using three colors instead of the HP C4780 black print cartridge

can I set up my printer to use the cartridge three colors to black and white or regular print?  (I buy black cartridges and lights all but seem to only use black).  THX!

Hi winter1420,

Welcome to the HP forums!

I see that you want to print using only the color on your Photosmart C4780 cartridge. I'd be happy to help you with that

Looking the Page 50 of your User Guide, I would say that Yes, it is possible to configure the printer to print with just the cartridge three colors. Please note that your black from the color cartridge is perhaps not exactly black as explained on page 50 in the Guide of the user as well.

Hope that helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions!

    Click Advanced,
    Seleck black grayscale printing ink only.

    Click Ok to exit.

  • The color selector is to select the background color instead of the foreground color.

    You know how when you are painting, you can hold ALT and it will choose a color of the cloth? Well, for some reason, mine still picks up the color, but it assigns background color instead of the foreground color. And when I actually select the eyedropper color tool, it will only select the background color but when I hold the Alt key, you select the foreground color. Basically, he is knocked down to where it is supposed to select. Do you know how it folding? He drives me crazy. Thank you.

    In the Color Palette (window > color) click on the foreground swatch. A "ring" will appear around it.

  • Black print cartridge registers is not on the right side of the page

    CP1215 has developed a weird problem! Recently replaced the black print cartridge (new, original HP).

    Printing a document in BLACK color, this isn't a problem. Crisp and clear impressions.

    Print the same document in color gives completely misaligned recording BLACK on the side RIGHT of the page. The side LEFT is clear!

    Printing CONFIGURATION PAGE confirms the problem. Registration of marks below on the LEFT are perfectly aligned.

    But on the lower RIGHT, all colors are aligned with the exception of black - the black line is much higher and offset printing to the right where it should be. That's why the color prints are all blurry on the right side of the page.

    Calibration several times running, check the drivers etc.

    Any help/advice is really appreciated!

    Hi Gemini02,

    Sorry about the long absence, but was busy with other stuff. More beat troubleshooting according to your last email.

    First of all, a few answers to your questions:

    1. don't know what the problem is. Don't want to start replacing immediately.

    2. all ink levels are more than 80%; Black nine.

    3. all the cartridges are original HP Black has been replaced recently, the other three provided with your printer.

    4. the paper is double-a premium, 80gr

    5 paper is set on the plain. Have you tried with the HP90 and light parameters too.

    After following your instructions of troubleshooting:

    6 printer moved closer to the wall outlet - it's a machine heavy tho!

    7 pressed & held green button. Config and supply status printed pages.

    8. print with other applications (Photoshop, Word, PowerPoint and Adobe Reader).

    Problem persisted. Registration completely to the bottom of the hand right side of the page and the worst in the lower corner straight out.

    Acts of desperation next, pure:

    9 deleted each cartridge, shaken several times on the axis horizontal and then triggered one end while decreasing the other and vice-versa several times. Replaced in the status bar.

    10. Ran HP Toolbox calibration.

    11. test print to Adobe Reader - same document as before. Substantial improvement!

    12. Repeat steps 9 and 10. Further improvement.

    13. Repeat steps 9 and 10 more. Almost no problem checking.

    14. Repeat steps 9 and 10 more. No record of the questions at all!

    Then, to avoid the location and power source:

    15. moved printer in its normal location.

    16 connected the printer to its normal power source - an extension of good quality.

    17. reprinted on the same page. No registration no questions at all.

    I have no idea why the steps 9 and 10 would have such an impact. And why repeating them would improve the print quality progressively until no problems are observable. I have detailed my action here in case they can help someone else.

    I thank very you much for the support and guidance you provided. If you have any idea why the repeated shaking and calibration solved this problem, I would be very interested! Keeping in mind I ran several times previously without success to calibration.

    Thanks again for your help.

  • HPO D5560 not print with the black print cartridge

    Having a D5560 printer which stopped printing with the black cartridge.

    Thought it was the cartridge has installed a new (only use HP cartridges) no difference

    After thinking the Black just stopped - no phasing-out quality, etc..

    Ran the cartridge filter (all levels of cleaning) no difference

    Print well if I remove the black cartridge so that the Tricolor print black but it's only good to work around the problem

    I use this on Windows 8.1. It worked fine for months

    Can't think that I had installed recently HP driver updates

    I have a hardware problem?

    Thanks for any input

    See you soon

    Geoff

    OK, so it's weird.

    Just thought to connect my netbook windows 7 into the printer.

    It print very well with the black print cartridge.

