Accidentally put black cartridge (22) into color cartidge slot in 5610 office jet - cannot remove.

Is there a way to get this stuck cartridge out of the printer besides the usual, "press cartridge down and slide out" method? Is there any other access or release point for the cartridge holders? I cannot print at all while this cartridge is stuck.
Thanks.

You may be able to carefully (and gently) pry the cartridge free using the handle of a spoon or a similar dull object. If your printer is still in warranty you should contact HP for service.

Can I print with black cartridge only if colour cartidges are empty on HP C1600 seeries printer?

Can I print using the black cartridge only whilst the colour cartridges are empty? I have a HP Photosmart C1600 series printer and Vista installed on my PC. I have set the Printer preferences to "Grayscale and use Black Cartridge only" but the printer itself is telling me it wont print unless i replace my empty yellow cartridge. I bought a brand new Black cartridge so i could print using black ink only as i dont need to use colour.

Hi,
Many printers from all vendors will not print with just one empty ink cartidge, it doesn't matter which one. Some printers allow users to print but at slower than snail speed. Whichever way, we have to have ink carridges to be able to print (even scan).
Regards.

I accidentally inserted my SD card into the CD slot! How do I get it out?

The CD slot is so close to the memory card slot, and I usually find them by feel as they are on the far side of the computer. I have to actualy stand up to peer around the side of my screen. While trrying to retrieve the card, I heard something drop, presumably it has droped inside somewhere.
Actually, its a ridiculous place to put the card slot. Why
not in the front where you can see?

Go to youtube.com and search for "remove SD card iMac" and you will find many solutions.

6600 Won't print in black without full complement of color cartidges

Just experiencing this inability to print balck or greyscale without all the color cartridges, which I don't use. This is one of the sleaziest practices I have encountered in the industry. Both the software and the manual contain outright lies. Instead of fooling around with these apparently useless and deceptive responses from HP, as a recently retired attorney with a lot of time on my hands I'll pursue my own solution - I'm filing a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission for unfair trade practice.

Page 72 of the Officejet 6600 user manual says the following: Printing with black or color ink only
For regular usage, this product is not designed to print using only the black cartridge when the color cartridges are out of ink. However, your printer is designed to let you print as long as possible when your cartridges start to run out of ink.
When there is sufficient ink in the printhead, the printer will offer you the use of black
ink only when one or more of the color cartridges are out of ink, and the use of color ink
only when the black cartridge is out of ink.
• The amount that you can print using black or color ink only is limited, so have replacement ink cartridges available when you are printing with black or color ink only.
• When there is no longer sufficient ink to print, you will get a message that one or more cartridges are depleted, and you will need to replace the depleted cartridges before you resume printing. -------- HP and other printer manufacturers have different printer technologies for different needs. For inkjet printers: Some have printheads built into the ink cartridges. These printers can typically print with one or more of the colors completely empty, or even with color or black (but not both) cartridges removed. The Deskjet 6980 series is an example, or for an all-in-one see the Officejet 8040a.Other printers have separate ink supplies and replaceable printheads. An example would be the Officejet 7110 printer. The printhead in these printers can be replaced if they are damaged by running the printhead with colors out. Some of these printers will allow printing with a color out, other will not. If the printer is run without ink in one or more colors the printer may be damaged, but the user may be able to recover without having to send the printer for service.Other printers have permanent printheads. To run these without some ink in all the colors would risk causing damage to the printhead due to clogs, air ingested in the printhead or burned out printhead firing resistors. The Officejet 6600 is an example of this type of printer. For printers with fixed printheads this could require service to get the printer to print properly again when the ink is finally replaced. The document here describes how ink is used. While the document is written for HP Inkjet printers the same principles apply to inkjet printers from other manufacturers. If you never print in color a laser printer would likely be a better choice. If you occasionally print color but mostly black an IPH printer like those in the first category above may be a good choice.

My 4355 officjet will not recognise a new black cartridge when inserted

Hey , Thanks for getting back to me regarding this issue. Because the troubleshooting steps provided failed to resolve this black cartridge detection issue, a new black cartridge will need to be inserted in your product to verify if the cartridge you're currently using is defective or not. If a new black cartridge resolves your issue, then the current cartridge is defective. If the current cartridge is a Genuine HP Cartridge it will have a warranty date on it and will be entitled as per the cartridge warranty to a replacement through HP. If a new cartridge fails to resolve this issue then the printer will need to be replaced. Please respond to this post with the result of trying a new cartridge in the printer. Best of luck!

