PRINTS ONLY BLACK AND WHITE

My hp photosmart 5512 will only print in black and white on my gateway PC, but will print correctly on my laptops, does anyone know why?

I tried turning the printer on when it only said 35% but it still printed out in black and white. It hung at 35% after about 3 minutes so I don't think I could have waited it to get to 100%. Usually print jobs get in the queue in a matter of seconds so I don't think the workaround is working for me.

How do I set my Ricoh Aficio SP C220N to Default to print only Black and White?

HI Guys can you help?
How do I set my Ricoh Aficio SP C220N to Default to print only Black and White? When I check print Grey Scale box it uses the other colours to create the black instead of using the black toner cartridge. doing this from a PC works fine but not of a Mac and I am a newbie at this can you help as I don't want to waste any more colour ink unnecessarily.

Hi,
Follow the steps below to print using Black Ink only:
1. From the application used to print, click the File menu and select Print. The Print window appears.
NOTE: The Print window might be minimized: Click the Show Details button to see all available settings.
2. To access the color options, click the lowest selection box listed as the name of the program (e.g. TextEdit)
Will appear as Copies & Pages within Microsoft Office applications.
3. Select Paper Type/Quality from the drop-down menu.
4. Click the triangle next to Color Options to expend the settings.
5. Set the Color field as Grayscale.
6. Set the Grayscale Mode as Black Ink Cartridge Only.
You may save the settings for future use by clicking Presets > Save Current Settings as Preset...
Any used preset will remain default so simply select teh standard preset to print in color.

Color LaserJet 2605dn Printing only Black and white

I have a Color Laserjet 2605dn and all of the color ink cartridges have run dry. However the Black cartridge has over 2,000 pages of ink in it and the printer will not let me prink only Black and White. It seems the color cartridges must also have ink in them in order for the printer to print. Does anyone know a work around so that I can print with the Black Cartridge and not purchase the color cartridges?

I have HP Deskjet 3510 connected wireless - problem is that it wants to print only black and white - is there a color button I am missing? The print quality report is fine in color etc.

I have a HP Deskjet 3510 and it wants to print only in black and white.
The Print Quality Report is fine and in color.
Is there a color button I am missing?

In the Print & Scan system preferences, does it indicate it is using a generic printer driver or a Gutenprint driver?
Also, if you click on Options & Supplies, you might want to check and see if has to be enabled. That kind of sounds odd though.
Another thing is it might not be showing. If the bottom of the print dialog has a button that says "Show Details," click it. Then, you can change settings in the popup menu.

HP6500A printer prints only black and white, won't print color documents. Product No CN555A.

All cartridge ink levels are about 25% minimum. I have cleaned the printhead but copy still prints black and white.

Hi CharlesMull:
Your question would be better answered in the printer section of the forum. This section is for Touchsmart computers. So can you post it over there. HP moderator has not yet moved it. I am sure your printer has trouble shooter on it but I do not know how to excess it. I always have to use Direct Support. Would be under the tool section on printer control screen. It is not done through the through the computer that I do know.

Photosmart 7520 print in black and white?

I have a photosmart 7520. I want to print a black and white tekst-formular, but since there's no ink left in the photo cartridge I can't print any thing. Is it not possible to print only black and white stuff, whith this printer?
Thanks
Thomas

Hi Jeeeez,
I understand you have a Photosmart 7520 that you're wondering if you can print with when one of the colors is out. I will certainly do my best to address you question!
Unfortunately this printer requires all of the ink cartridges have something in them whether you are trying to use that particular cartridge or not. This is simply for the health of the printhead, because if it dries out then nothing will print at all, new ink or not. Once you have all of the inks with something in them inserted in the printer you can set it to print in Black Ink Only from the computer as well for future use.
If you'd like to know how to set the printer to print using Black Ink Only from the computer, please let me know which version of Mac or Windows that you're using and I will get back to you with instructions.
Hope this answers your question, have a great day!!

Check the printer itself. Some printers you need to set the color & B&W settings on the printer itself instead of the Mac. If that is not the case w/your printer, contact HP tech support and/or post in their forums if they have one.

Hoiw do I force my new mf8580cdw to print in black and white only (grey scale)?

First of all I am using windows 7 - 64bit and my printer is the MF8580CDW. I am using the UFRII print driver. I have tried changing one/all of the profiles in the print settings and printer properties to "black and white" printing but the software keeps chainging my selection back to "Auto[Color/B&W]". I have also tried enabling the toner saver option to no avail. When I changed the settings I clicked "Apply". Why is the driver not saving my settings? How do I force the printer to always print in black and white?

Hi,
From the application used to print open the print dialog.
Click Properties / Preferences / Settings to access the Printing Preferences dialog.
Click the Advanced button.
Under Printing Features set the Print in Grayscale value as Black Ink Only.

How can I print in black and white only directly from apps on hp screen?

My printer preference from my pc is set to print in black and white from my computer. How do I set the same black and white settings from the HP Photosmart Plus printer, when printing directly from Apps on Home screen?

Hello AdrianaSFleury,
At this time there is not an option or a default to set black and white only from the front panel of the printer. Some applications may give you settings in the Application itself for color or black and white but that would be the only place to change the color of the document/photo for your print jobs.
