6700 printer ink

Hey dere  -  I had a all in one #7210. What a fine device. I liked it so much when it was time for anew desk top I bought a HP Pavillian at Best Buy.  Don't you know that my all in one was not compatable with the new operating system. I got with HP rep in India and was told no help for you except to buy a new printer, and ther was one on sale at that time. I bought a 6700 from HP and even though it was not half the machine I still could print stuff.
Now to the ink problem. If the device is out of color ink it will not print in black. I got a prompt that the M ink was depleted, off I go to the office depot bring home a 933 M and the prompt says the Y ink is depleted, I replace the 933Y and the prompt says the C ink is depleted. First of all how could this ink all run out at once? Why didn't I get a prompt to replace all the color ink at once? I am really angry at HP for the loss of use of my all in one and because HP has built in a feature that prevents me from using my printer even though there is plenty of black ink.
1) Is there a way around this pain in the butt that is built into the 6700?
2) How about going back to the 7210 is there a way to make it work?
At this point I would get some satisfaction by using a sledge hammer on this device untill it was in pieces so tiny that I could sweep them off the side walk with a broom.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello there! Welcome to the forums @MJZEE 
I was reading through your post about your Officejet 6700 that will not print in black when any of the color cartridges are depleted, which is correct, and I wanted to write you back in response.
Please understand that I do appreciate your frustration, I really do. However, this particular printer uses some color inks even when printing in black only. If you did run out of color and kept printing black only, you will cause problems with the printhead. As for the timing of the depleted cartridges, I honestly do not have a precise answer to that as they could deplete at any time when they exhaust the ink.
Here is also the user guide to your printer, see page 73/74 for more information:
User Manual Officejet 6700
This is some more information about Ink Usage in Inkjet Printers
Also, if your Officejet 7210 is still in good working order, you could let me know which operating system you are running and I could double check the specifications to see if there are any options left for you to use it on your current computer.
Thank you for posting in the community, have a great Thursday

  • Why is officejet 6700 black ink more expensive than the other colors

    why is hp officejet 6700 black ink almost twice as expensive as the other colors?

    The black cartridge is larger and has more than twice the ink of the standard color cartridges.
    If you do much printing you might want to consider the XL version of the cartrdiges.  The 932XL is rated at 1000 pages for $32 compared to the standard black cartridge rated at 400 pages for $20.

  • Unable to print PDF file in HP deskjet printer ink advantage 1515

    Hi , currently i have difficulty in using my printer(HP deskjet  printer ink advantage 1515 ) to print PDF file, but Microsof word and powerpoint is ok,, so , any idea?

    You are welcome!
    I have a few more suggestions for you to try that might help. You can try printing your PDF file by using another program, or you can try running the Print and Scan Doctor. This diagnostic tool will check for any conflicts that could be causing the issue. The tool will show you a report at the end. If there was a problem that the tool could not fix, you will notice it in the results.If there was no issues detected, you can also try Uninstalling the Printer Software from the Control Panel, restarting your PC and reinstall the full driver here: HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 1515 All-in-One Printer 
    If the PDF's not printing was due to an issue with the printer software, the issue would be resolved by uninstalling and reinstalling the printer. If the problem continues, try posting this issue in the Adobe Forums for further assistance.
    Have a great day

  • Unable to check HP printer ink levels via Supply Levels

    I've got an HP Photosmart 8450 printer, and so far no printing problems with 10.5.1. However, I can't check ink levels in the printer via the "Supply Levels" window, and I can't find another way to see this information. I'm using the printer driver supplied with 10.5.1.
    This information was available under 10.4.11 - is there a way to obtain printer ink levels in 10.5.1?

    I loaded mine from the 10.5.1 disk, but it's a separate operation from the main install. There's an optional install folder on the 10.5.1 disk with the info.
    Load the system disk for your iMac and look at it in the Finder to see if there's a similar optional install folder. Then, there's always the HP website if you can find the driver there . . .
    Regarding how you've got the 8450 printer set up, why not put the printer directly on the (ethernet?) hub rather than hanging it off the Vista laptop? There's an Ethernet port on that printer, and that's one of the reasons I picked that model. Your iMac probably can't see the printer the way you've configured things. Bonjour will be able to find the printer and get you hooked up with the printer directly on the hub.

  • Epson 960 works well but can't access printer ink utility

    I set up an Airport Express wireless network last night and hooked up my Epson 960. It works well but I can't access the printer ink utility. The printer is missing from the utility listing so I can't clean the heads or check ink levels.
    Any suggestions or experiences that may help?
    Thanks!

    Thanks, that was what I was having to do.
    It is kind of misleading to claim wireless printing capability only to have one way communication. Hopefully Apple will "fix" this issue in the future.
    Makes it very inconvenient when printing photos or DVDs as I always do a nozzle check first to make sure nothing is clogged and keep from wasting a good (and expensive) sheet of photo paper or a burned DVD.

