HP OfficeJet 200 - Single Cartridge Mode won't work

[Gebirgskuchen]

Hello everyone,

on my HP OfficeJet 200 the Single Cartridge Mode won't work. 

I only have installed the black color cartridge and NO color cartridge.

Everytime I want to print some documents I always have to open the access flap to the cartridges, then close it to kinda "activate" the Single Cartridge Mode (theres a message on the printers screen). Then the printer starts to print.

I have to follow these steps everytime I want to print something. Otherwise my laptops tells me the printers cartridges are empty.

Is this normal behaviour?

Regards,

Daniel

The behavior might be "normal" in the sense that the printer can apparently print with only one cartridge -- 

That said, the explanation seems to say that printer does not like extended "printing with just one cartridge".

There is a warning about possible ink system damage if the other cartridge is not replaced.

Consider replacing the missing cartridge with a new HP color ink cartridge.
