Product Name - HP Officejet 6500A Plus
Operating System - Windows 7
I do not have an Error Message.  I would like to find out how I can print using Black Ink only.  I have not made any changes in my system.  This is the first time I have attempted to do this and have not found a way.  I could not locate the tool box which I assume would allow me to do this.

  • Setting Default printing as Black only

    I know how to enable printing in black only using printer properties and colour ->greyscale-> in black ink only.But that setting lasts only for that session/ file being printed. If I load another file or another session the default goes back to colour. Even if I make a printing short cut that short cut gets saved but is not the default. I have solved the problem by removing the colour cartridge and the printer prints in black only even if I do not change the setting from "colour". This works but is there any other elegant solution? Regards S S Kini 

    Hi , I see by your post that the black only settings is only working for one session. I would like to help you.
    Did you download and install the HP Deskjet F4200/F4224 All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Driveror are you using the preinstalled Windows drivers? I have provided a document for setting the default printer settings for a single job and for all print jobs. Most likely this is the way you have set the black only.HP Deskjet, Officejet, and Photosmart Printers and All-in-Ones - Changing Print Settings in Windows 8. If the black only isn't holding the setting in the print driver, I would suggest to uninstall and reinstall the print drivers. They might have become corrupted. If you appreciate my efforts, please click the 'Thumbs up' button below. Thank You.

  • How can I print in black/white only a document that has colors in the original?

    How can I print in black/white only a document that has colors in its original. I don't need the print out to be in color, and I don't want to waste the color ink.

    It depends on your printer and the application you are using.
    In some applications you can choose color vs. greyscale/black&white when you do File > Print.   PowerPoint is one example of an application that allows this choice.
    Otherwise, you can usually select greyscale at the time you print the document.  Do File > Print. In the resulting dialog box, there should be an item called Copies & Pages (in Word and other applications) or Preview (in Preview).  Click it.  In the resulting list, you should then see an option called Printer Features.  Click it.  Then you should see an option called Printout Mode.  Usually one of the modes is Greyscale or Black & White.  Select it.  Then Print.
    This can also depend on your printer.  Exactly what make/model printer are you using?   And what kind of document are you trying to print (Word, PPT, JPEG, etc)?

  • How to set default printing in black only

    Greetings,
    I'd like to set my default printing with Firefox at black ink only, which I can do individually prior to printing a page, but it reverts to color after that printing. But if I set the size at, say, 80%, that becomes the default setting, or if I set portrait/landscape for a single printing, that becomes the default setting. Why can't the desired black-ink only setting default like the size/portrait/landscape setting? What I want to do is set the printing permanently at black only, and the size at 100%, but allow one-time printing at landscape or portrait, or sizes less than 100% without those settings becoming the default. How can I do this? Thanks for any help
    Best wishes, Tom
    I've tried the help solutions on the website to no avail....

    Greeting ideato,
    Thanks so much for your reply. I've clicked on the Firefox button at upper left, then Print, then Properties, then Advanced, under which is listed Printer Features (I have only 1 printer), below which is a line with Print in Grayscale, clicking on which has has 3 options: Off (apparently default), High quality Grayscale, and Black Ink Only. I click on the latter, and click on OK for this window and others in the sequence, and it'll print in black only for the present printing, but will revert to color for the next printing, 'though like I said, if I change the size to 80% or from portrait to landscape, those settings will remain. I can't figure it out. Again, thanks for any help.
    Regards, Tom

  • No option to print in black only

    PROBLEM:
    Do not have an option to print with BLACK ink only.
    Background:
    Have a Photosmart D5160 printer.
    Up until a few weeks ago experienced no problems with printer. Then installed non-HP ink carts and experienced some faults. About this same time, the PRINTER PROPERTIES box change to a different, four tab format: ADVANCED, PRINTING SHORTCUTS, FEATURES, and COLOR. The old PROPERTIES box displayed  four printer options:  DRAFT MODE, Black & WHITE, COLOR, and GRAYSCALE.
    I have since installed new HP ink carts, and the problem persists.
    Deinstalled and reinstalled, several times, the printer itself and software from the CD, followed by d/loading updated drivers from HP. All without resolving my problem.
    Two questions:
    1 - How can I restore the old properties option box?
    2 - How can I print with black ink only with the new property box?
    Thank you, in advance, for your response and assistance

    I found it:
    It's now under File, Print, Preferences, Advanced, Print In Greyscale, then drop box Black Ink Only.

  • Can you print in black only?

    I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless, my color ink ran out and I need to print right away, how do I print with black ink only?

    Hi GAW,
    The PIXMA MX922 must have all of the inks installed and contain ink for the unit to able to print.
    If you are experiencing a "Low Ink" warning, you will still be able to scan, but not print.
    If you are getting a "Ink Out" error, you will not be able to use the unit until the ink is replaced.
    These precautions are in place to prevent damage to the printer from occurring if printing with no ink is attempted.  The printer uses the ink to cool the printhead during the printing process.  If no ink is present, the printhead could be damaged.

  • How can I print in black when the colour cartridge is empty

    Hi,
    I have an HP Photosmart 5510 that I use ONLY for simple black on white printing for work.  I have it set to black ink only but today, a wet and cold Sunday night when I really really need the d*mned thing to work because it's month end and I have to send copies of all my worksheets to head office, I get an error message to the effect that it won't allow me to print using the brand spankin' new original HP black cartridge until I buy some totally unwanted colour cartridges to keep it company.
    Am I really being held to ransom like this?  Are Hewlitt Packard so short of cash that their corportate monolith will falter and fall if I don't buy expensive consumables whose only function is to print in colours I have no wish or need to use? 
    Am I really unable to use the black print facility on *MY* printer until I've fed yet more cash into the greedy maw of some US blue chip company?
    If the answer to any of the above is yes then tomorrow evennig after work I shall have to go to the store where I bought my HP printer and very publically tell them were to shove it and why.  I shall seek out a new printer  from ANY MANUFACTURER OTHER THAN HP that allows me to print in black only and I shall make it a mission to spread the word. 
    Of course it's entirely possible that HP have a simple fix that will allow me to use black cartridges only in which case I shall be delighted to continue buying original HP black cartridges on a monthly basis.
    On the other hand I do need a reply urgently because as I say, it's Sunday night and this problem has put me hours behind for work tomorrow as it is.
    Thanks  (I hope).

    Hi,
    Firstly I'd like to say: I'm not working for any computer vendor, both hardware and software. From my understanding, the technology to make those inject printers dictates why we need all inks to print when we only need black.
    1. On some printers which ONLY use 2 ink cartridges (black & tri-color) we can print black only if the tri-color cartridge still has ink at least one color
    2. For many other printers which have individual color ink cartridges we need all of them to print even we only print black only. Printers may stop during the warming up process.
    3. For some printers, we can force them to print black only without ink in one color cartidge but this would more damage than good because this will shorten their lives.
    One thing I've mentioned few times. Vendors (all of them) should allow users to SCAN without inks. But as mentioned above, printers may stop during the warming up process and first of all THEY ARE PRINTERS.
    Regards.
