stop of using photo black ink to print black text and where is past the color ink?

My HP Photosmart Prem C310 series all-in-one is using the Photo black ink cartridge for printing of text instead of the Black XL that I put in for the printing of the text. How can I use the right to print cartridge? In addition, even if I haven't printed ANY photo and a few pages of text from the new series of color cartridges that I put in, a few months ago are almost empty. Why? How could they be almost empty when I haven't printed anything in color? This is getting ridiculous replacement cartridges every few months WHEN I WAS NOT PRINT anything!

The ink cartridges game accompanying lasted several months. Since then, I've been through two sets in less than a year. It is 3 sets of ink cartridges when I printed only 3 photo when I first put in place. And have only used the than a 1/4 of a pack of paper to print. I put only two times more paper in it. Whenever it was an inch to 1/4 or 3/8 of a stack of thick inch of paper in the tray. I even tried to close the low printer so its not used for a long period of time, but the ink is still disappear. Where's he going? Why is it okay? How can I stop it? This is ridiculous. I may as well junk the thing even if it still works, because I can not aford to keep feeding ink when its just sitting there doing nothing most of the time.

Thank you

The c310a will use the photo black for printing in black if photographic Support is selected in the paper type, or if the setting is automatic and media are detected as photographic support.

This printer has to separate supplies for printing and ink heads and little ink is required in all the colors to avoid the print head clogged.  The page here discusses how ink is used.

  • HP Photosmart 7510 won't use photo black ink

    I have a photosmart 7510 printer and I am printing from microsoft word 2010 on a windows 8. I print a word with no pictures in document. Printer preferences are on plain paper with normal quality. I can't the printer to use the XL Black ink cartridge. It only uses photo black ink. Is there a setting that I can choose to let him use the regular black ink?

    Hi shirsar,

    I understand that you have a Photosmart 7510 which seems to use a lot more than regular black ink black photo. I'm sorry to hear that, but think I can help you with a solution.

    You can set the printer to use only black ink when printing from the PC and ensures that it uses black ink and no ink picture. My instructions will be set up in the pilot if he does for all programs (if you just want to program it please let me know, and I advise you more). You'll want to start by going to your start screen, and simply start typing devices and printers, and you want to open that (if that is not in the work Panel type and then proceed to open devices and printers). Once the devices and printers is open, right-click on your Photosmart 7510 icon and select Printing Preferences. You'll want to then click on the Advanced Options button at the bottom right of the screen. The next page that appears will allow you to set the printer to use black ink only when printing from the PC (please follow the screenshot below for any clarification).

    Hope this helps, have a nice day!

  • HP 5510 will be not printed black before and after you installed the new cartridge. the specified controls did.

    Photosmart HP 5510 will be not printed black before and after you installed the new cartridge.  The specified controls did.

    Yes, I was referring to manually clean the print head. I see that the 5510 lacks the possibility of leaving the print head manually.

    You can click on the menu of your SETUP program on your screen and go to TOOLS and clean the print head from there.

    If this does not resolve your problem, you may need to replace the print head.
    Contact HP Total Care (1800-474-6836), and if your unit is under warranty, its free.

    Let me know if this can help, thank you.

  • Invalid product key, left my computer with a black screen and a cursor of the mouse on the boot.

    A few days ago, I tried to upgrade Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) to Windows 10 using the free update. Installation hung at 84% for 2 hours, then restarted, was unable to recover the installation and then could not get back to Win 7. This left us with a black screen and a cursor of the mouse on the boot. The computer would remain in this State for about 10 minutes and then reboot and repeat.

    Fortunately, or so I thought, I had a few CD Windows installation backup from the back to the era of digital river. So I thought I'd install fresh on my empty partition, copy my files and data, and then format the partition with the installation broken on.

    I did, but now he tells me that my product key is not valid and cannot be activated. The product key came on a real label on the PC when we bought it.

    The key is for X 16-96072. I installed X 17-58997 (Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 with SP1 (u)). I don't know what is the problem with the key? Should I have installed without the (u)?

