How to omit color cartridge and yet be able to print on an HP Officejet 6110 all-in-one

I rarely print in color, but after a while, the color cartridge has to be replaced because, I suppose, the ink dries up. Without the color cartridge in place, the machine says I have to insert a cartridge and will not allow me to print with only the black cartridge in place. Does anyone know how I can bypass the color cartridge requirement?

Hi,
HP do not provide any USB connection solution for iOS.
As Active Print is a 3rd party application which provide this functionality, i believe you may find a better help within Active Print support as they more familier with their application requirement and functionality:

How can I use Active Print on my Ipad and print to my usb connected HP officejet 6110 all in one

I was previously able to use Active Print on my Ipod to print to my usb connected HP officejet 6110 all in one. Now, however, with my Ipad version 2 I can no longer get this to work. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Hp 6110 all-in-one always prints in color on Windows 8

I would like to print some color documents in grayscale. But I am finding that no matter what settings I use in the Print dialog panel, my documents always come out in color. I am in Windows 8.1. For example, in Microsoft Word, if you go to File->Print, the Settings list contains options for which pages to print, one-sided or two-sided, collated, etc., but there is nothing for color vs. grayscale. So, if you then click a "Printer Properties" link, you get the detailed 6110 dialog panel with multiple tabs containing the full range of printer options. Within that, if you select the "Color" tab, you can check the "Print in Grayscale" box. Click "OK" to close the detailed printer dialog, which brings you back to the Microsoft Word printer dialog, where you can then click "Print". Document still comes out in color. I have verified a similar behavior when priting color PDF documents - there is no way to make them come out in grayscale.
I suspect the driver is also not respecting my specification to use "Fast Nornal" print quality.
So, a very clever strategy for HP to sell more ink! Can you please provide a fix?
Thanks

Hi @UsedToWorkInHPL,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that your HP Officejet 6110 all-in-one always prints in color on Windows 8. I am happy to look into this for you!
According to your printer's specifications found at this website, Printer Specifications for HP Officejet 6100 Printer Series. This printer is only supported for these Operating Systems: Windows 98, Windows 98 SE, Windows 2000, Windows Me, Microsoft(R), Windows XP.
There is no full feature software and drivers for Windows 8.1 for this printer.
One option to try and get around this, is to assign an alternate driver, please see this post, How to Assign Alternate Print Drivers in Different Versions of Windows, by @Shane_R.
Otherwise, I would recommend to please call our phone support at 800-474-6836 for your upgrade options to a printer that has the software and drivers available for Windows 8.1. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. Country-language selector.

How do I print from my Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 to my HP Officejet J468 All-in-One printer?

I just got a Samsung Galaxy 4 Tablet and I'm trying to figure out how to print to my HP OfficeJet J4680 All-in-One. Is there an app that I need to download?

Hi,
Unfortunately your printer spec indicates that the printer is not wireless compatabile so you won't be able to use any mobile apps with this printer.
I've included the list of web connected printers here.

No color--Except when using 'Clean'...how is that possible? Officejet 4215 All in One.

I have more impossible problems with my printers these days.....
I do a 'Clean Cartridges' and everything is perfect, all 3 colors and black.
But if I then try to Color Copy that page, or print a page from IE, or print from Photoshop...no color comes out!
Some times I get a few small smudges of yellow or blue, but always zero red.
Do another Clean....and the Clean page looks perfect!!! If anything there is almost TOO much ink on the page.
So I have proven I have ink, the nozzles aren't clogged...yet it wont print?
What could possibly be the problem?
Yes, I keep checking to see if it is set to Grayscale, its not (and I do get yellow smudges sometimes)

Any ideas appreciated...

