HP Officejet Pro 8600: How do I get my printer to print black and white when sending it an email?

Whenever I send my printer an email, it automatically prints it in color. Is there a way to set it so that it can print in black and white?

Hi Beemo,
I see that you're wanting to print in black ink only.
I have a couple of questions for you.
Are you trying to print black ink only while using ePrint?
Are you trying to use black ink only when printing from computer?

My printer HP Officejet pro 8600 plus makes a lot of noise while printing

My HP officejet pro 8600 plus, makes a lot of noise while printing, ink levels are ok, and printing is ok. it was makiing lines before but not anymore

Hi,
Check first if the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet.
Check if the carriage is moving freely and there is no obstructions inside the unit.
Clean the paper rollers once.
See if doing these helps you
Thanks

How can I print with the black and white cartridge only?

I am trying to print using the black and white cartridge only because magenta is out of ink but I'm getting the following error message in HP Photosmart C7200 series print dialog:
The printer is out of ink.
The following ink cartridges are empty: Magenta. Replace these ink cartridges to resume printing.

I am absolutely disgusted by this; clearly a scam from HP to make more money by selling extra ink cartridges!! I will make sure to never buy any products from the shoddy rip off merchants at HP ever again!!
You should be ashamed!!

How to colorize parts of a picture in black and white with Aperture?

Hello, I have a question: How to colorize parts of a picture in black and white with Aperture?

Use the Black & White Brick and then brush in or brush out.

Officejet Pro 8600 not able to be set as default printer

I've just installed the Officejet Pro 8600 on my wireless network. It was added correctly using WPS andindicated no problems found on the wireless network test results that the printer did. All items were listed as 'PASS'. It is showing up in the device and printers on my Windows7 64-bit machine. When I right-click on the printer icon, it does not allow me any option to set it as my default printer and it also doesn't show up as an available printer from any application to print (like from MS Office). The device driver was auto-located by Windows, so there is also no option for me to update it. Anyone have a solution for what I need to do to get the printer available to actually print too?? Thanks.

Hi,
I had a smiliar problem for the same printer that I bought just yesterday.
Despite numerous troubleshooting tasks, I was still unable to make the printer my default one.
I tried
- switching from wireless to USB connected
- uninstalling and reinstalling
- cleaning registry entires as directed here:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup-e-g-Windows-8/Cannot-Set-HP-Officejet-...
- running troubleshooting wizards and more...
So... after yet another re-installation, I went here:
https://h30495.www3.hp.com/help/about
and clicked on Printer Support under Additional Help (down at the bottom)
- choose North America
- choose HP Support - United States (English) --> Product Support and Troubleshooting -
- now - here - IMPORTANT - http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html :
DO NOT Enter a product name/number
- but choose
Or automatically find your products and solutions - click on START button
you may need to ALLOW your antivirus software to scan your computer and after a minute or so you will get a response like this:
1 HP products were discovered
»HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer - N911g Serial Number: Product # here Product Number: Number here
Now got to Start - Devices and Printers and RIGHT CLICK on the HP printer device and choose Printer Properties:
The GENERIC NAME "HP Officejet Pro 8600" needs to be replaced with FULL NAME of your printer:
HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer - N911g
Click "Apply" - click OK
Now make your printer DEFAULT
GOOD LUCK!

My officejet pro 8600 plus drops the LAN network connectivity , eprint works, and fixes LAN

OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus , computer running XP service Pack 3, Wired to ethernet network with static compatible IP address.
When printer sits idly, loses LAN connectivity. Scanner and printer not seen by the computer. Unplugging cable, restarting printer does not solve the "Unable to communicate with Printer" error message.
The printer remains connected to the internet and sending an ePrint job from my Blackberry phone wakes up the connection between the computer and the Printer and scanner.
Any idea what is going on here and is there a better fix then sending a print job from my Blackberry?

I have the same problem. I'm even able to print from the EWS (Embedded Web Server) website since, even with this problem, I still have a working wireless Internet Connection. To do this just enter 192........ as the URL. The "192..." is the IP address of your printer.
I was online for over 3 hours in a chat session with an HP tech which proved totally worthless. These guys work out of a script (which is wrong in many instances) and are essentially useless unless you can get to a higher level of tech support. In fact, there can be serious damage to your computer if you blindly follow their advice.
My next step is to go higher up in the HP "food chain".
Good Luck

Can i force a officejet pro 8000 a809 to print black and white when a color cartrigde is empty?

I am trying to get two text document printed and I get an No ink/toner message on the top the printer que window. It is the Yellow ink cartridge, can I bypass this and force it to print in black and white only?

