Can I print with black ink only on my h/p Deskjet 2700e... Or do you have to have both cartridges?

Both cartridges are needed and they cannot be empty and must be genuine to print or to scan.

 

From Google's AI quote:  The HP DeskJet 2700 printer will not scan if it is out of ink. HP All-in-One printers are designed to not work without ink.
