@Dag1302, Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
You can print using only the black cartridge on your HP DeskJet 2710e All-in-One Printer by following these steps:
Install the Black Cartridge: Ensure the black cartridge is properly installed in the printer.
Set Printer Preferences:
- Open System Preferences on your Mac.
- Go to Printers & Scanners.
- Select your HP DeskJet 2710e printer from the list.
- Click on Options & Supplies and then Show Printer Webpage.
- In the printer's webpage, navigate to Settings or Preferences.
- Set the print mode to Black Ink Only or Grayscale.
Print a Document:
- When you print a document, make sure to select Black & White or Grayscale in the print dialog box.
Single-Cartridge Mode: Your printer should automatically switch to single-cartridge mode when the color cartridge is removed.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
