does it do color printing

Obvious that it does NOT print other than black. The question should have been does it SCAN a color document. I understand that it does. Of course it will print it in black, but I understand that it will save the scanned document in color (JPG, BMP, etc.) to a chosen folder in your computer.

No. After it runs out of a certain amount of color ink it will absolutely refuse to print, even with a full new black ink when you are trying to print in just black. It's really a rip off and I don't plan on buying one of these again. Right now I have a complete paperweight until I can afford some color ink, even though I never print in color.

No this printer is a black and white monochrome. Look at the Samsung Multifunction in color and monochrome.

No, it does not *automatically* print all spectrum of colors. If you want photo-quality, you will need to do a four-color printing process. Programs like Photoshop and Gimp will separate the colors and you would create a screen for each of the basic printing colors (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black). You would use each screen to print the next color. After all four colors are printed, you will have a photo-quality screen print.

Yes, it will scan in color. It will save in either jpeg or pdf format. Don't know what you want to do with it in OCR.

No. You need four different toner cartridges and software that separates the print image by color (Black, magenta, cyan and yellow) to print color. Color laser printers are a whole lot larger than black/white laser printers for this reason.

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.

Yes. For example if your red, yellow and blue cartridges were empty, it would print black as long as the black cartridge has ink. You can look into the ink levels from any computer, love this printer. I use the Inktoneram Remanufactured Ink Cartridges sold on Amazon. They work great and save me a ton of money which I used to spend on my old HP printer.

Nope, just a little worker-bee of a printer. Wonderful color. Had one for our office about 6 years ago...still working. Bought a second one for adjoining office. Use it for color photography proofs. Just a real little (and quiet) dependable printer.

Yes it does. As a matter of fact thats what I'm printing with at the moment.

I don't know if it will print in black and white if the color cartridge is empty as I just got the printer and haven't emptied the cartridges yet. I assume it will continue to do black and white if you leave the empty cartridges in.

This printer can scan in color, but only prints in black and white. In my experience, most of these machines scan in color.

Yes, but you have to specifically select "Gray scale" in the printer properties. The default behavior is to not print when a cartridge is empty. So when my color cartridges went out I just switched to gray scale to continue printing and I have no plans of replacing the color cartridges.

Although it is a monochrome printer, this device will scan in color... at least if you scan and save in a JPEG format. We have so far been happy with this purchase.

this printer does not use color cartridges to print B&W-- at least not by default. If you are low or out of B&W ink the printer will ask you if you want to use the color cartridges to create black. This was a major selling point for me because I used to hate how HP printers required color to print B&W.

I have only bought black ink for mine. Therefore don't know the answer, but don't think it does color, because ink cartridge is one big drum.

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.
