Product: Deskjet 2652
I ran out of color ink and tried to switch it to just the black cartridge and set it for black and white and it still is blinking for the color ink. Do I need to leave the empty cartridge in the printer?

Hi,
Keeping the empty cartridge in the printer will prevent printing or cause print quality problems.
You may either replace the cartridge or remove the empty cartridge from the printer, then it will switch to reserve mode and allow printing using the black ink only.
