Will it print if color cartridge is empty? Thanks.

Sorry, I can't answer that since I have not used up the color cartridge yet.

The black and color are separate cartridges so if the color goes empty, you can still print in black, one of the options in the print menu is to print in grayscale if no color ink or if you just want to conserve the color ink.

Well, I know you can operate the printer with empty color cartridges and it will still print, I am not sure that it would let you print with them removed.

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 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.

That's correct. I have the MG6120 model of this series; it won't do anything (scan or print) if any of the cartridges is empty.

I do not know how to override the empty cartridge indication. My print allowed me to continue to print until it went empty again. I use 240xl or 241 for my printer

When the color ink cartridge runs out it still prints but will not print color content. When the color cartridge is out, the printer will not work.

While I have not yet tried this scenario, I have the feeling that it will scan when ink is low or empty. It printed with an empty cartridge. It might be different without the cartridge installed, empty or not.

It should print without the others. I have had one of the colors run out and just picked the black print option and I was fine.

All four cartridges need to be in place. However, the color ones could be empty and it will still print in black and white.

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.

You did not provide the printer model.Now, did you try to replace the cartridges with ORIGINAL ones? Even empty ones will do, just to test if they are recognized by the printer.(ONE cartridge will suffice for this test.)If the printer will recognize such a cartridge (even an error msg. will serve as 'Recognize'), you know what I already know: never look at this vendor and his products again...

Rob it won't work, once the cartridge is empty the printer will not print. so it's best to buy a new cartridge.

I have printed in only black and white. Just now, I removed the 3 color cartridges, and it would not print. May be missing something, but I think all the cartridge slots must be filled.

just remove the color cartridge and answer ok ok ok, ignore warning signs of color out and print on.

No and Yes. NO YOU CANNOT print if it is the Black cartridge. The printer prevents all printing if the Black cartridge signals empty. In truth, there is plenty of ink left to use. It's a serious problem and was the subject of a lawsuit which Epson settled in the USA. The PRINTER WILL ALLOW you to continue if one of the COLOR cartridges is out.
