I have a yellow ink cartridge that is depleted but I need to print some material that is just black and white and haven't received my replacement cartridge yet and the printer will not let me print. Is there a work around?

Welcome to HP Forums,
This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips to your technical queries.
I understand that the yellow cartridge is empty and you cannot print in black.
HP Printer is designed in such a way that if one of the cartridges is empty the printer will not print, It will give you an error message.
While printing a document or photo HP printer will uses all the cartridge in the printer while printing.
I suggest you replace the cartridge to resume printing.
Hope this answers your queries!
