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.

I think that's right. I thought the object of having 3 different color ink cartridges was if one ran out you only had to replace that one. Not all of them. I was a bit disappointed with that.

Hello. Although I have always replaced the cartridge when the printer indicates a cartridge is empty, I think you need to have some ink in each of the cartridges for the printer to work. There is, however, a warning message that pops up quite a while before a cartridge will be empty, giving the user plenty of time to have one in reserve. You do not need to replace all the colored cartridges, just the empty one.

I don't know but the printer "decides" that cartridges need to be changed even with little use. We have some of these at our office and they are set to print Black and White only. The printer still forces us to change the color cartridges once in a while.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The one thing I love about the HP F380 was that if the color runs out, I CAN STILL PRINT WITH BLACK ! ... Many printers will not print If one cartridge is out (even I only want to print in B&W;)

The HP LaserJet Pro M1212NF will copy a color document. However it can not print color.

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 :)

How about ink usage? Will it print if one of the colors is out? Or, does it completely shut down and make you buy a new color cartridge before it will print again?Thanks.

We have 3 HP printers in our office. Our 7110 has never run out of color ink but when the other 2 run out of color they will not print at all, this even happens if the color dries up.What you might do is simply create a custom printer setup for grayscale printing. That is what we have done. The computer which has that reverts to that setting every time and no color is used. You should still print a page in color (or a self test) once every 4-6 weeks to keep the printheads from clogging.

From what I know about my printer is leave the empty color cartridge in there and it should just print black & white. At least that's what mine does.

The ink cartridges that come with the printer do not seem to be fully filled and do not last long. You will want to buy new cartridges soon.I was able to use re-manufactured cartridges. You just have to press and hold the red Stop button for about 5 seconds after the alert light comes up showing that a newly installed cartridge is out of ink. Do not cancel the print job. When the light goes out, continue printing as you normally would. The LCD panel will show it can not determine the ink level of the cartridge, but it will print just fine.

I don't think this is possible. The printer software needs to detect a color cartridge. But you can use the software to turn off color and print only in black and white.

yes, that is what it says and confirmed by their tech folks when I was on the phone with them.. annoying not to be able to print B&W when a color runs out..

I can't say for sure, check to see what color the connector is on the printer, this one is pink or light purple they used to color code power connectors.
