You can only use the black ink cartridge without the color ink. But no need to replace them in your printer.
When you print just choose black and white for the printed text must be black not colored. But if you still received such notification...just try to replace the color ink cartridge to continue printing
Note: As per my experience. printer with exclusive black ink alone will damage the printer easily due to unbalance printing of ink

SOURCE: My Brother LC61, bought in

This is common problem with Brother Printers. I am going to assume you are using Non-Brother branded ink cartridges. Brother cartridges have a cleanser in the ink that most generic cartridges don't have. This in turn causes the jets to clog and not allow ink to pass through them. The fix is to go buy a couple of Brother cartridges and do a cleaning with those cartridges. You may spend some money doing this as a cleaning wastes a lot of ink, but it will clean the injection lines and fix the printer. You could also consider buying a new printer. I know this is not the answer you were looking for, but it is the true answer. I just bought a new printer due to this fact.

In case of a problem or clarification or my solution was insufficient, don't hesitate to post me a reply.

If you are satisfied, rate my solution with the "thumbs" or (even better) add a testimonial.

    The printer's lying to me

    The printer requires both cartridges to have ink before the printer will initialize and operational. Even if you are only printing black and white both cartridge have to contain ink or the printer will error out. This is standard on all ink jet printers from every manufacturer. You will have to get ink before you can print.

    My Pinnacle Pro 901 is set to print using black ink only but it keeps telling me I need to replace color cartridges and won't print.

    You won't be able to print if one of the cartridges is out of ink. The printer needs all cartridges with sufficient ink levels to prevent damaging the printhead.

    Every time a cartridge is replaced, all colors are primed simultaneously thus the need for all cartridges to have ink.

    The Lexmark Impact S305 printer requires all the cartridges to have ink in them to continue printing - even if you're printing using black ink only. To print true black, you actually use some of the color ink.
    Note: Leaving the color cartridge empty or dry isn't good for the printer. It can lead to poor print quality if you want to print color in the future.

    When I print from the internet my copy prints my color comes out a different color I think it might be my black ink is off I have a dell 946 all-in-one printer.

    Are you using Dell Series 5 ink cartridges?

    Can you copy a document under the glass? Black & White and color? Do they look ok?

    If you unplug the printer from the wall and remove the power brick for 60 seconds, this will reset any error messages the printer has. I would then plug everything back in.

    Power on the printer.

    Open the printer(with the power on) and take out the Dell Series 5 black cartridge and then reseat it. I would then take out the color Dell Series 5 ink cartridge and reseat it. Now close the printer and it will print an alignment page.

    Any error messages?

    black cartridge = black side(left side) color cartridge = color side(right side)

    photo cartridge = black side(left side) color cartridge = color side(right side)

    Dell Series 5 ink cartridges have a sensor in them that cannot be reset. Article on refilling Dell ink cartridges .

    Dell Series 5 ink cartridges can be purchased at Staples, Walmart or Dell's Website.

    It's possible to get a Dell Series 5 ink cartridge with a bad sensor. I would that these back to the place of purchase for a replacement or a refund.

    and why the other color one is not bad yet cus printer as will known will depend on black ink far more so the black cartridge is heated up more times

    I rwplaced the black ink cartridge a week ago. Now the printer says the colored ink carftridge is emty aand it will not let me print. I only want to print black and white and not able to get to a store...

    The only way to solve the problem is by replacing the color cartridge.
    If you only want to print black and white get a black and white printer.

    After installing re-filled ink cartridges, both color and back & white, the printer message that shows ink level still shows low level ink? How do we resolve?

    Hello,

    Try this procedure:
    1. Open printer lid so cartridges move to center of carriage.
    2. Lift clamp and remove black or color cartridge from the holder.
    3. Place cartridge on table with copper contact strip facing you.
    4. Carefully place a strip of clear plastic tape over the four contacts on the upper left corner of the cartridge.
    5. Reinstall cartridge in printer and close lid. Wait until cartridge returns to parking position.
    6. Open lid and remove cartridge again. Remove tape from left side and place tape over four contacts at upper right corner of cartridge.
    7. Reinstall cartridge in printer and close lid. Wait until cartridge returns to parking position again.
    8. Open lid again, remove cartridge, remove tape.
    9. Reinstall cartridge and close lid.
    Printer will now recalibrate. Once the process is complete the ink level meter should be reading full again.

    I hope this helps, if so please rate our solution.
