Make Sure Only Black Ink is Used?

Hello folks, first time posting here so bear with me.
Just bought a Laserjet Pro 400 M451nw and am using it on a Mac with Yosemite (even though the driver I installed said it was for Mavericks, it installed ok and is up and running though), my question is how to ensure only black ink is used even if there's some colour on the page I want to print? I hardly ever need colour so want to keep it's usage down to a minimum.
I'm connected through WiFi, any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

The PSC 750 requires both cartridges to be present, you will need a color 78 cartridge to be installed. The printer will work with an empty color cartridge but it must be installed and electrically sound.

Is there a way to make sure my MBP doesn't use a particular resolution or ?

This may be a stupid question. I am hooking my MBP to my lcd tv. When I first connected the television, my tv displayed the message "mode not supported". Having played a little at this I simply went to my display preferences and looked at what resolution was running to my tv. (I have my display preferences in the toolbar) It was running 1920x1080 at 60Hz and right above that there was another 1920x1080 at 60Hz so I clicked on that and my external display lit right up. (Turns out the second resolution's refresh rate is actually 59.9Hz) So no problem right? Well I use this set up as sort of a media center so I like to run my MBP with its lid closed. When I close the lid, and rewake the MBP, my television gives me the message "mode not supported". So there is a signal but the tv can't display it. This leads me to believe that when I close the lid on my MBP it decides to run at the 60Hz as opposed to the functional 59.9Hz. The problem is I can't see the display to change the resolution or refresh rate. Is there a way to make sure my MBP doesn't use a particular resolution or refresh rate? I have tried changing it before I close the lid. I have tried it in mirrored display mode. Nothing works so far. Please Help!

Not really. In the Displays preferences you can only check the option to show supported resolutions, but that only will be present with another display connected (I believe.) On laptops it isn't an option, obviously, but it may be present once you connect an external display.
You might try using the shareware utility SwitchResX - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

Make sure Compressor 3.5.3 uses Qmaster cluster

How do you make sure Compressor 3.5.3 uses the Q master cluster? I know you have to set up Qmaster, but I don't know what the settings are supposed to be. My MacPro 2,1 has 8 cores.
Also, how do you tell if your version of Compressor is running as 32 bit or 64 bit and how do you change it from one to the other?
I have two identical MacPros but one takes three times longer to process the same files in Compressor. I'd like to get them on even ground. They have the same separate raids as well and they both test equally with AJA and Black Magic speed tests.

Also, just to point out that you have three threads on this question.

The etag value \'\"1\"\' specified in one of the request headers is not valid. Please make sure only one etag value is specified and is valid.

I try to receive data from a SharePoint List by using REST Services. (_vti_bin/ListData.svc)
This approach worked fine for some days, until I get an error 400 with following error message:
"The etag value 1 specified in one of the request headers is not valid. Please make sure only one tag value is specified and is valid."
Hope anybody can help.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you had an issue about retrieve data form list using REST in SharePoint 2010.
I had created a simple demo to retrieve a list item, you can check with the following code snippets.
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("callCSOM");
function callCSOM()
$("#Button1").click(function()
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(ready, "sp.js");
function getListItemById(webUrl,listName, itemId, success, failure) {
var url = webUrl + "/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/" + listName + "(" + itemId + ")";
$.ajax({
url: url,
method: "GET",
headers: { "Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose" },
success: function (data) {
success(data.d);
error: function (data) {
failure(data.responseJSON.error);
function ready(){
getListItemById('http://sp','ListB',2,function(data){
alert(data.Title);
function(error){
console.log(JSON.stringify(error));
</script>
<input id="Button1" type="button" value="Run Code"/>

My mx452 is out of color ink. How can I print with the MX452 using only black ink?

Hi
I have the MX452.
I only use it now to print in black and white.
But I cannot get it to print despite a new b&w cartridge.
Do i have to buy a new color print cartridge or can I overide the error code "Check Color Ink 1688" ??
I dont want to spend $30 on a color cartridge that I will not use.
HELP

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!!

C5380 - I want to print using ONLY black ink cartridge. Is this possible?

