HP Officejet Pro 8500 Premier prints only in black/MAC USER & won't align?

PROBLEM # 1) I've replaced all my ink cartridges, but can't find out why my printer is now only printing in black? I'm a MAC user, so I want to print in color, and am trying to find instructions for a MAC on how to get back to printing in color?
ACTION TAKEN #1
UPDATE: I've done a three level cleaning of the printer heads, which DOES print in color and each color block now looks great. The printer heads were not printing any color blocks, but the pink color block, until the first third level cleaning. I then cleaned the printer heads a second time all the way through the third level.
RESULT: However when I print from any document/web page my printer only still prints in black & white after these two printer adjustments double three stage printer cartridge claening?
ACTION TAKEN #2
I found this very detailed report and video on cleaning printer heads, alignment issues, and calibrate line feeds;
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01624398&lc=en&product=3964986&tmp...
The Print Quality Diagnostics Page looks perfect (including the alignment section) in all 3 test patterns, and again prints in color.
RESULT: However, my printer still will not print in color after trying all these steps?
IPROBLEM #2)I 've also tried a align printer which also prints in color, but states, "alignment failed see documentation manual"? To make the situation more complicated the alignment page looks perfect and prints in color before the error message displays.
After puling the power cord twice while ON and wiating 20 seconds, as discussed in the above link. my printer "won't remove the, "align error message see diagnostics manual".
RESULT: Printer "won't remove the, "align error message see diagnostics manual", even though the Printer Diagnostic Pages looks great, and the alignment page as well.
I'm operating a lastest version Macbook Air laptop OS X 10.9.4. I have not upgraded to a new operating system since this problem started a week ago, and Ive owned this HP Printer for 2 years.
UPDATE: ISSUE SOLVED. Well you can imagine when I say that I spent about 2 hours on this yesterday that yea he's right. This took a long time to research and try all these solutions. I told my wife about the issue and had her try:
ACTION TAKEN #3: Print a page from a second computer. Windows laptop printed a colored page from a web site.
SOLUTION: (Printing only in Black Color): Wife literally solved the problem in 3 minutes!
Look below at the presets drop-down arrow tab, which is right below the printer name: You will see PLAIN PAPER, FAST DRAFT, BLACK AN(D WHITE). I'm not sure how I checked this, but this is how you can print only in black ink. NOTE: I looked at dozens of answers across the web, and didn't find this info anywhere else!
This screen shot show you what the setting should be if you want to print in fast draft mode to use the least amount of color ink.

Hi monkplayer,
It looks like your problem is solved? There wasn't a problem with the printer itself, just the printer settings on your Mac?
This is good information though. We don't always have detailed solutions for customers that are using Safari, since it is hard to write instructions for the general public with specific steps for each operating system.
Best of luck,

How can I print only in black on my HP 6700 from my I Phone 5?

Hi picheny. How are you printing from your iPhone. Are you using Apple's built in Airprint or the HP Eprint app? Airprint doesn't seem to have any such option. With Eprint, you can specify.

C3180 prints only in black on OS X Maverick

Hello guys,
I just bought a new Macbook Pro i7 A1398 and the new OS X Maverick, I can changed my desktop or my laptop but never my (precioussss) printer All-in-One C3180. I just pluged in my Mac and the system recognized it but the printer prints only in black, no colors and bad dpi.
Second despair: I'm very dissapointed that have no Central Solution of HP. It's that true? :-( Newbie on Mac
This question was solved.

Hi Fael78RJ,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you have recently upgraded to a MacBook Pro running the new Mavericks 10.9 Operating system. You are not able to print in color with your HP Photosmart C3180, your prints are coming out in black and white only.
Now because you are using the Mavericks OS X you must install the printer using the Apple Updates. Please click on the link below, this document explains how to install the print driver on a Mac for a USB or a network connection. The OS X v10.9 Mavericks driver for your printer is available through Apple Software Update (ASU). Additionally, you can perform basic print jobs using AirPrint without installing a driver.
OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac
Once you have installed the PS C3180, you may notice the features you once had are limited or there are workarounds such as not being able to access the Solution Center (yes I am afraid this is true), for scanning with or without HP Software see below:
How to Scan: OS X v10.9
Are you now printing in color? I hope this helps! Let me know the outcome!
Thanks again,

Print only in black ink

HP Photosmart D7100 Printer series.podoshli the end of the yellow and red ink, but you need very urgently to print a document. have the opportunity to transfer print only the black cartridge?

