I have just purchased a HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M283fdw and wanted to check that it works properly. Can I print using just black toner cartridge as I do not want to purchase a whole set until I know the laser jet is functioning properly.
Regards.

If you have only a black toner cartridge installed the printer will ask to install 3 color cartridges.
If any cartridge is empty or missing the printer stops.

Thank you for your reply.
One last question, do all the cartridges need toner in them for the printer to work, i.e. if I only wanted to use a new HP black toner cartridge to check if the printer functions normally, would that work?
