• When I try to print in black and white, my picture is flooded with blue ink

  Hello! I made sure that all print settings were correct. I did a cleanup of the heads and made sure that the inks were all full. I put six by four inches of the printer and used hp advanced photo paper. I put the gray-scale printing, as there is no settings for black and white.

  When the picture came through, he started to gray scale and further to the bottom of the image has been flooded with blue ink. I have an all in one printer fax C309 series. can someone help me please?

  It seems that the print head may have a problem. Lets go to the printing preferences for the printer (these can already be defined this way if yes let us know). In this window on the left column of the impression of the shortcuts can choose Fast/economic and set printing in grayscale on the right of "Black ink" only If your setting has been set to high quality try again to print. If you were already set to "Black ink" only under the grayscale option the printer may require repair.

• HP Envy 4500 series: print 'Photo printing without borders' and 'best quality '.

  Problem: It only prints in the borderless Photo printing option.

  Text in black it prints appears in gray.

  It prints only in quality adjustment 'Best '.

  The test (after cleaning the print head) page shows the 6 colored rectangles but no black text.

  I cleaned the print head, uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version of the software.

  The cartridges are NOT original HP cartridges.

  Of course, color works fine.

  I replaced the black cartridge with a new one, twice.

  I can buy a new printer for the price of these replacement cartridges.

  Should I worry about trying to fix this problem or should I throw it out the window?

  In the here document troubleshooting steps can help solve the black print is not on your printer 4500 desires.  Note that when printing in paper mode Photo black cartrdige is not used because the black pigmented ink is not compatible with photo paper.  If the photo paper is selected the pritner will use color ink to print in black.

  My guess would be that you have a black cartridge faulty, not unusual for third party cartridges *.  You can try to mop up the printhead on a damp cloth.  A good cartridge would have a strong black ink spot.  You may be able to recover the cartridge by soaking the print head in warm water, nozzles down to the 1 "of water for about ten minutes.  After soaking, dry the electrical contacts and reinsert into the printer.

• HP Photosmart 7350 will not print in black and white

  This camera has served me well for printing color photos and other things for several years.

  Ink is EXPENSIVE, and I have several text documents I want to print. I have several

  56 ink cartridges (black).

  I can simply not a black and white "no photo" to print.

  I tried with the 56 and 57 (beside him) inside AND out. I tried to select in grayscale,

  in all three sub-options (high quality cartridge, black only, optimized for the FAX). Tape

  is NOT yet on the 56 cartridge. I do not use any mode of 'keep the ink' I know.

  The best I can get using the FAX setting optimized (I think) is very pale, a bad quality

  print page - words too dark, I can barely read (light grey). I suspect it is sucking

  the cartridge (cyan-magenta-whatever) 57 to print it.

  I have trouble-shot days before that by typing. I googled this problem both

  in the HP forum and out through Google. What I'm trying to make is so basic and...

  I dare say, 'simple', that I can't believe is not possible.

  Thanks in advance!

  The print head is the rectangular silver part at the bottom of the cartridge on this particular model.  It would seem that the question be electronic printer failed, but before you give up, please try soaking in hot water with one of the printheads. It is possible for the accumulation of ink on the print heads to leave a stain on the fabric during the test, this could be confused with the strong task resulting from a cartridge to work.

• LaserJet Pro 200 m251nw: Laser Jet Pro 200 color ink bleed on black and white page after some use

  I print mostly black and white documents. I recently had 2 ink color of defamation in the pages that are supposed to be just in black and white printed. The first was the magenta, and it might discolor the entire page. The second was yellow, and it could fade just the left and right margins. It was two cartridges to Cartridge World, and they have done very well for some time after the installation or always had plenty of ink left when this problem occurred. The manager at Cartridge World has estimated that perhaps the part of the waste of the cartridge has been complete over time and flees to the ink. He said that for most black and white print still causes the drum on the cartridges of color to turn and empty the little ink in waste room. His suggestion was to get a second monochrome printer for most usage of my impression and just this HP product when the color is required. Who is? Other suggestions? If I replace the suspicious cartridges, print returns to normal, at least for a while.

  Hi @la1959,

  Welcome to the HP Forums!

