Product: hp 5740 printer
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

I have this desktop printer that I am thinking about giving to my daughter. Though she won't need to print in color. Can we put just the black cartridge in there and have it print in just black/grayscale?

Hi @Michelleh1,

Yes, you may install a black cartridge only and print using Single-Cartridge Mode with your printer
