My understanding of this printer is that to print it requires all cartidges to be installed, not just a black one.Any empty cartridges have to be raplaced, regardless
Thanks for using FIXYA
When you click file>print or whatever the steps are when the print window then pops up. That is where you select the number of copies etc. There should be a properties button to clicl. When you click that There will be a color tab. You click select print in greyscale and print with black cartridge only.
Thank you,

You try to do a test print? Here you should get an error printing
It sounds like you only replaced the printer cartridge, not the printhead. However, since it sat for an extended period the print head mayneed replacement.
If you know of someone else that has a BJC-85 trytheir print head and see if that resolves the issue. You can buy boththe head and cartridge together, but the cost about $45.
Hope helped with this.

After clicking print, click on properties and go to the color screen and make sure it reads print in grayscale only
Hello Segurry,
To change the settings for your Cannon BJ printer, do this:
After making sure that it is connected to the system.
Click on start, then navigate/go to control panel,
When you get to control panel, look for Printers and Faxes and double-click on it.
Next, locate your printer there and right-click on it, then go to properties.
When you get to this properties pages, click on Device settings, then go to "Installed Print Catridges" and select the black-ink catridge.
You can also change other settings here to suite whatever your printing preferences are.
Kindly keep me posted about this problem and let me know how it goes after doing this.
Hope it helps.
Good luck

THere is no property setting under printers/faxes. I am using a macbook.

What do you mean print dialoge box? I don'y know what/where that is.
Where is the print dialogue box?
Sorry... still waiting.
These do not exist: presets standard select save as give new name and save.
You can find that settings in paper tray and quality.
Hi. Are you still with me?
HI, when I locate my printer in the control panet, the is no "properties" to select. I am using a macbook.
SInce I have a macbook, there is no right click and no properties.
This doesn't work. I have a macbook.
HI, As I said before, there is no option for "properties" I s it b/c I have am acbook?
After I click on print, there IS NOT PROPERTIES CHOICE....and when I click on PROPERTIES< There is no color screen choice.
I am still waiting for a response on the properties issue.
HI, So far no one has addressed the "properties" issue. I found Properties in the Word menu, but there is no color scale on it. THere's just General, Summary, Statistics, etc. No place to click on black ink only.
HOw does that relate to the settings question? I did only replace the cartridge but am not about to spend $45 if I don't know what the problem is! HOw do I do va test print?
NO, It didn't. I'd like some more suggestions.
I can't do a test print. Now the red "error" light is on the printer.
I have fixed the ink color problem. Now the paper is not being moved through the printer. I can hear some wheel s turning but the paper does not move. THen the error light comes on and I have determined that it means "paper jam", but there is no paper in the machine.
Now the orinter is not feeding the paperthrough.
