The printer should support printing in single cartridge mode - remove the color cartridge and set it aside, then print with just the black cartrdige.  There may be warnings the printer is in single cartridge mode, you may need to press OK on the driver or front panel to proceed

See page 77 of the user guide here for information on single cartridge mode.
