HP Photosmart C4385 All-in-One Printer

I have an HP Photosmart C4385 printer that requires that both cartridges (an HP 74 black one and an HP 75 color one) be in place.  I don't need to print in color. Will the printer operate with an empty color cartridge in place along with a black cartridge that has ink?

Alden,

Thanks for your reply.  I tried all of the possible ways to contact HP online before posting in the HP Community discussion board but there was no way for me to contact technical support including via the link that you sent to which I had already tried.