  I see that your HP LaserJet Pro 200 M251nw, color of ink smear on black and white page after some use. I'm happy to help with this problem!

  According to the website of Cartridge World, http://www.cartridgeworld.com, it seems to me that these cartridges are rebuilt (refills). And, the information in this guide, can I refill the ink in my HP ink cartridge? States:

  Yes, you can. But what do you want? QualityLogic, one of the organizations of quality foremost in the world, has tested the performance of HP refurbished vs brand inkjet print cartridges (filled). Results: original HP inkjet cartridges ink far surpassed refills in print quality and reliability of printing.

  I am running XP Pro.  My computer came into mode Hibernate and when I restarted (power off; fed up) all of my Office programs (Word, Excel, PPT, etc.) are displayed in black and white.  The only color is the background strip at the top of the screen.  Icons, etc. are black outlines.  Same Outlook Express is different (it will highlight messages in green, not blue).  I reinstalled my display driver.  I fiddled with the option 'view' on each program, but nothing works.  Most of my other programs is not concerned that my browser (Firefox) lack also a few in the toolbar background colors, etc..  Any ideas?

• 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).

  Thank you for being a part of the community of HP.

  Have a great day!

• Black and white printing only problem for Mac at HP6480 all-in-one printer

  Does anyone know how to get the printer to print in black and white only?  As others have mentioned, the printer wants to use the cartridge printing black and white color.  When I explore each print option, drop down menu, question mark, it has no option to reset the printer b & w printing only, even if the summary section lists this option in one of windows printing.

  Have you tried cmd - p of any application, paper Type/quality and in grayscale, choose this menu?

• only of black and white prints

  My sisters new want 5660 printer prints only in black and white.

  I have been all over the net and my iMac to try to understand what is the problem, but nothing helped.

  I looked for the paper type / quality etc settings that were solutions to other problems, but these options are not on my computer.  I passed through all the menus on the printer and many of my programs in an attempt to change a few settings that is saying is not in color, this printer.  I opened the printer settings and the settings of my computer and nothing gave me the possibility to print in color or black and white.

  what the devil?

  the closest solution to you, that I could find was that someone uninstalled and reinstalled the printer and it helped for a while, until she had to repeat the same thing.  that cannot be a workable solution, and my first guess would be that there is a problem with the printer.

  However, if there is something that I am on, can you please let me know?  I'm annoyed at the moment and it's not yet my printer...

  Hello @jammypie,

  The reason why the HP ENVY 5660 e-all-in-one printer is not printing correctly from your Mac OS X 10.6.8 computer is because the printer is not compatible with Mac OS X 10.6.8.

  Because this printer is new, it is only compatible with Mac OS X 10.7, Mac OS X 10.8, Mac OS X 10.9 and 10.10 to Mac OS X. Therefore, there is no driver support on your Mac OS X 10.6.8 computer. I'm surprised that you were able to get the printer to print to your Mac in the first place. But this does not explain why your print quality is so bad. You can try the alternate drivers that appear under the screen (+) add under Print & Fax but I can't guide you to a driver who would be appropriate for your printer, because it is not supported on this operating system. It is an inkjet printer if you can try a few other ink jet pilots who appear in the list.

  The solution to this problem would be to install the desire on a supported operating system and all printing problems will be resolved.

  I wish you good luck going forward with this!

• How can I print with black and white cartridge only?

  
  

  Hello

  Unfortunately, it is not possible to print using the black and white, while one of the ink cartridges are empty.

  Using black ink only possible while there's ink color as well.

  While the color ink is not required for the purposes of printing, there are required for, maintnance operations of the device.

  As the appliance contains an internal printhead (IIC() system, lack of color ink can damage the system shortly. This is why the device is not functional when there is no ink in order to prevent damage to the system.

  For users who wish to print using just black ink (despite the reduced print quality), many HP printers offer options. For example, a driver colour setting (by selecting "print in greyscale with the black cartridge only" in printing preferences) specifies printing using only black ink. In addition, many IPH printers can operate in "reserve mode", which allows the user to continue to print with just the black cartridge when the colour cartridge is removed or not installed.In HP IIC systems, all supplies are required to be installed in the printer for the printer to function
