How do i get the 8600 to print in only black ink?

How do I set the HP Pro 8600 Plus to print only in black ink?  I have tried  the "enable" option for black ink only under Preferences/Advanced but it doesn't seem to work.  Still keeps printing in color.
This question was solved.

Did you set the Grayscale option to Black Ink Only?

  • How do I get my 8600 premium printer to auto select between tray 1 and tray 2?

    How do I get my 8600 premium printer to auto select between tray 1 and tray 2? Right now, i have to pull out tray 1 to get the printer to feed tray 2.

    Hi Retrotriker,
    Follow the steps below to properly configure your paper trays.
    1. Touch (right arrow), touch Setup, touch Preferences, and then select Default Tray
    2. Select Tray 2 as the Default tray
    3. Open Printers and Faxes
    4. Right click on printer, and then select Printer Properties
    5. Click on Device Settings tab
    6. On this screen set the media type you have assigned to each tray (Example: tray 1 - Envelopes & Tray 2 - Letter)
    7. Click Apply, and then Ok
    8. When you have an envelope you are printing it will pull from Tray 1
    9. When you have a letter you are printing it will pull from Tray 2

  • How do I get The ipad locked to run only one application for customers (perhaps a webapp)

    how do I get The ipad locked to run only one application for customers (just one web app, or video- instructions, or just safari). What I really want is that my customers to only use one app that has all my services. It is an interactive app so I would not like them to go surfing elsewhere while they are in my store.
    Is it possible to do this on the iPad ?

    This was part of the original thread you responded too but I have branched out your discussion to make it more specific.  This is already discussed under the Touch Apps FAQ - http://www.adobe.com/products/touchapps/faq.html.  Here is the relevant excerpt:
    Customers who sign up for an annual membership to Creative Cloud or who buy a 12-month prepaid card at a retailer or online store will be eligible for a free month of Creative Cloud when they purchase and sign in from three qualifying Adobe Touch Apps from Google Play or the Apple App Store. This includes Adobe Collage, Adobe Debut, Adobe Ideas, Adobe Kuler, Photoshop Touch, and Adobe Proto.
    Customers who purchase an annual membership directly from Adobe and qualify for this offer will not be charged for the month of service following sign-in from their third Adobe Touch App. 
    Customers who purchase a 12-month prepaid card from a retailer or online store and qualify for this offer will have one month added to the duration of their membership.
    Creative Cloud members will be notified about their free month within 60 days of signing in to their third qualifying Adobe Touch App

  • How do I get the date to print at the bottom right of a page

    fI can't get the date to print at the bottom of a page. I go to page setup and header/footer and ensure that date/time is entered into the lower right corner box and the date still doesn't print on a page.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Try setting your bottom margin on File > Page Setup > Header & Footer to .3 or .4
    You probably are not seeing the date at the bottom in Print Preview either.
    On my system, with HP 6200 series, I experience the same problem if my bottom margin is set to 0 (zero).
    You may experience the same problem with headers with a 0 (zero) top margin.

  • How can I get the Serial No. if I only have the IMEI??

    My friend bought an iPhone 4s and it has been stolen form his car,,
    He has the bill with his name and IMEI only, so how can he get the serial number
    to register the product in his Support profile??
    try tracking his iPhone with help of Apple if possible

    Alternatively, if he ever synched the iPhone to his computer, he can launch iTunes, go to the Preferences, select Devices, and hover the cursor over the backup file for the iPhone. That should show him the serial number.
    Regards.

  • How do I get the HP Smart Print icon back in the toolbar?

    The HP Smart Print icon used to appear in the Firefox toolbar. I had to reload Firefox. the icon no longer appears. How do I get it back? I am using Windows 7.

    HP Smart Print (formerly HP Smart Web Printing) is supported only in <u>IE 6 and later and is no longer supported on any other browser</u> ---- that was a decision made by HP, not Mozilla.

  • When Printing a message from mail, How do I get the Icons to print?

    When printing an email message, I'd like the attachment's icon to print so I can see what the file types and the names of those attachments are.
    How can I do this?
    I DO NOT WANT to print the attachment, only the icon to be displayed wnen printing.

    How about just the file name of the attachment? How can I get this to print?
    I need this to print in order to match up saved attachments to the respective messages when preflighting incoming files and then distributing hard copies.

  • HT2513 How do I get the location to print in the monthly view?

    Is there a way to get the location to show as well as print in the monthly view?  The events that I'm concerned about are 'all day' events in a separate calendar.

    Rich media in PDF isn't designed for print workflows so you cannot control what appears - you should just get a bitmap 'screenshot' of whatever the viewport was displaying at the time.

  • How do I get the weather widget to show only today in the notification center?

    When I purchased my iPhone 4S, the notification center listed today's weather at my location. Several weeks ago it some how switched to showing the weekly forecast. What do I need to do to make the notification center show only today's weather? I have checked settings and can find nothing that controls this feature. My roommate bought his iPhone 4S at the same time I did, and his still shows only today's weather.
    Thanks

    I have the same problem!
    I have today's summary on in notification center but get no weather info at all in the notification center. I have the location turned on for weather as well.
    I have tried a reboot to no avail.

