  • D7360 won't print in "Black Only", unless color cartridges are also non-empty

    I'm trying to print a document in grayscale mode using D7360 Photosmart printer.
    In the printing setup dialog am explicitly checking the option to use "Black Print Cartridge Only".
    The printer refuses to print, saying:
    "The following ink cartridges are empty: Light Cyan. Replace these ink cartridges to resume printing."
    "The printer does not have enough ink to ensure printer's health. The empty ink cartridges must be replaced to resume."
    Does this mean that even though it is not using the color cartridges, all of them have to be non-empty when the printer is operating?
    This question was solved.

    I think I solved the problem for my PC. I put in a new black cartridge but my color cartridge is empty. My printouts started looking awful and were trying to print in blue. I went to the printer area of the control panel and requested grey scale only. Suddenly my printouts look great, as they did before. I'm running Vista on a Compaq with an HP deskjet D1560 printer.

  • How do i print in black only

    Product Name - HP Officejet 6500A Plus
    Operating System - Windows 7
    I do not have an Error Message.  I would like to find out how I can print using Black Ink only.  I have not made any changes in my system.  This is the first time I have attempted to do this and have not found a way.  I could not locate the tool box which I assume would allow me to do this.

    how do I print in black only pritnting color documents from files in computer or color documents from internet?

  • Officejet j5780 all-in-one; print in Black only

    I do not require color print capability on my j5780, I want to print in Black only (I also own a Photosmart 6380 for color needs). 
    A new Black cartridge has been installed and the spent tri-color cartridge has been left in-place.
    PROBLEM: The printer's LED window now displays the message "Cartridge error: Cartridge on the left [i.e. tri-color] must be replaced." 
    Prior to replacing the Black cartridge I was able to print in Black only; now, it appears that capability has been lost. I do not want to install a new tri-color cartridge (particularly at HP's price) just to restore Black-only print capability.
    QUESTION: Is it possible to reset, or otherwise over-ride, the printer's color cartridge requirement to in order to achieve Black-only printing?   

    Hello DisgustedOne,
    What may have happened is that while you were printing in black only, the black ink may have ran out, then the printer started using the tri-color cartridge to create black. When the tri-color cartridge ran out, you replaced the black, but are still getting an error to replace the tri-color cartridge.
    Some HP printers allow for what is called backup mode, where the printer only uses one of the two cartridges, an example can be found in the following link:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01625311&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
    There are a couple things you can try:
    1. Set the printer to print in black only (can be done in the printer prefs, usually under a grayscale setting)
    2. Take out the color cartridge altogether and see if it will print.
    If both of those options fail, unfortunately, you will need to replace the color cartridge.

  • How to set default printing in black only

    Greetings,
    I'd like to set my default printing with Firefox at black ink only, which I can do individually prior to printing a page, but it reverts to color after that printing. But if I set the size at, say, 80%, that becomes the default setting, or if I set portrait/landscape for a single printing, that becomes the default setting. Why can't the desired black-ink only setting default like the size/portrait/landscape setting? What I want to do is set the printing permanently at black only, and the size at 100%, but allow one-time printing at landscape or portrait, or sizes less than 100% without those settings becoming the default. How can I do this? Thanks for any help
    Best wishes, Tom
    I've tried the help solutions on the website to no avail....

    Greeting ideato,
    Thanks so much for your reply. I've clicked on the Firefox button at upper left, then Print, then Properties, then Advanced, under which is listed Printer Features (I have only 1 printer), below which is a line with Print in Grayscale, clicking on which has has 3 options: Off (apparently default), High quality Grayscale, and Black Ink Only. I click on the latter, and click on OK for this window and others in the sequence, and it'll print in black only for the present printing, but will revert to color for the next printing, 'though like I said, if I change the size to 80% or from portrait to landscape, those settings will remain. I can't figure it out. Again, thanks for any help.
    Regards, Tom

  • Can I really not print in black only when the cyan cartridge is empty?

    I have a message that the cyan cartridge is empty and that I cannot print until it is replaced. It's a new cartridge, less than a month old. I took it out and shook it, and can tell there's plenty of toner left. But my primary question is, why can't I print in black only without the cyan cartridge being replaced?

    Hi,
    Any ink is required to maintain the printhead and service the printer.
    Print head nozzles get clogged over time, most commonly by microscopic dust particles or dried ink. Nozzles are kept clean by servicing, including wiping the surface with a small rubber wiper, ejecting ink through the nozzles to purge particles and to prevent drying and pumping with ink to clean the print head. To keep the printer ready to print in either colour or black, these service routines typically consume some ink from every cartridge, even if only black or colour is used in the document being printed.
     Oce the is not enough ink to service the printhead any depleted ink cartridge must be replaced to resume prnting:

  • Only want to use Black ink, not color

    I have used all pro 8500 with black ink only. other colors are empty . I dont want to print with color and only Black ink needed. black ink is full but still calling out needs ink fill

    The Officejet 8500 has separate ink supplies and printheads.  When printing (even in black only) the color portions of the printhead are waving around in the air and would dry out and clog if no color ink was available.  For this printer you will need to replace the color ink to allow printing.
    HP and other printer manufacturers have different printer technologies for different needs.  For inkjet printers:
    Some have printheads built into the ink cartridges.  These printers can typically print with one or more of the colors completely empty, or even with color or black (but not both) cartridges removed. The Officejet 8040a is an example.
    Other printers have separate ink supplies and replaceable printheads.  An example would be the Officejet 8500 printer.  The printhead in these printers can be replaced if they are damaged by running the printhead with colors out.  Some of these printers will allow printing with a color out, other will not.  If the printer is run without ink in one or more colors the printer may be damaged, but the user may be able to recover without having to send the printer for service.
    Other printers have permanent printheads.  To run these without some ink in all the colors would risk causing damage to the printhead due to clogs, air ingested in the printhead or burned out printhead firing resistors. The Officejet 6700 is an example of this type of printer. For printers with fixed printheads this could require service to get the printer to print properly again when the ink is finally replaced.  
    The document here describes how ink is used.  While the document is written for HP Inkjet printers the same principles apply to inkjet printers from other manufacturers.
    If you never print in color a laser printer would likely be a better choice.  If you occasionally print color but mostly black an IPH printer like those in the first category above may be a good choice.

  • Setting Default printing as Black only

    I know how to enable printing in black only using printer properties and colour ->greyscale-> in black ink only.But that setting lasts only for that session/ file being printed. If I load another file or another session the default goes back to colour. Even if I make a printing short cut that short cut gets saved but is not the default. I have solved the problem by removing the colour cartridge and the printer prints in black only even if I do not change the setting from "colour". This works but is there any other elegant solution? Regards S S Kini 

    Hi , I see by your post that the black only settings is only working for one session. I would like to help you.
    Did you download and install the HP Deskjet F4200/F4224 All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Driveror are you using the preinstalled Windows drivers? I have provided a document for setting the default printer settings for a single job and for all print jobs. Most likely this is the way you have set the black only.HP Deskjet, Officejet, and Photosmart Printers and All-in-Ones - Changing Print Settings in Windows 8. If the black only isn't holding the setting in the print driver, I would suggest to uninstall and reinstall the print drivers. They might have become corrupted. If you appreciate my efforts, please click the 'Thumbs up' button below. Thank You.