I know these posts are old, but.
To force the print to print even though some carts are empty or expired. Turn the printer off. Then hold the feed button while turning the printer on. Keep the feed button pressed for about 4-5 seconds after powering on the printer.

How to re-save a color PDF as black and white

It seems to me I was able to do this with a previous version of Acrobat, but so much has changed with the interface, I couldn't find where to do this in Acrobat X.
I originally created a color document in InDesign and exported it as a PDF to send to the printer.
Next thing I know, they needed it quickly changed to black and white.
I would have saved a lot of time if I could have found how to do it from Acrobat rather than having to change everything in InDesign.

If you mean converting color to grayscale, you can do this in the Print Production tools in Acrobat Pro (not available in Acrobat Standard). To make the Print Production tools available, click the small menu at the upper right of the Tools pane and select Print Production.
You can either use the Color Colors tool and convert to a grayscale profile. Or you can use the Preflight tool and select the Single Fixup "Convert Color to Grayscale."

How to turn logo into crisp clean vector black and white outline?

I have the colored logo in vector but I need a crisp clean vector black and white outline.
Please advise.
Thank you!

You might be able to at least color all the dark parts in black via Edit > Edit colors > Recolor art.
Maybe you can use it as well to color all the other parts in white (depends on how many there are and if it doesn't get too cluttered).
You might also try to use the magic wand tool to select stuff and then apply different colors.

Getting a grain effect in Black and white digital images

How do I achieve a grain effect on my digital black and white images.

1 - Please do not use your e-mail address in these forums - it will attract SPAM to you and SPAMMERS to the forum - and the host probably will edit it out
2 - re B&W - not that iPhoto will only wrk with RGB photos so even if they are B&W they need the sRGB profile
3 - to do sophisticated editing (like adding effects - i.e. grain) you need a third party editor - like PhotoShop Elements - iPhoto is a great but pretty much consumer level photo management system

OfficeJet Pro 8600 How To Change Scan to Email Signature

It's getting a little frustrating with all these updates and changes - not being to find where to accomplish anything. I cannot for the life of me figure out where to change my "Scan to Email" signature. I changed real estate companies and need to change my scan to email signature. The new HP Connected is only good for trying to sell you more stuff. Oh, and Windows 8 and all these apps that you're supposed to download now . .also don't give you a place for any of these settings!
Signed,
Totally Frustrated

Hi there,
I'm not an expert on this topic, but I found some information in the product manual that I hope will help. I'm sorry trying to make this simple change has been such a frustrating experience!
The product manual is located here. Go to page 55 for information about setting/changing scan to e-mail settings.
Thanks!

My story is working in dvd studio pro but how do I get the track to play with and without the story?

Hi there,
I've targetted my first button to play all and I've targetted my second button to play all: story 1. The play all option is still playing the same as the play all:story 1 option.
Can someone please help me figure out what I'm missing here. It should be straightforward but something isn't working.
Many thanks
Oonagh

Not sure if I explained my problem well at the start.
I have a 1 track dvd and I want two play options. 1 is the play all option, the other is an interactive option where the track will stop at certain points in the dvd. I have created 2 stories for each task. However, I can't alter 1 story without it altering the other story. Therefore for the play all option, when I want to take out the property whereby it stops at certain points in the interactive play option, it takes it out of both stories. If I target the play all button to just the track without any story, it still is linked to the interactive story.
The way I've made the story markers interactive is by putting the playback option to infinite.
I thought I had solved the problem by deleting the interactive story markers in the play all story but now when it plays through, it's not seamless where I removed these chapters and seems to jump a bit at these points.
If anyone can shed some light it would be much appreciated

HT204135 This is my first iMac. How come everything I print is in black and white? I have an HP Photosmart and it prints in color just fine except when I print using the iMac.

Unlike my other computers where I can change the printer setup ( color, black and white, paper type etc) I don't see that option on the iMac. Is it called somethng else? I want to retire my old computer but can't until I can print in color.

Thank you, I did that, after I click "show details" I see where I can change the paper size, reverse print etc. but I'm not seeing an option to swtich to color. On my HP and IBM PC's I can click on printer properties and change the print quality, paper type ( e.g.photo), grayscale and such. Do you by chance know if this is not an available feature on iMacs or maybe my printer isn't iMac friendly?

Have a MacBook Pro. the computer will not boot up, the screen has black and white stripes and multi color bands as well.

Yeah it's dead. Take it to an Apple Genius Bar and have it checked out. Then buy a new one.
