Printer set up (inks)

my printer has two cartridges, the black is empty, but my color sorting is full, is it possible that I can get my computer to set the printer up to just use the tri color cartridge as I know that some printers have only the color sort, I can't afford to buy a new ink cartridge, I think. How much is a black n cartridge 21 anyway? my printer is a hp deskjet 3940. I don't like if printed writing isn't black, I just need to be legible, any help would be appreciated, thanks.

  • MP560 print no black ink

    My MP560 ceased to print black text.  Ink cartridges are filled.  Spotlight prints all colors perfectly.  But when I print a doc from my PC or laptop displays only colored text.

    I used the utility Menon to do a clean and deep cleaning.  No help.

    I checked the ink cartridges for the pieces of plastic that could prevent the ink from flowing.  No help.

    I followed the suggestion of bgnewjersey, watched this YouTube video on the removal and cleaning of the print head (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZheZf-vdho8) and clean up.  Reinstalled and still, the printer prints all the colors, including black on the target but does print when I print a black text document.

    Any other ideas?

    I have a MX860, also ceased to print what it is black, have tried everything know to man to solve this problem, it is my opinion that the problem is in the circuit get in the printer it self. Reloading, reboot, reinstall did nothing. Here is my solution to the problem.  If this is a problem with the printer it self saying printing printing, the head, I thought lets try having the printer give print head a different set of instructions. I've pulled up a black and white document in Word format, went in Configuration of the printer, change the TYPE of PAPER to PAPER PHOTO GLOSS MEDIA. You can leave it on standard print quality. On the MX860 it load paper from the REAR test in this mode. I also checked the box at the bottom left to use this setting for all future prints. When I click PRINT, it load paper from the bin back and printed the paper perfectly. I also printed a photo 4 x 6 and it also printed perfectly. Yes, it did take longer to print the document, but 'so what' in my case, to wait a little longer is not a question of real evolution. The result is that with the printer set to glossy paper mode, it prints something black or color perfectly. Of course, this fix does not address the original problem which, in my view, cannot be fixed.

  • Print in black ink only - HP Officejet 6600

    I have a printer HP Officejet 6600.  Is there a way to set the default value of print in black ink only?  Currently, I have to do it every time I print a document in the office/computer laptop preferences.

    What operating system? In general the settings changed in the folder printers 'stick', changed settings in an application apply only to the local instance of the application.  For example Windows 7: click Start, devices and printers, right click on the Officejet 6600, printer properties, select what you want to the default settings, apply, OK.

  • HP printer model k110a INK PROBLEM

    Hello people!

    I'm having this problem with the model of HP printer (Deskjet Ink Advantage 2060 all)... I bought it just because of its cheap ink cartridge and now it's the BIG problem.

    For this stupid ink, I had my black ink smeared anytime I pinned, touched with a bit of sweat on the hand and as photocopied kena if I write something that precedes the paper... and the quality is right etc... as newspaper quality and perhaps worse than?

    the used ink cartridge is 704.

    So, anyone could contribute to improve the quality? Maybe I need to fit in the printer setting?
    Or, can anyone tell me is it possible if I change the cartridge to another model?
    Or, is it advisable to change it in external ink?

    I want this printer to fix... desperately...

    PLEASE HELP ~ ~!

    Thank you very muchiii ~!

    wenxt, have you tried going to the Printers folder on your computer (sometimes called "Devices and printers" or "printers and faxes" depending on your operating system) and by changing the printer preferences?

    Find the copy of your printer and right click on it. Go to "Print Options". Here, there should be a tab of quality, and you can select your printer to print in draft mode. This should reduce the risk of smudging.

    Also, the impressions with considerable amounts of ink will be dry longer than plain text documents. Don't forget not that you give the documents that you print the appropriate amount of time to dry.

    Let me know if it helps!

  • HP Officejet 6500 Wireless print with black ink

    HP Officejet Wireless 6500 won't print with black ink. This printer as worked perfectly for years. Now, all of a sudden, he leaves by using black ink. All other colors are working very well. Any ideas?

    I tried several cleanings and reset by pressing on # and 3 when turning the power on. Nothing works, but the ink levels are declining due to all the cleanings trying to get this thing to work.

    I have it!

    I have searched all over the internet for a solution to this problem. Some people have the right idea, but not how to implement it.

    Problem: Black ink doesn't print all colors print but not

    Reason: for black print head is clogged.

    Implementation of solution:

    Set 920 ink jet cartridges in cartridge print head which is held in place by small arm on the right side of the ink cartridges.

    1. remove all the ink cartridges. I didn't want them to dry, so I wrapped them in plastic wrap.

    2. lift the arm and remove the print head cartridge.

