Printer was out of ink, I replaced the black ink but not color, printer still will not print. Do I need to install new color ink as well to get the printer to work, or do I need to do something when I install the new cartridge
You need to print only in black if that is all the ink you have, and also you need to remove the color cartridge as it still registers in the printer as able to be used, although it is empty or near so. Did you remove the tape over the print head fron the new ink cartridge? Do a print head alignment, or use the toolbox icon to tell the printer that you just replaced the cartridge. Some HP models chip the ink cartridges so even a refill wont register as a full tank and the printer wont print. chip needs to be reset (difficult) or just replaced with a new cartridge.
You can "trick" your printer to print with black only if you put your empty color cartridge back into the printer. The printer will not print black only without both a color and black cartridge installed.
