How can I print when one of my ink cartige is ementy?

Hello, Keith -

You cannot. You will need to install a full ink cartridge for the ink which is currently depleted.

Even for just black print, even if the black ink cartridge is not empty, these days, most if not all color printers use a combination of the color inks, cyan (blue), magenta (red), and yellow with the black ink to print black and shades of gray. The printers are designed only to print with ink in all the cartridges.

Best wishes.

Welcome to Fixya

This means the the printer cannot determine which cartridge is causing the error. Make sure that you are using original HP cartridges.

Please see troubleshooting procedure below:

Remove the color cartridge from the left stall (which has a blue latch) and refasten the latch. Leave the other cartridge in place.
Close the printer, wait 10 to 15 seconds, then look at the LCD display.
- If the LCD display reads Insert Color Cartridge in Left Stall , the color cartridge may be causing the problem. Follow the steps below:
  1. Clean the color cartridge contacts. Click here to see how.
  2. Reinsert the color cartridge into the carriage and close the blue latch.
  3. Close the printer and wait 10 to 15 seconds.
  4. If the LCD display reads Remove and Check Print Cartridges , replace the color cartridge.
- If the LCD display reads Remove and Check Print Cartridges , follow the steps below:
  1. Reinsert the color cartridge.
  2. Remove the black or photo cartridge, depending on which one is installed in the right stall. The right stall has the gray latch. Be sure to refasten the latch on the empty stall.
  3. Clean the black or photo cartridge contacts.
  4. Reinsert the black or photo cartridge.
  5. Close the printer and wait 10 to 15 seconds.
  6. If the LCD display reads Remove and Check Print Cartridges , replace the black or photo cartridge.
If replacing cartridges fails to correct the problem, click the link at the top of this page to contact HP.

My printer is printing in pink color how can i change it to black

Sounds like your black cartridge is either empty or clogged. Take out the black cartridge and press the print head against a moist paper towel. You should see a nice black rectangle, if you don't you could try placing the print head on a wet paper towel for a few minutes to wick out the ink (ink may seep through the paper towel so beware what surface you do this on). If after this there is still no ink flowing, buy a new cartridge.

Printer will only print color pictures in black and cyan

Hi, this printer color cartridge contains all colors in one. So if you can print with one color means that the whole cartrige is ok but one or more colors ended. And you should had a low ink message on screen if it was genuine HP. Best thing to do is to go and buy a new one cartridge and see how it will go. This cartridge is green color.
