Welcome to the HP support community.
I understand that you want to print in single-cartridge mode, I am glad to assist you.
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.
Keep me posted.
If this helps, please mark the public post as an accepted solution so that it benefits several others.
Cheers.