    3 rinse the WHOLE print HEAD under a stream of water. I know it sounds crazy, but it will work. I thought it was best to rinse all the (not only black) because if I did not then the ink left any color would dry up and clog in any case!

    4. I leave the printhead to dry for about an hour, BUT IT DOES NOT WORK. When I handed the printhead my 6500 gave me an error message that it could not find the head of printing or something like that. I thought I ruined which was the risk I was willing to take. I went online and searched for a replacement at low prices. I immediately ordered it. But I have excluded the old printhead to dry just in case it is water which made it unnecessary.

    5. four days later I received a new printhead. Before I opened the package I tried the old an new AND IT WORKED! First, I installed the old print head cartridge, then each of the inks. After having done that, the 6500 did the rest. He went on a very long print head cleaning and alignment. He gave me the message "Please wait. Printer preparation occurring. »

    6. when the cleaning and alignment end it automatically prints a test page. It didn't look perfect the first time, but it was close. The message I got was, 'success. Alignment with success. Recycle or discard the printed page. Press Ok to continue. "The problem was that the ink cartridges were emptied of this whole process, even though they had about half of the ink when I removed them left. I changed the ink cartridges and did a cleaning and a level 2 cleaning and alignment. It worked!

    7. because I could not return the new printhead that I am now in case of failure of the print head for another reason.

    I don't know how long it will take to dry print head after rinsing but I know works of 4 days. Perhaps a few days would have been sufficient. If someone does and less time please let others know here.

    If you don't have success using my method, at least you know it will solve a new printhead. I paid about $35 for a new.

    Good luck!!

  • Does not print any black ink

    Hello, I have a Photosmart C6380 all-in-One Printer.  It will not print in black ink.  The other colors work very well.  I changed the 4 smaller cartridges because they were all low or empty.  The larger black cartridge is about half full, perhaps slightly slot so I have not yet changed.  When I print, it prints all colors except black.  I really want to buy another cartridge with him still having a lot of ink left.  However, the other day I tried to make a copy just for the heck of it.  Dang, he printed the copy very well.  I shook my cartridge twice.  The first time right before printing to think perhaps this would help.  The second time right before I did the copy.  So why will it work for the party copy, but not printing?

    I also tried assigning the factory settings, but that didn't help either.  Also, I had problems with the office, so I can't try it print again until I get this job.  I tried to download the software of the printer on my laptop, but it does not work.  I would also like to be able to print wireless with my laptop and printer.  How can I do once I get the downloaded software?

    Thank you!

    Color cartridges are typically used when you print copies unless the printer is set for improved text and the copied document is recognized as text.  Try to print a page of test, as shown in step 4 here.  If black is not printing, follow the steps in troubleshooting in this page, especially looking at the vents and cleaning of the print head.  After the first seven steps, if the problem persists the following may help.

    Please read this post then provide some details.   What operating system?  Running the diagnostics to http://www.hp.com/go/tools can help solve the problem.

  • HP photosmart Premium All in o: how to print in black ink only, when all the colors are empty except new black tank.

    In the past, I was able to print with cartridge black new xl size, although all colors are empty city black photo.

    I have upgraded to OS to win 10 and my printer does not print with black ink only.  I ran a test and black ink appears here.  I print a few things ok in black only before having to make a reset in progress and had to reinstall a ton of programs and software.  No matter what I do with the properties, it will not be printed on the page and try to use colorful tanks that are empty.  It was never a problem before using win 7.  Please help ASAP!

    There are a few things to check:

    • Make sure the paper type is set to plain paper.  If Auto is selected and is confused with the Photo paper paper or photo paper is selected only the color and photo cartridges will be used.  (The pigmented black ink cartridge is not compatible with photo paper).
    • Define advanced settings for printing in grayscale, black ink only.  Otherwise, the printer may by default using inks from color for chart areas, since this offers a better print quality due to the smaller droplets of ink color.

  • Since Vista upgrade of fonts on the pages Web resembles a printer on insufficient ink. Note, this is not a printer problem, but a problem of display. How can I fix this?

    I've recently updated WIndows Vista with Microsoft updates. After the reboot, the fonts on most of the pages in Firefox and my word processing program, (StarOffice not MS Word), light, incomplete, appearance part of the letter low while the rest is dark. Looks like, what I can only describe as, a printer on insufficient ink. I tried to increase the font size, reboot again.

    I suspect the problem with Windows and not Firefox but I'm lost as to how to correct the problem, so any help will be greatly appreciated.

    I can help you manage your print settings. I wonder if the option you are looking for is not available when you use the AirPrint driver and if you use this driver instead of the HP driver.

    We will restore the printing system, repair disk permissions and add new printer using the HP driver.
