Why I can't print black and white if the yellow cartridge is empty but the black is full?

I have a Photosmart C7250 all-in-one and Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, why can't I print in black and white if a color cartridge is empty? The black cartridge is full, it is not the only one to be used? Is there a setting somewhere that I can change just print in black? I tried the black and white option through command prompt on my computer but the printer always gives me an error message saying that I need to replace the yellow before I can print.

The reason that this, your printer is actually not to damage the internal parts.  Mainly the printhead.  It is built in integrated security to help protect your investment.  HP, as other printer manufacturers, offers you with permanent print heads printers requiring ink for all colors, avoid the print heads. HP, like some other manufacturers, also offers printers with user replaceable print heads. These may or may not require ink in all colors in print, even though damage may occur if the print from the cartridge empty. Finally, HP as some other manufacturers also offers printers with the printhead into the ink supply. He is replaced at each change of cartridge. These printers will happily print with a diet low, empty or many deleted completely same models.  I understand that it can be very annoying, but it's a necessary.

  • Sort of printing black and white only when magenta cartridge is empty?

    We have a HP Office Jet Pro 8500 a. computer running Windows Vista.

    The Magenta cartridge is currently empty, and we need to print an urgent document before we will be able to get a new cartridge.

    While trying to print a black and white document only, the following error has occurred:

    Exhausted ink cartridges

    HP 940 Magenta

    The cartridges listed above must be replaced to resume printing.

    HP recommends that you do not remove an ink cartridge until a replacement is ready to install.

    Specified in printing dialog windows that we want only black and white, but it is still received this error message.

    Is it possible to adjust the printer settings to specify explicitly that you want to use black ink?

    Thanks for any help you can give.

    This printer takes individual ink cartridges (IIC), and this ink delivery system requires that all cartridges to be installed for the printer to work. You can set the printer to "Using black ink only", but that must be done before a cartridge is exhausted, that the printer inks for other uses in fairest impression. It also uses the ink for the maintenance of the print heads. Here a link to a document that turns to explain various ways that ink is used in a printer beyond just printing.

    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.

  • Cannot print in black and white when the yellow ink cartridge is low on ink

    Someone please tell me that the guy I talked to customer service is a fool and there is a way to print black and white, once your color cartridge runs out of ink.

    If this isn't the case, it's the cheapest clamp, all the money that I've ever heard of.  Someone please tell me they did sink that low.

    Printers that have individual ink cartridges (separate magenta, yellow and cyan) must have all the colors, mounted so as to ensure that the printhead to dry out and is not damaged. Some printers who have integrated print heads (that just take the 2 black and tricolor cartridges) have the ability to print in what is known as a reserve mode. That is where we remove the empty cartridge and is able to print a test page to determine if the printer can operate in reserve mode until a replacement can be purchased. The reason for the cartridges to install, is that the printer uses ink for other purposes in addition to printing. It is also used to maintain the printer. Here is a link to learn more about this topic. He will also discuss the topic of the reserve mode as well.

  • Why I can't mount images in InDesign from the 'images' as I did with "iPhoto" before?

    Why I can't mount images in InDesign from the 'images' as I did from "iPhoto" before?

    Browser multimedia lla only will show you photos from your photo library, if the library is your system library.  Check in Photos preferences > general, if 'use as a Photo library system' is UO greyedcrossed, as it should be.

    and the application must be fully compatible with El Capitan, or it can only show the iPhoto and Aperture libraries.  You may need to update your copy of inDesign. I don't know, if there is a newer version.

  • Can I print data that I entered the health of Apple app

    Can I print data that I entered the health of Apple app?

    Yes! You will most likely have to screenshot data then hang your iPhone (including the charger) in your USB port in your computer. After that, you load your screen capture on your computer. Copy and paste into Microsoft word on your computer/laptop and then print! Then you have your printed data.

    I know this is a long process, but it works I tried. Please let me a good review!

  • Why we can no longer open a program over the taskbar

    original title: the feature of the taskbar

    Why a very useful feature has been removed?  Auto-hide is very probably the most annoying feature ever;  I prefer to be able to allow windows to open the taskbar and if I need press the Windows keyboard direct, we have been able to do for almost 10 years.

    It's like being able to drag the elements around the area of all programs on the start menu.  You can do it, but they just re - get an alphabetical sort themselves even if you put ' Menu all programs sort by name "OFF - why he lost us this feature and what is the point preferably to be here at all if it's going to sort without worrying?

    ManChicken,

    The change is by design, however, if this is something you want restored, please submit your proposal to Windows 7 comments.

  • Please let me know why I can not download Flashplayer because it runs the scripts on the page... I bought acrobat dc 7/10.  Thank you.

    Please let me know why I can not download Flashplayer because it runs the scripts on the page... I bought acrobat dc 7/10.  Thank you very much. @@

    Hi dmrmultimedias,

    I guess you are referring to the script error using the installer online.  If so, the DPI setting has been identified as the culprit.  If the DPI setting is not set to 100%, 125%, 150% or 200% installer will return the script error.  If your DPI setting is set to something else, please set it to one of these and Setup online should work.  The team is working on a fix for this.

    To check/change the DPI setting:

    1. start the control panel and go to control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Display

    2. in the left menu, select the custom text size (DPI)

    3. in the custom configuration Windows DPI select 100%, 125%, 150% or 200% in the menu drop-down

    4. Select OK

    5. Select apply

    6. open a session/disable

    7. online installer should now run without displaying the script error.

    This is planned which will be fixed within two 2 weeks.
