Hello, and welcome to the HP Community @naristot,

 

I understand you would like to know if you can continue to print with black ink if one of the colour cartridges is empty. I will be happy to help.

 

This printer was designed to work as a four cartridge system, so you must have all four cartridges with ink available in order to be able to print.

 

If this helps show appreciation for my reply by hitting the “thumbs up” below, or click the "Accept as Solution" button if I have helped you reach a solution.
 
I hope this helps, and have a great day.
