• OfficeJet 6600/6700: Black ink only

  I want to print only in black and not buy color cartridges?  Can I substitute for this system?  My color cartridges are out of ink.

  No, you can't, as necessary to allow the print head to exploit any color.

• use of ink on an ip8720 of adjustment

  I use the ip8720 with the latest version of Mac OSX Mavericks. Is it possible to adjust the level of use of ink when printing photos?

  I just PrintFab.com. They have drivers reduce / control the use of ink, even with photos.

• OfficeJet 6500 has more: printer will not use BLACK ink to print in BLACK. Mix of colors rather than use BLACK.

  Printer prints BLACK ink BLACK, instead he mixes the colours to make BLACK.  It creates copies in BLACK only, without mixing colors to achieve the BLACK, but when I ask it to print something it automatically uses the ink color.

  In properties, advanced, I checked the box to print in BLACK only, but did not help.

  In the printing preferences, shortcuts, where it says printing in grayscale, do you feel black ink only as a default?

  I don't know if it will work, I do not use this parameter or the Advanced setting, I have been using high-quality grayscale, but I'm interested to know why, also, when I print 99.9% of the time with color, what I need to change the color ink cartridges so frequently.  You say the color of those who are used to make black.  That makes no sense to me either why the printer would do that, except high-quality grayscale means he uses color inks vs only Black Ink is not.

  Test printed with two parameters, and that is exactly the same, so I won't set my default preferences for levels of gray-black ink only printing and see what happens.

  What how can you tell whether or not the printer is mix colors?  (by the way, if you use unusually fast color ink)

• Portable printer HP Officejet 6600: need of digitization program

  I bought my printer HP Officejet 6600 in January 2013.  I've installed all the programs on my old computer (Windows Vista). With the installation, I was able to print electronically, and there is a stock of Scanner program that allowed me to scan a Document or Photo to my computer. I recently bought a new computer (window 10).  I tried to use my HP disc to download these printer programs but was unable to do that because I got a message that the disc did not support Windows 10.  Can you help guide to get the programs of HP that I could access and download to my new computer which would give me the possibility to print electronic and scanned documents and photos (not via the USB port)?

• HP OfficeJet 8600: Print using black ink only

  We use our printer as a copier only.  It is not connected to a computer.  Why do the color cartridges run out of ink and we cannot print black print.  We print any documents using color.  Is it possible to turn on the black only?

  Sorry, but the HP Officejet Pro 8600 has separated from the inks and printheads and requires that all inks are available to avoid damage to the print head.

  You can minimize the ink used with the following steps:

  • Use draft mode when the quality is sufficient.  Draft mode uses about half the ink or Normal or best mode.
  • Power switch of the printer only allows to turn off the printer.  If an external switch (as a protector or output impulse) is used more ink will be used at startup.

  HP and other printer manufacturers have technology another printer for different needs.  For ink jet printers:

  • Some have integrated into the ink cartridges print heads.  These printers can print generally with one or more of the colors completely empty, or even with color or black cartridges (but not both) removed. The Officejet 8040 has us an example.
  • Other printers have separate replaceable printheads and inks.  An example would be the printer Officejet 8600.  In these printers print head can be replaced if they are damaged by running the printhead with colors off.  Some of these printers allow printing with a color, the other will not.  If the printer is run without ink in one or several colours, the printer may be damaged, but the user may be able to recover without having to send to the printer for the service.
  • Other printers have permanent print heads.  To run only those without little ink in all colours would risk causing damage to the print head because of clogs, air ingested in the printhead or grilled printhead resistances of shooting. The Officejet 6700 is an example of this type of printer. For printers with fixed print heads that could require the service to get the printer to print properly again when the ink is finally replaced.

  The document described here how the ink is used.  The document is written for inkjet printers HP the same principles apply to printers inkjet from other manufacturers.

  If you do ever print color laser printer would probably be a better choice.  If you occasionally print color but especially black a HPI printer as those in the first category above can be a good choice.

• OfficeJet 6600 / Officejet 650: roblem recognition new printer when printing to adobe files

  Having a problem with my Officejet 6600 when I try to print a file "adobe". The problem is that the onl print window shows my previous printer that was n Officejet 6500 E709n. I NC does not change this in the print window. I have removed all traces of the Officejet 6500 E709n of my system and have reinstalled the current printer from the disk.

  Any ideas? Need help.

  Hi @TallPaul1,

  Since you seem to be able to print from other programs, I think that the question has something to do with Adobe. Maybe you will find the following article, I found the site useful adobe: PDF print troubleshoot | Acrobat, Reader.

  If the problem persists, it may be preferable for you to reach the Adobe community.

  Good luck! If there is anything else I can hep you let me know. Please go on the HP Forums!

• OfficeJet 6600: iPad suddenly can not find wireless HP printer.

  iPad, suddenly cannot find a working HP officejet wireless printer!  He worked recently.

  Hey @dburbage,

  Welcome to the Forum from HP Support.  I understand that you are unable to print from the iPad using your HP Officejet 6600 e-all-in-one printer.  I want to help you with this and can have steps that you need to restore this functionality.  What you describe, it seems that you use AirPrint.  I will answer my advice for this type of installation, but if you use ePrint, please let me know and I'll give the information you need.

