How do I continue printing only in black on a MX882 if the cyan runs out? I don't have another cyan

I think it was error U163.
Well I haven't been able to find anything on this anywhere so I played around with the buttons to find a hidden workaround.
There is one! I pushed simultaneously "OK" and "Black (start button)" and "Stop" and the error page went away and it started printing.
These printers are maddening if you don't know the workarounds since it won't otherwise even let me fax or scan until I gave its ridiculously expensive cartridge.
Any other workaround that people know of?

Connect the iPad to iTunes! Under the apps tab, look-out for the File Sharing Apps option - below you'll find the list of apps that support file sharing. Select the app you need, it'll show the files saved in it. In your cas it will be the PDF files! Select it, copy it to PC and it's done!

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 Premier prints only in black/MAC USER & won't align?

    PROBLEM # 1) I've replaced all my ink cartridges, but can't find out why my printer is now only printing in black? I'm a MAC user, so I want to print in color, and am trying to find instructions for a MAC on how to get back to printing in color?
    ACTION TAKEN #1
    UPDATE: I've done a three level cleaning of the printer heads, which DOES print in color and each color block now looks great.  The printer heads were not printing any color blocks, but the pink color block,  until the first third level cleaning. I then cleaned the printer heads a second time all the way through the third level.
    RESULT: However when I print from any document/web page my printer only still prints in black & white after these two printer adjustments double three stage printer cartridge claening?
     ACTION TAKEN #2
    I found this very detailed report and video on cleaning printer heads, alignment issues, and calibrate line feeds;
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01624398&lc=en&product=3964986&tmp...
    The Print Quality Diagnostics Page looks perfect (including the alignment section)  in all 3 test patterns, and again prints in color. 
    RESULT: However, my printer still will not print in color after trying all these steps?
    IPROBLEM #2)I  've also tried a align printer which also prints in color,  but states, "alignment failed see documentation manual"? To make the situation more complicated the alignment page looks perfect  and prints in color before the error message displays. 
    After puling the power cord  twice while ON  and wiating 20 seconds, as discussed in the above link. my printer "won't remove the, "align  error message see diagnostics manual".
    RESULT: Printer "won't remove the, "align  error message see diagnostics manual", even though the Printer Diagnostic Pages looks great, and the alignment page as well.
    I'm operating a lastest version Macbook Air laptop OS X 10.9.4. I have not upgraded to a new operating system since this problem started a week ago, and Ive owned this HP Printer for 2 years. 
    UPDATE: ISSUE SOLVED. Well you can imagine when I say that I spent about 2 hours on this yesterday that yea he's right. This took a long time to research and try all these solutions. I told my wife about the issue and had her try:
    ACTION TAKEN #3: Print a page from a second computer. Windows laptop printed a colored page from a web site.  
    SOLUTION: (Printing only in Black Color): Wife literally solved the problem in 3 minutes! 
    Look below at the presets drop-down arrow tab, which is right below the printer name: You will see PLAIN PAPER, FAST DRAFT, BLACK AN(D WHITE). I'm not sure how I checked this, but this is how you can print only in black ink. NOTE: I looked at dozens of answers across the web, and didn't find this info anywhere else!
    This screen shot show you what the setting should be if you want to print in fast draft mode to use the least amount of color ink. 

    Hi monkplayer,
    It looks like your problem is solved? There wasn't a problem with the printer itself, just the printer settings on your Mac?
    This is good information though. We don't always have detailed solutions for customers that are using Safari, since it is hard to write instructions for the general public with specific steps for each operating system.
    Best of luck,

  • My payment method was declined  it is asking me to change it but I don't have another way to do it only a Visa card.  What should I do?

    Need help with my account .. My payment method was declined and I can't  update my apps .. How can I fix this problem? It says that I need to change my payment method but the fact is that I don't have another type of card only visa .. What can I do?

    Is the VISA card one that was issued to you by a bank where you have an account or one that you bought in a local store?
    You cannot use a prepaid debit VISA card that you bought from a local store with iTunes or Mac App Stores.

  • Your firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible. Firefox will not open and I don't have another internet program on my computer. How can I get the profile back?

    Everytime I try to open firefox on my desktop it says "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." So now I cannot open firefox at all and I can't figure out how to get a profile. I just had to delete some programs to gain memory on my system and that is when the problem started. I don't have another internet program

    Hi crmn,
    Have you looked at the Knowledge Base article [[Recovering important data from an old profile]]? There are steps in there that might help you. You might just want to create a new profile and start fresh.
    Hopefully this helps!

    Hi picheny. How are you printing from your iPhone. Are you using Apple's built in Airprint or the HP Eprint app? Airprint doesn't seem to have any such option. With Eprint, you can specify.

  • How to Force PDF to Print Only in Black

    I have an old HP 932C that's been working fine until recently. It quit printing blue. Bought a new cartridge and there's no difference. I've run the diagnostics for the printer--fairly primitive and no help. I probably need a new one at this point, but right now I need to print out a form I have in PDF. It's got a lot of blue in it and it prints out this sickly pinkish that just won't work. I'm just looking for a way to "force" this PDF to print only in black. Any tips?
    Also I'd love to see any advice about trying get this old printer to print blue again. The print nozzles are contained in the cartridges so changing out the color cartridge gets me new nozzles. I've inspected the electrical contact area of the cartridge holder in the printer and it looks fine.
    Thanks,
    Steve M.

    Or is there some other software that I am missing or that I could add?
    It's not in the printer driver, it's part of the OZS/Colorsync/Quartz... been so long I forget, but...
    See if in the Print Dialog you have Print settings & an option for grayscale.
    B&W is supposed to be a default filter...

  • C3180 prints only in black on OS X Maverick

    Hello guys,
      I just bought a new Macbook Pro i7 A1398 and the new OS X Maverick, I can changed my desktop or my laptop but never my (precioussss) printer All-in-One C3180. I just pluged in my Mac and the system recognized it but the printer prints only in black, no colors and bad dpi.
      Second despair: I'm very dissapointed that have no Central Solution of HP. It's that true? :-(   Newbie on Mac
    This question was solved.

    Hi Fael78RJ,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you have recently upgraded to a MacBook Pro running the new Mavericks 10.9 Operating system. You are not able to print in color with your HP Photosmart C3180, your prints are coming out in black and white only.
    Now because you are using the Mavericks OS X you must install the printer using the Apple Updates. Please click on the link below, this document explains how to install the print driver on a Mac for a USB or a network connection. The OS X v10.9 Mavericks driver for your printer is available through Apple Software Update (ASU). Additionally, you can perform basic print jobs using AirPrint without installing a driver.
    OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac
    Once you have installed the PS C3180, you may notice the features you once had are limited or there are workarounds such as not being able to access the Solution Center (yes I am afraid this is true), for scanning with or without HP Software see below:
    How to Scan: OS X v10.9
    Are you now printing in color? I hope this helps! Let me know the outcome!

    I have the original iPad and I don't have an option in Settings, General for Software Upates. The App Store only has a Spanish version. Does anyone know how I can update to iOS 5?

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

    Are you getting Airport confused with Airplay? 
    Secondly, I don't think a Mac can be used as an Airplay receiver.  You'll need an Apple TV for that.  There are third-party software packages that can turn your computer in to an Airplay receiver, but I'm not sure what the rules are about mentioning them here on Apple's forums. 
    Hint: google "airplay software"
