Hello, Lisa -

You can choose to print in black only. However, the black print will use not only the ink from the black ink cartridge but it will also draw from the 3 other color ink cartridges.

Bottom line: You will need sufficient ink in all ink cartridges even to print in black only.

Please read your HP 6700 user's manual, starting on page 74 of the manual.

In case you do not have the user's manual for your printer, this is the link so you can download and save the PDF (Adobe Acrobat Reader software, free) version of the manual:

Best wishes.

Hi ,

As you have already tried replacing the ink cartridge , u can try to reset the printer .

Perform a semi-full reset on the all-in-one by following the steps below

1
Take out the cartridges from the unit .
2
Make sure the unit is connected to the wall jack directly without any surge protector.
3
Unplug the power cord from the back of the unit ( without turning off the unit ) .
4
Now press the # and 6 key together , while holding these keys down plug in the power cord back into the unit .
5
Do not release the keys after a few seconds u will find te hp logo or bars moving across the screen .wait while the unit turns off.
6
after one minute turn on the prnter . it will go into alligment phase > let it finish .
7
after its done > try to make a copy .


8 Allow the all-in-one to re-initialize. This may take a minute or two.

9 If prompts appear in the all-in-one display to set the front panel language and country settings, perform the steps to set this information

Note - you can also try the Ok n cancel key combination in place of # and 6 .in case the first combination does not work .


Thanks

SOURCE: Won't accept non-HP cartridge

You ask "Is this a common problem with non-HP cartridges? " It is a possiblity.
Where did you purchase the cartridges from?
This error might be caused by defective printhead or sensors

Are you removing the 2 protective caps from the cartridges?

Read this HP page:

Hi Shaharz !

As per the information you have provided, I understand that you are receiving an error "Remove and check black ink cartridge" on the All-In-One display screen. If yes, perform the below steps.

Let me provide you the cause of the issue. The most cause of the issue is that if you are using refilled, re manufacture ink cartridges, cartridge is not fitting properly, wrong cartridge no. However, perform the below steps to resolve the issue.

1. Remove the print cartridges from the printer.
2. Clean the print cartridges using the lint free cloth both the cartridges heads as well as inside the printer.
3.Follow the steps below to power cycle your all-in-one:

a. Verify that the unit is switched on. Disconnect power cable from All-in-One and also from wall outlet.
b. Wait 30 seconds.
c. Plug in the power cable to All-in-One and also to wall outlet.

4. Insert only the black ink cartridge first and check the message on the printer.

If the issue is with the black ink cartridge then the same message will be appears on the printer. If not it will prompt you to insert the color ink cartridge.

Do the same procedure with the color ink cartridge.

If the issue persist, then it shows that the issue is with the black ink cartridge. check the expiry date of the print cartridges and try to replace it.

I believe the issue is with the printer itself. However, the printer using the HP 56 and 57 ink cartridges.

As you have mentioned that you have already replaced the black ink cartridge. Then it confirms that the issue is with the printer. However, you can try resetting of the printer to its default settings and check for the issue.

To reset the printer, perform the below steps.

A semi-full reset will do the following:
The user settings to the factory defaults, Language and country settings on some models, Fax logs, Fax headers, Fax speed dial information.

Reset the All-in-One to the factory default settings by using these instructions:

1. Unplug the power cable from printer when the printer is powered on and wait for 20 seconds.

2. Then, press and hold # and 6 while plugging in the power cord.

Continue holding until it displays Semi Full Reset message in the front panel of the All-in-One.

The printer might be turned off after performing the above steps, so no need to worry about that.

Then turn on the printer and check for the result.


Hope this will helps you a lot!!!

With Regards
Mike.

Hi daniel70,

I see that you have put in a new cartridge. Probably worth a shot to get some high quality rubbing alcohol and Q-tips then clean the contact (copper) points in the cartridge slot and on the cartridge.

To do this:

1. Power up the printer
2. Open the cartridge access door on the front right of the printer

The printer will move the cartridge holder assembly to the open-door section where you can get at it.

3, Then, unplug your printer. This protects the unit as you clean the internal contacts.

4. remove the black cartridge and look inside the printer at the cartridge holder slot with a strong flashlight. You will see contact points inside. Clean these with a small amount of rubbing alcohol on a Q-tip and blow the contacts dry.

5. You should also clean the back of the cartridge and make sure that the protective cover (supplied with the new cartridge) has been completely removed. Also, make sure it is dry before you put it back in the printer. Make sure it "snaps" in place as well.

Just a note that you can refill these cartridges many times with no issue and there is no restriction in this printer that prevents you from doing so (my black cartridge has been filled eight times). You can see my tip on this at:
