  HP Officejet Pro 8620

  Is there a way to make the printer print black and white only?

  Hi oldstrings,

  You can change the characters to print grayscale (using a black ink only).

  I extracted the advice of setting of printer for windows and mac.

  Alternatively, you can check out the link to reference guide user below.

• OFFICEJET PRO 8600: PRINTING BLACK AND WHITE ONLY

  Printer does not print in black and white only, even if this option has been selected by "Printer properties" or "Printer Preferences".

  Please read this post then provide some details.  There the error messages on the computer screen or the printer?

  The Officejet Pro 8600 series has separate heads for printing and ink supplies.  To protect the print head of damage the printer requires all inks to be present to print in black only.  If one or more of the inks are exhausted, they must be replaced to allow printing.

  I have a Color Laserjet 2605dn, and all of the color ink cartridges have run dry.

• Sort of printing black and white only when magenta cartridge is empty?

  We have a HP Office Jet Pro 8500 a. computer running Windows Vista.

  The Magenta cartridge is currently empty, and we need to print an urgent document before we will be able to get a new cartridge.

  While trying to print a black and white document only, the following error has occurred:

  Exhausted ink cartridges

  HP 940 Magenta

  The cartridges listed above must be replaced to resume printing.

  HP recommends that you do not remove an ink cartridge until a replacement is ready to install.

  Specified in printing dialog windows that we want only black and white, but it is still received this error message.

  Is it possible to adjust the printer settings to specify explicitly that you want to use black ink?

  Thanks for any help you can give.

  This printer takes individual ink cartridges (IIC), and this ink delivery system requires that all cartridges to be installed for the printer to work. You can set the printer to "Using black ink only", but that must be done before a cartridge is exhausted, that the printer inks for other uses in fairest impression. It also uses the ink for the maintenance of the print heads. Here a link to a document that turns to explain various ways that ink is used in a printer beyond just printing.

• How to Setup printing black and white only in my Windows 10 for my new HP ENVY 4500 priter?

  I do not always want to use color hologram.  I want to save money. And if the black ink has not been used for a long time, it will be dry and waste.   But I did find this setting in the property of the printer. There is no such setting in Windows 10? If anyone can help? Thank you!

  Hello

  Setup may vary a bit from the printer to the printer but at the bottom (for Windows):

  (a) double-click the desktop printer icon.
  (b) click on set preferences.
  (c) click on advanced.
  d select "black ink only" for printing in Grayscale
  (e) click Ok/apply.

  Note: Printer must always and uses a very small aomount of color during the heating of the process inks.

  Kind regards.

• Why can I not print in black and white only?

  Why is the HP Officejet Pro 8600 more unable to print black and white only if the black cartridge is not empty?

  What I mean is that I went into the settings to set the printer to print black and white only but also print text in black only.  Yet, I HAVE to replace the cyan, magenta and yellow cartridges, because they are exhausted.  Nothing to do with black printing, whereas a SEPARATE black cartridge is and is always full should cyan, magenta and yellow ink?

  I'm aggravated about how the driver for this printer is designed TO FORCE me to buy cartridges not black when I deliberately put printing be BLACK ONLY.  I'm unable to move forward with my impression.  This is considered to be a show-stopper and is unacceptable as the setting that I've assigned and exhausted cartridges message contradict each other.  If the adjustment is made for print in black and white only including text, then print black and white, because I know that the black ink is still available.

  Take into consideration that printing may take place at any time.  Not being able to use black as my other color (WHICH IS NOT EMPTY AND IS A SEPARATE CARTRIDGE) forces me to stop.  I can't go forward until the store open.  Wal-Mart isn't always an option.   It's lost time.

  The inability to switch to self-supply to meet to use the black cartridge is only a waste of time.

  Call it for what it is, a form of ransom. HP wants me to spend the money on the color cartridges that have nothing to do with black and white printing.   When I am ready to print in color, which should be a time of my choosing.

  Either way, the form, which I am trying to print is black and white only.  No color is on this form.  It is foolish to force printing in color to a black and white document.

  Hello

  Specially protect the print heads printers much NEED other inks even they only print in black. During the warm-up process, printers require all inks so they can stop before we continue. Some printers allow printing (especially those who have the ink tank three colors), but they can print at a speed of snail baby.

  Kind regards.

• How can I make my officejet 6500 a print in black and white only?

  I am trying to print documents, not photos, in black and white.  The computer is a Macbook Air.  I'm looking for the manual, and I don't see how to set up printing black and white document WITHOUT PRINTING FAST current of AIR.

  Thanks a lot for helping me with this.

  I prefer, if possible, to make the default for printing black and white documents (which are not fast drafts). ***

  Hi @presentmomentum,

  Thanks for getting back to me.

  Here's how to adjust the color temperature:

  When you go to print a document, click on "Show details" (next, where it says PDF). Then click on 'TextEdit' and click on 'Type/quality paper.' From there, you can select the grayscale, black and white or color and toggle various levels of quality (Normal, Best project). If you use the grayscale function, you can choose just to use the black cartridge only.

  Let me know if it helps. If I helped you to solve the problem and that you liked this post, feel free to give me virtual accessories by clicking on the "Thumbs Up" icon below by clicking on "Accept as Solution" (this will help others find the solution).

• printing in black and white only on the all-in-one HP Officejet J5780

  I am trying to print page 2 of an article of web in plain black and white.  However, the upper part of the page is red on the web, the main part is black and white only.  No matter how clearly, I insist that I want simple black and white, what I get is the page, printed in red.    The printer does not do what I ask.  How can I fix this?

  Hi daniel199,

  You get the same problem when you try to print from another internet browser?

• I want to print black and white with empty color cartridge. My model is all-in-one HP Deskjet 4288.

  I want to print black and white with empty color cartridge. My model is all-in-one HP Deskjet 4288.

  The Deskjet F4288 joined the printheads on the ink supply.  These are replaced at each change of cartrdige so there is no concern about printing empty color or black cartridges.

  You should be able to print in ink entry mode "backup" by removing color (or black, but not both) cartridges.  There will probably be a warning message about ink backup mode but you should be able to print and the printer will work regardless of the cartridge is available.  In handwritten backup with the only color black cartrdige mode areas will print in shades of gray.  If print ink backup mode only the installed color cartridge then black will be printed by mixing colors.

  See page 75 of the manual here, that says:

  Use the entry ink-backup mode
  Use ink-backup mode to operate the HP all-in-one with only one cartridge. The
  ink-backup mode begins when an ink cartridge is removed from the print cartridge
  transport. During the ink-backup mode, the product can only printing from the computer.
  You cannot start a print job from the control (such as copying or scanning a Panel
  original).

  NOTE: When the HP all-in-one device works in ink-backup mode, a message is
  displayed on the screen. If the message appears and two print cartridges are installed
  in the product, check that the piece of tape plastic protection has been removed
  each print cartridge. When the plastic strip covering the contacts of the print cartridge, the product
  cannot detect the cartridge is installed.

• using the color laserjet 3600n - I want to print in black and white, but it prints black and white negative. * beep *.

  using the color laserjet 3600n - I want to print in black and white, but it prints black and white negative.  * beep *.

  I was able to recreate what you see.   I managed to work around it by installing a different driver that is also supposed to be compatible with the CLJ3600.

  Please consider trying this as a possible solution:

  (1) uninstall the driver CLJ3600 by opening printers and fax machines, driver selection and right-click on it and select Delete.  Once it is removed, right-click on an empty space in the windows printers and faxes and select Server properties.  Click the driver tab, click the CLJ3600 and then click on remove.

  One when you're done, restart, and then install the CLJ3500 driver.  This is a previous version of the driver that has been implemented for the CLJ3600 and is compatible with the CLJ3600.

  After installation, try printing again.

  The output I have indicates it will print is more negative.  Please let me know if you have success.

  One caveat about this solution.  The Color LaserJet 3500 doesn't support duplex.  Of workaround only works for two printing on the package of basic or the Color LaserJet 3600 N.

• HP Officejet L7680: Can I print black and white when color cartridge is empty - HP Officejet L7680

  Help, please!

  Can someone tell me if I can continue to print black and white if the color cartridge is empty.  The product name is HP Officejet L7680.

  Thank you

  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.

  Hello

  Open a document, and then select the option 'print '. Print a configuration box should appear where you can change the number of copies you want print etc. In this printing configuration box, click the properties button. In the Properties window, click the Advanced tab. You should have a marked section of color/gray scale. Click on the radio button next to the color option to change your rear flush draw.

  Hi macys.

  Welcome to the HP forums!

  Implemented a Photosmart 6520 for black ink only from your Windows 7 computer? That I can help with

  You will want to start devices and printers (via your control panel) with access to your folder and right-click on your Photosmart 6520 icon and select Printing Preferences. The window that opens will be similar to the display on the left of the screenshot below. On this screen you click the Advanced button, and then you will see a screen similar to the one on the right of the screenshot. There, you go the black ink only setting and press OK. Press and then apply on the previous screen before pressing OK again. The driver will now be on use black ink only.

  

  Let me know if that does the trick for you!