Lilbai wrote:
Bob, thanks for confirming what HP says the printer does and doesn't do. If however, I want to print in pure black, which appears to be an option provided by the printer, does the printer require the use, rather than the presence, of colour ink to print? HP says colour ink will be drawn by the printer when the level of black ink is low but my black ink is half full and I still can't print in black only. Why would any company make a printer whose printheads will be damaged due to the absence of ink in cartridges which are not used in a printing job? I just do not understand. Has HP told consumers in its manuals or on its website the fact that black only printing is not possible without the use or presence of colour ink in these printers?
First, I do not work for or speak for HP, I am simply explaining how printers with separate printheads and ink supplies work. The printheads require fresh ink in each color to prevent clogging of the printheads. The printhead assembly contains both the black and color printheads. Consider a print job that is going to print only black. The color printheads are still being waved about in the air and will dry out and clog unless they are serviced during and after the printing has completed. This servicing requires ink because that is the only fluid available for the printheads. If printing were allowed without any color ink available for servicing the printheads could become clogged to an extent that they require (expensive) replacement. Every company that uses fixed or semipermanant inkjet printheads has similar constraints.
If you need a printer that will allow printing with one or more colors empty or removed then get a printer with the printheads included with the ink supplies. On these devices the printhead is replaced with each new cartridge so it is possible to print with one or more colors missing without risking damage to the printer.

How to Force PDF to Print Only in Black

I have an old HP 932C that's been working fine until recently. It quit printing blue. Bought a new cartridge and there's no difference. I've run the diagnostics for the printer--fairly primitive and no help. I probably need a new one at this point, but right now I need to print out a form I have in PDF. It's got a lot of blue in it and it prints out this sickly pinkish that just won't work. I'm just looking for a way to "force" this PDF to print only in black. Any tips?
Also I'd love to see any advice about trying get this old printer to print blue again. The print nozzles are contained in the cartridges so changing out the color cartridge gets me new nozzles. I've inspected the electrical contact area of the cartridge holder in the printer and it looks fine.
Thanks,
Steve M.

Or is there some other software that I am missing or that I could add?
It's not in the printer driver, it's part of the OZS/Colorsync/Quartz... been so long I forget, but...
See if in the Print Dialog you have Print settings & an option for grayscale.
B&W is supposed to be a default filter...

HP OfficeJet Pro 8500A Plus - By passing expired Color Cartridges to print only in Black printing.

Hi,
Problem:
fIt seems that this model of printer has a built in protocol which makes the printer inoperable if any of the colour cartridges are past their expiry date. Attempts to print solely in black are also being prevented because of this.
Does anybody know how permit black printing only without the need to replace colour cartridges rarely used.
Apple Mac PCs and laptops are connected to the printer wirelessly.
I look forward to any info which rids me of this frustrating problem.

Hello popkc, and welcome to the HP Forums.
I see you are looking into ink options. Due to the design of the printer, it does require functional ink as to not cause damage to the print system. There is no way to override this.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums.

Photosmart C6280 Can't bypass the warnings and print only in black

I have a photosmart C6280 printer and i want to print in black only, but i can not bypass the "low ink" errors and "expired cartridge" errors to proceed. I've changed the preferences in my print options to black only but the printer is still flashing "low ink" or "expired cartridge". The black ink cartridge is full and in date btw. I'm afraid of going to buy new colored ink and it still not work, then I'm out of pocket a lot of money and stuck with colored ink cartridges I can't use or return. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program...still nothing. I'm beyond frustrated.

Hi @hatfieldnomore,
I see by your post that you replaced the black cartridge and aren't able to continue printing. You are unable to bypass the "low ink" errors and "expired cartridge" errors to proceed. I can help you.
The printer can operate only for a short period of time with ‘out of ink’ cartridges. All cartridges must be installed for the printer to operate and they must have sufficient ink for servicing, in order to prevent the printhead from drying out.
I have provided a document for Printing with Depleted Cartridges.
This is for the error 'Ink expiration near' Message Displays on the All-in-One.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Reader on my new iMac will now print only in black after once checking gray scale and then unchecking .. has affected all apps

I have Reader running on my new iMac OS X 10.9.4. Used it to print a document in gray scale .. which it did .. and then I unchecked that box. All subsequent attempts to print in colour result in black only .. and it has affected all other colour printing attempts from other apps. Tried shutting down, re-starting. .. checked that printer, HP6310 aio will copy in colour. Any bright ideas about how to fix this situation?

How do I continue printing only in black on a MX882 if the cyan runs out? I don't have another cyan

I think it was error U163.
Well I haven't been able to find anything on this anywhere so I played around with the buttons to find a hidden workaround.
There is one! I pushed simultaneously "OK" and "Black (start button)" and "Stop" and the error page went away and it started printing.
These printers are maddening if you don't know the workarounds since it won't otherwise even let me fax or scan until I gave its ridiculously expensive cartridge.
Any other workaround that people know of?

Connect the iPad to iTunes! Under the apps tab, look-out for the File Sharing Apps option - below you'll find the list of apps that support file sharing. Select the app you need, it'll show the files saved in it. In your cas it will be the PDF files! Select it, copy it to PC and it's done!
