Will this print if one of the other cartridges is out of ink? I have a printer (not a HP) that won't print unless all cartridges have ink. Thank you

No. It will not. It has been our experience that if you have to replace one, you will have to replace all of them at the same time in order to print. It will not print "in black ink only" if a color is low/depleted. So, if you print mostly with black ink. I would highly recommend buying the smaller color cartridges and the XL black.

Rena is wrong. It will print "Black" using the Color Cartridges in a" run out situation". You can replace individual cartridges . It is not necessary to replace them all at a time. Replace as they run out.

Before panicking, I would unplug the printer for 30 seconds after shutting it down, and do a reboot with the new cartridge in. If that doesn't work you can try it with the old cartridge in and then change cartridges after the reboot. I'm figuring you probably have this resolved by now, so can you tell us what ended up happening? Thanks.

I just tried taking out the cartridge to print a photo and the printer doesn't appear to work without a cartridge in the slot. So I don't think it will work without the cartridge.

If you are out of black ink the printer won't be able to print in black and white. The color cartridge only has colored ink. It is very likely that the two cartridges will not run out at the same time. In the case you describe I believe you would have to buy a new black cartridge to resume printing in black and white.

It will if you have the right print some printers will not print unless all the color inks are inplace.

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.

Your printer will tell you which cartridge(s) needs replaced. And the other cartridges can be stored for later. ;)

It will not. You can set it to print black only if you have a low color cartridge or color only if you have a low black cartridge but it requires both cartridges to run and will not print at all if one of them runs empty.I have had some bad experiences with this model. If you don't have it already, I wouldn't invest in it. Just a suggestion.

No. In fact, if only one of the other cartridges runs out of ink, you are stuck. It will not print even a test page in black

Hello, I do have 3 printers working good with this non oem cartridges. Do not see a problem, why the printer should get damaged. Unless U use the printer frequently, so that the ink does not dry in the ink head. This also will happen with the original ones. The manufacturers make their monnies through the ink cartridges, not the high end printers sold at cost. Have fun Brgds

I am not certain about this model but several earlier models of HP printers that I have had would NOT print when any ink cartridge was empty. I am away from my printer for a few weeks now but I'll test it when I get back.

Sometimes you have to take one out, power cycle the printer, and put the cartridge back in (sometimes more than once) to get it to recognize it as good. If there's still problems, I would suggest that not all of them be removed at once, just one. Also be aware that much of the time, the printer seems to not recognize the ink level of the cartridges unless it thinks the cartridge is empty and you "replace it" after it tells you to. Just filling them up (in or out of the printer) the printer doesn't really refresh what it thinks the ink level is.

If the black is not empty, it will print in black even with one of the colors is empty. It seems all ink is expensive. Sell the printer cheap, and make your money off the ink.

There are four ink cartridges and the printer will not run if one color is empty. However, when the black runs low, it will ask if you want to use a combination of the other colors. It then runs a little longer. But, once the black is out, even that option will not work.

I am not able to print in B&W; if any of the colors are out, it is probably the most frustrating aspect of this printer. I've tried specifying black and white, I've tried removing the empty color cartridge, etc. it refuses to print and just shows an error that the cyan (or whatever color it may be) is out of ink.

I had the same problem. In my case, it wasn't the cartridge. I eventually purchased another printer.

If any cartridge is empty, the printer will no work. I always have cartridges on hand, but you should get a warning that one is running low
