Will this printer work if one of the - let's say- color ink cartridges run out, or will you have to replace it to be able to print anything?

Unfortunately No, my printer ran out of blue ink and it would not print until I replaced it!

I have not run across this problem yet, but I believe if you print in black you should still be able to print without replacing the color that has run out. Hope this helps.

I don't know either. I haven't had a problem, mostly because A, I usually print in back and white; and B, I always keep a spare set of inks because if I run out, it's going to be after 11 at night!

It will work for a while but eventually you get a message that it is unable to print the quality necessary and you have to change whatever cartridge is out. I have pushed the cancel X on the printer screen & re sent the print job several times to get the most out of my cartridges.

in my experience, you must change the mt cartridge(s). aber dei motoer vill nicht mier.

Check your warrenty. If the printer is still under warrenty you will void the warrenty if you use any ink other than Brother Ink Cartridges.

You can use this to try fixing the problem. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&destPage=document&docname=c03081973&jumpid=reg_r1002_usen_c-001_title_r0001&lc=en&tmp_docname=c03081973 If this doesn't work this is another way to try to get the printer to work. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&sqi=2&ved=0CCkQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fh30434.www3.hp.com%2Ft5%2FOther-Printing-Questions%2F0xc18a0001-Ink-System-Failure-Fixed-in-HP-D7360%2Ftd-p%2F417073&ei=8-bFUoz_MNXSsATvvYCgDQ&usg=AFQjCNHfzok0Yy6WKbr2fsJaPkeQWTSs6A&bvm=bv.58187178,d.cWc There are any other answers shown when you 'Google' HP D7360 ink system failure. Some times this printer will show this failure after it has not been used for a long time or if one or more cartridges run out of ink and printing is continued.

The inability to print something when any of the color cartridges is empty may be a difficulty with many (most? all?) color printers these days. I know in the past when one color ran out, I would still be able print something that just used black ink, but that's not possible with my current color ink jet printer (a Brother all-in-one). I do very little color printing, and I find it cheaper though space-consuming to own two printers, the color inkjet and a laser printer for documents that only require black ink.

Apparently so. I just had the color run very low. In fact, the color red was completely out. The printer didn't care. It continued to print with the colors it had. I did not try to operate the printer with the color cartridge removed.

There are four ink cartridges and the printer will not run if one color is empty. However, when the black runs low, it will ask if you want to use a combination of the other colors. It then runs a little longer. But, once the black is out, even that option will not work.

you need to have some ink in all the cartridges- just about all printers nowadays work that way. any empty cartridge will stop the printer(not sure if it can be empty but in the slot, but i know pulling the empty cartridge will keep the printer from printing.if you only use black the other cartridges will last a LONG time with this printer.

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.

Good luck. I'm glad someone else had a constructive answer for you. I threw that printer out so long ago I forgot I ever had it. Really. Good luck. I mean it.

I can't tell you--the printer was a piece of junk. I did get a replacement-which was also a piece of junk! neither one lasted through a cartridge change.

I have an older Epson and was wanting to replace it for that very reason. I can't print anything when any color is out. So it says I need to replace the light blue and won't let me print anything until I do. Since I never use color, I'm guessing the blue just dried out. At any rate, I can't figure how to override that and just use black. Maybe it is just an Epson thing, as you said, to get us to buy more ink. I'm with you, I want to keep going until the ink fades and I can really see it is almost out.

Beverly~ That I am aware of...you can't. Been there, tried just about everything to get it to work, and nothing. From my experience, you HAVE to have cartridges (color and black) that are at least partially full for either one to work. Pretty crummy, and just another reason I couldn't recommend this printer to anyone. :(

Rob it won't work, once the cartridge is empty the printer will not print. so it's best to buy a new cartridge.

buy a new large cartridge because it will not work , if the ink in the big one is out for some reason

The type of printer is not an issue concerning the computer. However it is more of what type of work you want to produce. I have an Epson WF-3540. I have this printer because it gives me the option of using the other color inks in place of one I am out of. Most of the printers today when you run out of one color ink your printer will stop working until you replace the empty color. It is strictly up to you what you wish to accomplish. Hope this helps.

Cindy, I couldn't get it to work at all. They said sometimes the print heads have to be replaced. A printer would cost less...Bob
