I was not able to print after the new firmware update with my third-party toner cartridges so I gave in and went looking for new HP toner. I was only able to find the black toner, which is fine because I urgently need to print some stuff in black ink only. The problem I am having is that the printer will not print with only the black toner in it. How can I print with this situation?

Not possible, you need to have all 4 toners if you want to print, no matter black only or in colour all 4 toners must be installed and working.
