Hi @DangerousDevall 

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! We're here to help you get back up and running.

 

The HP OfficeJet 7210 typically requires both black and color cartridges to be installed and functioning—even for black-only printing or photocopying. If the color cartridge is missing, empty, or faulty, the printer may refuse to operate

 

I am afraid for your printer model ink is required in all cartridges to print and to perform periodic servicing to prevent clogs and other print quality issues. 

 

There is no way to bypass this feature.

 

Please replace the indicated cartridge to continue printing.

 

The depleted cartridges above must be replaced to resume printing.
