Using photo cartridge for printing documents

I have been going through a lot of black cartridges. The reason is that my printer uses the small photo cartridge instead of the bigger black one. How can I set my printer up to print from the bigger black cartridge instead of the photo one?

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.

Hi @sandeepv
I can help you with your print settings, so the printer will print black and white only.
If you have a Mac operating system, use the instructions below.
Printing with the Black Print Cartridge Only option
Click File and then click Print.
Make sure your printer is selected.
Verify that the Preset option is set to Standard.
In the Copies & Pages menu, select Select Paper Type / Quality.
NOTE:If this option is not available, click ColorSync. Then click the down arrow beside Quartz Filter and change the setting from None to Black & White.
Select the Paper tab.
From the Color option menu, select Grayscale.
Select the Color Options tab.
Select the Black Print Cartridge Only option.
If that option is not listed, then it is not available. The printer will print using only the black cartridge, however, printing with one cartridge will be slower than printing with both cartridges.
NOTE:To save the setting, click the arrow next to Preset and select Save As. Save the Preset option as Black Cartridge Only and then click OK. Then, the next time you want to print with just the black cartridge, select the Black Cartridge Only Preset. -Source
If you are using a Windows operating system, use the instructions in the following link. Although this document is titled Changing Print Settings in Windows 8 it can be used for other Windows operating systems. The navigation from Windows 8 to older Windows operating systems would vary, please let me know if you are using a different operating system and/or if you require additional assistance.
I hope this helps.

When using Appleworks database for printing labels can I have columns of different widths?

When using Appleworks database for printing labels can I have a column of different width?
Case in point, the supplied avery labels in Appleworks does not have 8195. When I build one using custom design I need a small column between column 2 and 3 to line up the info in columns 3 and 4. All the labels are 1.3/4 inch wide but I need to insert a column 1/4 wide to match up with the avery page....
Any ideas???
Thanks......
---warren

Well, the issue is that when you creat a custom width of 1.3/4 from the edge of the first label to the edge of label 2 all is good. The right and left margins were also set correct in AW. The Avery page, for some reason, has a small 1/4 inch column between the columns of label 2 and 3 therefore making the distance between the left edge of the label in column 2 and the right edge of the label in column 3 - a width of 2 inches and not 1.3/4.
I guess Avery wanted the page to look even.
I did this work around.....
I created a custom lay out of 2 columns (not 4) with the correct width of 1.3/4 from label edge to label edge and the correct left side margin. After printing the first page I just turned the sheet 180 degress and printed the 2nd page to use all the labels on the Avery sheet. Since the upper and lower margin were the same it worked great....
"Great minds think alike"... thanks for your suggetion

Error message 'Display only possible for print documents'

Hi All,
This issue is with the transaction code ME21N. When the user clicks on PRINT PREVIEW it gives an error of 'Display only possible for print documents'. When the user clicks the MESSAGES tab and then COMMUNICATION METHOD tab it gives an error 'No communication data has been defined for transmission medium 6'. The vendor is not getting the order. Does anyone has any idea of what these error messages mean and where should I look further?
Thank you,
Regards,
Shanu

Hi
this seems tobe relates to print program "" ask your ABABer what program he has written to send the PO to vendor your problam willbe solved.
the moment you give the print it will ask the printer by default LP01 then print immediately check you need to do that.then beground print program and partner you need check. whether this out type you have assigned to this partner or not (vendor). check complecte condition technic.diffnettly it will works.
i hope you have understood
thanks &Regards

Make HP7510 printer use other cartridge when printing black and white document.

Hi,
HP7510 inkjet printer.
Assuming normal black is used up. Will the printer continue with the
photo black cartridge to complete documets?
Can I configure the printer to do so?
Claes

The photo cartridge is used for graphics and printing on photo paper. You may be able to use the photo cartridge by selecting Photo paper in the driver settings. This is not a recommended solution - printing will be slower and it may put too much ink on the page. It may be an OK solution for temporary printing.

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.

What ate the best Cartridges for printing Photos in a office jet 5610 all in one?

I have a Officejet 5610 all in one and I am having trouble printing photos. I am using the Tricolor Cartridge and the Photo cartridge with new HP paper and the photos look terrible. What am I doing wrong?

