A:Answer No. This is a 4 ink system with Black, Cyan, Magenta and Yellow. If one of the cartridges is out of ink, you can continue printing for a short time using the other cartridges. You can print either in grayscale or in composite black. You must replace the cartridge soon. This message might not appear in some cases, depending on how you print.
Also, if one or more color ink cartridges are low but not empty and you want to minimize the use of color ink, change the settings in the HP software to print with black ink only (grayscale). If you print with black ink only, the other ink cartridges must have ink for the printer to print.
