Hi there, I am having issues printing black only pages without having to replace the expensive color cartridges for my HP Pagewide Pro 577 MFP printer. Is there any way out of this without having to replace the color cartridges that are very expensive?

If any colour cartridge is empty the printer will stop printing even b&w. That is to prevent the printhead from failure, if the printhead fails then the printer is for the recycling yard.
