Product: HP Envy 4520
Operating System: Chrome OS
Will the HP Envy 4520 print black only if the color cartridge is empty? Recently bought one and am pleased with the unit so far. Found a list of of HP printers that require ink in all cartridges but the Envy 4520 wasn't listed. However, I'm not sure how up to date the list is. Just trying to plan ahead. Thanks in advance.
