Canon MP190 not printing using only black ink, color ink finished

Error code E16 on Canon MP190 printer, because the color ink is finished. I've chosen the "only black" printing mode (on plain paper) - and chose it already before the error code appeared. The E16 code continues blinking. The color ink cartridge is still inside the printer.

My black ink has run out but even after I set it to print from color only, it prints me a blank test page?

Are you sure the color ink hasn't dried out?
Pull the cartridge and carefully wipe the print head across a facial tissue or paper towel. Don't touch the metal contact points on the cartridge as sometimes the smallest static charge can destroy the cartridge.
Depending on the printer, setting it to color it may use only the color cartridge, but more likely it will use both the color and black to make up the print. Setting to black and white, not grayscale will force it to use only the black cartridge.

Here is an explanation, much like I suspected, and a cure.

I cant print it says I'm out of black link and I just replaced it and it's flashing E 1 6

From http://www.refreshcartridges.co.uk/igloo/clearing-canon-pixma-error-message-e13-e16/

Locate the STOP/RESET/RESUME button on your printer which is represented by a triangle within a circle on the body of your printer and is usually in red, white or black as pictured below. With the reset button located hold it down for at least five seconds and then release it.

My canon pixma 190 printer is not working

In printer utility settings, you have to modify the ink cartridge settings and specify that printer should use only black ink cartridge. Click apply. Then press "stop\reset" button for 5-7 sec. and then release
it.
Then it will work!
