Printer Inks
10 Answers
Hi can anyone help me with this please
I have a HP Photosmart 6510 printer which uses individual ink cartridges
The actual coloured inks have all just about ran out, but as I only use the black ink to print I just bought a new HP blank ink yesterday fitted it tonight as I urgently need to print something off.
But, nothing is printing off all I'm getting is a blank page..?
(I am pressing 'print' and then into 'properties' to choose 'blank ink only')
Does it mean that I need to replace ALL the cartridges please?
Thank you
Any help would be appreciated please!

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Most (all?) printers won't print unless all inks are available. The usual reason given is that it can damage the printhead (although I don't actually understand why!).
Some printers mightallow you to print with only a black cartridge by going into 'Properties', when selecting 'Print', and choosing 'grayscale printing' (with that horrid US spelling!).
If time allows, I can recommend this supplier, who'll sell you a full set of 56 cartridges for £11.22:

(If you order this evening, they should be with you on Saturday).
Otherwise, given that places like Staples and PC World are about to close, you'll either have to phone around your local supermarkets to see if they stock the cartridges you require or beg for the use of a friend's or neighbour's printer.

Thank you all for your speedy replies and help!
Yes I've gone in to 'properties' and chosen 'black ink only' but still nothing, just a blank page.
And yes, lol, I took the cartridge back out just to see if I'd left any seal on it by mistake, lol, but it was ok.
Thanks for the tip on the ink supplier Buenchico, I will look into it for the future
(Thing is I never opt to use the coloured inks, I opt to use just the black, but the levels in the coloured still flippin run down!
Anywaaaay, thanks again :) at least I now know what's up, and I will nip out to the shops (I've found Wilkinsons to be the cheapest) and get a full pack tomorrow.
