Printers HP Envy 5660: default printer of ink settinga

I've just set up a new printer HP Envy 5660.  The default ink setting is color.  I want the setting of default to be black ink.  How do I do that?

Hello @f_z , welcome to the forums.

I saw your question about wanting to change your setting to print in color, print in black. You must select the option to print in black ink only in the driver of the printer itself.

Visit this link to help you the title of 'Change the default for all print jobs print settings':

I hope that helps!

Happy Monday

  • HP Envy 5660: update printer

    I bought a HP Envy 5660 printer. After installation and setting up of an email etc., I realized that it did not support my camera memory stick.  I returned the printer and bought a different mode, e 6520 HP all-in-one.  I uninstalled the 5660 envy.

    I always continues to receive a message from microsoft update, and of course if I do, it fails. I am not tech savvy so I need easy instructions.  How can I stop getting messages to update?  I would like tio get to my 6520 new but not the envy of 5660. I would like ideas, that someone has. Remember that I am not tech savvy.

    I want to take the time to thank all of you here to try to help me solve my problem. I had done the uninstall, etc and still could not get rid of the update message.  somehow or other, today, I was doing other updates of windows and started perusing the menu troubleshooting.  I found a link saying: "I get messages from update for the items that I already uninstalled.    clicking the link for the updates you choose one you do not envy, then right-click, and then click Hide update, then click OK. It worked to get rid of the update message.  Maybe help someone else out there.

    Thanks again for all of your responses.

  • HP ENVY 5660: Connected printer & print desktop PC and tablet. Print & Scan doctor says he is not and cannot be.

    A couple of weeks ago, we changed Internet providers & I plugged our devices (desktop, tablets, phones & printer) in the new system.  We now have AT & T U-verse with a cable of optical fiber to a hub not far from our House & a circuit dedicated copper from there to the router/gateway. They claim that we have a regular service of Mgbps 18.

    Everything seems to work very well. We had anything drop and do not cause any problems. However, our range of printers HP says that it is connected to the Internet. It provides all the correct information and it works very well in our devices. But the Asus desktop computer insisted that the printer is offline, even if I print documents from him. Today, Windows did an update and when I checked the update report that he said he could not update the printer because it is in offline mode and it will not be printed. Then I printed something again.

    This update failure is my real problem. When I checked in the settings in Windows 10 on the desktop, it also insisted that the printer is offline. So I clicked on the icon of the application for the Print & Scan doctor. He also insisted the printer is not connected and that it is unable to connect from the Internet. Yet once again, the printer prints despite this reported disconnection.

    I don't know if the printer is actually updated even if update report says that it is not. I have had no problem since the printer from the reconnect the devices and printer or the update today. After I've done 4 or 5 tries to install the software with printing & Scan app, I checked in the settings of Windows 10 and again, he has insisted that the printer is offline.

    However, earlier, I checked in the settings, printers and scanners again in 10 Windows on the computer from Asus desktop & for the first time it reports "Series of 5660 HP ENVY (network)" & "Serial number (5660 HP ENVY series)" as the customs declaration.  The first says that it cannot print when I tried a test page; but, the other printed a test page. Is the first representative of the scanner and it cannot print because no document has been selected?

    When I created this Asus desktop / printer in February when I bought them, I did it using WIFI only, using no USB connection, to do and the printer has always worked our devices just as it continues to do so.

    Again, my real problem is declared failure to Windows 10 update.

    Thank you for taking the time to browse this message and I thank you for your help.

  • HP Envy 5660 printing mode: printing and print copy mode.

    Just bought HP Envy 5660.  Menu assistance has not helped me.   I want printing and copy to print in draft mode.  Is there a way to do this by default for print and copy?   I can change the mode when you print a document, but do not know how to do with the copy.  I would like this to be automatic, without making any changes for each document.

    I think you need to press on copy, then small logo copy the settings (like a toothed wheel). That will make appear the menu copy settings, and you can click on 'quality '.  You should then have the choice of the best, Normal and project.

  • HP ENVY 5660: Bad error ink

    I have a fairly new HP ENVY 5660 I used ink program instant when I got it. (BAD idea btw since it has never detected the color was out and never sent me a new so he kept trying to print in black only)

    I stopped the service, and immediately it detected I was using one of the ink cartridges instant and said I had to get out. Fine. I went and bought new XL cartridges and put them in. I got about 10 printed sheets and then started having a "bad cartridge. Try cleaning the contacts' message. I cleaned the but kept getting the message.