Hi Folks,
I now understand that this model, HP C5380 and I'm guessing many others too, are programed to use an amount of colour ink even when selected to print in Black.
My question is: Can I somehow program the printer to 'only print using the black ink cartridge' and not use the colour cartridges at all?
I have heard that this is possible with some models but need the specifics.
I am even willing to permanently disable the colour function if needed. The replacement ink catridges are so very expensive, if I'm unable to do this then I'll be looking for another printer and it won't be HP. Thi is unfortunate because I think they make a good quality product - however they need to be on notice that their customers 'good will' and return business will not be forthcoming when they (and other compaines) continue to use money making strategies like this.
Many Thanks in advance for your time, B

Deskjet 3070A - Why can't I print only black ink?! (Wastes so much ink/money!)

Hello. I have already posted this in another forum and the conclusion was to post it again here. The full post and replies are here. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Ink-Toner-Cartridge-Printhead-Issues/Deskjet-3070A-Why-can-t-I-print-on... (will open in new window)
Basically, printing in black only seems to use almost as much color ink, forcing me to buy ALL the cartridges when I need only black. I understand that some color ink is used to keep the heads clean, but seems that quite a lot is used. I print "black only" but maybe Im not doing something right in the print setup or maybe this is a known issue. In any event, it is way too expensive to buy all cartridges and will have to scrap this printer if I cant fix it. Hope there is a solution.
Best,
R

Hi rdbot,
To setup black ink only I would recommend the following:
Open TextEdit.
Click on File, then Print.
Select the printer.
Then next to presets, select Show Presets (it will be in a drop-down menu).
Look for Color/Quality and select it.
Then you can find options for black and white only.
You can see this guide, OS X Yosemite: Save your print settings to use later, as an example.
I noticed that there is not any full feature software and drivers for this printer for Mac OS X. So you will need to use the built-in driver through Apple. I would make sure all your Apple updates have been completed. Update OS X and App Store apps on your Mac.
If that still does not work, I would also recommend, resetting the print system, and then verify and repair disk permissions.
If you need to download the driver manually, you can find it at this website, HP Printer Drivers v3.0 for OS X.
Hope this clears things up for you, and have a wonderful day!

Printing with only black ink

when i bought the hp 8600 officejet pro plus, i was toil that you didnt have to replace the empty color catridges to print in black ink only. i have jsut found out that is not true. is there a way to make printer print without replacing collor cartridges?

Most likely the confusion is caused because the Office Depot sales person and the bushiness associate did not distinguish between the different kinds of printers.
There are generally a few different technologies used for inkjet printers - those like the Deskjet 6940 that have printheads and ink supplies integrated together are called Integrated Print Head (IPH) printers.
Another style has separate individual ink supplies and printheads. This style has printheads that may be permanent and non-replaceable, or they may be replaceable after some number of ink supplies. These are called Individual Ink Cartridge (IIC) printers. An Examples are the Photosmart C7280, which has permanent non-replaceable printheads and the Officejet 8600 and 6700 which have replaceable printheads.
Most IPH printers will happily print with one (or even both) cartridges low on ink or empty. Recent models will often allow printing even if one of the cartridges is removed completely, switching automatically to "reserve mode" or "ink backup mode".
IIC printers have long life printheads and generally have plumbing to connect the ink supplies to the printheads. These printers (whether from HP or other manufacturers) generally require ink available in all colors to prevent air bubbles in the plumbing ar printhead. Some ink is also required to keep the nozzles from clogging. Even in the case of printing black only the color printheads are waving around in the air and may dry out. Some ink is required to keep the printhead from drying out.
The document here has some information on how ink is used.

564 black ink - printer using photo ink for general printing!

I ran out of regular black ink for my Photosmart C6380 a couple of weeks ago. Had a full cartridge of photo black, but none was used - pages were very faint gray. After replacing the empty cartridge with a 564XL, I see that my photo black is now half empty while the regular black ink is full and has not been touched at all!! Where's the confusion? How do I make the printer draw from the standard ink cartridge instead of the photo? It won't work without every cartridge in place.

