HP Officejet 6700 Premium, Won't print in black ink only
Hello I have a officejet 6700 premium and im running windows 7 home. I recently ran out of the color cartridge yellow but i cannot afford to replace it right now and would like to know if there is a way to print only in black when my color cartridges are depleted. I tried selecting 'only black ink' under setting but when I tried to print it said i must replace the yellow cartridge before I can resume printing. Please help!
The Officejet 6700 premium has separate printheads and ink supplies, with plumbing to connect them. If one of the colors has run out completely printing will be blocked as ink is needed to keep the printhead from clogging. While printing even black only the printhead would be waving around in the air and the color portion of the printhead could become clogged if there were not sufficient ink available for servicing. Sorry, but you will need to replace the color cartridge.
The document here decribes how ink is used in HP (and other) inkjet printers. In the language of that document the Officeejt 6700 is an IIC printer.

No option to print in black only
PROBLEM:
Do not have an option to print with BLACK ink only.
Background:
Have a Photosmart D5160 printer.
Up until a few weeks ago experienced no problems with printer. Then installed non-HP ink carts and experienced some faults. About this same time, the PRINTER PROPERTIES box change to a different, four tab format: ADVANCED, PRINTING SHORTCUTS, FEATURES, and COLOR. The old PROPERTIES box displayed four printer options: DRAFT MODE, Black & WHITE, COLOR, and GRAYSCALE.
I have since installed new HP ink carts, and the problem persists.
Deinstalled and reinstalled, several times, the printer itself and software from the CD, followed by d/loading updated drivers from HP. All without resolving my problem.
Two questions:
1 - How can I restore the old properties option box?
2 - How can I print with black ink only with the new property box?
Thank you, in advance, for your response and assistanceI found it:

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.

HP2055 prints solid black lines how do I clear this?
When printing to HP2055 any html web page results in output looking like redaction (thick black lines running entire width of page - some have texture but mostly solid black). Does not happen with any other printer. Replaced drivers. Deleted and reinstalled Firefox. Wiped profiles folder under /local. problem persists. Can print other apps fine such as WORD. only happens with Firefox to 2055.
Check print margins.
#In order to check the margins, we need to go to ''File'' > ''Page Setup''.
#Once this is done, switch to the ''Margins & Header/Footer'' tab.
#Check what's set there under ''Margins''.
The following are the default values for ''Margins'':
'''Right''': 12.7
'''Top''': 12.7
'''Left''': 12.7
'''Bottom''': 12.7
Check these values accordingly and change them if necessary. -

There is no option on my MG8100 printer to print in black only. Grayscale uses all colours to print
I have a MG8100 and it seems that there is no way to print in black and white only. The grayscale option uses all the colours including black to print. I have scoured the web and there appears to be no solution. I have gone through a ton of colour ink just printing black and white documents. It has cost me a fortune and I've worked out that I can print my black and white documents cheaper by going to the print shop. As far as I am concerned this unbelievable. A printer that doesn't give you the option to print using black ink only, when you want to print documents! And its not advertised or made known in any way. You have to buy the product and then find out later that it does not have a black and white print option. It seems there are a lot of people out there that are unhappy about this, and the "problem" seems to go quite far back. Why haven't Canon responded by adding this feature?! I wont say it here, but I think it must be obvious. Brings to mind the story of housecleaning product manufacturers that increase the size of the closures so that consumers will use more of the product, which is actually wasteful, so as to shorten the purchase cycle. This leaves a really bad taste in my mouth. I'm flogging my MG8100, and I am done with Canon for good!
Hi everybody, I have 2 Pixma printers, a MG8100 and a MG5300, they are quite good if you print in colorBeware if you want to print in B&W when the colors tanks are empty, the printer will simply lock itself and forbid any printing before you replace the 3 (or 4 on MG8100) color tanks. This is stupid for you but a good way to force a customer to buy stuff he doesn't need. Even if you are not printing a lot of color tasks (I do 80% B&W) those tanks are emptying very (I mean very) fast.Based on other reports I tried with or without grayscale settings, with or without duplex, I even removed the empty color tanks to try to indicate the printer that I just wanted B&W, no way. Dear Canon, there is a B&W button on those printers for scan and copying usage, why don't you extend it for printing ? Another issue worth reporting, there are 2 B&W tanks on those printers, for some reason the printer doesn't use the big one when the small is empty or the other way around but reserve one for some tasks (like grayscale and color tuning) and the other one for pure B&W, so you may have to replace a B&W tank when the other one is full, clearly Canon wants you to buy a lot of ink :-)

Everything I send to eprint (using google cloud print) prints double sided. How do I stop this?
Everything I send to eprint (using google cloud print) prints double sided. How do I stop this? I'm using an HP Officejet Pro 8600
thanks,Hello kanataorganics,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I see that when you use ePrint, via Google Cloud printing, the documents are printed two-sided. Are you using a computer, mobile device, Chromebook, etc, to access the printer?
If you print from a computer, for example, not using Google Cloud print or ePrint, does it print two-sided on its own?
You can check the Eco setting on the printer's front panel to ensure that the two-sided options are set to "Off".
Check to make sure the printer has the most recent updates installed on the printer, Getting the Latest Firmware and Product Updates.

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 -
I have a full cartridge of black ink. I am out of one of the colors. Can I print in black only or do I need to replace the color cartridge in order for my printer to work?
Hello there! Welcome to the forums @dragoness911
I saw your post about the question you had about if your Officejet 6600 will print with one of the cartridges depleted.
I wanted to share this document with you, and let you know that no, the printer cannot print with one cartridge depleted.

Status check confirms that the ink level is all good but when I try to print it says the printer is out of color ink and must print is black only. It was fine yesterday so I tried to restore but that didn't help. Rebooted computer and printer but that didn't help either.
Hi Littlemudder,
Sorry you've had to run up and down the stairs for a week. You might take a look in Devices and Printers and under Printing Preferences for your printer, open Advanced settings. Open the option for grayscale and see if there is an option for Black Ink Only. Grayscale will use more color than Black Ink Only. That may help some if that option is available.
Once you replace the color ink you can keep the same setting and use less color ink. You should stop receiving the message you mentioned. The printer will still use some color ink and this helps insure the printer's ability to successfully print in color when you need it to.
Also, remember a click on the Kudos star to the left is a quick "Thanks" for a helpful post.
