OK, but still, they built the poorly made HP drivers in their OS.
Ah, no. They published the only drivers HP gave them. If they didn't publish them, then Mac users would be unable to use HP devices at all, except for those devices supported by 3rd parties such as Gutenprint and the HPIJS Project. HP is solely responsible for the state of their drivers. And it's not just Mac drivers which are bad; a lot of Windows drivers stink, too. HP simply has a problem writing drivers. For the most part they have excellent hardware, but truly terrible software.

  • Help! How can i print a color document in black and white?

    I have tried some of the other solutions found on Google but i still can not figure out how to print a color document in black and white on my macbook pro...can someone help me?

  • How best to print a color photo in black and white

    I use the Black and White adjustment on a series of colour photo's I've taken.  However when I go to print the photo's, colour still comes out in the print.  Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

    It might be a problem with your printer's color profile. Did you try to set the color profile in the print dialogue to "black and white" (choose: "more options" in the print panel) ?

  • How do I print a colour PDF in black and white

    How do I print a colour PDF in black and white.

    Thanks for that, unfortunately a) I'm a Mac user and b) I've already ticked the grayscale box in the print dialogue box and it seems to ignore or override the instruction and still print in colour. I've been in to the advanced instructions and tried a couple of different settings there but still no luck.

  • How to re-save a color PDF as black and white

    It seems to me I was able to do this with a previous version of Acrobat, but so much has changed with the interface, I couldn't find where to do this in Acrobat X.
    I originally created a color document in InDesign and exported it as a PDF to send to the printer.
    Next thing I know, they needed it quickly changed to black and white.
    I would have saved a lot of time if I could have found how to do it from Acrobat rather than having to change everything in InDesign.

    If you mean converting color to grayscale, you can do this in the Print Production tools in Acrobat Pro (not available in Acrobat Standard). To make the Print Production tools available, click the small menu at the upper right of the Tools pane and select Print Production.
    You can either use the Color Colors tool and convert to a grayscale profile. Or you can use the Preflight tool and select the Single Fixup "Convert Color to Grayscale."

  • My c5180 will print in color but not black and white

    I can't print in black and white with my HP Photosmart C5180 all in one. I put in a new cartage and it still only print in color without black ink. I've tried all the buttons in HP Print and Scan Doctor but I don't know what it is that I should like at. So I can't tell if it fixed it or not. Should any of them have black in it. I've tried uninstall and reinstall the drivers that did not work. When I use HP solution center I used the “align the print head” the box form left to right blue, red, and yellow all are light in color and the four is brown. Can anyone help

  • Not able to choose to print in color instead of Black and white

    Good afternoon!
    I have a HP photosmart 5510e and i am running a windows 8.1. I am trying to print some photos but i am unable to have them print in color. I have looked all through the settings on the printer but i dont get an option to change it

    Hi,
    It sounds like your printer is operating in grey scale mode. I've included a screen shot below of what the grey scale/colour toggle looks like on my Windows 7 setup.
    You can check that you have the most recent Windows 8 drivers here

  • I cannot get my HP Officejet 6500A Plus 710N to print in color. I have reinstalled the drivers..

    I cannot get my HP Officejet 6500A Plus 710N to print in color. I have reinstalled the drivers.  It used to print in color and just stopped.  I think it may be a settings issue?  I have checked the ink levels and they are all fine. When I print a diagnostic report on print qualify, the black prints well, but there is no color printing.

