Printer shuts down for one empty color?

HP OfficeJet Pro 8600

FAQ:
Is there a color printer that won't stop printing when one of the colors goes empty of toner or ink?

Answer:

• From HP, "HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-AiO will continue to print black even if one of the colored cartridge is empty." 
• From Canon, "Canon offers a huge benefit over our competitors with Pure Black technology. What this feature does is when printing the color black (text for example) on any of our color models the printer is not using any of the colors in the print.  Therefore, allowing the printer to print black even if the colors are low/empty.  This feature is found in our laser and inkjet models."

3 Times to Save on Printing Costs

Everyone loves to get the best bang for their buck, but have you ever thought about ways to get a longer life out of your printer cartridges?

On any given day, you have three opportunities to save money on your printing costs: When you create a document; when you print a document; and during routine maintenance of your printer.

Try these simple tips to milk your cartridges for all they’re worth.

When Creating a Document

• Use smaller font sizes and you’ll use less ink. For most fonts, an 11-point or 12-point font is sufficient for regular, daily purposes.
• Don’t over-use the “bold” function or choose “thick” fonts. Century Gothic, Times Roman and Calibri are good examples.
• Read, re-read and read again before printing. Proofing on your screen saves hard copy errors.
• Go the route of digital photos and consider not printing at all! Sometimes a digital file is sufficient, or even preferable, to a hard copy.
• There is special software available for purchase (such as ecofont) that purports to save up to 50% in printing costs.

When Printing

• Catch errors in advance by viewing printer output before you print. Choose “print preview” and take the extra few minutes to re-read your document before committing it to paper.
• Consider printing in “draft” or “grayscale” modes for routine, everyday documents.
• Duplex or combine multiple pages into one page (saves on paper).
• Print only what you need. Free services like PrintWhatYouLike help to get rid of unnecessary and costly clutter when printing web pages.

During Routine Maintenance

• If you get a low-toner message or start to see streaks on your printouts, there is likely still toner left in the cartridge. Simply remove it from the printer and gently rock it from side to side several times (do not shake!). You will likely be able to eke out a few more pages before having to change your cartridge.
• Beware the dreaded clogged nozzles! Before assuming your printer has stopped because of a bad or empty cartridge, run a nozzle check or remove the cartridge(s) from the printer, gently wipe it with a damp cloth, then reinstall and re-try.

By implementing even just a couple of these tips, you are sure to see some cost savings in your printing bill over the long-term.

Use your old printer to save 50% off a new one.

If you have any printers that are more than 3 years old, or any old printers in your closet, then now is the time to consider trading it in for a new.  

• ·         Straightforward printer trade-in program lets you trade in any laser printer and receive a credit towards a new Dell laser printer.
• ·         Award-winning, newly-expanded printer lineup to create the optimal mix of single and multifunction printers.
• ·         Print management solutions to enable printing anywhere on the network while reducing unnecessary printing.

Get an instant 50% off when you trade in any working laser printer for a new Dell laser printer.

• ·         Offer valid from 11/1/2011 through 1/31/12.
• ·         No minimum requirements trade in as many working laser printers as you like. Any manufacturer accepted.
• ·         Instant discount. No waiting 90 days for rebate checks.

Xerox Driver Issue with Mac O/S X 10.7.x Update

We received some new information from Xerox regarding the solution to the problems printing to Xerox printers from Apple computers.

As noted in our previous post, many people are experiencing strange problems or annoying messages after updating to Mac OS X 10.7.2.  We have heard from users of Xerox Phaser printers series 6000, 7000 and 8000, including Phaser 6360, 7760 and 8570.  Troubles reported so far include false consumable messages, the inability to print multiple copies and the inability to select paper trays.

According to Xerox tech support, Xerox is working on fixing these problems in the printer driver.  Previously, we thought the solution would come from Apple, but that is not correct.  The solution will come from Xerox via the driver.  The current driver which is available on the Xerox support site for Mac OSX 10.7 is version 2.0.9, dated August 19 2011.  We recommend watching this site for an updated version of the driver.

The site address is www.support.xerox.com.

In the mean time, work around solutions include ignoring the annoying false messages and saving files in .pdf format.  We will be happy to help users who are having trouble with Xerox Phaser printers.
