My color ink cartridge is out, and now I can't print plain black and white documents. I know my black ink cartridge is full because it is new. What's up? Thanks,
Suzanne
A part solution is print/properties/maintenance/ink cartridge settings/select black only.
You do initially have to buy another color cartridge but you won'thave to buy another expensive color cartridge again in the future.

My Printer is a PIXMA iP6600D - I never print in color but I always have to replace some color or another every now and then because the ink evaporates and when even one color is missing I can't print even in B&W. It's pretty annoying. There's a certain point with printers when you realize it's cheaper to buy a new one that might be better than to keep replacing ink you don't use.
same problem
I have a HP Office Jet K60. My color cartridge is empty. I replaced only the black ink cartridge due to lack of funds. My printer sends a message 'remove and check color cartridge' in the mean time, the printer will not print.
Can't the printer print out only with the black ink cartridge?
You need to click on the maintenance tab and change the settings to 'print in colour'. Where it is though, I don't know. I'm in the process of finding out.
I have the same problem but I think I may have sorted mine out.
I went to the control panel double clicked "Printers and Faxes" from here I right clicked on my printer and chose "Properties" here I was given a box with my printer settings etc. I chose "Printer Prerences" this gave me another bow with more settings here I chose the tab "Color" and ticked the bow which stated "Print In Grayscale" And then I pressed "Apply"
I have not yet tried this to see if it works but I am about too. Wish me luck! and I hope this helps others :)