HP OfficeJet 6310 All-In-One printer won't print in color with new cartridge

HP OfficeJet 6310 All-In-One printer on a iMAC OSX version 10.9.5 system
Hello,
As I don't print in color much but had need to I discovered my printer not printing in color. I trouble shooted and even replaced with an new HP95 new from Office Depot ( I never buy refilled). The printer still won't print color but it advances the paper as if it was printing - just no ink on paper. I have cleaned thoroughly the ink jet heads, cartridge area, and run all the alignment and printer utilities. The test page print does not show color either. I have no error messages. Don't know what else to do.
thanks

Hi there @dhengr!
Thanks for contacting the HP Forums!
I can see your having a print quality issue with your HP OfficeJet 6310. I should be able to provide documentation that will help locate a resolution. You mentioned you have already tried another HP95 tri-color cartridge with no resolution. I also noticed you said that the quality report from the printer also has no color ink.
If a stand alone test report is performed from the front of the printer such a printhead cleaning or print quality report and there is no color on the page then you are likely looking at a hardware issue within the printer. I have provided a document regarding Missing, Faded, or Dull Colors on the HP Officejet 6310 All-in-One Printer. If you follow the document from start to finish and still have the same issue then I would recommend contacting our HP tech support via phone. They deal with hardware warranty and replacement options.
Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-phone-assist.html

I have set form fields as User required and yet the form still prints/save when empty.

I have set form fields as User required and yet the form still prints/save when empty. I also have an email button on the form but that works correctly by not allowing the user to email the form with the required fields empty.
What script do I need to additionally restrict both printing and saving if the required fields are empty?
You would think that just setting that option would restrict those functions the same as it does for the email button.
Please be specific with your response if you are gracious enough to offer one. I have been searching the forum all morning for the answer to this and I really didn't understand any of the solutions offered to others enough to use those in my own form.
The required fields are:
Social (social security number)
Name
Headquarters
Residence
The next question I have is if there is a way to make individual signature fields mandatory if they are digital signatures?
In other words, I don't want the individual to be able to email the form to the next person if he/she hasn't applied their digital signature.

Saving can always be done, even when mandatory fields are empty. This is by design. And that is correct. Suppose you have a big form and 2 people need to fill it out. How can you fill out a first part and then send it to the second person without saving.
Same for printing. Same for your signature fields.
What I would do, is to put a "watermark" on the form that you show on preSave and prePrint if the form is incomplete. Just a static text on your form. Then the user will see that they need to do more. Also, on preSave and prePrint, you can show a warning popup to tell the user about the missing fields. You can then still cancel their action if the user decides not to save/print anyway.

Hi screen name,
Adobe PDF printer gets installed when you install Acrobat 10 Pro.
To use this printer you need to purchase Acrobat. Once the trial period is over you cannot use the printer to create pdf files.
An alternative way for you is to utilize Microsoft's own inbuilt pdf engine.
You can simply open the file and select 'Save as' and in the type list select 'pdf'

I did a Google search on Error 1450, and it seems to be a 'lack of resources' issue within windows. Not related to iTunes.
Maybe shut down all other programs (including the TSR programs you may have loaded) and see if it helps?

HP Office Jet 8625 and HP OfficeJet 7410xi All-in-One (a) difference (b) install on one desktop

Given:
HP OfficeJet 7410xi All-in-One connected to 2 desktops (Visa and Win8.1 - 64-bit) via usb network hub (i.Connect). Able to print from both computers. Vista machine has HP Solution Center installed (able to import pictures from camera SD card, scan documents to PDF, etc).

The printer works out of the box with the "old" version of windows perfectly..." Please provide a solution if this user's solution may cause other compatibility issues?