    Sent a work computer Windows 8.1 and now prints fine in black of the black cartridge.

    Problem solved, but I'm losing the plot!

    See you soon

  • LaserJetPro M201dw: Error Message on new HP LASERJET PRO M201dw - "install the black print cartridge.

    Hi, we have a new printer HP LaserJetPro M201dw. We put up this morning, following the instructions as stated in the manual, but the printer keeps blinking and say "install the black print cartridge or clear jam."

    The printer has never been used, so there is no jams, and the ink cartridge was too brand new and a black cartridge HP official. The printer does nothing, it doesn't print, I can't do a cleaning page, it simply does not work. I tried resetting, disconnected from the power supply from the mains and put it back, and we tried a second new ink cartridge, he pulled several times and it still says "install the ink cartridge. I is not a jam in the printer at all. I tried following the recommended steps for others who have had the same problem, but always without success.

    The printer has been installed successfully on my Windows Vista computer, but the same error message appears on my computer when I try to print directly from the computer.

    I would be grateful for any suggestion. Thank you very much.

    You probably have a joint expedition on something.  It really is a common thing, now it's HP shipped toner in printers take the tray, toner, open everything. Tilt the machine upward, look inside, etc.  Use a flashlight if you have not entered of lights in the room.

    If it's blue or orange, a transport lock.  It could be as simple as a piece of tape, a plastic tie or a block of expanded polystyrene (white).

  • How to use Adobe color cc with the help of Illustrator?

    hhijacks

    I am able to see my color themes in the libraries Panel in illustrator, but I can not add to my color chart to use their help!

    The only way to do that in Illustrator, currently, is to place your themes of color on top of the canvas and then create a color group using the tool group of colors in the palette swatches. I created a video to show how this can be done.

  • Is it possible to use a color library for the selected text in a text box?

    What I would do, it is to be able to select a string of text in a text box and assign a color of the library. Currently, all you get is an audible 'bong' If you highlight the text and you try to select a color in the library. Similarly, if you select the text, then select the palette of color of the characters and then try to pick the color of the library, it will not do.

    Attempt of steps:

    1. Select the text you want to change the color in a text box

    2. Select the color in the character window

    3. try to select the color in the library

    Screen Shot 2015-01-24 at 2.12.26 PM.png

    I imagine that this has not been just haven't implemented but I want to just make sure that I wouldn't have missed something if there is a way to make it work in the way that it seems , it should.

    You can hold down the left mouse button, click anywhere in your picture, drag the eyedropper on the libraries Panel, hover over the different shades and you should see the colors change in the color picker.

    When you find the color you want, release the mouse button.

  • Color cartridge loaded in the black print cartridge slot and vice-versa - now cannot remove the

    Accidentally, I loaded the new color and black cartridges in the wrong slots, and now I can't delete them.  How can I get them without breaking the printer?

    If you have a spare cartridge you can look and see a small crest on the top of the cartridge near the front.  This is the part that is stuck.  Using a blunt knife or the handle of a spoon to gently release the cartridge down a little should allow the cartridges to be released.

  • Photosmart HP 5510: Error with the same type of print cartridge black that I use for more than a year

    Hello

    For the last days I'm not able to print anything from my Photosmart 5510, because I get the error message "" Black - cartridge incompatible generation more "or 'cartridge for printers of older generation'." In addition, it does not give me option as before proceeding, in any case and I can't activate wireless. So, actually I have no printer at all. I reinstalled the driver but the same thing, after I did that and restarted a printer.

    I've been ordering cartridges on eBay and Amazon for a few years now. They were not HP and printer always said to me that it is not genuine HP cartridge. I have no problem with notifications, as it prints well. I printed several pages of document .pdf only 4-5 days.  No problem at all. My ink level is very good, especially black, because I was always ordering the largest capacity I print a lot.

    This problem started today (or I had knowledge about this today) and there is no doubt that something has changed between the time where I printed the last time and now. But it's pretty clear that HP wants me to buy original cartridges. Is it not enough that my laptop is HP, my printer is HP... I should have freedom to choose what ink to buy and where to buy it. It worked a few days ago and I checked the black cartridge, that I get the error message, has at least 50% of ink left in it. Because HP wants me to throw it away, because it's not authentic?

    I'm really upset, because it is not a software, where we have to use the original permits. It's MY printer and I get to choose what cartridges I put in it, and where I buy my cartridges. If there answer like "it is not comapitble, etc.", well, it worked for a long time and printer tell me that there is problem with it. The problem with the cartridge just 'old generation '.

    If HP conitinues to press like that, I'll never buy anything HP again.
