Printer will not print black ink only

[CLT28213]

6/6/2024, I have a HP Officejet Pro 7740 Printer.  I want to print with black ink only, while I wait for my color ink cartridges to arrive in the mail.  I can't print with black ink only because there is a message on the printer screen saying:" Cartriges Depleted - This printer is intended to work only with new or reused cartridges that have a new or reused HP chip.  Replace the indicated cartridges to continue printing."  I have only used original HP new ink cartridges in my printer.  I have never experienced this situation with my printer before.  

Does HP charge the same price for new and reused ink cartridges?  CLT28213.

Hi @CLT28213,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

HP ink cartridges typically vary in price depending on whether they are new or recycled. New cartridges usually cost more because they contain fresh ink and components, while recycled or reused cartridges are often priced lower as they undergo refurbishing processes before resale. However, exact pricing can vary based on factors like region, retailer, and specific promotions or deals available at the time of purchase. To get the most accurate information on pricing, it's best to check directly on HP website or authorized retailers.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
