Once a cartridge is empty- black OR color, doesn’t matter- the printer will no longer work until that cartridge is replaced.Īll is not lost if you do want an all-in-one, though. Kestris notes that her Kodak all-in-one does the same darn thing. Makes absolutely no sense to me but that’s the score. Currently the yellow is out and it won’t let me print grayscale or “black and white” only prints because there is no yellow ink. I have an all-in-one with tri-color and black ink. They aren’t the only companies to pull this trick, but some tipsters have let us know that there are ways around the flaw.īrandy tells us that her Brother printer also requires yellow ink to print black and white.īrother printers are no better than Epson or Canon. This week, we’ve heard from owners of Epson, Canon, and HP all-in-ones who complain that the devices are a useless lump of plastic without a print cartridge. That doesn’t stop manufacturers from making our gadgets unable to perform other functions when they’re out of printer ink, an intentional flaw that is wasteful and frustrating. I don't see the port it wants me to switch it to.Feed me ink!All-in-one printer/scanner/copiers are nice and all, but everyone knows that you don’t really need ink to scan a picture. I can follow HP's instructions all the way until the Configuring the driver part. I don't have any XP machines to test it on unfortunately, so I guess I'm out of luck as far as that goes. So I'm not going to rule out the possibility of a faulty connection. No luck on my mom's Vista computer either. I proceed to connect it and try to print a test page, but nothing happens, just an error in my printing queue. Through this process my printer is disconnected. I choose to replace the current driver, hit next, put in the printer's name which I leave at default ("hp deskjet 5550 series (HPA)"), hit next again, and it installs. I'm not sure what the difference is, but I picked the first one, then hit next.

Next I hit Windows Update to update the list, go to HP, then I have the option of either of these drivers: LPT1: (printer port) is selected from the dropdown. My process: I went to Devices and Printers, hit Add Printer > Add local printer.

I do not guarantee all drivers or software to work in Vista, but a large percentage do. If the program was designed for Vista skip compatibility mode, just tick "run as administrator" (Skip #4 if installing printer software) If the exe installs software for the device, or you have installed software only, you need to navigate to the program folder where it installed, then do the compatibility thing (1 & 2) again for the program executable(s).
Now double click this setup.exe file to execute the install process, hopefully all will go well and install the drivers/Software you need.Ĥ. Tick the "run this file in compatibility mode" box and then select XP, or whatever OS the software was designed for, in the drop down box, Tick "run as Administrator" if it is available, hit OKģ. Right click on the setup.exe file for the software/driver you are trying to install and select properties, if there is an "Unblock" button on the General Tab, click it, then go to the compatibility TabĢ.
