How can I print black ink only when in automatic two-sided mode for Officejet 6500?

When I set the printer to automatically print on two sides, it only allows color or high quality grayscale as print color options. If I print on only one side, then I have a third option for black ink only. Does anyone know how to get black ink only while getting two sided printing automatically?

Sorry, this is not an option. When printing the front page of a duplexed page the black is underprinted with color to make the print "set" and dry faster. As a result "black only" is not an option when printing automatically duplexed pages.

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:

How can i print an Excel file when in the full screen mode (no print options on toolbar or right clk

using Vista, sometimes after creating and saving an excel file, the document is not visible when the file is reopened.
selecting full screen mode makes the document visible, but the toolbars disappear and the print option does not show up on a right click. How can i print the document and see the document in some other mode than full screen?

In order to print, you can click the CTRL+P keys to launch the print dialog,
Regarding the missing toolbar, try clicking the ALT key to shouw the software menu, then look around under the view option for any available toolbar settings,
If you cannot find it, i would recommend you to try the Microsoft support forums, as they have some more knowledge with their software features

How do I get my Epson NX400 printer to print black ink only?

I have documents that were created using colors for the text that I find difficult to read. They also print in those colors.
I have followedEpson's instructions to set the NX400 to print black ink only.
The printer still prints in color.
Possibly, Epson's drivers don't work, Or possiby, something in Lion OS is overriding the drivers.
Is there some setting in Lion OS that overrides the printer drivers? Is it not possible to print black ink only?
Help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hello, unfortunately, even if you do print them in Black & White only, colored text will show as some shade of gray, possibly even White.
As an Experiment, in the Print Dialog, choose PDF>Save as PDF, then see what it looks like using the Colorsync setting of Grayscale or B&W.

[HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni] Stopped printing black ink documents when Magenta toner finished

Hi there,
I have a HP Color LaserJet CP1518ni.
I just printed about 200 pages of black ink documentation. The black ink cartridge is still about 38% full.
Although none of these printouts involved colour, the printer started flashing the message: "Replace magenta cartridge".
Since then, it would no longer print. Again, I am only attempting to print black ink docs, and I even tried turning off the colour print option to no avail.
The printer queue on my macbook shows the doc as 'printing' and 'sending', and then it disappears, with nothing happening on the printer itself.
If I push the 'X' button on the printer, it says 'cancelling print' or something like that.
Is there any way around the problem of the printer not printing anything once one of its cartridges runs to empty, even though the printjob does not need that colour cartridge?
Thank you!
Steve

How can I find the Toolbox FX on Windows 7 Professional? I can only find information about Windows XP and Windows Vista. When I go to my Start button, and go to All Programs , there is no HP option or folder;therefore,I can't find the Toolbox FX.
My printer ran out of magenta toner, but all I want to do is print in black ink (which I have plenty of).
Can anyone please help me?

When I use the printer icon in Firefox, it is preset to 10 copies. How can I change this to only one copy by default. Thanks for any information

When I use the printer icon, in the upper left corner, it is automatically preset to 10 copies. I only want one copy by default. I can change it to one, but when re-opened, it is back to 10.

Number of copies to be printed isn't a setting that Firefox is supposed to be saving, and I have never seen a preference for that in the hidden Firefox prefs panel - about:config.
Try the '''''reset''''' described here and reset all the prefs for that printer: <br />
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problems_printing_web_pages#Reset_printer <br />Make sure to restart Firefox before seeing if doing this '''reset''' fixed your problem.
If that did fix your problem, please click the '''Solved It''' button next to the answer that answered or solved your Firefox support issue, '''''it appears when you are logged in''''', so this thread gets marked as '''Solved''' to help other users who may have this same problem.
If that didn't solve your problem and it still defaults to printing 10 copies of everything thru Firefox, please open '''Help > Troubleshooting Information...''' and use the '''Copy All to Clipboard''' button and then paste that information into the '''''Post a Reply''''' box here.
It is going to be a real long list, but all I really need to see is the ''' print.''' preferences, so you could paste '''All''' that information into a text program like WordPad first, edit out the information that I don't need to see, and then '''copy''' the remaining information and '''paste''' only that information in to the '''''Reply''''' box here.
I wonder if there might be a pref that I have never seen, but I truly doubt it. That "number of copies to be printed" has never been "stuck" for me on any program in Windows, on any PC I have ever used, with any printer / print drivers.
The only time I have ever seen a "print dialog box" default to more than 1 copy was with a work application where the program being used was set to force 2 copies of some specific forms to print 2 copies all the time - one to be given to the "customer" at the end of the job for their records of the service call and one for the "employee" to get a signature upon completion of the job, to fax into the home office for job documentation as completed successfully and for payroll purposes so they would get paid for that service call.

