The problem is your printer:

I also have the OfficeJet 6500 and had the same problem. The black text was printing using a mix of colored inks instead of the black ink, resulting in a grey, fuzzy text. I finally found a solution. In each application under Page Setup, there is an option called "Format for". Mine had been set to "Any Printer". I changed that to "Officejet 6500 E709n [830E4A]" and now it prints the black just fine. I have a Mac running 10.4.11. Hope this helps.

Have you tried File > Print > Properties (next to printer name) should open HP's options dialog; mine has a color tab that allows black only print. If I remember correctly, choosing this way, sets black only cartridge only for the current session; to change permanently, you need to change in the HP Director dialog.
