Refuses to print in monochrome only

Recently, I replaced my Canon printer with a HP Potosmart 6520, which I put in place in order to exploit via WiFi. I use Open Office under Windows 7.

When I click on print with Canon printer I have given the possibility to print in color or black and white and slecting b & w worked well.

Now with the Photosmart if I select b & w it does not work and print in color without worrying.

I looked out the window / settings in HP and Open Office, but have not found a solution.

Any help would be appreciated

No problem.  You're good.

The problem occurs if you are using other programs?

  • HP Envy 5530: I replaced the black cartridge in my printer. She refuses to print in black only now.

    I ran all the standard tests. Black printing will produce only on cartridge color if used singularly. Print heads have been cleaned. Printer has updated its auto preset and no analysis of a printed item will be printed nor will be a printed document or the other. All prints have tried so far were in black ink. All worked perfectly until the change of the ink cartridge. Replacement cartridge used was a standard 301 HP black cartridge.

    Try here.

  • D7360 does not print in "Black Only", unless the color cartridges are also not empty

    I try to print a document in grayscale mode with Photosmart D7360 printer.

    In the Print Setup dialog explicitly checks the possibility of using 'Black Print Cartridge Only'.

    The printer refuses to print, in saying:

    «The following ink cartridges are empty: Light Cyan.» Replace the ink cartridges to resume printing.

    "The printer doesn't have enough ink to ensure printer health. Empty ink cartridges need to be replaced to resume. »

    This means that even if it does not use the color cartridges, each of them must be non-empty when the printer is in operation?

  • Printer refuses to print

    Printer that displays color cartridge is low, even if it has just been changed and this error occurs with the printer refused to print; even if I choose not to use black cartridge.

    Error persists even if I restart printer only or printer and surge protector.
    Also, sometimes, printer power on without the error and allow printing of a document and color print properly and vibrant but then the color cartridge error and nothing else can be printed. Troubleshooting doesn't help.

  • HP All - In - One Premium C310A refuses to print

    My printer refuses to print documents of any type of any of my computers (PC, Mac or iOS). He also refused to print embedded reports. I tried several power failure restart, updated all the drivers and software, removed and added the printer from the PC of widows. Each of these steps was preceded by the purge of the print queue.

    Finally, I removed all HP printer software, removed the device of the printers and devices Windows window, downloaded the new software and then added the printer in the devices and printers, installed the new copy of the software. The printer then dumped 4 files that I thought has been purged (3 text, 1 photo). Think the printer was now "fixed", I tried a test print to an Outlook note. The paper refused to print it.

    The printer is connected to my wireless network only. Intense beep and a valid address (198.168.1.78; network report displays, but refuses to print). I am running Win 7 Home Premium, OS X 10.6, iOS 6).

    First of all, make sure that the unit is being plugged directly into a wall outlet, not a surge protector, power strip or battery backup. Then remove them at the back of the machine and the wall outlet (so the cord is isolated) for thirty seconds then plug in again. How he responds after that?

    Let me know and have a great day!

    Hi jozz71,

    If you are wanting to use the black cartridge for printing, you can follow step 2 in this document to change the print settings to print in black and white:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/HP-OfficeJet-6700-premium-e-all-in-one-printer-series-H711/4322971/document/c04331666

    Please be aware that you don't need two ink cartridges to print.  The printer uses little color for printer maintenance.  This interview is described in the document I have attached.

    Once the color cartridges is completely exhausted you must replace it in order to print.  After this setting the printer to print in black and white will minimize the used color and make it last longer.

    I hope it's useful for you.

    After getting my old msi almost work I went to my wife asus1225b. This 64-bit machine seems to work ok with the latest software I downloaded. I just tried to print a file double-sided, but it worked. The scanner also works. With a 64-bit machine, everything seems so well.

    machine aligns perfectly - enough pages of test - machine says alignment failed and refuses to print with an occasional exception.

    HP 'aid' refuses to allow this issue

    Welcome to the don5188 forums

    I saw your post about your OJ 8500 if alignment and want to help! I would say after the troubleshooting guide for the same problem and if the alignment still does not work, then look in a trade or another printer.

  • HP 6600: Print in black only

    HP 6600 all the cartridges are in and only yellow is everything. I don't see that not setting a black than gray. That means I have no other choice but to and get a new color cartridges. Frustrating thinking I could still at least print in black only.

    Hey there @Nasher09!

    Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

    You will need to pick up another yellow cartridge.  Your printer uses a separate print head.  The print head is what sprays ink on the page.  You must have all of the cartridges installed and complete in order to print.  The 6600 Officejet uses all the same print black and white cartridges.  Without full cartridges print head will become damaged or dry.  There are some printers as the 4500 ENVY and Officejet 4730 using a 2 cartridge system.  These cartridges have integrated print heads.  These printers works in a single mode of cartridge and print black ink only, but your system printer 4 ink will not.

    Thanks again for posting and enjoy the rest of your day!

  • Printer jam HP Photosmart 5520 cleared but printer refused to print.

    I had a printer jam and allowed as usual. The offending page has been removed and it is together, with no part of it remains in the printer. But the window statement printer keeps saying there is a paper jam and tells me to delete it, and then click OK, and that he refuses to print. I tried to go through the process of 'unlock' again, several times. I have re-charge several times the paper in the tray. I turned off the printer and the computer. I removed the print request in the queue on the computer. I repeated all these actions.  Nothing has made any difference. My operating system is Windows 8:1. Can anyone help please?

    DaCu salvation,

    Thank you for answering my questions and have tried the solutions proposed.

    This really sounds like a disputed associated hardware, the fact that you have gone through the paper jam guide, and that the printer is unable to make copies. With the printer is in warranty, I would certainly recommend to you please call our technical support at the 800-474-6836.

  • Printing black ink only?

    We have just received the all in one printer 3050 wireless. The sole purpose of print from my iPhone. We do not have a computer at home. My husband has a work he sometimes brings home laptop. I figured out how to print in black only using his computer. Is anyway to do this on the printer itself when I print from my iPhone? I went through all the settings on the printer screen, but found nothing. Thanks in advance for your help. I don't want to use the color ink for the things that I do not have too :-)

    Hello Tea77

    You use the HP ePrint home & Biz? Or you use AirPrint and/or a different application on your phone? If you use ePrint you can connect to the ePrint centre and there should be a setting for the grayscale or black and white.

  • OfficeJet 660: My printer does not print in black only

    I want to print in black and white, but my printer does not print because my yellow ink is empty.  I tried to change the color to black and white, but it still won't print. Seems ridiculous that all would have to have something in it just to print in black and white.

    You have an Officejet 6600?  This printer has a print head permanent and separate ink supplies.  Little ink is required in all colors to print, even if you print in black only and only one of the colors came out.  (When printing in black color print head is always waving around in the air.  There are few available ink to prevent the nozzles from drying out and butcher them.)

    See here for more information on how the ink is used.  In the terminology of this document, the Officejet 6600 is an IIC printer.

    Sorry, you need to replace the ink color depleted.

    (b) click on set preferences.
    (c) click on advanced.
    d select "Black ink" only for printing in grayscale options.
    e click Ok /apply .

    Note: Same black ink, printer still uses only a smal amount of color inks, specially during the warm-up of the process.