    I decided to try the new reg instead of the XL cartridges and still get the message.

    I just lost money on 4 ink cartridges and do not think I should buy a new printer, since it is only around the age of 6 months.

    Can someone tell me how to clear this message? I tried to turn all market. Is it possible that the program Instank of ink is still running in the background and crashes me to use these ink cartridges?

    It's posible dora, you're using regular cartridges on all colors.

    Because if your using an instant ink and ordinary ink, which will not work.

    Two of them should be regularly ink cartridge/moment.

    And you mentioned that this printer is only 6 months, on a technical level, the printer is still under warranty, though wanting to give them a call they should replace your printer.

    I hope this helps.

  • 5560 envy: Envy 5660 prints graphics but no text

    I tried printing text using Word, Notepad and Thunderbird and get a blank page. If the doc contains a graphic image, it prints correctly. Pictures print correctly the computer and wireless from my phone. I followed HP TROUBLESHOOTING troubleshooting with no result, but, in reality, it does not all situations when printing elements and others do not.

    The printer is connected to my pc via USB.

    Anyone experience this or you have ideas?

  • Printer Envy 5660: How can I have a different destination after a scan

    How can I have a different destination after a scan so profile Windows my wife she will have to go to its documents and on my profile do go to my own documents

    Hi @drmarcLB,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand that you need help save the scans on different destinations on your HP Envy 5660 printer. I'd be happy to help you with this.

    Here is a document that I recommend that you try, HP printers - Scan using Full Feature HP Software (Windows 7).

    For example:

  • HP Laserjet P1102W: I chose the eco mode (less ink) for a print job. Now, default printer for this. How to cancel?

    I chose the eco mode (less ink) for a print job.  Since then that a default printer and some programs (for example, picasa) allow me to choose normal print mode I often forget to choose normal.  How can I definitively cancel eco or printer back to the original setting?  Printer works wirelessly.  Thank you.

    In Windows 7, click Start, devices and printers, right click on the Laserjet P1102w, select Printing Preferences.  Select the desired default values, apply, OK.

  • HP ENVY 5530: Option of printing black ink

    The HP ENVY 5530 has an option to print "BLACK ONLY."?  I want to save ink of color when the color is not necessary.

    Your help will be appreciated.  Thank you!

    Hello

    Yes it a. copy the value of preferences in the context of quality to select the option "Black ink" only as a default value. Please note: even print in black only, always use a little during the reheating process color inks. HP Envy 5530 can print when one or 2 color ink "tanks" (but not all 3) are empty.

    Kind regards.

  • ENVY 5660 All in One: internet access HUGE in 4 hours of printer ENVY 5660

    Hello

    I had a hard time with my brand new (3 days old) want 5660 Iin all-in-One. He had a rash of sleep/wake/restart Issus where I worked through--with little success.

    However - today I saw a HUGE increase in my use of the internet just in the last 4 hours. I installed this printer on 7/25 - use of the internet was normal on this day and on 7/26 - nothing more than my usual consumption - and I was playing around with the printer for the most part of these 2 days. Today I turned it on and within 4 hours, I had used close to a GIG and a half - usually in a day I don't use only about 250 MB (a GIG and a half is about 8 days for me).

    Everything was normal - unauthorized access to my signal, nothing extraordinary for the use - computer actually very little use at all - just this printer. Any ideas of what could be the cause? Something went wacky within the printer itself?

    I have little confidence in this printer now - and if it's really going to use all my monthly allowance of the internet (I don't have unlimited access) - I can't keep him. It is now OFF until I followed my use some time - which is not helping me to solve the other problems he has.

    Any ideas on what the question might be - something to check or disable - would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Hello @TNorth,

    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you have a pleasant experience with us!

    I understand that you have some doubts about the internet usage of your e-all-in-one printer of HP ENVY 5660. I want to help you with this.

    First, while the printer connects to the internet, none of its functions could use the amount of data you describe. So, I do not exclude the possibility of an unauthorized access to your network.

    You use the printer for ink snapshot? Otherwise, you can actually turn off the function of web services on the printer and it does not connect to internet at all (you will still be able to print good wireless).

    If you want to keep the web services that are running, try to disable the feature of automatic update for your printer:

    1. Drag to the left on the printer homescreen and select Setup.
    2. Select printer Maintenance.
    3. Select update from the printer.
    4. Make sure that the Automatic printer updates is set to OFF.

    If you still have problems with the printer after these steps, I recommend to contact our telephone support of HP Cloud Services at 1-855-785-2777.

    I hope this helps!
