HP 7515 prints only from photo cartridge

When I ran out of black ink, I discovered I've been printing from the photo ink cartridge. I can't figure out how to change to the regular cartridge for my Mac (OS 10.9). I have referred to previous questions on this but cannot find the advanced print preference option that includes selecting grey scale, then black. I just reinstalled the printer driver. Thanks for any assistance.

I think I was able to find why you only have those few options in the print dialogue window. In my screen shot, in the bottom left corner it says "Hide Details". I believe yours will read "Show Details", push that and see if this gets the rest of the options.
Cheers,

Hi @Vickile
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I understand that you are unable to access the eFax on your Photosmart 7515 printer.
I have included a link to a post by @PrintApper regarding eFax titled eFax users - please read. It has the information regarding the eFax feature.

Black Ink Printing from Photo Cartridge Only

I've had the Photosmart Premium for about 6 months now and while it does a great job it prints black from the photo cartridge only. I've replaced it several times already and have not printed that many photos. Most of my printing is text only. I have looked at the settings, changed the settings, etc. multiple times and still can't get it fixed. Please help!!

If you are printing on plain paper make sure plain paper is selected in the paper/quality settings. The pigmented black ink sill not be used for printing when photo paper is selected.

Printer prints from photo cartridge

I have a 7520 with plenty of ink in the black cartridge. The photo cartridge is empty because I realize now that when printing documents the printer has been using and still wants to us the ink from the photo cartridge. Now when I print something it is blank. I have checked the settings on my computer and the printer and cannot figure out how to get the printer to print from the black cartridge.
This question was solved.

Hi,
Select "Black Ink Only" from Grayscale option printer will use black ink only. If select Grayscale or colors to prin B&W, printer needs to use photo ink. Please note: You still need all ink cartridges when print Black ink Only. The setup may vary from printer to printer but basically (for Windows):
(a) Double click printer icon on desktop,
(b) Click Set Preferences,
(c) Click Advanced,
(d) Select "Black Ink only" for Print in Grayscale
(e) Click Apply/Ok ...

HI,

I would like to print only with the black cartridge even if I want to print from a phone or tablet, or for anyone that wants to use the printer and doesn't know how to set up the printer to print only in black.
Thank you.

Printing only partial photos

I'm working on an iBook G4 and printing to a HP all-in-one 6100 series printer. I am sending a photo 4x6 size, two to a page to the printer. Sometimes it prints fine, then other times it only prints a sliver of the picture and then the printer seems to freeze. Any fix for this? I'm wasting lots of photo paper! Thanks in advance!

@Druffer, Welcome to the Forums!
If you were to save the attachment to your computer, you should have more options within your settings to print only the pages you need, opposed to the entire document that you may not fully need. You should see these options in programs such as Microsoft Word.
I hope this helps, if you need any further assistance, please let me know!

I have a Mac with OS 10 5.8 and a new HP Pro 8500 Premier Printer. When printing, how do I change the print option from photo paper to plain or inkjet? This is a serious problem and HP tells me it is a problem with Firefox, that they are getting several

I used to be able to choose print options with Firefox and now I can't. It forces me to use photo paper when I want only to use plain paper. I do not have this problem with Safari or IE, just firefox. I have an office jet 4500 HP printer

I should add that it's an HP photosmart 4280.I found it online and it shows the Mac 0SX operating system.

Having problem with washed out prints only from Lightroom 5

Hi,
I have just gone over the Lightroom 5 and printing to an Epson Pro 3800. Background:
Fuly colour manage screen
Use Windows 7 64 bit
Using latest drivers
Only problem when printing from Lightroom 5, not PS CS5 or Nikon Capture NX2
Same result whether print via LR5 (with printer CM turned off) or via Printer CM (with LR5 turned off)
I cannot see any obvious issues or problems, so would be great if someone could assist!
Thanks
Krytten

Now sorted - had to reinstall the drivers. Never had this before...

Any easy way to print envelopes from photo tray?

I have a new C309 printer that works well printing from three different PCs. What I want to do is load the photo tray with a few #10 envelopes so that I can print one without having to change out paper in the main tray.
The problem is, by the time I make the changes to Properties to print from the photo tray, I might as well have swapped things in the main tray. (I have to declare that I'm printing postcards or it won't let me specify the photo tray).
Does anyone have a suggestion for how to multiplex between printing letters and printing envelopes?

Address Book itself has the ability to print out labels - I'm not sure whether you have OS X 10.4 or 10.5, but there are more options in 10.5. From Address Book, select your desired addresses (or make a group of them and select that) and go to File - Print. You'll see the label options there.

When I print to Canon 100 Pro using Photoshop elements 12 for Mac, do not get true color as when I print straight from photo

When I print using Macbook and Adobe Elements 12 on Canon 100Pro, do not get true color. When I download a photo and print from the download, I get true color. Where do I start to fix issue? It appears to be a Photoshow issue rather than Macbook or Canon 100 Pro.