    One key 25 digits grouped in 5 sequences of 5 characters not X 17-58997.

    To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the diagnostic report produced by the MGADiag tool (download and save to the desktop -http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
    Once downloaded, run the tool.
    Click on the button continue, after a short time, continue button will change to a copy button.
    Click the copy button in the tool (ignore the error at this stage) and then paste (with r-click and paste or Ctrl + V) in your message.

  • OfficeJet 6500 prints a bright black text and blur gray/mast


    Also, I have the OfficeJet 6500 and had the same problem.  Black text was printing with a mixture of colored inks rather than black ink, resulting a gray, fuzzy text.   I finally found a solution.  In each application under Page Setup, there is an option called "Format for".  Mine was created for "any printer".  I changed that to "Officejet 6500 E709n [830E4A]" and now it prints black very well.  I have a Mac running 10.4.11.  I hope this helps.

  • Printer error: remove and check cartridge on the right

    One morning, beautiful (not so) my HP Photosmart 2610 printer showed this error on the screen. Since I can't print, scan, fax or copy. I removed the cartridge on the right, as shown in the error, but it looked very nice. Electronic contacts on the ink and the printer are visibly clean and Unscratched, the small metal lever is intact. The printer is out of warranty. Can you think of anything I can do to solve the problem? Or is this printer quite well not worth fixing at this point?

    Hi Emac8888,

    If you use new HP OEM cartridges and you get error messages when you try to install there is a good chance that the copper on the print media contacts are dirty or has a damaged become because of this error message. I'm not suggesting to try more than a new cartridge if you get the same error message. Do the age of this 2610 printer that you can upgrade to a new printer. Below, I have included a few documents that should help you to isolate the problem on your printer. If you find that the printer is the cause of the error message, I can help you get an upgrade to a new printer. Let me know what you find?

  • Black screen and mode standby with the message "no signal".

    Correctly, it's... kind of weird, I use my computer and the monitor for a year or 2 now and don't never had real problems. The thing is that when I got home last night I found my black screen and standby mode (as if the computer was turned off (which it wasn't)). I thought that the reset will solve the problem, and so I did and didn't get the message "no signal". All tried, reconnecting cables, reset several times I could count... nothing helped for awhile.

    At any given time during one of my restarts it reworked all of a sudden no aparent reason. So going on my daily buissiness I want to get back in the saddle, when I accidentally hit the side of my computer with a book and the screen went to 'no signal' again. Just tried again and even used my cell phone to check if the monitor was working,... now comes the weird part,... also on my laptor monitor is having problems with "no signal", but only when I do my main screen. It works as a secondary screen, but I can't get the context in which to work. (finding that I'm guessing that this problem is not related to my normal computer, but I'm not sure).

    I am running vista and got a nvidia 8800GT graphics card. Also, I noticed something that is at any time using both the hdmi cable on the graphics card or using the socket with the internal chipset of my computer makes no difference. in both cases, I get "no signal" and the screen goes to sleep... Is there someone who can help me and tell me what probably is the problem here? I'm really looking forward to the answers, thank you very much for your time and effort.

    Hi Ron Suykerbuyk,

    If you are comfortable, then try to remove the CPU cover and check if the graphics card is well connected to the motherboard. Even if it is connected correctly, you can try to reconnect the graphics card and check.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • Computer has a black screen and does not show the normal startup logo and more

    The computer that I use usually works well, until the next day, the day that I used it, ruined everything. My computer shows not the Windows 7 logo normal at startup, but instead, a bar with green lines in movement like the ones you see in older versions (Windows Vista), but now only the bar and did no logo in it and after starting does not display. It shows a completely black screen, but it makes a noise like the sound when she welcomes you to Windows 7. I tried safe mode and disabled the NVIDIA GeForce GT 220 graphics card and the screen works, but he is stuck at 800 x 600. In addition, the start screen is always the bar. How can I fix it? (Tried updating the gpu but still displayed black screen)
