When the color cartridge is empty and the black cartridge is full, Does the HP LaserJet continue to work? -

I ve got a good offer for used HP LaserJet 2550L but i don t really need to print in color. can i just replace the black cartridge and keep using the printer even if the color cartridge is empty?

yeah...just change your settings to print in only black and white and it will print just fine. there should be a button on the top of your printer that says print black and white or print color and push the print black and white button. If not, go into printer settings under start menu and click on printers and faxes. from here, right click on your printer icon and go to printer prefrences and go to services and click on the icon that says HP toolbox and go to configuration and click on the scroll bar and select black print cartridge only

The printer will probably whimper and not initialize if the color cartridge is empty.

you have to change your print settings to quot;print in grayscalequot; and it will print color things as black,gray,white etc

Only if you are not printing anything in color. It has to be all Bamp;W or greyscale or you will get an error.

yeah