Hey , Welcome to the HP Support Forums!I understand that your HP Officejet 4355 All-in-One Printer is prompting for the right cartridge to be installed, after you inserted new cartridges in your machine. I would like to assist you today with resolving this cartridge detection error. Thank you for including the troubleshooting steps that you have attempted prior to reaching out for support. At this time there is either a dirty cartridge contact in your machine that may be blocking your printer from detecting the new cartridge as installed. There is also a chance that the new cartridge is defective. Therefore, I am going to have you perform some standard cartridge troubleshooting steps below to isolate this issue and resolve this issue. Step 1: Remove Cartridges: NOTE: If the product is off when you open the print cartridge door to access the print cartridges, the product will not release the cartridges for changing. You might damage the product if the print cartridges are not docked safely on the right side when you try to remove them. 1. Make sure the product is turned on. The On button is lit when the product is on. 2. Open the print cartridge door. The print carriage moves to the far right side of the product. 3. Wait until the print carriage is idle and silent, and then lightly press down on the right print cartridge to release it. Please remove just the right (Black) cartridge. (1) Print cartridge slot for the tri-color print cartridge(2) Print cartridge slot for the black and photo print cartridges 4. Pull the print cartridge towards you out of its slot. - Source Step 2: Check for Packaging on Cartridge: With the cartridge removed from the printer, we are now going to check the right (Black) cartridge for any remaining packaging that may be causing cartridge detection issues. Make sure that the plastic tape is removed from the cartridge by using the pink pull tab. (1) Copper-colored contacts(2) Plastic tape with pink pull tab (must be removed before installing)(3) Ink nozzles under tape NOTE: Do not touch the copper-colored contacts or ink nozzles. Touching these parts can result in clogs, ink failure, and bad electrical connections. Once the packaging has been confirmed as removed from the new cartridge, please proceed to the next step. - Source Step 3: Clean the Cartridge Contacts: Gather the Following Materials: Dry foam rubber swabs, lint-free cloth, or any soft material that will not come apart or leave fibers. Tip: Coffee filters are lint-free and work well for cleaning print cartridges. Distilled, filtered, or bottled water (tap water might contain contaminants that can damage the print cartridges). Caution: Do not use platen cleaners or alcohol to clean the print cartridge contacts. These can damage the print cartridge or the HP All-in-One. Perform the Clean: 1. Inspect the print cartridge contacts for ink and debris buildup. 2. Dip a clean foam rubber swab or lint-free cloth into distilled water, and squeeze any excess water from it. 3. Hold the print cartridge by its sides. 4. Clean only the copper-colored contacts. Allow the print cartridges to dry for approximately ten minutes. 5. Leave the cartridge outside of the printer. 6. With the printer ON, disconnect the power cable from the rear of the printer 7. Examine the right cartridge slot inside of the printer. If you see debris or ink buildup please clean the cartridge slot. Allow the right slot to dry. 8. Plug the power cable back in. Your printer should start back up on its own. Once the cartridge and slot have been cleaned, please proceed to the next step. - Source Step 4: Install Cartridge: 1. Slide the print cartridge forward into the empty slot. Then gently push on the upper part of the print cartridge forward until it clicks into the socket. 2. Close the print cartridge door. Once your cartridge has been installed, please test printing to confirm that the cartridge detection issue has been resolved. Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. I look forward to hearing from you. Good luck!

Can I put a mini DVD into my Mac?

I am trying to transfer my home movies onto my Mac from mini dvds.is it ok to put these mini dvds into the Mac slot??

Do not do that!!!!!!!!!! The user's manual expressly warns you not to insert anything but standard sized CDs and DVDs. Mini discs will get stuck and not eject.

Someone not me put a flash drive in the dvd slot any ideas on how to get it out?

Someone not me of course put a fash card into the dvd slot. its in the computer how could i get it out?

Can also use a slim set of tweezers to try to pull it out. Just be careful, so you don't damage the drive any. Hopefully, it's not already damaged by the flash card being put in.

Officejet Pro 8000 A809 - can I print just black and have empty color cartridge?

I saw in a previous post entitled "PSC 1410 - can I print just black and have empty color cartridge"
that the printer does color underprinting even when printing black and white, to prevent bleeding.
My question is, is this also true when selecting the grayscale printing option in the printer properties dialog box?
I installed the printer using an ethernet connection to a Dell Inspiron 8200 laptop computer running Windows XP Professional

Yes you will still need the color cartridge. The printer uses what is called under printing, it still uses some of the color cartridge's ink in this process, even when printing in just black, the reason is to stop the black from "bleeding"

HP 6500A Plus will not print black only if any color cartridges are low. It used to. Why not now?

HP 6500A Plus will not print black only if any color cartridges are low. It used to. Why not now? It will print in color if the black is low but not if any color is low. This is very annoying. Printer is using HP cartridges too.

Get used to this with HP printers - its a new feature they have introduced to keep running costs lows - works well. Had two HP printers same happened with both of these. Suggest a different brand - they might not have this special feature

Black ink won't print in my 410C all-in-one. cartridges, will print colors

My 410C printer said my color cartridges were low. I replaced with new ones (I use 564XL) & now my printer will not prink or copy anything written in black. I even replaced both black & photo black cartridges thinking that was the problem. I have cleand the print heads & printed test pages. printed color inks only.

The troubleshooting steps in the document here may help resolve black not printing on your Photosmart c410 printer. If the steps there do not resolve the issue the post here may help.