    Hi there @HpNepal , welcome to the forums
    I understand your printer is not detected over your wireless network from your computer. Although you mentioned you have done some troubleshooting, I would also suggest trying the steps from the guide I have found and posted for you below. The printer should be found if all steps are completed in order. Good luck!

  • HP 6700 printer will not enable web services.

    My HP 6700 printer will not enable web services. I've already downloaded the firmware update, manually entered the IP and DNS numbers... shutdown the printer and turned it back on.But when i try to enable web services it try's for a while then says web services could not be enabled.. any help would be appreciated.  I have vista.

    Hi there, two other things you could try (if not already attempted) are:
    Check to ensure that you have the latest firmware for your router – review your router documentation/help (or the router manufacturer’s web site) for information on how to check for and install firmware updates. 
    Restore factory defaults - The factory default option is usually found in the Setup>Tools menu on your printer.   Do the following on your device:
    Remove/Disable Web Services 
    Restore factory defaults/settings (depending on the printer this is found under the Setup>Tools menu, or the Setup>Web Services menus, but varies by printer) 
    If prompted, re-do initial setup of your device and add it to your network
    Re-enable Web Services 
    Once the Web Services information sheet is printed, use the printer claiming code to add your printer to your account on ePrintCenter

  • [solved] printer ink level - inkblot/ink problem

    hi to all
    i want to my printer ink level
    because cups isn't able to show me (at least for my printer), i need "external" tools.
    i've found an interesting program and related libraries: inkblot is the gui which is based on other program and lib; inkblot is in AUR so we can easily install it.
    the problem is that inkblot or ink can't find my printer !!!
    how can i fix it ?
    thanks
    Last edited by nTia89 (2011-08-08 11:54:06)

    The problem is that cups doesn't use usblp anymore, actually in many cases you have to blaklist usblp to get your printer work. However ink package relies on usblp, so you have to install cups-usblp from AUR instead of cups from [extra].

  • Hp 6700 printer has one of two hinges disconnect​ed - how reinsert?

    My 6700 printer ADF hinge to rest of printer has come away from its insertion slot on the right side when seen from front of printer.  As a result the adf is aligned a few degrees from its intended parallel with the scanning window.  I also worry about the left side breaking off due to its having to bear all the load when opening and closing the adf top since the right hand side is not inserted to take its share of the load.  How can I reinsert the right hand hinge - pressing lightly to accomplish this does not work and I don't want to press too hard and break the small plastic pieces.  There should be a disassembly process that would allow me to remove some part(s) of the main printer to permit gentle reinsertion of the out of position hinge.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

    Hey @Bill_Smith,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that you would like assistance with reattaching the ADF hinge on the right hand side that came out of its slot on your HP Officejet 6700 Premium e-All-in-One Printer. Unfortunately, I did take a look at the Officejet 6700 I have here and there is no simple way to do this. However, I have a few suggestions for you.
    If your printer is Out of Warranty: You can try to force the ADF hinge back into place.
    If your printer is In Warranty: Call our Technical Support queue by phone for hardware replacement.
    The Automatic Document Feeder is not a replaceable part on this model of printer. Should any hinge, cover, or roller be defective for your ADF Assembly than that would result in a whole unit replacement.
    HP Technical Support can be reached at: 800-474-6836.

  • Printer ink drying up. Officejet 4500 wireless

    I have a Officejet 4500 Wireless printer.  I am a snowbird and vacation in Arizona.  Upon my return the printer ink has dried up.  Is there a solution to this problem?  Is there a different printer that does not let the ink dry up?

    Hi @HarveyAZ
    The good thing about the ink system in your Officejet 4500, is that the printhead is intergrated into the cartridge. You do not have to worry about both a printhead and the cartridge.
    I can't say there is a printer that does not let the ink dry up, but here is some helpful information;

  • HP 8750, where did my printer ink settings go?

    When I used to print in photoshop I had the option to specify paper type (satin, gloss, etc), installed ink cartridges, etc. Now I have no such options. I can print but I don't think I am getting the full color gaumet of my choice of installed carts. I tried to re-install with the HP drivers but the install hangs. I also tried to delete and add back the printer in Leopard but still I have no such settings. Has anyone been able to work through this?

  • I have a new printer and can't get it to print. ink installed properly. any ideas?

    Please help me. I have a new printer set up today and it doesn't print. It is wireless and drivers installed correctly as is the inks x 2. It says printing alignment page but nothing comes out. Any suggestions for me? Thanks kindly,
    Sue

    Try to perform a HARD RESET on the printer first. Unplug the power cord from the printer, and leave it out for 30 seconds. Plug it back in, see if it aligns and finishes the job.
    After alignment, try to print a test page from the printer or make a copy. This job is to make sure that the HARDWARE of the printer is working correctly.
