Under your printer preferences there is a way to print gray scale. SO even if your image is in color, it will print black and white. Every printer interface is different, but when you go to print, there's usually a properties or setting button that will bring you to another page from the initial print menu. here is where you would choose gray scale.

If you try for black with only a color cartridge, it'll come out a dark green or blue color. Or on some cases, it will tell you it's out of black and you can't print. Most HP printers need at both cartridges in the printer for it to print.

How can I make my HP 930c print with no color cartridge?

you cannot make it print with no cart, but if you have an old one, drill holes in the top and fill with water, 930c uses weight to establish ink level, after much mucking around I have done this today, printing right now :)

Only printing in black after inserting new colour cartridge

If color is coming out gray then you may have grayscale selected in your print settings. If color is just missing, check to see if the tape on the back and bottom of the cartridge has been compelety removed. If that is not it then run the head cleaning. If that doesn't correct it, then you just got a bad cartridge.

Colors don't print correctly. such as green prints as red. what's messed up?

The color cartridge for this printer has three colors (cyan, magenta, and yellow) within it. So if one runs out or is dried up if throws the color out of wack. Try running the head cleaning first but replacing the color cartridge should correct the problem.

Printer wont print

Turn the printer on. Remove the cartridges. Gently clean the electric contacts on the cartridges and the cartridge carrier. Put the cartridges back in. If the light is still flashing, and your printer won't print, one of your cartridges is faulty. I suggest you go to the refill shop and consult them which cartridges needs a replacement.
Does any message appears on your monitor when you try to print something? Usually, a message saying "problem with black/color cartridge" or something similar, that's why I am asking.

HP DeskJet 930c is leaking black ink

The printer primes and cleans the cartridges when the cartridges go to the right side of carriage. Sounds like a cartridge has either leaked or you have used it enough the the ink pool is full, or you have layed the printer on its side or back. From experence, if ink is leaking out of the printer, your probley better off getting anithe printer. I have tried to take the covers off and clean inside print, and it is a messy job.

HP 930C will not print in color

Have you made sure that the plastic strip covering the cartridge is removed? Also, are both of the cartridges installed? Mine won't print if both aren't installed. Next, you might want to check that (in printer settings) your printer isn't configured to print pure black/greyscale. Otherwise, check the HP Site, they have walkthrough guides on how to print tests directly from your printer. Hope this helps. BurntLime

HP printer using color for printing black text

I have solved this issue on other printers by going to the Control Panel, clicking on Printers and Faxes and right click on the printer icon and select Printing Preferences. Most will have the option in the basic or advanced view to select black ink only, this may also be an option in the Paper/Quality tab.
