the same principles apply to printers inkjet from other manufacturers.

  If you do ever print color laser printer would probably be a better choice.  If you occasionally print color but especially black a HPI printer as those in the first category above can be a good choice.

• HP Deskjet 1000 J110: Intense black print with the black ink cartridge only

  Hello

  I am trying to print the darkest possible black, but simply by using the black ink cartridge. How do I get there?

  My printer is HP deskjet 1000 J110 using cartridge HP 301.

  I do my drawing in Adobe Illustrator and set the color to be CMYK 100 100 100 100.

  If I insert only the black cartridge, the printer will leave empty place where color CMY ink should be or it will fill the space with black ink?

  Basically, what I'm trying to do is to increase the density of ink to the highest possible but only using only the black cartridge.

  Thank you.

  Welcome @didididot,

  Thanks to their participation in Forums of HP! I see by your post that you would like to be able to print in the black as dark as possible. I can help you.

  You can use the mode single-cartridge:

  Use single-cartridge in the HP printer with a single cartridge. Mode single-cartridge begins when an ink cartridge is removed from the distribution of the print cartridge. In the mode single-cartridge, the product can only printing from the computer.

• DeskJet 6122 print with only black print cartridge?

  I had this oldy but goody through local Freecycle (with two sets of ink!) list after knowledge full it works under Linux and openprinting.org it lists as working perfectly. Plug and play installation with Ubuntu, instantly recognized 14.04.

  I think it is indicated only by old-school print/head of cartridge type, but I should be able to use it with the black cartridge only right? I know most recent will force you to have both. I love that the cartridge for the price are very economical too.

  The Deskjet 6122 requires a black cartridge and electric sound color must be installed in the printer to print.  It is not necessary to have ink in all colors, but both cartridges must be installed.

• 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.

• Can I print with only black print cartridge (color those missing)?

  Hello everyone and happy new year.

  Due to the fact that I have does not print in color, I decided to give my old and empty color cartridges for recycling

  the store where I buy them since then, and I bought only the black one (the double).

  I want to talk about 364 cartridges, I have a HP Photosmart B110a.

  The thing is that I get the message on the printer screen saying that the color cartridges are missing

  and even though I have the black one installed and I chose to print something only in black ink

  It cannot print anything.

  Y at - it a particular setting that I have to do, or it is a fact that I can not only print text, even if I chose

  the black cartridge? Each of the four ink cartridge must be installed to print only the text?

  Thank you in advance.

  The Photosmart b110a a ink cartrdiges individual and a separate print head.  To keep the print head don't dry out, you need to have all of the cartridges installed.

  Here it describes how the ink is used in inkjet printers.  In the terminology of this document the b110a is an IIC printer.

• (Redirected) new here - and have trouble with the black ink cartridge not to produce quantity it promises

  Hello

  I have an AIO 948 printer and for years had a ng bad espain on the number of prints each cartridge provides. He promises 585 when newly installed - this time I counted each impression, and now when he says that it is empty ( but experience, explains that he will yet deliver ca 30-40) gave 136 prints

  It's a lot less Quen 585

  I have found no place to ask this question about dell sites - it's not on my customer number - this is a general question whether dell deliver what they say they do - 585 prints pr cassette.

  Dell printers I had for about 6 years or more - it's a lot of cassettes - and I have such a bad feeling of being deceived here. Please explain that to me, someone - or at least give me a maildress who will read it and explain.

  Thank you!

• CP1025nw: Printing with the black print cartridge only

  Above printer just bought. Vendor assures me that I can print with just installed black toner cartridge. There is no cartridge included in the box! Until I set up and try, East - this correct work with only black cartridge installed? Thank you

  Hi @NoMe1,

  I have read your message and see that you would like to know if the printer print with just the black toner installed. I want to help you.

  This model requires all toners to be installed to print. When tonics for one or several are exhausted, they will have to be replaced in order to continue printing.

  You can configure the printer to print in grayscale, which will use less color cartridges. Here are the steps:

  The application, go to the file menu, click Print. Select the driver.

  Click on the dropdown, under color quality, you should have the options for printing in grayscale or possibly black and white.

  If you appreciate my efforts, please click on the "Thumbs up" button below. Thank you.

• DeskJet 932C, you can print with just replace the black ink cartridge?

  My question is basically simple.  The printer DeskJet 932C can operate with only black ink?  Color ink was empty for a while now, but the printer kept working, printing in black and white.  Due to the cost of the ink and the absence of any income available, we just changed the black ink cartridge.  The problem now is that the printer will not print not even black and white.  Do I have to scrape some funds to replace the color ink cartridge, or y at - it another way to get the printer working with just the new black cartridge?

  Thank you in advance!

  Hello

  Your printer can print in black only, but up to a certain point , you need tri-cartouche color otherwise it will not print. It's a little late now, otherwise if you only need to print B & W, a monochrome laser printer is very good and much cheaper to run (in terms of cost per page).

  Kind regards.

• DeskJet 3050 can operate with only the black cartridge?

  I wonder if the printer can operate with only black ink? The manual says that the printer can operate in single-cartridge. My previous color and black ink run out. So I installed a new black cartridge. However, the warning light is still on indicating there is no ink, and he says "door open". Thank you.

  Hi Alice, yes you can use the single cartridge

  Use single-cartridge
  Use single-cartridge use the HP all-in-one with only one cartridge.
  Mode single-cartridge begins when an ink cartridge is removed from the print
  transport of the cartridge. In the mode single-cartridge, the product can only print jobs to the
  computer.
  NOTE: When the HP all-in-one device operating in mode single-cartridge, a message is
  displayed on the screen. If the message appears and two print cartridges are installed

• DeskJet F4480: full black print cartridge still does not print black. Colors OK.

  What the title says. All of a sudden my Deskjet F4480 does not print black. All cartridges are almost nine (changed recently, bought at Staples). Colour printing is OK. Print a page with black text and results in only the images printing color images. I only went through all the steps of cleaning cartridge several times, no difference. There is no error message, just black not appear do not at all.

  And... Here is the solution.

  Funny how I found an explanation of the problem and how to fix it on a different printer manufacturer's Web site, but not on HP... But I digress.

  The black cartridge has been blocked. The way of difficulty is:

  1. remove the faulty cartridge from the printer.

  2. place a small amount of boiling water in a cup (about 1/4 in.) and dunk of the print head (the part where the ink comes out) in warm water for a minute. Do not immerse the entire cartridge in hot water, just the print head.

  3 take it out, pat against a paper towel, observe the model ink left in the cartridge on the towel. If too little / interrupted, dunk again in hot water for another minute, pat again. You want to get an unbroken line of ink through the length of the print head. Repeat as needed (I did 4 times total).

  4 cartridge Pat dry everywhere, put it back in the printer, run cleaning cycles (1 - 2).

  5. If still not good fixed, take out the cartridge and repeat 2 (I had to do it again).

  You will lose little ink, cartridge of bad and good a well (you can not run cycles with only 1 cleaning cartridge), but at least you won't have to throw a nearly full cartridge.

• OfficeJet g85 with only of black ink?

  For the officejet g85 all-in-one, is it acceptable to simply run it with a black ink cartridge (hp 45) and color (78 HP) slot would be empty?  Thank you.

  The #78 cartridge may be empty, but there must be a cartridge into the slot of the color to the G85 allow printing.

• Use black ink cartridges into the two slots? HP Photosmart C4795 - no color cc = us

  Can I use black ink cartridges into the two slots? HP Photosmart C4795 - no color, to save money?

  Hey JJ - B,.

  You cannot use a black cartridge in both slots. The print head channels are different for print 3 colors in a slot vs only black print out on each other. Using black in the two slots certaining most will cause errors and possibly damage the printer.

  Is there a reason you want to run the two blacks to be with? You can still print with only the back cartridge installed.

  Good luck!

• HP1515: MAC: unable to print with the black print cartridge only

  I would like to print the document with colors black and white. There are two options of color paper Type/quality. I tried to use the black cartridge grayscale mode only. However, only the white paper printed.

  I checked the supply level of ink that are in good condition (they are in any case the new cartridge).

  I also tried the high quality grayscale Mode. Things have been printed, but the result was unsatisfactory because of the color of melted from the police. The color of the police were too light being visible.

  What I can do to make sure only black and white for printing. No gray color is fine.

  Hey @yy1992,

  Welcome to the Forum from HP Support.

  I see you have a problem with print quality with the all-in-one printer HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 1515. I would like to help.

  The printer makes a decent quality copy from the front panel?

  I recommend you try two Solution in this article from HP. It is oriented towards users of Mavericks, but it should be pretty close to what you see on your Mac. Note that you can run the utility of cleaning printheads up to three times if you do not see a clear improvement immediately.

  Please let me know the result of your troubleshooting by responding to this post. If I helped you to solve the problem, feel free to give me a virtual h.o.t. by clicking the "Thumbs Up" icon below and by clicking to accept this solution.

• HP Envy 4500: URGENT - HP Envy 4500 does not print with only a black cartridge

  Hello

  My HP Envy 4500 will not be black and white print with just the black cartridge. I want to use the color cartridge, which is almost empty. Result: my pages get printed in a greenish color. I can't select the option "only use black cartridge" in the print option either (it is disabled). I tried to delete the printer and re - install again but it doesn't change anything.

  I need to print important documents quickly, so any quick help is more than welcome!

  Thank you
