• 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 Photosmart C309a does not print after I installed new black ink cartridge.

  Printer was working fine until I replaced the black ink cartridge.
  Does not print the text in black on the printer test page.
  The States new HP printer installed cartridge.
  All other colors are working well and were replaced at the same time.
  Tried cleaning cartridges - pulling the cartridge and put back in - turning the printer off and on again.
  Also tried to restart the computer.
  Could there be a problem with the ink cartridge itself?

  REAL SOLUTION. I had the same experience, spent hours pulling my hair like children had project do to school and it was 22:00.  Your cart is clogged! Here IS THE SOLUTION! (: 1) remove all ink cartridges. (2) extract the carriage that circulate in the ink cartridges by lever on the right and the trolley lifting vertically. (3) wipe any accumulation of visible ink on the outside with clean cloth or paper towel. (4) THIS IS THE KEY: keep transport under hot running water to empty all the handwritten entries in the irrigation channels that distribute ink. Keep rinsing in clear water i.e. no sign of ink. (5) trolley dry with clean cloth and blowing in areas, you can access in order to remove the remains of the water. (6) let transport air-dry overnight. (7) Re-install transport, then reinstall the ink cartridges. 8) ENJOY YOUR PRINTER. (9) I saw many entries on this topic dating back two years, without real solution offered. I am an automotive engineer in unemployment. If HP (or anyone else) would like to hire a smart worker, engineer in the Detroit area, please inform. Thank you!

• DeskJet 932C, you can print with just replace the black ink cartridge?

  My question is basically simple.  The printer DeskJet 932C can operate with only black ink?  Color ink was empty for a while now, but the printer kept working, printing in black and white.  Due to the cost of the ink and the absence of any income available, we just changed the black ink cartridge.  The problem now is that the printer will not print not even black and white.  Do I have to scrape some funds to replace the color ink cartridge, or y at - it another way to get the printer working with just the new black cartridge?

  Thank you in advance!

  Hello

  Your printer can print in black only, but up to a certain point , you need tri-cartouche color otherwise it will not print. It's a little late now, otherwise if you only need to print B & W, a monochrome laser printer is very good and much cheaper to run (in terms of cost per page).

  Kind regards.

• DeskJet 5550 does not print after I installed new black ink cartridge.

  I recently got a new Dell with Windows Vista 64 - bit OS.  Printer was working fine until I replaced the black ink cartridge.  Print the control page as usual after you install the cartridge, it will not print anything else now.  Not even a test page.  I tried taking the cartridge out and put it back in.  Tried to pull the plug on the back of the printer and plug it back.  Tried turning the printer off and on again.  Also tried to restart the computer.  I downloaded the HP Print Diagnostic report and could not find any problems.  Could there be a problem with the ink cartridge itself?

  Well first of all, I went and bought a different black ink cartridge to remove the cartridge in the problem.  This was not it.  Then I unplugged the printer and cleaned thoroughly and connected plug.  Still did not work.  Then I went into the properties on my printer and started to play with the settings.  FINALLY I FIXED IT!  I clicked on the tab advanced and then click Print Processor.  I then changed to WinPrint and retried the Test Page printing under the general tab and it worked!  Woo Hoo!

• Printing on Photo paper with black ink cartridge - J6480 - grayscale does not work

  With:, Mac OS 10.6.6 more latest software HP Print/Scan/utilities:

  The color radio button to use the black cartridge is grayed out if you choose to print in grayscale. If the color cartridge is empty, you cannot print in grayscale on photo paper. It allows you to print in grayscale on plain paper.

  In other words, that it is making me use the color cartridge for printing in grayscale on photo paper. It doesn't look good for me.

  Well Yes, that's right.  The ink in the black cartridge is an ink pigment (about particles of carbon suspended in the solution) and cannot be absorbed by the photo paper.  The ink in the color cartridge is dye based (like dye food) and is absorbed by the coating on photo paper.  That is why all the printing with black cartridge is denied when using photo paper.

  Pigmented ink is used in the black cartridge to produce the beautiful crisp text on plain paper.  There are HP printers with cartridges 'Photo Black' which are ink to dye black which can be used on photo paper.  These printers also have a black text in another cartridge which is a pigmented ink.