  You have confirmed that your printer is connected to your wireless network?  Button on the front panel of the printer the wireless icon and make sure that it is connected and displays an IP address.  If this isn't the case, run the Wireless Setup Wizard to restore connectivity.  If you are connected, powercycle your equipment as explained below:

  1. Unplug your modem/router
  2. Turn off your printer and your iPad
  3. Wait 60 seconds
  4. Plug in your modem/router back in and wait that he reconnect to internet
  5. Turn on your printer and once it starts up as normal, confirm that it is still connected to your wireless network
  6. Turn on your iPad

  After completing these steps, you are able to connect your printer with the iPad?  Please let me know the result of your troubleshooting by responding to this post.

  Have a great day!

• OfficeJet 6600: Failure of printer, no error code

  Down printer, no code error.  Tried troubleshooting tips; Reset no has not worked and cleaning of copper on the ink cartridges, not working anymore.   Printer 3 years so out of warranty.   This printer is in a holiday home and I remove the cartridges in the winter.  Is this a problem?  Is there anything else to try, or do I need a new printer?  Tried to submit the form to contact HP 3 times for nothing helped... the site could use improvement.

  Remove the cartridges to store the printer for the winter is a major problem - which cause the printhead not replaceable to dry out, leaving probably clogged ink residues.  In the future if you have a printer with separate ink supply and print (like the Officejet 6600) heads the cartrdiges never be removed from the printer for more than thirty minutes at a time, and the printer should never be put off with the cartridges removed.

  The following may help recover the printhead (maybe 10% chance).  Turn on the printer, remove the cartrdiges impression and drip hot water on the screens on the print head which would connect the ink cartridges.  I put about 3 to 5 drops in each screen.  Let it sit for a few minutes, then replace the ink cartridges.  Run three cleaning cycles in quick succession the façade or the Toolbox.  Is there an ink at all on the page?  If yes let the printer sit overnight, then repeat the process.

  OfficeJet 6600. Works as a printer, but not able to start the scanner.

  I am facing a strange behaviour of my camera. I tried to find similar problems on the forum, but did not succeed.

  I started it 2 days (near my 5610 old which seems to have problems of aging). I use a Sony VAIO PC, OS Win7-Pro, updated.

  Running the appliance following the instructions of the poster. Presents the installation CD. Wireless net was successful and the screen of the device is to give the corresponding IP address.

  But this IP has realized the configuration SW is not recognized. I tried thousands of times, switching and on different devices (router, printer and pc) in the order required, uninstall and reinstall the device.

  However, despite the property intellectual not recognized the device functioning as a "printer".

  But I need to use it as a scanner.

  Procedure by selecting the "scan to PC" screen of the device (only available as an option) I get the message "to ensure that the feature is turned on" and I am prompted to 'open the printer HP SW,... '. ».

  Go to Windows and by clicking on "HP SCAN" in the HP/HP Officejet 6600 directory I get the a warning window stating "HP Officejet unidentified 6600.

• HP Officejet 6600 print wireless help

  Attempt to try to solve my HP Officejet 6600 to print wirelessly on my network and I tried just about everything I could think of (including the rattling of my printer on the network to see if they are on the same network, they are) and my printer still does not recognize any signal from my computer trying to get a print of my computer job. I have already confirmed that my printer working via a USB cable, but I wish I could put my printer to another room, connected to a power source and be able to print to it outside of my network, but not luck so far. Can someone help with this problem?

  My OS is Windows 7 Edition Home Premium SP1, if this is useful.

  Review of my last post...

  Wow, regardless of the Printer Spooler service has been, which seems to have done the trick. Also went and made a new WiFi printer (when the USB cable is installed), and it was labeled differently. Somewhere in one of the configuration menus had something on this subject (assuming it's a hostname?) It said HPB96E1W (HP Officejet 6600). It was also the name of the printer that appeared when I installed it as wireless under printers and faxes. When I did as just a USB connected printer, it appears just as "HP Officejet 6600". Maybe a problem of labelling or something to do with the Printer Spooler service? No idea honestly but the printer works now move it to another part of the House as long as it captures my wireless signal. This problem is completely resolved, and I have also 2 different connections to work with incase I ever spend my printer back near my computer. Thanks to all who have posted in this thread with ideas help, much appreciated. Moderators or anyone who may lock this thread if they wish. I'll post another thread one day if I have problems with the printer again.

• Why my printer won't use his black ink cartridge

  I recently bought a printer officejet 7500 a large format. We use it at home with a computer wireless windows laptop and my mac running OS X 10.6.8

  No matter what I put in the black and white print settings, etc., he will not use his black ink cartridge. It uses color for all printing cartridges no matter what it is. It becomes very expensive and annoying. Since the purchase of the printer, I bought a black cartridge HP new from PC world real.  Since the purchase of this, he has never used since.

  What we're doing wrong?

  Thank you.

  If the device does not black ink print, it may be a couple different things, the cause.  Have you tried to run the print head alignment feature in the configuration menu of the printer?

  If the unit is not aligned correctly, while she can have colors (including black in this) lack of printed documents.  Check out the steps described in the document, found here, to solve a problem of printing such as this one.

  Let me know how it goes.
