Can ip1300 print with just black ink cartridge?

Cue print, click on priperties, cluck on services should ask if printing in color or geay mode. Select color.

Hi,

The following may work: remove all the ink supplies. Remove the printhead and soak it for about 5 minutes in 0.5" of very hot water. Gently blot the printhead on a soft damp paper towel to remove the excess water, then replace in the printer and then reinstall the ink supplies.

you need to replace both cartridge no. 40 and 41. or try these, go to print test page select restart print while holding the resume button for five seconds.

may be the ink cartridge is empty/not working. remove and return then restart the printer. if empty u can buy a new one. if u are a risk taker buy the black ink then a seridge and a niddle then refill it.

Absolutely, the only thing you need to do is to configure your setting to the right appropriate ink, say for example you ran out of black ink you can go to printing properties and select to be printed in blue, in this case the color match will use magenta and cyan to create blue.
1 select your default printer 2 select printing preference from your printer from there you can change the color of your desired print 3 you can select print in color for example or grayscale 4 then print your document.
cheers

Make sure that you installed the correct ink. It is not enough for it to fit, the numbers on the cartridge have to match those on the cartridges you replaced. You may also have problems with off brand ink that claims to work. Use Kodak ink. Also, many of the Kodak have the ink jet nozzle on the printer, not the cartridge.You can try cleaning in and around the cartridge casing, especially on the copper areas, with an alcohol swab. Then run the cleaning utility on the printer 2 or 3 times.

No you need functioning colour cart for black to work.

these are the cartridges used in 1300

I have an Epson stylus 6000 series, second hand but was working just fine. I changed the ink cartridges and now the color won't print. Utilities shows all cartridges full, but only black and pale green-blue print. While it was printing color it was drinking the ink, but that's another story.

I had the same problem. Had no choice but to buy the colors I ran out to make the printer work. In order to avoid future problems and save on color inked I attempted to follow the steps of a previous posting, however, that did not work for me. This is what I had did. Print, select properties, advance, continue, check box - Black ink only. Remember when you decide to print in color you must reset your setting and take out the check from the - Black ink only.
