Yes. Just turn the black and white on and turn color button off. I love this printer

Yes it will. Change color to greyscale. You will be ready to print black and white. Of all the high end printers I have owned this one is the VERY BEST and a low price also. Would recomment this to anyone and am getting ready to purchase another one for my grandson.

If you are out of black ink the printer won't be able to print in black and white. The color cartridge only has colored ink. It is very likely that the two cartridges will not run out at the same time. In the case you describe I believe you would have to buy a new black cartridge to resume printing in black and white.

It will not. You can set it to print black only if you have a low color cartridge or color only if you have a low black cartridge but it requires both cartridges to run and will not print at all if one of them runs empty.I have had some bad experiences with this model. If you don't have it already, I wouldn't invest in it. Just a suggestion.

Not unless you have a white ink cartridge. Inkjet printers "print" white by simply not laying down any ink at all based on the assumption that the paper being printed on is white. You'd have to replace the black ink cartridge with a white one and set the font color to black for this to work.

You can set to print black and white only and it does only use black and white toner, but you have to have color cartridges in the machine for it to work. I don't know if it will keep printing black if out of color toner--I seem to remember that most HP don't allow this. Most laser printers when they do cleaning cycles will use up a bit of color ink no matter what. It's not terribly much, but it can eat away at cartridges over time. They do cleaning cycles when turned on and when waking up. The black toner is also more spendy compared to a black and white only only. We have this for color stuff and a HP N521DN which we use for black and white. The black and white only is twice as fast and the black ink is about 1/3 more economical.

No. You just need to go to "Maintenance", select "Ink Cartridge Settings". There you could select the cartridge to be used for printing. If the empty one is color, then you choose "Black Only" (and vice versa). I hope this helps :)

I don't know the answer when you're printing full color, but when you print grey scale or B&W, you can force the printer to use black only (through the print options.)

It prints color beautifully. I don't think they make a printer anymore that only does black and white.

You need all the color cartridges installed to be able to print in black and white. Also they have to have ink in them. If any of the color cartridges is out you won't be able to print.

Buy or refill the color cartridges. It won't print black and white without them.

Sorry i cant answer that, I do alot of printing in B&W; and some in color. I don't keep track

Yes. It only prints in black. The reason I got this is because if u print in black most of the time u use less ink versus the multi-color printers. Multi-color printer uses all colors even if u are printing in black only, therefor ink runs out quicker and its a bigger expense. Hope this helps.

I take it to kinkos and it prints in black or white or color. Depends what kind of printer you have

There is a black and white printing function, but I have not measured the difference between using that function and not using that function. What I can say is I do very little color printing and I replace the black cartridge 2-4 times before replacing any of the color cartridges.

I believe in your print settings you can tell it to print in B&W;, but default will print however the document is set up. when you are copying you can choose B&W; or color.
