when the color ink cartridge runs out will it work just w/the black ink ?

I think most HP deskjet printers work on one cartridge . Just pull out color and turn on it well tell you it's in single cartridge mode .

Yes, but it changes shades and sometimes makes the printing look like the results of wearing 3D glasses. I have learned to keep back up cartridges of both color and black so I can keep functioning.

Have never tried it so not positive but any other printer needs a supply of black and color

No. cartridges seem to have a short life. Wish they were longer. Black is extra long which is good.

Yes. It'll keep printing until the ink cartridge is completely empty. For example, if the black cartridge runs out, you'll eventually get a blank page as you continue to use the printer.

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 :)

you may need two inks, one black one color ink into printer or ink is empty.

I was not happy with the re-manufactured black ink cartridge. The on-line status tells me that my ink is out. I was able to monkey with it and it does print, but I could not tell you what I did or how I did it. I've already ordered my official HP black ink for when this does finally quit working. Sorry, I realize this is not helping.

Yes, if you run out of the colored ink, you must select "grayscale printing" from the print options on your computer, in order to just use the black ink to print. If you don't select "grayscale" it will not print if colored ink is missing.

I don't know for sure, but it seems to operate like other inkjet machines which leads me to believe it may not function without the colored ink. However, the colors don't cost any more then the black so it may not make any difference to your ink expenses.

I have two colors that are very low in ink in my printer and the printer continues to print in black with no problem. I love this printer!

The best way I have done this is keep an empty cartridge in the color slot and a full black in the black slot.. Since it wont work with an empty slot. Black on Black may cause problems.

No, it won't print if is out of color ink. It already happen to me. Even though I was trying to pring a black copy.

Rena is wrong. It will print "Black" using the Color Cartridges in a" run out situation". You can replace individual cartridges . It is not necessary to replace them all at a time. Replace as they run out.

No it won't, when it says the ink cartridge is low is the best time to refill and when refill it best it set over night. Sometimes it's not needed.

I think is does. You will need an empty color cartridge without ink. Ignore the blinking light and computer notification that the ink is low or out.

Yes it will but you need to have a red ink in also even if it is empty.You just go to advance when you are ask and pull down black ink only. saves MONEY.

This "product" is that you are using the ink cartridge type. The color is "black"

Who knows. I bought a color and black cartridge and the color one would not work but the black cartridge did.