  • How can i get the order form to display only those fields selected by user?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm a newbee so please bear with me.
    I would like to create an interactive form in a multi-page format. I would like to display our fifty odd products, divided into 5 different categories. The client browses through these pages then selects those that he wants to buy.
    The interactive order form at the end should display only the client’s choices along with the Total purchase order.
    In short, a little like a on-line catalogue and cart/basket that we see while buying online.
    Now, I've created my pdf brochure, and I have the order form on page 12-13 at the end with the subtotal, Vat and Total ...all that's fine. My only problem is I want the order form to display only those items selected by the user and not the entire list of items as shown in my current order form.
    Have a look at my pdf here http://www.upperside.fr/vijee/mpls09ex/EXHIBITOR%20SPECIAL%20ORDERS2010.pdf
    Can someone please help me/guide me to the right resources that I need to look up to achieve my end result.
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    Vijee

    The poster already posted at the Acrobat Users Community, Interactive Forms that sums up a client order from catalog. The sample form posted to Acrobat.com was a revision of the sample form that came with Acrobat 4.0. There are some fairly advance scripts, templates, and document level functions involved with this form.

  • How do I setup my printer to print with only black ink in a pages document

    How do I setup a document to use black ink only in Pages?

    This is a Printer setting, rather than a Document one.
    For my Canon Inkjet, it's done in the Print Dialogue:
    As you can see from the second pop-up menu, I have saved this setting as a preset.
    The setting itself has only a single change from the supplied "Standard" setting—checking the Grayscale Printing checkbox.
    Going by appearances, the printer uses only the Black cartridge when printing in this mode, unless I have set "Use color cartridge" in the printer's utility software, a setting intended to allow you to print using only one cartridge when the other is out of ink. Greyscale printing using only the colour cartridge has less contrast, and usually shows a colour cast. Setting the printer utility to specify using only the K cartridge shows results essentially the same as those done in grayscale using the Print dialogue setting and not bothering to change the printer utility setting.

  • Printing with only black ink

    when i bought the hp 8600 officejet pro plus,  i was toil that you didnt have to replace the empty color catridges to print in black ink only.  i have jsut found out that is not true.  is there a way to make printer print without replacing collor cartridges?

    Most likely the confusion is caused because the Office Depot sales person and the bushiness associate did not distinguish between the different kinds of printers.
    There are generally a few different technologies used for inkjet printers - those like the Deskjet 6940 that have printheads and ink supplies integrated together are called Integrated Print Head (IPH) printers.
    Another style has separate individual ink supplies and printheads.  This style has printheads that may be permanent and non-replaceable, or they may be replaceable after some number of ink supplies.  These are called Individual Ink Cartridge (IIC) printers.   An Examples are the Photosmart C7280, which has permanent non-replaceable printheads and the Officejet 8600 and 6700 which have replaceable printheads.
    Most IPH printers will happily print with one (or even both) cartridges low on ink or empty.  Recent models will often allow printing even if one of the cartridges is removed completely, switching automatically to "reserve mode" or "ink backup mode". 
    IIC printers have long life printheads and generally have plumbing to connect the ink supplies to the printheads.  These printers (whether from HP or other manufacturers) generally require ink available in all colors to prevent air bubbles in the plumbing ar printhead.  Some ink is also required to keep the nozzles from clogging.  Even in the case of printing black only the color printheads are waving around in the air and may dry out.  Some ink is required to keep the printhead from drying out.
    The document here has some information on how ink is used.

  • C5380 - I want to print using ONLY black ink cartridge. Is this possible?

    Hi Folks,
    I now understand that this model, HP C5380 and I'm guessing many others too, are programed to use an amount of colour ink even when selected to print in Black. 
    My question is:  Can I somehow program the printer to 'only print using the black ink cartridge' and not use the colour cartridges at all?
    I have heard that this is possible with some models but need the specifics.
    I am even willing to permanently disable the colour function if needed. The replacement ink catridges are so very expensive, if I'm unable to do this then I'll be looking for another printer and it won't be HP.  Thi is unfortunate because I think they make a good quality product - however they need to be on notice that their customers 'good will' and return business will not be forthcoming when they (and other compaines) continue to use money making strategies like this. 
    Many Thanks in advance for your time, B

  • Simple question, how do I get the date to print on pictures? Using IPhoto 11

    I just want to print a my husband's photo's with the date on it. IPhoto does not show how and I am new to Apple. Please help with this very simple or should be function.

    Well, I usually do not want a time stamp on my photos; however, I had occasion to take some pics to prove damage in a warranty claim, so I changed the settings to include the date and had absolutely no problem with that process on my Mac. I use Canon cameras. I do not use Canon software and you do not need camera software either. Unlike Windows, the Mac can read camera cards without the help of additional software and it  includes Image Capture - if iPhoto doesn't do what you want - try Image Capture to get your pics on the desktop and then simply open one with Preview to see if you can see the time stamp. If you can see it, it should be printed.
