Why Won't My Printer Print In Black?
My Hp Officejet 4500 will not print black ink. Instead it prints black text in gray. When I do print preview on my computer, the text shows up in black, so I assume the problem must be with the color scheme settings in the printer. How do I change the color scheme settings so that my printer prints in black when the document is typed in black?
