How Can I Get my HP1115 to Print with One Cartridge?

I have an HP Photosmart 1115.
The color cartridge ran out so I tossed it in hopes of getting a new one. Then I saw the prices. I CANNOT CANNOT CANNOT pay $40 freaking bucks for a cartridge. That is ridiculous. I do not, in any way, shape or form have that kind of money. I just need to print resumes, which require only black ink.
How do I get my stupid printer to work? I'm about ready to fling it out the window and just write things down old school with a pen and notebook paper. I can afford that.

PS. If anyone knows where I can find an HP 78 cartridge for around $20 or less that would work too.

The short answer is that you cannot print on the Photosmart 1115 without both a color and black cartridge installed.  You do not need ink in the #78 cartridge, but it does need to pass an electrical check.  You may be able to find expired #78 cartridges on eBay or some similar.  Old cartridges will still work in the printer, althoug depending on how they were stored they may not print one or more colors, usually cyan or yellow fail first.

  • How can i get my computer to print with a wireless HP envy4502 using an ATT sierra hotspot

    I have a HP envy 4502 wireless printer that works find printing from my iphone. I use an ATT Sierra hotspot that is connected via usp to my computer to access the internet form it. My problem is I would like to print from my computer without having to connect the hotspot via usb and connect wireless via the hotspot. How do I connect the printer. Do i need a cable to connect it to computer or do I need a router to connect the computer to the printer wireless. I am confused as to what needs to be done so my hotspot doesnot have to be physically connected to print.

    Hi kragan,
    I understand you would like to print from your computer to your Envy 4502.
    I can help you with this. You should be able to run the wireless wizard on the front screen of the printer and connect it to your Hotspot wirelessly. If you put your computer on the same network, both devices can communicate withe one another. HP Printers are designed to work with 802.11 WiFi networks, thus connecting to the Hotspot may not work.
    This particular model does have the feature called Wireless Direct (WD). HP wireless direct is a new feature that allows your Wi-Fi capable devices (for example: smart phones, tablets, or computers) to make a wireless network connection directly to your printer without using a wireless router or access point. You connect to your printer's HP wireless direct signal the same way you connect your Wi-Fi capable device to a new wireless network or hotspot. - Source
    Please use the instructions in the link I sourced to set the printer up using wireless direct. Simply open the link and click on 'How to connect to HP wireless direct'. 
    Once the WD is enabled, open your network settings on your computer and choose the printer network, it will look like a variation of the printer name.
    If you would like clarification or have any questions I would be happy to help.

  • How can I get my iMac to work with scanners?

    How can I get my iMac to work with scanners? The scanners scan just fine, but not to my iMac. I've tried Epson and HP all-in-ones; it makes no diffference. I'm becoming extremely displeased, but don't know at whom I should be displeased, the printer guys or Apple. Help?

    My Epson is able to do scans using Image Capture without any problems at all.

  • I lost my iPhone device, how can I get my data back on another one without using an iCloud backup just back up on i Tunes, Please Help.

    I lost my iPhone device, how can I get my data back on another one without using an iCloud backup just back up on i Tunes, Please Help.??

    You can find the backup files and then copy them to a safe place if you are worrying about this.
    iTunes places the backup files in these places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your Home folder, hold Option and click the Go menu.
    Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata%, then press Return.
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, then choose Run. In the search bar, type %appdata%, then click OK.

    Will not work.  To my knowledge, dual converting like that isn't supported.  The Mac must detect the connected video output device and that sort of info cannot be done across an analog component uni-directional connection.

    In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account.  The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
    Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.

  • How can I get a single jar file with NetBeans?

    How can I get a single jar file with NetBeans?
    When I create the project I get these files:
    dist/lib/libreria1.jar
    dist/lib/libreria2.jar
    dist/software.jar
    The libraries that have been imported to create the project are in separate folders:
    libreria1/libreria1.jar
    libreria2/libreria2.jar
    libreria1, libreria2, dist folders are all located inside the project folder.
    I added the following code to the build.xml:
    <target name="-post-jar">
    <jar jarfile="dist/software.jar">
    <zipfileset src="${dist.jar}" excludes="META-INF/*" />
    <zipfileset src="dist/lib/libreria1.jar" excludes="META-INF/*" />

    Of course there is also the project folder:

    src/pacco/classeprincipale.java

    Only Apple Account Security could help at this point. You can try calling Apple Support in Canada - you'll have to find one of the several ways, such as Skype, to call an 800 number from outside of the relevant country - and ask for Account Security and see if they can help. Or you can find a friend who speaks Chinese and ask them to help you talk to Apple Support in China. There are really no other options that I know of.
    Note, by the way, that these are user-to-user support forums. You aren't speaking with Apple when you post here.
