it won't print. even when i put it on grayscale it won't print. had i known that i wouldn't have purchased it. my old mfc could print black and white when the color was empty now with this one if one color is gone...i gotta run to staples and get ink. i am thinking about putting my old mfc back out i think i just need a toner for it. i didn't know about replacing the toner or i wouldn't have bought a new printer. they don't make my old mfc anymore but i thought this would replace it but it is not as good as the old one it just looks more high tech but now i can't fax, i can't scan for some odd reason and i can't print in black and white, big pain in the butte.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would think it would if the other colored are empty it will use the black ink. But it will keep warning you the other colored are running low. If it doesn't change it to grey print in the printer setup.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.My unit is too new to have emptied any of the 4 cartridges, but I'm all but positive I remember reading in the manual that running out of any color will disable all printing, including black. I don't understand why it was designed that way, but all you need to do is to ensure your always have back-up cartridges at the ready.