Partial printing only from Adobe Reader via Server 2008 print spooler

Hi there,
We've recently set up a new print server for our school. It's running Windows Server 2008 (not R2) 32 bit. We have 8 printers, which are all HP LaserJet P2035n.
All printing works fine, except for PDF files from Adobe Reader. PDF files from Adobe Reader go through the print server with no visible errors, however they print strangely.
Often there will be a blank page at the start. Generally they will not print all pages (e.g. 4/10 or so) and they will cause the printer to error.
We do not get this problem using other PDF readers or with the Google Chrome PDF plugin.
Could you please provide some troubleshooting steps? Based on elimination, it seems to be something to do with the way Adobe Reader communicates with either the print server or the printer, causing some type of malformed request.
Thanks,
Andrew

Print only in black ink

HP Photosmart D7100 Printer series.podoshli the end of the yellow and red ink, but you need very urgently to print a document. have the opportunity to transfer print only the black cartridge?

Lilbai wrote:
Bob, thanks for confirming what HP says the printer does and doesn't do. If however, I want to print in pure black, which appears to be an option provided by the printer, does the printer require the use, rather than the presence, of colour ink to print? HP says colour ink will be drawn by the printer when the level of black ink is low but my black ink is half full and I still can't print in black only. Why would any company make a printer whose printheads will be damaged due to the absence of ink in cartridges which are not used in a printing job? I just do not understand. Has HP told consumers in its manuals or on its website the fact that black only printing is not possible without the use or presence of colour ink in these printers?
First, I do not work for or speak for HP, I am simply explaining how printers with separate printheads and ink supplies work. The printheads require fresh ink in each color to prevent clogging of the printheads. The printhead assembly contains both the black and color printheads. Consider a print job that is going to print only black. The color printheads are still being waved about in the air and will dry out and clog unless they are serviced during and after the printing has completed. This servicing requires ink because that is the only fluid available for the printheads. If printing were allowed without any color ink available for servicing the printheads could become clogged to an extent that they require (expensive) replacement. Every company that uses fixed or semipermanant inkjet printheads has similar constraints.
If you need a printer that will allow printing with one or more colors empty or removed then get a printer with the printheads included with the ink supplies. On these devices the printhead is replaced with each new cartridge so it is possible to print with one or more colors missing without risking damage to the printer.

I imported a photo from my email to my iphoto but now my HP printer is printing my documents from the photo cartridge. How do I get my printer to print using the regular black cartrigde.

I imported a photo from my email to my iphoto. I am on a Mac OSX version 10.6.8. But now my HP printer 7510 is printing my documents with the photo cartridge rather than the regular black cartridge. How do I correct this.

Seems like an odd question for an iPhoto forum and more one for an HP forum.

New HP Photosmart 7520 won't print from photo tray

EDIT: It will feed from the phototray if I print the photo from the Windows Photo Viewer. However, it still refuses to print straight from the jpg, even though I explicitly specify in all the settings that I want to print a 4x6 from the photo tray. Is this typical behavior? I assume it would print correctly from other photo editing and viewing software, but haven't checked that yet so cannot be certain. PREVIOUS POST: I just got this printer, and cannot make it print from the photo tray. It printed from the phototray during the installation and setup, but that was the only time. The rest of the time, when I try to print a picture, it only selects from the regular paper tray. Is there some magical procedure involved? I have a Windows 7 operating system, and just installed everything from the HP site. I uninstalled and reinstalled, but still it doesn't work. I load a sheet in the phototray, make sure the correct printer is set, select the paper size (in this case 4x6in, the sample photo paper that came with the printer), select HP Everyday Photo Paper, Glossy, click Print, and the printer ignores the phototray and prints from the regular paper tray. I have scoured the web and the answers provided do not solve the problem. This is very frustrating. If I cannot get this resolved in another day or two, I will be returning this printer and will try a different brand.

I have already looked at that link and tried all the things I can try at home, aside from replacing the print heads. Nothing works. The magenta seems to be the biggest offender. When I print photos that have a lot of magenta in them, I also get the horizontal lines, so it is not just the regular paper used by the printer's quality report (my first suspicion, sadly proven wrong). I see now that this printer also cuts off the image when printing a borderless photo. I have not found a solution for that yet, either. It also went crazy in the middle of a print job (told me that I needed to power it off, lost its wireless connection, regained its connection, but would not talk to the computer). I had to turn it off and on again to reset it, and after that it seemed to print, at least. This printer has been a very expensive mistake, considering the ink and paper I have gone through in the past week. I have four days to decide if I want to return it and just eat the cost of the ink cartridges. I am seriously considering it at this point, but will try to work things out for another day or two.