    Okay, I had the same problem. It's most likely your printhead. All you have to due is clean it.
    Note: I was sceptical of this approach but can fully attest to it's sound results as it restored my printer back to full functionality. Prior to this the printer only would print Black ink.
    The print head is the carriage that holds all of your ink cartridges in the printer. On the 6500A it's super easy to remove. Opent your lid like your changing your ink cartridges. Remove all of your ink cartridges. Once they're out. There is a lever on the left side of the carrier that holdes your ink cartridges. Lift it up and the print head comes right out. Net take your print head to the sink and run it under hot water aiming towards the the four cirles were the ink flows into. Keep running it under the hot water until it is coming out clear. It's okay to run it under the bottom part too infact you'll need to inorder to get it completely rinsed out. Also don't touch the computer metal strips with your hand thought you can run water over them. Once your done rinsing use a blow dryer or a can of compressed air (thats what I did) to dry every thing out. I was able to get everything dry in about 5 minutes or so. Let it sit for a few minutes and check it again for water. I recommend moving it around to get full exposure to insure it is dry. Also if you use a hair dryer try to put it on a cold setting since there ar rubber grommets the surrount the inlet ink ports you wouldn't want to melt them with the hot air etc.. Like I said I used a can of compressed air.  It's important to use a quick method of drying as mentioned otherwise mineral particles could become deposited on the unit. This won't happen with the methods as I've described because the molecules won't be able to bond since your blowint them off. Oh yeah, you'll want to place a clean peice of paper down as your blowing because at first you'll end up with a few black jet marks as your blowing. Also don't wear your favorite white shirt lol. 
    Okay once it's dry replace the print head carriage back in push the lever down install the ink cartridges. Close the lid then unplug the printer. Wait 5 seconds plug it back in then it will reboot and start its set up procedure kind of like whet you first bought the printer except you won't have to change any of your network or setup setting since they are saved in memory. Also be patient about the set up procedure it seemed very slow for me. Once it finishes you will be prompted to run the printer alignment process. Run the alignment process and you should be all good. If not at least you gave it a shot. If this doesn't work your going to have to pay $60 for a new printer head. Which is not that big of a deal but hey if you can fix it for free why not. If you do decide to buy a new printer head you might find deals online or ebay just make sure it's an Genuine HP print head. And lol use the Genuine HP ink cartridges. Finally make sure you print at least on colored page per month to make sure the ink doesn't clog up in the future.
    Remember this suggestion is after you have run the HP clean ink cartridge procedure twice. Sometimes the clean procedure will correct the problem first. Also there is video I watched on YouTube about this just search for "Clean HP 6500 print head. Hope that helps
    Once it's all dry just reinstall the printer head carriage

    Is this using the "Fill & Sign" tab of https://cloud.acrobat.com/fillsign (for now text input is only black) or maybe using the Fill & Sign tool in Adobe Reader XI, or another application?

  • Beginner help with splash of color in a black and white photo

    Hi there.  I just perchased the Photoshop Elements 7.  I have a picture of my niece who has beautiful blue eyes and I want to make it black and white and them leave her eyes there beautiful blue??  Can anyone give me step by step instructions on how to do this?  I have search all over and the answers I can across where way to complex for my new beginner knowledge. Also I have another photo of the same niece with  her prom dress on that I would like to leave her eye color alone and dress, but the rest in black and white.   I would appreciate any help anyone can give me.  I am so lost with this program at the moment.  Thank you so much!!

    There are several ways to do it. One way which is really flexible is to add a Hue/Saturation layer over your image. Reduce the Saturation in this dialog to -100 to remove all of the color. Grab your paint brush and set the color to black. With the Hue/Saturation layer selected, paint over the eyes to reveal the color of her eyes.
    A couple of tricks to go with this.
    You can blur the mask to soften/feather the edges after you paint if needed.
    If you need to firm up the edges, use levels on the mask...ctrl L.
    If you want to mix your own black and white effect, you can use the drop down box in the Hue/Saturation dialog box to reduce each individual color channel's Saturation to -100 (instead of the master which effects the overall); then tune your effect by adjusting the individual color's lightness values. You can also adjust Hue values if desired.

  • How to determine actual colors in a black and white photo?

    I'm not sure if I'm in the right section, but I'm wondering if it's possible to use an Adobe program to restore actual colors in a black and white photo? I don't want add color by imagining or guessing; I need to determine the real colors. This might not even be possible, but if it is, please tell me what I can use.
    Thank you.

    That's where the artistry comes into play when they colorize old movies.
    A lady wears a nice dress:  is it greeen or purple?  It looks gray.
    A baby comes home from the hospital cute new baby clothes: pink or blue?  They look light gray.
    That's a nice school tie that guy's wearing: use the wrong colors on the stripes, and he's at a different school.  But they're nothing more than varying shades of gray.
    If there's one thing missing in a B&W photograph, it's any vestige of color information.   All you have is gray scale.   You may NEED to determine the real colors, but without a color photograph to use as a reference image, you're out of luck.
