Color toner consumption on M476dw when printing only black pages?

I purchased a M476dw about a month ago. After printing the color demo page a few times and one or two color prints, and then until I changed the default settings there were a few pages printed with "accent color". Other than that, I've only been printing black pages since then.
The supplies report says I have 70% left on my black cartridge (pages printed 310 estimated remaining 750), and 90% remaining on all three color cartridges ( (pages printed 33 estimated remaining > 1000)
I realize these are just estimates, but I am surprised that 33 pages of printing almost all of which were just accent color has resulted in 10% of the color cartridges consumed.
I have printer plugged directly into the wall and leave it on all of the time, so no surplus cleaning cycles are being generated, and my default printing mode is: black & white / Print in grey scale.
I realize the supplied cartridges are "starter" cartridges but still are there any other factors under MY control on color toner consumption?
Thanks!
Jim

I have the same problem that you. I have a spool order in SAP (Purchase Order) and when the user try to print it a column appears in black boxes.
The printer model is Esker Fax Server and the Device Type is SWIN.
The Purchase Order layout have been created with a smartform, I have review the shading for this field and it's correct (0%). And when I preview the PO in me23n the column is correct, without black boxes.

Color/tone of photo changes when printing...

I'm trying to print a photos for an invitation, its a black and white photo with a pink background. The black and white levels have been adjusted to a very light tone since I have to put vellum paper on top with the invitation wording... When I send the picture to be printed at the pharmacy photo lab the picture does not look the same as on my screen. Its always darker than the work I created. Am I saving this in the wrong format??? Should I try something different? Any tips will be greatly appreciated
Thanks!

Also, the best way to do this is not to adjust the black and white levels but to adjust the opacity of the image. You will need to make the background layer into a regular layer (double click it in the layers palette and say yes to the dialogs), then use the opacity slider to lighten it.
Or alternatively you could add multiply layers till you reach the required lightness, then flatten the image.

When printing a web page, I only get blank pages

I have a new iMac with MAC OS 10.4.11. I connected an HP psc 2175xi all-in-one printer, and when I try to print a web page from Safari, I only get a very small portion of the header and all other pages are blank. When looking at the Print Preview, every thing looks like it has printed fine, but when it is sent to the printer only blank pages come out. I am able to print from other applications fine. It seems to be related to printing web pages only, because I have also tried to print using Firefox, but the same problem occurs. Can anyone please help?
Thanks.

How do I set my Ricoh Aficio SP C220N to Default to print only Black and White?

HI Guys can you help?
How do I set my Ricoh Aficio SP C220N to Default to print only Black and White? When I check print Grey Scale box it uses the other colours to create the black instead of using the black toner cartridge. doing this from a PC works fine but not of a Mac and I am a newbie at this can you help as I don't want to waste any more colour ink unnecessarily.

Hi,
Follow the steps below to print using Black Ink only:
1. From the application used to print, click the File menu and select Print. The Print window appears.
NOTE: The Print window might be minimized: Click the Show Details button to see all available settings.
2. To access the color options, click the lowest selection box listed as the name of the program (e.g. TextEdit)
Will appear as Copies & Pages within Microsoft Office applications.
3. Select Paper Type/Quality from the drop-down menu.
4. Click the triangle next to Color Options to expend the settings.
5. Set the Color field as Grayscale.
6. Set the Grayscale Mode as Black Ink Cartridge Only.
You may save the settings for future use by clicking Presets > Save Current Settings as Preset...

Help?
Using Windows XP (Home Version)
Product # CB419A

Could be a number of issues. First could be a bad or not connecting transfer rollers which moves the toner from the drum to the paper. Only way to test is a half test by putting paper on the manual tray and printing a self test. When the back edge enters the printer, open the toner door to stop printing. Remove the toner and flip back the cover over the toner drum to see if there is any image on the drum. If image is present then it could be transfer roller issues. Use the service manual and look under engine diagnostics in the index and it will direct you to a page that shows how to perform an engine test. Do the test to see if you get a sheet of paper with lines on it. If you get lines, then the issue could be the formatter. If no lines and the shutter has been removed then I would think you are having high voltage issues. You may have to bring the printer in for service.

HP 6510 printing only blank pages after changing print cartridges

Hi,
My HP 6510 is printing only blank pages after I installed new print ink cartridges. I tried cleaning the print heads, aligning the printer... which did result in some pages printing with a little color (but it seemed "off" to me). That said, when I try to print a regular document from my PC it only prints a blank page.
I can't seem to figure this one out on my own - please help!
Thanks!
Chloe

The document here may help resolve black not printing on your Photosmart 6510. Be sure the cartridges are vented as shown in solution two.
Is your printer still in warranty? You can check with HP's warranty tool here.

