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.

Print in Black only

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.

Setting Default printing as Black only

I know how to enable printing in black only using printer properties and colour ->greyscale-> in black ink only.But that setting lasts only for that session/ file being printed. If I load another file or another session the default goes back to colour. Even if I make a printing short cut that short cut gets saved but is not the default. I have solved the problem by removing the colour cartridge and the printer prints in black only even if I do not change the setting from "colour". This works but is there any other elegant solution? Regards S S Kini

Hi , I see by your post that the black only settings is only working for one session. I would like to help you.
Did you download and install the HP Deskjet F4200/F4224 All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Driveror are you using the preinstalled Windows drivers? I have provided a document for setting the default printer settings for a single job and for all print jobs. Most likely this is the way you have set the black only.HP Deskjet, Officejet, and Photosmart Printers and All-in-Ones - Changing Print Settings in Windows 8. If the black only isn't holding the setting in the print driver, I would suggest to uninstall and reinstall the print drivers. They might have become corrupted.

How do i print in black only

Product Name - HP Officejet 6500A Plus
Operating System - Windows 7
I do not have an Error Message. I would like to find out how I can print using Black Ink only. I have not made any changes in my system. This is the first time I have attempted to do this and have not found a way. I could not locate the tool box which I assume would allow me to do this.

how do I print in black only pritnting color documents from files in computer or color documents from internet?

Can I really not print in black only when the cyan cartridge is empty?

I have a message that the cyan cartridge is empty and that I cannot print until it is replaced. It's a new cartridge, less than a month old. I took it out and shook it, and can tell there's plenty of toner left. But my primary question is, why can't I print in black only without the cyan cartridge being replaced?

Hi,
Any ink is required to maintain the printhead and service the printer.
Print head nozzles get clogged over time, most commonly by microscopic dust particles or dried ink. Nozzles are kept clean by servicing, including wiping the surface with a small rubber wiper, ejecting ink through the nozzles to purge particles and to prevent drying and pumping with ink to clean the print head. To keep the printer ready to print in either colour or black, these service routines typically consume some ink from every cartridge, even if only black or colour is used in the document being printed.
Oce the is not enough ink to service the printhead any depleted ink cartridge must be replaced to resume prnting:

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

Printing in black only with depleted COLOR cartrages doesn't work.

I just downloaded a missing W2 and NEED to print it like yesterday. My yellow and megenta cartrages are empty. But the document is black and white but NONE of the ways of printing in black only work because HP uses my VERY expencive ink to do things OTHER then printing? Really??? Is that for real? Does HP really charge an arm and a leg for ink and then use it for purposes OTHER then putting said ink on paper?

I have the exact same issue. The instructions state specifically that it will print with a depleted cartridge in grayscale but nothing works. I had to order one online. What is infuriating is that I rarely print in color. If I knew this would be an issue I never would have bought this printer.

Trying to print in black only

one cartriage depleted trying to print in black only. setting is on gray scale still will not print

Please read this post then provide some details. What printer model? What operating system? Are there any error messages on the printer or computer screen?