Please provide some details of the problem - do you see banding, improper colors or ??? What program are you printing from? What operating system?
I would start by checking the print settings. Select "Best" for the print quality and select the proper photo paper type.

Using BI Publisher for printing pick, pack slips, invoices and statements

We are trying to determine if we can use BI Publisher to print, fax, email, archive our primary business documents (pick, pack slips, invoices, AP checks, statements. In the past we used a 3rd party document generation product because the JD Edwards forms software delivered with EnterpriseOne did not have the functionality we needed to automate the presentation and delivery of the documents without modification to the JDE software. We need to automatically sort and split the Spool and or XML files and determine the delivery methods for the output dynamically using the data in the output file, merge with the correct form template(s) and send it to the correct printer(s), fax, email, portal. We also have 3 printers in the mail room for statements less than 8 pages, 8 to 15 pages and 16+ pages. The number of pages produced has to be sorted before it is sent to the printer because of the envelop inserter attached to the printers. Can this be done with the free version of BI Publisher? If not what does the paid version of BI Publisher cost? Does the paid version provide this functionality?

Hi user953712,
1. Check format should use fixed row enumeration matched to the number of remittance lines per stub setup on the Payment Document in EBS.
2. "not using word columns"? I'd be using a table in Word. Is this a text based format? If so consider ETEXT.
"should go into a different file"? Sounds like bursting or some other mechanism.
Regards,
Gareth

Can not print to my HP officejet 6500 printer. Have to use internet explorer to print documents that are sent

with Firefox as my default browser, can not print documents. Have to change to internet explorer to print.

Hello , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you're having issues regarding your print output. I'd like to help! Although you've performed steps similar to a power reset, I'd recommend running these steps before working with the steps found in the document. I would recommend removing the ink cartridges from the printer, and perform a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar. I would also suggest following the steps in this document on Fixing Print Quality Problems for the HP Officejet 6810 and Officejet Pro 6830 e-All-in-One Printer Series. Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Using htp.p for print dynamic data in apex region make my page slow?

Hi, everyone!!! My name is Rafael, and...
I search in the web and in this forum but i can´t find a answer for my doubt.
Using the procedure htp.p for print dynamic data in apex region through on demand process , this will leave my webpage slow to load when the user access?
Example:
For build a menu in my webpage, it´s read a function in the database that returns variable string, so by a demand process this string is obtain and print in a web page using htp.p.
I notice that this practice causes slow to load the data on the page.
This is it...
If someone help me, thanks...
bye and Happy new Year!!!
Edited by: user9518141 on 26/12/2009 17:19

Hi,
Try commenting out the function call and print some sample text in the htp.p like htp.p('Hello world..');
I think the function call is probably taking a lot of time .. not htp.p.
I have used htp.p to print out values dynamically in a lot of situations and have not ever come across any performance issues.It could be a problem with the function you are calling.
Thanks,
Rajesh.

KB fix for print document name in event logs on Server 2012 and Server 2012R2

It appears as though the requested corrections to the documentation where never honored
Note After you apply the hotfix or update, you can show the printed document name in the event by enabling a specific Group Policy.
The policy name:
Computer Configuration \ Administrative Templates \ Printers
Allow job name in event logs
The Windows 8 / Server 2012 fix is:
Event ID 307 does not show the printed document name in Windows
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2938013/en-us
2012R2 is in the April Roll up.
Windows RT 8.1, Windows 8.1, and Windows Server 2012 R2 Update: April 2014
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2919355/en-us
Alan Morris Windows Printing Team

In my simple test, I see that the Group-Policy does exist on 2012R2 but not for 2012.
I isolated the registry changes so I can update a 2012 only system... that text is below.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

I hope this helps others out since it took sometime to narrow this down. Thank you.

