Black inkchange unrecognized by printer

On a four ink printer, I replaced all four inks but the black one isn't recognized by the printer. I repeated the installation but I got the same issue; My printer model is HP Photosmart 5514

Is it that the black won't print or is it giving an error message? Is the printer in warranty?

C6150 - how to make it a black and white only printer

I have the C6150 all-in-one printer - it keeps running out of color cartridges even though I rarely use color printing. I want it to ignore the status of color cartridges even if they are empty. I set my printing option to say "black cartridge only" but it still doesn't allow printing and given an error message that "Replace the following empty ink cartridges to resume printing" - why does it need color cartridges to print in black when I am explicitly specifying it to use "Black cartridge only" in my print option? How do I make this printer a black and white only printer and igonre the status of color cartridges?

I have that happen as well. I have it set to print black only and it is still using color. Haven't a clue why!!!

Print copy ignores my request to print in black and white and prints in color anyways.

I recently reinstalled complete software for my c7280 all-in-one. I can no longer control the color of the prints or the preview
screen. If I specify black cartridge only and print preview, I get a color print with no preview.
This problem is restricted to Internet Explorer 9.0 and does not show up when printing from Safari Window Version. I am running
on Windows 7, 32 bit, home edition. I did not have any problems with earlier versions of Internet Explorer. The Internet Explorer
seems to have many compatibility issues with many programs, but especially printing. Any fixes I can try, other than falling back
to an earlier version of Internet Explorer?

Hi breyeschow,
When printing from a Chromebook via Google Cloud Print, the printing options available to you are dependent upon the app that you are printing from. If the app does not have the option, there is not a way to adjust the settings of the printer to allow for those options.

I imported photos from an old iPhoto (2001) to photo library and can now see them as thumbnails but not when I click on them. The screen is black cannot see or print either. Is there any way to salvage those old photos? I now use iLife09. OS 10.6

Did you import the old iPhoto library into the new one? That's not what you want to do because you will import all of the original, modified and thumbnail files as if they were original files. Lots of duplicates and useless small photos.
Do you have a backup copy of the library that you imported into to? If you do then bring it in and then use iPhoto Library Manager to merge the two libraries into a new, 3rd library.
If you don't then you'll have to try to fix the current one and then cull out the duplicates and small useless photos as follows: make a temporary, duplicate copy of your library and apply the three fixes in order as necessary.
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your HD/User/Home()/ Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your HD/User/Home()/Library /Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #3
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If this doesn't fix the problem you'll have to start over from scratch and create a new library from the files inside the Originals folder of your current library. But first you should cull out the small photos that would be the thumbnails from the 2001 library.
Move the Originals folder to the Desktop, open and do a search for Kind=photo, File size is less than 10 KB. That should find all of the thumbnail files which you can then drag to the Trash. You might have to make that less than 50 KB. Then Import the remaining photos into a new iPhoto library.

Undefined black line vertically on printed page

A narrow undefined line appears about two inches from the left edge of a page (and not totally consistent in how dark it is. Very faint if no print on the page.   The more text the more noticable it appears.
Additionally -- if there is heavy toner in that area it appears to remove the toner leaving a white but dirty narrow line.   But if it's just regular printed text it does *not* score thru a letter, it just appears as this dirty line in the background.
It's not the cartridge.     Can't see anything inside the printer that looks likely.

Hello sam_k, welcome to the forums
I understand you are noticing a black line. Please let me know some more information and I will certainly look into this for you!
1. Which Operating System you are running:
Which Windows Operating System am I running?
Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
2. What is your printers Model Number:
How Do I Find My Model Number?
3. Do you noticed the black line when you print, scan, copy, or fax?
4. How is your printer connected to your PC? Ethernet, wireless or USB?
In the meantime, try Resetting the Printer and plug the printer in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors. This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
Thank you! Have a great day

Laserjet 2605dn - how do I turn it into a black and white only printer?

How do I turn it into a black and white only printer?
I just bought ink replacement for a whopping $563 which is way too much. My ink supplies have run out. I replaced the Balck ink but the printer is stuck in the "replace supplies" error w/ orange light flashing. Is there any way to re-configure the printer to only use as a B/W printer?

Found myself in the same boat. Try this link, worked for me

As for printing in B&W only, I don't think this printer has that capability, at least from what I've read.

Looking for a good black and white laser printer

I am sorry if I am at a wrong place, but I would like to get some recommend for a good black and white laser printer. Maybe some of the user in this group have some good experience
Thanks in advance - Frank

The Brother HL-5340D is an excellent choice. It's much cheaper to operate in the long run than others. I did a cost breakdown between it and an HP printer here.
However the HL-5340D is discontinued. We paid $170 for ours new, and new ones that remain are at a price gouging $530. The current nearest model is the updated HL-5450DN for $185.

InDesign black ink is printing grey not black on Canon MP470 printer

Just installed a new IMac computer. I have two printers available. Canon MP470 connected via USB port and a HP Photosmart 6510 connected via WI-FI. When printing InDesign documents on the Canon printer all colors print a weak color (black is grey etc.). The same document printed on the HP Photosmart 6510 black prints as black and other colors appear normal as designed. Illustrator documents printed in black on both machines print black. Have I messed up a setting?

I have had the following Preferences set:
On Screen: Display all Blacks as Rich Black
Printing/Exporting: Output all Blacks as Rich Black
and have also checked to activate:
Overprint [Black] Swatch at 100%

Photosmart C6180 All-In-One...Black Ink will not print...the page is almost blank

The Printer seems to work correctly, but the page is almost blank. The only exceptions are a few faint characters, and sometimes a light line down the side of the page. Can you please help? The printer has not had much mileage.
Thanks,
Ross

I ran all those tests and did all the upplugging, turning off, etc. Do not think is a software / connection problem. Somehow I think the issue is in the black print head. All ink levels are very good. In the past, I have been running the printer with the print settings in the software at ... print in Greyscale / Black Only. Though the old black cartridge showed plenty of ink, I put in a new black cartridge and that is not the problem.
Even when I put a paper on the glass to copy and use the black copy button, it prints very faintly...almost not even there. Yet when I copy by pushing the Color Copy button on the printer and use a color original, colors seem to show up better.
I have used the tool, clean print heads, several times. There is a lot of ink in the squares, but it is all color. My gut is somehow the black print head is still plugged, or something like that. Though it says to use the "clean print heads" sparingly because it uses up ink, I saw in the self help to do this 3 times or more.
What can I do to get the black print head to print? I appreciate your comments. My wife is ready to toss it and move on.
Hope you have a good weekend.
Thanks,
Ross

Ebooks opened within IOS 8 frequently display a black page with white print

While reading books in IBook, if I stop reading and allow my IPad to shut down, it frequently restarts IBooks wit a black page and white print. So far, the only recovery is to power down the IPad and restart.
I don't recall this happening with IOS 7. Any suggestions to permanently stop the color swap between text and pages would be appreciated.

With a book open tap the AA icon top right and if 'auto-night theme' is 'on' then turn it 'off' and see if it that stops it changing to white on black.

Hi,
Airprint does not support Black ink only printing, however the HP ePrint app allow it.
Be aware that the option is only available for documents (e.g Office files, PDFs, Web pages and emails) but not for Photo files.
You may find the steps to get and use the app in the document below:
