The reason your HP OfficeJet 7510 printer requires all cartridges (even the ones not being used, such as color cartridges if you're printing in black and white) to be installed is due to how the printer's internal system and printhead work. Here are the key factors:
- Printhead Dependency:
The HP OfficeJet 7510 uses a combination of ink from all cartridges to ensure optimal printhead performance. Even if you're printing in black and white, the printhead may rely on color ink to keep the printheads moist and functioning correctly. If any of the cartridges are missing, the printhead could dry out, causing damage or poor print quality.
- Cartridge Circuitry:
HP printers use microchip technology in their cartridges to communicate with the printer. If one of the cartridges is missing or not properly inserted, the printer may detect it as a fault and refuse to print, as it believes there’s an issue with one of the cartridges. Even if you're printing only black text, the printer expects to have all cartridges in place for proper operation.
- Color Ink Usage in Black-and-White Printing:
In some cases, even when you're printing black and white, the printer may use a small amount of color ink to enhance print quality (like for gradient or sharpness) or to avoid clogging the printhead. Therefore, without all cartridges in place, the printer cannot perform this function properly.
- Preventing Ink Drying:
Printers like the HP 7510 rely on all ink cartridges being installed to ensure the ink system remains balanced and operational. If one cartridge is removed, it can lead to air pockets or clogging in the system, especially if the printer tries to run without a necessary ink source.
- Firmware Restrictions:
HP sometimes sets its printers to require all cartridges, as part of a design decision to ensure the printer works reliably and avoids problems related to incomplete or suboptimal ink usage.
Workaround Options:
Use "Ink Level" Mode: Some HP printers have a "single cartridge mode," which allows printing with just one cartridge (usually the black) if needed. Check the settings or user manual to see if this option is available on your HP 7510.
Refill or Replace Empty Cartridges: If one of your cartridges is empty or faulty, replacing it with a full one should resolve the issue.
In summary, the printer requires all cartridges to be installed to prevent issues with print quality, the printhead, and the ink system's integrity.

Consumer Choice For Ink Cartridges?
Printer ink cartridges were once available exclusively from printer manufacturers who needed to recover their profits that were lost when they sold inkjet printers at or below cost to persuade consumers to purchase from them. Those days are gone forever, thankfully. Now, there are so many aftermarket sources of quality print ink cartridges that it is possible to choose between OEM cartridges, re-manufactured cartridges, compatible cartridges and refills. All these options greatly benefit the consumer.