Hi Selig,
Thanks for posting you issue on forum,
From what i understand you would like to Print use black ink only instead of photo black.
You have an option under the printer driver which says Black ink only, by selecting that you will not be able to print color. On most cases this should help you use the black cartridge over the photo black.
If you have to print color you might need to change this option,
I dont have the printer over here but the steps are from best of my knowledge.
Go to Control Panel>> Devices and Printers>> Highlight Printer>>Right click on Printer and click Printing Preferences.
Click on Advance>>click on the drop down for Print in Greyscale and select Black Ink only
with newer driver we have this option under Printing Preferences>>Paper/Quality tab and under Quality settings.

How do I setup my printer to print with only black ink in a pages document

How do I setup a document to use black ink only in Pages?

This is a Printer setting, rather than a Document one.
For my Canon Inkjet, it's done in the Print Dialogue:
As you can see from the second pop-up menu, I have saved this setting as a preset.
The setting itself has only a single change from the supplied "Standard" setting—checking the Grayscale Printing checkbox.
Going by appearances, the printer uses only the Black cartridge when printing in this mode, unless I have set "Use color cartridge" in the printer's utility software, a setting intended to allow you to print using only one cartridge when the other is out of ink. Greyscale printing using only the colour cartridge has less contrast, and usually shows a colour cast. Setting the printer utility to specify using only the K cartridge shows results essentially the same as those done in grayscale using the Print dialogue setting and not bothering to change the printer utility setting.

Barry

HT200131 how to make sure only my laptop can connect to my apple tv?

I don't want to see my flatmate apple tv under "connect"
how to make sure I don't click on his tv accidentally and he won't be able to connect mine?
thank you!

Hey J-Justin,
Great question! You can name your Apple TV to differentiate it from others in the AirPlay list:
Apple TV: Change the name of your Apple TV - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT200028
Furthermore, you can setup an onscreen code or password to restrict access for AirPlay. The password method sounds like the best option for your setup:
Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Understanding AirPlay settings - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202618
Set a password
Go to Settings > AirPlay > Security > Password > [set password]. You can use this setting to require a password for AirPlay-enabled devices to connect using AirPlay on the Apple TV. Use this setting if your device will need permanent access and you only want to enter the password once.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Only Black Ink, Please!

Officejet 6700 Premium and Windows 7. Keeps using color ink even tho Grayscale is set to Black Ink Only and Print All Text as Black is set to Enable. What's wrong? How can I fix it?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

So explain this new development to me: I was in the middle of a new print job just a few minutes ago and the yellow cartridge became depleted. A message appeared on the printer's screen saying that an cartridge was depleted but gave me the option of pressing "OK" if I wanted to print in black only. Given the previous explanation about it being impossible for the printer to print in black only, this is a little mind boggling. For the record, I did select "OK" and the pages came right out of the printer without any hesitation without any need for yellow.

How do i get the 8600 to print in only black ink?

How do I set the HP Pro 8600 Plus to print only in black ink? I have tried the "enable" option for black ink only under Preferences/Advanced but it doesn't seem to work. Still keeps printing in color.

How do make sure only legitimate people an get into Conference using SX20

Customer Scenario-( I) :Customer has SX20 registered with CUCM9.x, there is no TP Server and no TMS for Scheduled conference.
I understand the concept of secure conferencing but this would be between the Endpoint and the Server-UC Application:
Secure conferencing is a way to use regular conferencing to ensure that the media for the conference is secure and cannot be compromised. There are various security levels that a conference can have, such as authenticated or encrypted.
With secure conferencing, the devices and conferencing resources can be authenticated to be trusted devices, and the conference media can then be encrypted so that every authenticated participant sends and receives encrypted media for that conference.
However, like to understand if it possible at User Level as well by prompting the user to enter login credentials for getting into the conf call.
Please Note, its not a scheduled conf call scenario. Its a typical Rendezvous conf example:
Query1: Is there some provision where in if some one dials into SX20 from internet (outside corporate network), to ensure only legitimate people can get into MultiSite conference (3+1), calling party (who dials into SX20) needs to enter credentials (UserName & Password) for Authentication?
Query2: If Query 1 is not possible using Rendezvous conf, then is it possible using Schedule conference with TP server and TMS or just by using TP Server ?
Thanks & Regards
Sumit Bhargava

If someone is dialling in to your SX20, then you have the option to answer the call or not (assuming you don't have it set to auto-answer) - it's then up to your user to accept someone in to, or reject someone from, their conference.
