Bypassing need for Black Photo Ink

I am printing basic documents and for the first time my Black Photo Ink is LOW, but my regular Black Ink is FULL.
All of my pages are printing blank.
It must be directing the printer to use the Black Photo Ink first, even though these are just Word and PDF documents.
Please help me fix or understand settings for this?
Working on a MAC (2 years old, not updated to Yosemite yet)
Thank you!

Hi @WilliamsA,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that your HP Photosmart 7510 is printing blank pages. I am happy to look into this for you!
I would recommend to take a look through this guide, Printer Prints a Blank Page or Does Not Print Black or Color Ink for the HP Photosmart 7510 e-All-in.... Also, take a moment to read through this article, Ink Usage in Inkjet Printers.
Hope this answers your question, and have a great day!

Storage Needed for iPhoto photos.

I have used iPhotoBuddy to have separate libraries that can be switched between. I now have an iPad and want to be able to sync all the albums, so I have collected all the pictures that I want to keep active into a single library.
When I go to the Library and Select All, it indicates that I have 3.4 GB of photos. When I look in my pictures folder, this iPhoto Library seems to be 5.6 GB. I am trying to free up space on my harddrive. I recognize that there has to be some administrative space, but 2.2 GB seems like a lot. Is there some way to clean up this library and free up more space?

Have you read your first post?
The specific question was:
Is there some way to clean up this library and free up more space?
Try as I might I see no mention of
a suggested upgrade or a utility that I could purchase or a script that I could run that would save me time and energy.
Instead you got a specific answer:
All the data in the iPhoto Library Folder is required for the operation of the app.
So, frankly, you didn't ask what you seem to think you've asked, and no, I didn't only give you only information on how to move a Library. You make no mention of Sharing with a PC or archiving photos in your original post at all. Oh, and moving to a different disk will not affect the ability to share with a PC. And that advice was offered because you complained about disk space so I wondered
If disk space is an issue...
You may or may not find the later versions compelling, but if you don't consider the massive improvements in editing - including Non-Destructive Editing - to be a "serious functional upgrade" then I have no idea what might be.

Just what I wanted/needed for digital photos...

ever since digital photography became mainstream and i ditched the 35mm camera for a digital one, one of my main hangups has been how to share photos with others. in the old days (35mm), you just grabbed the folder of prints and showed them to whoever. however, with digital pitcures prior to the iphone, i either had to email them or i had to go to the store for prints. now i can cram pretty much all my pictures on the iphone and can show them off conveniently, since i take it everywhere. for me, this is fast becoming one of the coolest unexpected perks of the iphone!

Well, generally it's already pre-paid with your OS. But you can always check with
iTunes Store Support
http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
They can tell if you paid cash or if it was OS Redeemed.

Advice needed for importing photos from Picasa

Hi, tomorrow I'm helping a friend migrate all his photos from his old Windows PC to his new iMac. I'm not very familiar with Picasa and was hoping someone here would know more about it than I do.
The photos are likely scattered all over his computer so it's not a simple matter of just grabbing a photo directory and moving it to the iMac. I read that Picasa lets you export photos but it also has a backup feature. Does anyone know what the best way would be to gather up all the photos and get them placed into a directory (or rather a series of nested directories) for importing?
Also, if they have entered any photo titles or descriptions in Picasa, will those just get lost? Same with albums, those will be lost too, right?
Thanks!

Hi, I did some research and figured it out, and thought I'd post my results here in case it can help someone else someday.
There are two ways to get photos out of Picasa: Exporting and Backing Up.
If you export photos, they all show up flattened-out in one folder. While this would technically work, the downside is iPhoto will suddenly have thousands of photos added to it and I'm not really sure how it will figure out the events (I didn't try importing into iPhoto yet).
If you use Picasa's Backup feature (Tools->Back up pictures) then all the photos show up with their folder hierarchies preserved. So for example you could end up with a folder containing the following folders and photos.
Vacation Photos
Vacation Photos/Hawaii 2009/
Vacation Photos/Hawaii 2009/pic1.jpg
Vacation Photos/Hawaii 2009/pic2.jpg
Vacation Photos/New York 2008/
Vacation Photos/New York 2008/pic1.jpg
Vacation Photos/New York 2008/pic2.jpg
etc.
From what I've read, if the "Vacation Photos" folder is imported into iPhoto, the folder names will be used as events, so in this example you'll end up with a "Hawaii 2009" event and a "New York 2008" event, which is nice.
As far as Picasa's Backup tool goes, it will create one or more top-level folders with names starting with a dollar sign. These represent the top-level folders containing photos. On the computer I tested this on I ended up with $Desktop, $My Documents, and $My Pictures, because all the photos on this computer were inside of the Desktop, My Documents, and My Pictures folders (and their children).
So in a nutshell, if you want to migrate from Picasa on Windows to iPhoto, just use Picasa's "Back Up Pictures" menu item if you want to preserve the folder hierarchy of your photos. Oh, one last thing: this feature doesn't let you back up to the same hard drive as the photos, so just share a folder on either your Mac or your PC and then back up to that folder.
Hope somebody finds this information useful.

