Hi @Roz52 

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

 

Thanks for posting your query! We're here to help you get back up and running.

 

Yes, printers that use two cartridges (one black, one tri-color) can print if one cartridge is empty.


To continue printing, remove the empty cartridge from the printer. Select OK if a Single-cartridge mode message displays.

If you are using the black cartridge, prints are in black and white (grayscale). If using the color cartridge, colors print normally but black prints lighter than usual. 

You can continue to print until the print quality becomes unacceptable.

 

If this solution hit the spot, please come back and click "Accepted Solution" to help others find the answer. And if you'd like to say thanks, select "Yes" on the bottom left of the public post, as that would make our day! 

 

Take care, and have an amazing day!

 

Regards,