Hello @xandux,
I would like to assist you today with the answers to the questions that you have regarding the HP Officejet Pro 8625 e-All-in-One Printer.
Q1: The print drivers for the HP Officejet Pro 8625 e-All-in-One Printer and HP Officejet 7410xi All-in-One Printer are compatible on the same computer.
For the Officejet Pro 8625 you would first run the Wireless Setup Wizard on the front panel of the printer to connect it to the network.
How to Configure Wireless:
On the printer touch screen, touch the Right Arrow () to display the second navigation screen.
Touch the Setup icon (). The Setup Menu screen displays.
Touch Network, touch Wireless Setup Wizard, and then touch Continue.
Wait while the printer searches for routers that are within range of the printer. The Select Network Name menu displays.
Scroll down the list of network names until you find the name of your network.
Touch the name of your network, and then touch OK.
If prompted, enter the WEP or WPA key. This is case sensitive.
The printer will now connect to the network.
Once your printer is successfully connected to the network than you may run the installation of your printer.
The driver package for both Windows Vista and Windows 8.1 is the same. Should you want the latest drivers for the HP Officejet 8625 on both computers please click here to download the drivers. You will need to open that link on both the Vista and the 8 Computers. Once the website opens select the Download button on the top left. Once the download is complete the installation window will pop open. The onscreen prompts will walk you through the quick and easy install. You simply select that you are connecting a Wireless printer when prompted, the installer will search and find your printer and complete the install. You simply sit back and hit 'next' a few times. For additional install assistance and documentation please click here.
I can assure you that your HP Officejet 7410xi All-in-One Printer will not be affected by the installation of the HP Officejet Pro 8625 e-All-in-One Printer as they use completely different drivers.
Q2: The HP Officejet Pro 8625 e-All-in-One Printer uses the HP Printer Assistant Software rather than the HP Solutions Center Software. The Printer Assistant Software installs with the printer. Therefore, there is no separate link available for this. The Printer Assistant will load an icon on your computer that looks like this:
Once you click on that icon you will see a similar screen to this:
Q3: The User Guide for your HP Officejet Pro 8625 e-All-in-One Printer can be found here. It is for the Officejet Pro 8610/8620/and 8630 products as they are all within the same series.
The Officejet Pro 8625 is identical to the Officejet 8620. For specific specifications for just the Officejet Pro 8620 (8625) series printer please click here.
There are slight differences between the 8610, 8620, and 8630 products.
The Officejet Pro 8610: Print speeds are slightly slow (19 ppm in black and 14.5 ppm in colour), letter size flatbed glass, no automatic duplex copies/scans. The specifications for this printer can be found here.
The Officejet Pro 8620 and Officejet Pro 8630: both models are identical with their specifications. The only difference is that the Officejet Pro 8630 comes with 2 paper trays. The specifications for the Officejet Pro 8630 can be found here.
Q4: For detailed setup and install instructions please refer to the two documents below.
For out-of-box hardware setup instructions please click here.
For installation instructions for Windows Vista and Windows 8.1 please click here.
Q5: There is no switch that should have to be altered when printing envelopes. You simply load the envelope within the paper tray and select Print, just like any other printer. For instructions on how to properly load envelopes please click here. The only issue I have seen is that people aren't 'telling' the program on the computer that the printer is printing envelopes. This may cause a 'paper mismatch' error as your machine 'thinks' it's supposed to pull letter size paper and doesn't detect that as loaded in the tray. If there was a hardware defect with the switch when the HP Officejet 8625 first came out, we are not seeing those issues now so the switch issue must have been corrected.
Q6: Because of the Printhead design within these printers, there must be ink inside the printer to print. Therefore, if you run out of yellow ink, you must replace the yellow ink to continue using your printer. Once a cartridge is empty the printer goes into a 'depleted cartridge' error state. When this happens you are not able to use any features of the printer. The best course of action would be to keep an eye on your ink levels. When you start getting prompts that your cartridge is low, have a cartridge on hand for when the ink finally does run out. What I would recommend is if you're not planning on printing a lot in colour from your computer set the 'Black Ink Only' feature under the driver to ON. If you do not have this feature enabled, when you print from your computer certain print jobs are sent to your printer as 'image' files. If a document is sent to the printer as an 'image' file the printer will use colour ink to enrich the black on the document. This causes the colour ink to run out much faster than anticipated. If you turn Black Ink Only ON only black will be used for black documents. If you want to print a colour document you simply disable the Black Ink Only feature for that specific print job.
For more information regarding why this occurs and how to set Black Ink Only please click here.
Q7: Your machine is designed to go into sleep mode after about 10-15 minutes. This is not a design flaw. Ideally, once your printer enters sleep mode, if you need to print something you simply send the print command and the printer will wake up and respond for you. Occasionally sleep mode has issues. One issue for instance is when you have a networked printer. Sometimes the routers don't send the print command to the sleeping printer properly and that causes the printer not to 'wake up'. This can be corrected with altering settings on your router. The other issue may lie with a programming issue within the printer. The best course of action to avoid sleep mode issues would be to ensure that your printer is running the latest Firmware. The latest Firmware can be downloaded here.
Q8: Again, powersave mode is the same thing as sleep mode. You should have no issues allowing your wireless Officejet 8625 to go into a sleep mode. Once the printer is asleep you simply send a print job to your printer and the printer will 'wake up' and print for you. It is rare to see 'sleep mode' or 'powersave' issues. Always keep the Firmware up to date to avoid programming issues.
Q9: Microsoft has recently released a HotFix to correct wireless printing issues as they have found printing issues within the Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 Operating Systems. This issue is not specific to HP or the HP Officejet 8625. Rather, the issue seems to affect all wireless printers on the Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 Operating Systems. The HotFix can be found here. Once the website opens you simply select the button for HotFix Download Available. Follow any onscreen prompts to install the HotFix. There has been a lot of luck with running this fix.
I hope this information helps to clear up any issues you may have. Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns. Thanks for reaching out to the HP Support Forums!