Stop it from using photo black ink for black text printing and where has the color ink gone?

My HP Photosmart Prem C310 series all in one is using the Black Photo ink cartridge for text printing instead of the XL Black that I put in it for text printing. How can I get it to use the right cartridge for printing? Also, even though I have NOT printed ANY photo's and very few pages of text the new set of color cartridges I put in it a few months ago are almost empty. Why? How could they be almost empty when I have NOT printed anything in color? This is getting ridiculous replacing ink cartridges every few months WHEN I HAVE NOT BEEN PRINTING ANYTHING!!!
The set of ink cartridges that came with it lasted for several months. Since then I've gone through two sets in less than a year. That's 3 sets of ink cartridges when I have only printed 3 photo's when I first set it up. And have only used les than a 1/4 of one package of printing paper. I've only put paper in it twice. Each time it was about a 1/4 inch or 3/8 of an inch thick stack of paper in the tray. I've even tried shutting the printer down when its not being used for a long period of time but the ink is still disapearing. Where is it going? Why is it going there? How do I stop it? This is rediculous. I may as well junk the thing even though it still works because I cant aford to keep feeding it ink when its just sitting there doing nothing most of the time.
Thank you

I just got another email from HP about this problem wanting to know what I found for a solution to this problem. From all of the suggestions from the HP tec support all of them pretty much kept saying the same thing. That it is my fault that it's using so much ink because I have it on the wrong settings. One tec did slip and say that it doesn't matter what settings you have it on it will always use the Photo Black cartridge for printing plain black text and it doesn't matter if you have a X-Large Black cartridge in it for text printing because it was made to always use the Photo Black for text and even use some of the colors to blend with the black to make it stand out. Why anybody would need this when just printing shipping labels and things like that I don't know.
Any who, The only solution for this problem is,,,, junk the printer and get a different brand & model of printer. Research it before buying to find out how much ink it wants to waste and if it will still print black text if it only has a black cartridge in it. I was going to get rid of mine by giving it to a friend since they don't have a printer. But since I want to keep him as a friend I decided not to give it to him. Since it cant be traded in for a different one even though it still works, Its going to the target shooting range the next time I go out shooting. Maybe I'll take a few video's clips of it getting blasted to pieces with a Ruger 10-22 .22 cal. rifle with 25 shot clips, a Ruger Mini-14 Ranch Rifle shooting .223 cal with a 30 shot clip, a Chinese SKS 7.62 with a 30 shot clip. And maybe use my Ruger P89 9mm pistol and put a couple 15 round clips of 9mm in it. If there's anything left I'll finish it off with a few 3" magnum loads of #2 steel shot with my 20 gauge shotgun. Then I think I'll do the same thing to my Westinghouse 46" flat screen HDTV that just died.
Then maybe I'll come back and post the video's of my "solution to this printers problem". It may not fix the problem, but it will be an entertaining way of getting rid of the problem.

7525 photo ink

Do I have to use 564 black photo or can I use the standard black cartridge instead. I see some 564 ink printers do not need a black photo cartridge. Can I bypass the photo ink to use standard 564 black.

So there is no work around bypassing the 564 Photo ink cartridge? It seems illogical to me to HAVE to use the photo black cartridge when I'm not printing photos. I just want to make a color copy.

HP photosmart 7510 not using the regular black ink only photo ink.

Hi, the problem thta i am having with my printer is that when i try to print anything in black it only uses the photo ink which has now run out, i have replaced the regular black ink multiple times but it is still trying to use the photo ink and now since it is empty it acts like it is printing but the documents come out blank since the photo ink is empty.
Thank you
Kerim

Hi Kerim, sorry to hear that you are having printing issues with the black in cartridge. If I understand correctly, your printer will not print regular black ink. It wants to use the Photo black all the time. I would need to know some information about your computer. Are you using Windows or Mac? Have you attempted to do the Firmware update that is available on the printer? Once I have the operating system or your computer, I can then send you the link with the instructions on how to do the Firmware update.
Please write back at your convenience and I will be happy to help.
Thank you.

Photo Ink for 7510

I've never once printed on photo paper. Always use black draft whenever possible, but for reasons I've never understood the photo cartridge depletes. I'm at the point where the regular black ink is streaking. But, the clean heads utility won't work unless I buy yet another black photo cartridge. I just don't understand this. I want to print in draft black, and occasionally "best". Can someone help me out? Thanks.
This question was solved.

Your printer uses separate ink supplies and printhead assembly. If the printhead is allowed to run dry it may be damaged, resulting in expensive repairs to restore functionality.
Some ink is used to keep the printhead healthy, the document here explains how ink is used in HP (and other manufacturer's) printers. In the vocabulary of that document your printer is an IIC printer.

Bought a new 4s and need to transfer photos from iCloud to new device. iCloud is giving me an old @me address. I do not have the email or pw for the iCloud account. How do I retrieve this information? Thanks.

Bought a new 4s and need to transfer photos from iCloud to new device. iCloud is giving me an old @me address. I do not have the email or pw for the iCloud account. How do I retrieve this information? Thanks.

If you need to change the iCloud ID on your new phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
