How do you print only black when your color print cartridges are empty?

Of course YES. All the color printers are enabled to do that. There are two ways.
1. Even when your color cartridge is full with ink (color) you can print B/W (black). This is done my selecting File>Print>Properties>Advanced>TIFF(monochrome) in windows. Other OS's I dont know. Same way when you are out of color also.
2. When your color cartridges are out of color, the advanced printers can automatically print BLACK. However, this can be done only in few advanced printers like Samsung, HP LASERJET and few others.
I would recommend the first option. Because it gives the right amount of GRAY tinge to the print and it is safe and easy and also works on all occasions.
Better tell all the people that sell printers about this YES answer, most will tell you that NO they will not print in b/w when the color is gone. I hope I'm wrong about this

∙ 15y agoThis depends on your printer. Some printers will not let you print at all until both the black & color cartridges are in & working. Others will let you simply remove the color cart & print black only.
