Ink Usage

[go4it21400]

I have an HP OfficeJet 8022e All-in-One printer and I use 910XL Black ink. How do I change the quality to use LESS ink? I am going through ink so fast. HELP!!

Welcome to the HP Community --

What you do -- and where - at least partially depends on the device (computer, tablet, phone) and the Operating System / version.

What?

Settings differ depending on the app or software you have available to adjust the print quality.

Look for settings that impact Quality and switch to Draft or Grayscale.

Sample - Windows

Create a Custom Shortcut in Printing Preferences

Start with a template on which to build your Custom Shortcut

Reminders

Not every setting can be adjusted and permanently saved as a Custom Shortcut or from job job to the next.  That means, some settings must be set / adjusted / verified each time the Shortcut is used.

This printer requires that all cartridges are installed and are function (have ink).

Reference User Guide 

Pages 122-123

Custom Printing Preferences Shortcut

Start with Shortcut for General Everyday Printing

Edit / Adjust the settings, including the one in Tab Paper / Quality for Color / Grayscale / Block only

Save the settings as a New Custom Shortcut (use Save-As)

Set that Shortcut as the Default for all jobs.

General Example - Printing Preferences - Shortcut = General Everyday Printing

9025_Printing_Preferences_Everyday_9

HP Smart - Windows - Simple PDF Print

Menu - More Settings > Shortcut and Preferences

HP_Smart_Win_PDF_Print_9

What else?

Certainly optional...

Scan in grayscale so you are not later tempted to print in color.

General Example - HP Smart - Windows - Scan - Preset = Photo

Change Output Type to Grayscale

Note the image can also be edited after scan to adjust the Filters to black and white or grayscale

General Example - HP Smart - Mobile - Photo Print

"Color" or not is one of the options in Print Options