HP Officejet 4620 All in One Not Printing Black-BRAND new cartridge

Hello everyone, I am hoping SOMEONE can help me, as this has taken up hours of time and resulted in plenty of frusteration. I just replaced my black ink cartridge, and not a single drop of black ink will print. I have genuine cartridges, and cleaned the print heads, both steps one and two, atleast twice each. In the meantime I have since used up all my color ink, which is still working. But black does not show up AT ALL. Sure, I could buy more color cartridges and use them to print black, but at this point, I do not want to put any more money into this printer if it's not going to work properly. I am desperate for an solution! I run a small business from home and I NEED my printer. My warranty expired a few months ago and am really hoping I don't have to pay for phone support.
Does anyone have any advice on how to get black to print properly?? PLEASE AND THANK YOU!!!
This question was solved.

Thanks for responding. What I did today was hard wire the printer to computer. then was able to get my original printer icon back and it was set as the default printer. I deleted the other icons, they were ghosted and I didn't what to use them. the one was a online printer going back to HP. Now I have to got my son to fix the remaining problem I have, with my messing around I somehow change the Network Name on the printer. He is a computer eng working on high tech cameras and also is the administrator of my machine. He has me locked out of administrative rights and for good reason, I wrecked a couple computers and when he built this one for me that was the rule. There is a little info that I don't have to finalize the last step in changing the Network Name back. I have run the printer from the printer control panel and it did find the correct Network and Network Name but is seemed like that is far as I could go. So I'm not that far from completing this project.

I have an HP Officejet 7210 all in one printer, have loaded Printer Pro to IPad, get successful test pages in the Print Pro App but can't print emails (or anything). error message is No AirPrinter found. How can I get connected?

I have an HP OfficeJet 7210 all in one printer, have loaded Printer Pro and had a successful test while in Printer Pro. When I try to print and email I get NO AIR PRINTER message, How can I connect my printer to my IPad and print emails.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If you're using the Printer Pro app, you're not going to use AirPrint services.
They are not the same thing.
Are you using the 'Open In' option to get the email into Printer Pro for printing?
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/printer-pro/id393313223?mt=8
Once installed, Printer Pro appears in the "Open In..." list on your device. This lets you print documents from Mail, Safari, ReaddleDocs and many other applications on your iPad that supports this function.
Using "Open In..." approach you can print files from many popular online storages: Dropbox, MobileMe iDisk, GoogleDocs. It just a matter of several taps to download your file via free Dropbox, iDisk or Google Docs application and send it to printer.
