CP1215 Can't print in black and white with low colour cartidge

I have a CP1215 that has run out of yellow, but the status reports that I can print over 1000 pages with black, but when I choose black and white, I get an error stating that I need to replace the yellow.
How do I get around this as it is very annoying!!!
Thanks

Got it solved!!. Went into the HP Toolbox -> System Setup -> Cartridge Out Override -> Yes.

Can I print in black and white with an empty color cartridge on a HP Officejet Pro 8100 printer ?

Only the cyan cartridge is empty, all of the other 3 cartridges are fine. I ordered the cyan cartridge online but I need to print important documents today. The power button is blinking when I try to print.
I don't understand, black and white should not use a color cartridge to print.
Is there a trick so I can print before receiving the cyan cartridge ?
This question was solved.

The Officejet Pro 8100 ePrinter has the same print mechanism as its All-in-One counterpart the Officejet Pro 8600. This printer has a printhead mechanism that contains 4 individual cartridges: CMYK (cyan/magenta/yellow/black).
One will have to replace the cartridge, if the unit provides a message of one of the colors being empty, before the unit will resume printing. It is a maintenance mechanism to prevent the product from self-damage. Hope this helps.

How can I print in black and white only from mobile device

I print coupons from the coupons.com app. I can change the settings on my printer through my computer to print in black and white only so as not to use up all of my color ink. How can I change this on my iphone to print in black and white?

Hi,
HP ePrint app on a modile device allows you to print Grayscale mode

HP 8500 All-in-one printer - how can I print in black and white only (to save color ink)?

I want to be able to select the option of printing in black and white only to save color ink. How can I do that?

What operating system? You can generally find an option for "Print in grayscale" and "Black ink only" in the Color or Advanced tab of the Printer Settings.
Some color ink will still be used to keep the printheads from clogging, see here for information. (The Officejet 8500 is an IIC printer in the vocabulary of that page.)

How can I print in black and white?

I have asked friends how to print in black and white and they show me how to do it on their computers. They do it by just switching the colorysync profile to black and white or greyscale but when I go to print and go to the same drop down menu for colorsync profiles, there are no other profiles.

First, as print dialog box functions vary with the Mac OS version, we need to know what version of the Mac OS you have. "iOS 5.0.1" in your profile is not a computer OS but rather for iDevices. Do "About this Mac" from the Apple menu to see what version you really have. It should be 10.something
Second: control of the type of printing is int eh hands of the printer software, Please post the both the make and model of printer you are using.

How can I print in black and white only directly from apps on hp screen?

My printer preference from my pc is set to print in black and white from my computer. How do I set the same black and white settings from the HP Photosmart Plus printer, when printing directly from Apps on Home screen?

Hello AdrianaSFleury,
At this time there is not an option or a default to set black and white only from the front panel of the printer. Some applications may give you settings in the Application itself for color or black and white but that would be the only place to change the color of the document/photo for your print jobs.

Can only print in Black and White

Since installing Mavericks have had to reinstall HP inkjet 960c driver. It now works but with only basic options in Print Dialogue box. ONLY PRINTS IN BLACK AND WHITE. Printer features option only has dpi options.

Did you check the HP website for a v10.9 Mavericks compatible driver?
I see Mac OS X under: Select your Operating System but not v10.9 Mavericks.

HT204135 my printer works but i can t print in black and white

i hane an epson nx515 it s works but the problem i cant print in black and white ,i have a mac 10.7.3

Using the Preview application as a reference, if you select to print and only see a limited amount of information, you need to press the Show Details button in the print dialog to see the additional menus. Then, if you click on the Preview menu you may see a Color menu and within this could be a Grayscale setting, which will print using only the black ink. This is what I see with my Canon inkjet, not sure what menus exist in the Epson but I would expect there to be something similar.

I can't print in black and white. How do I fix this?

I have a HP Officejet 6400 and I tried printing a PDF from preview and it doesn't give me the option to print in black and white. Why? How do I fix this?

There's a Preview drop-down menu (just says Preview in the Print dialog box) and if you scroll down you should see "Quality & Media with a check box for Grayscale Printing:
See if it works for you.

How to make a photo half black and white with select colours

Hey,
Can anyone give me step by step instructions on how to make a photo black and white with abit of colour like the one attached... on CS4?
Cheers

Haven't seen you attached file as it takes a long time for attachments to load on this forum. Try little camera icon instead.
EASIEST way to have B&W in areas is to add Hue and Saturation adjustment layer. Use sliders to make B&W. Next paint on layer MASK, with black, to restore color in areas you want to show color.

HP Deskjet 1050 J410 can't print in black and white

Hey everyone,
My HP Deskjet 1050 J410 on Windows 7 64bit is unable to print documents in black and white, even after selecting the option to do so. There are no error messages, and the diagnostic tool on the HP website can't solve this too.
Your help is appreciated.

Hi happsy,
Are the cartridges new HP OEM or remanufactured cartridges?
Have you tried replacing the cartridges with new ones?

How do I print in black and white with HP Deskjet 5740?

I have just updated from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. With Snow Leopard, and an HP Deskjet 5740 printer, I could choose to print in draft or best quality, black and white only or in full colour, and had various other options. Now I am not offered these options in the print dialogue: the printer always prints in colour and I cannot choose whether to print in best or draft quality. I would be grateful for any tips on how to recover printing options. Many thanks.

I have a different HP, but see if this helps:
You can also select Greyscale, and even only the Black Cartridge:
(you can save it as a Preset)

Laserjet Pro 400 color MFP M475dw print in black and white

Hello,
I have a Laserjet Pro 400 color MFP M475dw printer that is contected to a network so that multiple users can print from it. I want to be able to restrict it so that they can only print in black and white and double sided. Is this possible? and if so could you please tell me how?
I am not able to restrict them on a print by print basis, hence I am looking for a solution where I only have to make the change once.
Thanks for your help!

I understand you want to change a setting one time so that no matter who is sending the printer a print job it prints in gray scale. Actually I found two ways to do it. Here is the basic way to do it as described on page 16 of the User Guide. Also, you could set up this printer to receive emails (ePrint) in gray scale only. I just did a test after making changes in my ePrint settings at www.eprintcenter.com and no color was printed on a regular document containing color. I hope that answers your question. If not, let me know. I will be happy to explain greater detail.

How do i Drag and Drop print in black and white?

I really like the drag and drop printing feature where i just drag several files to the printer icon in the doc and they print with out opening the file. My only problem is that i can't get them to print in black and white, or choose any other features for that matter. it is printing in color, which is the printer's default. Does any one know how to print in black and white with the drag and drop feature. i have set the printer to black and white for a single document, then tried to drag and drop, but it still does it in color only. i am using pdf's by the way, but it happens with jpegs as well.

You should create another printer queue for the printer and choose an appropriate name for the queue. You can then put the printer in the Dock. Now use the web interface to the printing system <http://127.0.0.1:631/printers>. Locate your new printer and click on the "Configure" button. You will need to authenticate yourself using the short user name and password of an administrator's account. You will then be able to set the defaults for that printer. Click "Continue" when you are done.
You can now drag and drop those files you want printed to the appropriate printer icon in the Dock.
Note: This does not work for every printer. There are some manufacturer's drivers that do not put these options in the printer's PPD. They generate them on the fly when you call the print window.

Hey sinfulslave,
Could you please let me know what version of Acrobat are you using.
For Acrobat XI, you might choose 'Advanced' under Printer Properties and enable 'Print all Text as Black' option.
Refer the below mentioned KB doc link as well if that might help:

Let me know.
