Will Epson Stylus CX3810 not print in black and white if just the cyan cartridge is empty?

No, it will not. I have this printer and last week I ran out of cyan. Even though i only wanted to print black and white documents the printer would not print anything until I replaced the cyan cartridge.

If you print using the other colours, your colours will not be true.
your other option is to print in black only .

I have a CX4800 and after clicking Print, I click Properties, then check Black ink only (is this how you are printing black and white - or is your document black and white)
If you haven't tried this option - it is worth a shot.

all epson type need all catridge put in a head, if you want use black only, you can buy ciss sistem

search through your manual for grayscale options... this is usually code word for black and white...

You can't print in black only mode because printer need all cartridges not empty to initialized and working.Don't try to refill this cartridges, it's have a chip and you need to reset it too.Just look in your are for non OEM ink cartridges.Thea are 2-3 times cheaper.

Epson printers Will NOT print with any empty cartridge installed.(any Colour) replace the empty carts and you should be on your way

hi,i think the problem of ur printer cartridges i is'nt refill....u try to refill it....or clean up ur cartridges.

are the epson ARC chipsets available on office depot or big retailers?

The printer will never do that, once the cartridge is spent a little divine device inside tells the printer it's been used and spent. You can still print to from the cartridge but it wont warn you when your low on ink, price you pay for not buying a new cartridge.