Using AP Express for Printing ONLY

Hey Discussions,
I want to purchase an Airport Express for the sole purpose (right now) of printing. Is it possible to use the Express without an Internet connection?
Thanks,
Mateo

Yes, you can use it as a client to an existing wireless network for printing or streaming iTunes.
AirPort Express Base Station (AX) - Client Mode Setup
- Plug the AX into a power outlet.
- On your computer, join the wireless network created by AX.
- Open AirPort Admin Utility. (Mac users: Find it in /Applications/Utilities/. Windows users: On the Start menu, point to All Programs and click AirPort.)
- After AirPort Admin Utility opens, the name of your AX appears in the list. Select it, then click Configure.
- Enter the administrator password if prompted.
- Click the AirPort tab.
- Enter a name for your AX in the Name field. (This name is how it will appear in AirPort Admin Utility; it may be different from the AirTunes remote speaker name. (Note that AirPort Setup Assistant does not allow you to differentiate these names, but AirPort Admin Utility does.)
- If your AX does not already have an administrator password, click the Change Password button to enter one. This password can be different from any network password, and is used for just changing settings on AX.
- In the same pane, under the AirPort Network heading, change the Wireless Mode from "Create a Wireless Network (Home Router)" to "Join an Existing Wireless Network (Wireless Client)."
- Type the name of the wireless network you want to join in the Network Name field. (Note: If you're using AirPort Admin Utility in Mac OS X, you may be able to choose the network from a pop-up menu. This is the name (or SSID) of your current wireless network with the Trendnet router.)
- If the wireless network is password protected, you will need to enter the password. (Mac users: Click Security Options, choose the level of password encryption from the Wireless Security pop-up menu, then enter the password. When finished, click OK. Windows users: Click Wireless Security, choose the level of password encryption from the Wireless Security menu, then click "Set WEP Password" to enter the password. When finished, click OK.)
- Click the Music tab to enter the name that will appear in iTunes as your AirTunes remote speakers. You can also enter a password to prevent others from streaming music to your speakers.
- Finally, click Update to send your new settings to AX.
Once the AX has had a minute or so to restart, it should join the existing wireless network, as indicated by its status light turning solid green.

IPhoto - uploading photo books for printing

iPhoto crashes when trying to upload a Photobook for printing...driving me mad!
any ideas follks.
The Photobook assembles, but wont upload.
Thanks in advance..

This was an excellent suggestion previewing the book at
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 -
and then booting up the computer in safe mode. When I did this I found that several of the fonts had changed and would have ruined the book as they were too big or small or didn't fit the text boxes. I repeated this process until I was satisfied. The pdfs were fine.
Best of all the book was printed exactly as I laid it out.
Apple's turnaround was amazing: just over a week! Really good for getting a book to a small West Coast island in Canada.
Even though Apple's book production is very good it is limited in layouts for each style. BLURB offers a bigger range of layout options as well as a choice of printing papers which is a nice touch. I didn't use them this time because some posters had had delays in getting their books and I had to meet an birthday deadline.
Kudos to Apple for making the book in such a short time.

Using device fonts for printing

Hello,
I was wondering how to use device fonts in Java. These are the fonts that are in the printer and not in the operating system.
I'm writing some point of sale software that needs to use the Star TSP100 printer on Windows 7 64.
I need to use the device font "control" in order to instruct the printer to open the cash drawer.
I would also like to use the device font "3of9" for barcodes. I know there are alternatives to using this, but directly from the printer would be easier than trying to purchase and deploy a barcode font.
I know that star micronics has a JPOS implementation, but not for windows 7 64. And the JPOS with the StarMicronics bin is cumbersome and unstable for the end user even in Windows XP 32 bit.
If I specify the font "control" java replaces it with the default font. i.e. Font deviceFont = new Font ("control", Font.PLAIN, 8.5); is just the default font and not "control"

I did find a solution to my problem, but I cannot use device fonts. You may also find this useful to address your issue. I opened the a print service and sent ASCII to it instead of creating and printing a graphic object. You'll need the [Command Emulator STAR Line Mode Command Specifications|http://www.star-micronics.co.jp/eng/service/usermanual/comemu_starline_pm.pdf] to know what the commands are for the TSP100 and TSP700. I've included a cheat sheet to find the HEX value of the ASCII command. Note that if you need to send several characters you'll need to use the space with it.
e.g. The command to select font is ESC RS F you'll need to send: 1B201E2046

Which printers are used by apple for printing photo books

I was wondering how I had to sharpen my images for photobook printing using aperture. Can I download there printerprofiles anywhere?

I'm back from the Apple store and ran setup on the new machine. When I tried to transfer my old information, the setup would recognize my external hard drive. I called Apple and they said setup only recognizes Time Machine or other real backups of a machine.
They were great anyway and walked me through the manual process of dragging and dropping my users folders to recreate my old machine on the new AIr.
It turned out ok.
