I bought this printer because I thought you would be able to print with the black cartridge only when the color cartridge was empty. My black ink is more than half full and the color is low/empty. When I am printing it is not printing properly. Is there a way to add a photo here? I could show you how it is printing.

This printer will print in single cartridge mode, just remove the color one.

I was wondering if the Envy 5660 will also work with using only the black cartridge?

HP Recommended
