• Photosmart HP 6520 - print in color, not black and white

  I have had this printer for some time and configure options so that it used only the black cartridge unless I put it specifically to do otherwise when I wanted to color.  It worked well and I could switch between black and white and color very easily.  A few weeks ago, the printer started to ignore the options I would set and printed in color.  I double checked the parameters, and the printer is always set up for black and white, but now it completely ignores and still print in color.

  I tried the settings at the time of printing, and that indicates that the image in black and white, it still prints in color.

  I haven't added any software or made any changes to my pc.

  Can someone help me with this, please?

  Hi Lulu and thank you for the reply!

  I suggest to download and run the HP print and Scan doctor.  Once you have run the tool successfully, try again the configuration in black and white.

  Please let me know the results.

• OfficeJet 150 Mobile - print is not black and white!

  Hello

  I have a few documents of color I want to print that really don't need to be in color. I assume here it makes sense to print in black and white except if required?

  Then next question is how can I do? I select 'Black & White' as a print option, but again, it goes ahead and print in color.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you!

  Hello again,

  I am happy to see that (for the most part) information I provided gave you a positive direction to solve your problem.  Once you make the changes, the settings are good for a print job. If the print job is 20 pages, then it will remain for all 20. If the print job is 1 page is all settings will remain. The bottom line is, you need to go and adjust the settings for each individual print job.  Once more I'm always happy to help you.

  Hello lovemutts,

  Thank you for being a member of the HP support forums.  I see you want to learn more about the print settings with one of printing applications to which you are subscribed.

  I've included the document Getting Started with Print Apps and at the request of delivery print Apps .  In the section titled "Managed print Apps" is a sub-section titled 'print settings.  In there, it says "On some printers connected to the web, a settings option is available on the screen of the print Apps Print Preview mode that provides options to select the type of paper and print quality."  If the application you are using does not offer this option so that you will not be able to change all the predefined print settings.

• 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.

• JPG of Windows Photo Gallery will not be printed in black and white / grayscale, than by the color.

  All of a sudden, for some reason unknown to me, my mon imprimante printer does not print images JPG from Windows Photo Gallery black and white or grayscale. No matter if I turn it on to or black and white color option / shades of gray option, it only prints in color. If I remove the color of my printer ink cartridge and leave the black alone to, and order the printer to print in black, the printer behaves as if it was printing but the page comes out blank.

  If I try to print, for example Word documents in black and white / shades of gray, they come out, as requested.

• Unable to print black and white with an empty cartridge

  My printer will not print not black-and-white, except when a color cartridge is replaced empty.

  How can I print black with an empty color in place cartridge?

  Some IIC (individual ink cartridge) printers have print heads that require ink available for periodic maintenance tasks. This avoids problems with hooves in the print head and the bad print quality. The following printers are unable to print when a cartridge is empty, even if the other cartridges.

  

  If one or more color ink cartridges are low but not empty and you want to minimize the use of color ink, you can change the settings in the HP software to print in black ink only (grey levels). Even if you change the print settings to print in black ink only, the other ink cartridges still have ink in them so that the printer to print.

  If you choose to print in black ink only, the printer always uses small amounts of ink from all cartridges for occasional maintenance tasks. HP recommends to replace the low ink cartridges in order to avoid any interruption in printing.

• 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).

• Canon MG5420 of color instead of black and white printing

  Yes, I read all the similar messages.  Yes, I have a Mac and follow the instructions to use TextEdit to get a printed sample to ensure that preferences are shown in black and white. In the sample of TextEdit, I was able to get a black and white document.

  I have used this printer for 1 1/2 years now without a problem.  Just a few weeks ago, when I print a document to be fair, black and white, it's printing in color or color MIXED WITH black.  Often, it is green with a bit of black or yellow and a bit of black.  When I scan a document or print a copy of a document directly on the Board, it is black and white.  When I print from my computer with Word for Mac or a PDF from Adobe, even if I make sure that the settings are NOT 'default' and the black and white option is selected, prints out in several colors.  I've made sure there's all the new ink in the cartridges, and none are the low toner level.  What to do now?

  Woohoo, Canon technical support with the phone number listed in this thread told me through it all.  It turns out that the head of the nozzle must be cleaned.  There is a small white arrow pointing up at the top of the home screen.  It is not a decoration, as I thought, but if you click on the arrow pointing UPWARDS on the printer controls that access you the parameters Menu.  From there, you can print a focus in color.  In my case, one color appears not at all, even though I had just replaced the color toner in the printer.  It said the tech that I needed to do a cleaning on the menu.  We did it twice and now it's good to go, good as new.  Thank you!

• black and white printing with a mac

  I've recently upgraded from a Dell Windows PC to an iMac with OS 10.9. I use my old HP 6500e 710 a Officejet All in One.

  In general, I print most of my documents in black and white that was available on version Windows 7 driver.

  On the iMac OS 10.9 driver version, I can print only in black and white in "draft" mode

  Based on another ad I saw on this forum, the drop-down list for a different HP printer (I think than 8300) had the function Select B & W print in any quality. In addition, she had 'gray levels' selectable.

  I seems that my version of the pilot V2.4.0 - 2 does not have the full options compliment. HP needs to update this driver OS 10.9.

  Can anyone HELP!

  happytohelp01,

  I got an answer from HP Support pointing me driver for Apple on the support site software Apple; HP v.2.16.1 for OS X printer drivers.

  This is to "'http://support.apple.com/kb/dl907 '. "   Once I loaded it, I was given the following instructions:

   

  Step 3: Change the print settings

  1 open the document you want to print

  2. click on file , then print

  3. make sure that the correct printer name is selected.

  4. we'll find the orientation option, there are menu drop-down. Select the Type of paper/quality (see the attached screenshot)

  5. click on Color Options.

  6. Select the Grayscale under color

  7. click on print.

  You can create a preset using the procedure below so that you don't have to change the settings every time that you print.

  1. click on menu presets

  2. click on create new preset

  3. assign a predefined name

  4 confirm to create the preset.

  Next time, you can select the predefined name for the settings that you have made.

  This allowed me to print in B & W normal quality.

   

• Need to convert to black and white for the print command... but it already is?

  Hello everyone. Last night, I introduced an order of printing for postcards, and got an email back asking that I convert the black back. The thing is that there is nothing on the back of the postcard that is not black and white. I have the original photoshop files, I just save it in photoshop pdf format, but how do the black and white if they are already?

  Image > Mode > grayscale.