• HP 6000 printer, model E609a: turns off black ink cartridge

  I had the problem of black ink for years, but I found a work around.  I am convinced has instuctions of software in the computer that tells the black to print or not print, depending on the color settings. I chased the ghost of evacuation problem.  What made me feel again was when I got something black, recorded in the memory of the computer, analyze and print. It prints the black substance, too.  He continuied to print black text for months. Even if a change of the cartridge.  After a while suddenly stopped printing black.  I printed a few emial or advertising, and he leaves black printing.  After a few days of frustration, I scanned an article, saved and printed. The black stuff printed and was thereafter. Now, he left black pringing again. What I want to know about HP, exactly how I have, through the software, indicate to the printer to print in black? Hmmmm?

  You tell me that and you won't have 47 pages of complaints and more!

• Photosmart HP 5510 fails to print with the nine 364XL black ink cartridge

  The black cartridge HP 364 "SETUP" origin has worked well and I bought a black cartridge HP364XL via the HP Web site.

  I installed the HP364XL this morning, but he is unable to leave the necessary ink on the pages.

  The cartridge seems to be OK and there is no error message.  The paper passes through the usual way, but fate with no print on it.  The date on the box is September 2014, this is not out of date.

  I tried to find what the problem is.  I checked the cartridge is correctly installed and it seems to have ink inside.   I tried to print using the black cartridge again and again with different parameters, such as 'Fast draft' and 'Normal', but every time the paper emerges with no impression.  The 'supply levels' shows the black cartridge about 90% full.

  This is normally caused by the vent on the top of the cartridge being blocked, or a dirty print head. The document below will help you work out the problem. Let me know what happens.

  Black ink is missing on printouts

• Photosmart 7510 - black ink cartridge does not print

  Recently, I replaced the ink cartridges on my Photosmart 7510 C311A. These are all the "genuine HP cartridges ', full.

  Black ink (with the symbol of the Pentagon) does not print, not at all. I ran through the standard troubleshooting steps:

  Cleaning of printheads

  Cleaning of copper contacts

  * Check for a good evacuation

  My colleague in the corridor as the printer even so I borrowed his black ink cartridge and tried: same problem. The printer does not record that there is a problem, but when I run printing tests, where there should be a black ink, there is absolutely none. All other colors print correctly.

  The printer doesn't lack NOT of the printer "align" test however does not offer a suggestion of what to do from there. I've not seen - in test reports - an indiciation of the misalignment.
  
  Suggestions on what to do now?

  I had the same problem. I had replaced the empty cartridge black and suddenly, no ink. Finally, what has worked is
  (1) I removed all the cartridges and cleaned the copper connectors with wet Publix.
  (2) I got a wet paper towel and he pressed repeatedly on the silver circular vent that would be under the black cartridge. I did until no black came. Let it dry.
  (3) I replaced all the cartridges and on the printer. I went to tools/clean the cartridge. I did it a couple of times and he finally printed black ink! I confirmed by going to tools/align, and align the cartridges successfully. He had kept before crashes when the black ink did not work.

• HP Deskjet 1000 J110: Intense black print with the black ink cartridge only

  Hello

  I am trying to print the darkest possible black, but simply by using the black ink cartridge. How do I get there?

  My printer is HP deskjet 1000 J110 using cartridge HP 301.

  I do my drawing in Adobe Illustrator and set the color to be CMYK 100 100 100 100.

  If I insert only the black cartridge, the printer will leave empty place where color CMY ink should be or it will fill the space with black ink?

  Basically, what I'm trying to do is to increase the density of ink to the highest possible but only using only the black cartridge.

  Thank you.

  Welcome @didididot,

  Thanks to their participation in Forums of HP! I see by your post that you would like to be able to print in the black as dark as possible. I can help you.

  You can use the mode single-cartridge:

  Use single-cartridge in the HP printer with a single cartridge. Mode single-cartridge begins when an ink cartridge is removed from the distribution of the print cartridge. In the mode single-cartridge, the product can only printing from the computer.

• 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 Deskjet F4480: Can I use just black ink in my printer HP Deskjet F4480?

  I have a HP Deskjet F4480 printer.  I only use it to print in black ink.  Is it possible to use only black ink in the printer (which is much cheaper)?  Thanks for any help you can provide.

  Grayscale is more useful for printers that have four or more cartridges. You can find on the feature by clicking on this link, but I'm not positive how useful it will be for you.

  Insert a black cartridge in the color slot will not have to act as a backup cartridge. The printer will see that it is not a color cartridge and refuses to read or use it.

  Please let me know if that solves your problems.

• How to use only black ink on the Canon print app?

  I wonder if you can use only black ink with the soft print Canon. I have a Pixma MX420 and we do not buy ink color so if I print a document from the application, all in colour will not be displayed. I'd rather he appear in black and then not at all.