Printing only changed pages

In my department, we produce large technical manuals that are distributed to users around the world. When small changes are made to the manuals, we only distribute the changed pages (including the back side of the changed page since the documents are printed double-sided). Is there an automated way to only print the changed pages with the necessary back pages?

Rick Quatro at http://www.frameexpert.com has a plugin that will print only changed pages; I don't see it listed on his website at the moment, but if you contact him he'll be able to give you more details.
Rick's very, very familiar with the complications of dealing with changed pages in FM.

Hp f2280 printing only black&white via time capsule

HP f2280 printing only black&white via time capsule
anyone have this problem before?

I have just purchased the latest Time Capsule and have exactly the same problem with my HP F2280 when printing from my iMac. Very odd. So started surfing the web and it appears we are not alone and there is no easy fix. Anyway it appears the scanner will not work via the TC either, never crossed my mind when I purchased it that I would have such problems. Two thumbs down for TC

I am using the directive @page normal { size : portrait;

Of course, but It's not a problem with logical inches per se.
The
logical inch is just another way of looking at what is meant
by the
screen dpi value. Scaling problems, with different dpi
settings, has
always been a Windows problem and results from the way that
the OS
handles scaling. Fonts scale perfectly. Actual windows, and
other
containers, don't. This is a problem programmers have
grappled with
since the first Windows OS. Vista is the first OS to try to
tackle this
problem.
>Thus, percentages or ems work best when cross-platform
compatibility is
>desired."
And that is because the users screen dpi, and hence logical
inches, are
totally irrelevant when specifying ems and percentages.
Ems and percentage equate to a number of pixels, not inches.
The sole purpose of screen dpi setting is to convert anything
sized in
physical inches into a number of screen pixels. That is the
_only_
purpose of screen dpi. It's a very simple algorithm.
(physical) inches x screen dpi value = number of pixels
How do _you_ think a font sized in points (inches) gets
translated to a
specific number of pixels on screen. I'd be interested in
your answer.
For the screen a conversion from physical inches to pixels is
always
necessary because, as you say, pixels are the unit of screen
measurement
but they are not just a "standard" measurement, they are the
only
consistent measurement. It's not the users program that
creates pixels
on screen but the Operating System. The program requests the
OS to
create a given font at a given size and the requested size
_must_ be in
pixels. Windows can't _directly_ create a screen font that's
specified
in points (inches) because it has no notion of what a
physical inch is
on screen. It does know what a logical inch is because the a
logical
inch is defined by the screen dpi value. That's what the
screen dpi
value is for. If a browser programmer wants to bypass the
variability of
screen dpi on different computers then they ignore dpi values
and work
directly in pixels i.e. in ems or percentage. When ems and
percentages
are specified one is dealing only in pixels.
> It makes a lot more sense in terms of website design to

Of course it makes more sense to set font size specifically
in pixels
because that's the only unit the OS can use to put something
on screen.
I can't see where you get the idea that either Michael Bowers
or I have
said that there is a unit "defined as 1/72 of a logical
inch". Every
Windows program written takes it that there are 72 points to
a
_physical_ inch.

You are implying I've said things which I haven't. I have
never, at any
time, said one should use points or inches in designing web
pages. You
seem to have missed the point that what I am doing is
explaining why you
see the results you do on screen when those unit are used.
Somewhat more
informed than "Points are only for print because I don't know
what they
mean on screen, so they must be meaningless".
>As Eric Meyer says on page 110 of "Cascading Style
Sheets: The
>Definitive Guide" (2nd Edition), "points can be a very
difficult
>measurement to use in document design."
And again, I've never advocated using them in page design. A
close
reading, however, from page 83 onwards shows that Eric Meyer
has an
imperfect notion of the meaning of screen dpi. Heresy!! He's
hardly
alone, which is why I did a web site.
>
>That's why I recommend leaving points for use in print
style sheets.
>However, if you enjoy making life difficult for yourself

so.
Once again, I have never advocated that. You are setting up a
straw man

Try one of these:
1/ In Adobe, deselect "Choose Paper based on PDF size" - you can leave the "Auto Rotate and Center" on.
2/ In Adobe, go into Advanced and choose "Print as Image".
3/ If this is a Canon H1 Fiery RIP, go into Printer Properties, Printing Preferences, Layout, Rotate 180degrees and choose "Large Paper Only."

Page breaks in form - can't print only one page?

Hi guys
This might be a really simple question - but how do I insert page breaks into my form?
I have 8 pages in my document, and it is showing me this, so there seems to be no issue until I try to print only one page, and the whole document prints out.
Is there an easy fix to this?
Cheers
Jess

Hi,
how are you printing? Control+P? File > Print? or a Print button?
In any case the print command should bring up a print dialog, where you can set the pages that you want Acrobat to print. By default it is set to 'All' pages.
Hope that helps,
Niall
