Firefox 3.6.10 won't allow me to choose black cartridge only for printing an my HP Officejet 6500 (not wireless).
Black cartridge only selector is not active.

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.