HP Office Jet 6500 Printer won't print black ink only since FF 3.6 upgrade

How can I print black and white

I would like the option of printing in black and white from my iPad. Does anyone know if this is possible? Just hooked up Epson XP -600 AirPlay wi fi printer.
Does this require an app? Prints fine in color.

If you print a B&W image, some printers will still use color ink in the process.
There is no way to tweak print settings on the iPad or iPhone. Apple designed it to automatically apply default settings to any print jobs.
I recommend looking at an app like Printopia. This acts as an inexpensive "print server" for your iPad which allows you to configure advanced settings from the computer, such as custom paper sizes and color options.

I'm new to my Macbookpro I just got and having problem printing emails,web info etc in black ink only. I have a HP officejet all in one 6200 printer and have tried but can't find any options for changing to black ink only when the print window comes up.

HP Officejet Pro 8600: How do I get my printer to print black and white when sending it an email?

Whenever I send my printer an email, it automatically prints it in color. Is there a way to set it so that it can print in black and white?

Hi Beemo,
I see that you're wanting to print in black ink only.
I have a couple of questions for you.
Are you trying to print black ink only while using ePrint?

HP Office jet 6600 Need to print in black ink only

One of the color cartridges is empty and the printer won't print in Black in only which is a full cartridge. I turned Gray scale on and enabled print black ink only but it still won't print. Is there anything else I can do?
thanks,

Hello GilbertSimi, and welcome to the HP Forums.
I understand you are looking to print without full colour cartridges installed. Due to the ink system design, this model of printer requires the colour ink to be installed to print. Using it without colour ink could cause damage to the ink system.
If you have any questions about ink you can check out this document on Ink Usage in Inkjet Printers, and this document on How HP measures inkjet page yields.

Hp 6600 won't print in black ink only

Two of my color cartridges are supposedly empty (but I rather doubt it) so I decided I'd print in black ink only. I followed the directions as directed in the hp software and changed preferences to black ink only. Still, when I try to print I get a message that I need to replace the two colored ink cartridges that are empty. I'm very frustrated. Why won't this work?

I went to the link suggested and the answer was what I already knew. Shame on HP for selling a product without including that you need all cartridges full to use black and white In LARGE BOLD print. The following is not helpful. It only tells me what I already know. I will NEVER buy an HP product again. HP Officejet Printers - Printing with Depleted CartridgesIssueCan the printer operate for an extended period of time with depleted cartridges?SolutionFor 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.

C310 not printing black ink

Hello, I have the HP C310 Printer.
I've tried everything on the HP faq about the printer not printing black ink.
When I do an ink test, all the other inks(including photo) show up, but black doesn't. It says the ink cartridge is full.
I have tried printing from my phone and laptop, but to no avail. Also, I cleaned the vent and replaced it, but the printer still prints without black ink. My warranty has expired and I believe it is something wrong with the printer.
What should I do now?
Thanks,
Des

Bob...I AM an HP employee, and I used your soak technique when my OJ6500 would not print black ink. After the soaking and reinstalling the printhead, I left the printer off all weekend. It worked LIKE A CHAMP on Monday. Thank you!
Although I am a Hewlett-Packard employee, the comments I provide are my own.
