It is obvious that the color depletes itself even if you dont print in color on this ip1800 Canon printer.

Topic: How to print without a color cartridge- Canon Pixma (Read 193168 times).

So, I always print in black white bc I just print out documents.

Ive had an old, empty color ink cartridge sitting in there, though.

Today I took the empty black cartridge out to recycle at Staples, as I was going to buy a new one.

I got the bright idea to also take out the empty color cartridge, so that I could get that recycling credit, too.

Well, now it will not print without a color cartridge, even an empty one, installed.

Printing cannot be executed bc the ink cartridge may not be propertly installed, blah blah blah.

Is there any way to bypass this I dont want to have to buy a new color cartridge, as I wont even use it Help, please.

You cant force the printer to re-recognize color cartridge by inserting an empty one.

Therefore i can most positively confirm that you CANNOT use the printer with ANY cartridge removed or indicating empty (removed or not).

I leave it to your imagination as to why they have done it that way.

My personal decision based on the facts i just stated was to NEVER purchase a Canon product of any kind from now on and to council against anyone else doing so either.

I am sorry that as with myself this does not solve your printing desires.truenorth.

I have 4 Canon IP series printers of various models in my office and all will print without all of the cartridges, or even with empty ones.

The magenta and yellow ones were removed a month ago and it still works fines (it prints my black and white receipts).

Currently, Ive got an Epson that wont print if any of the ink levels are almost out.

But in the past I had a HP that would print black and white with the black cartridge removed and it used the color cartridge to print black.

Unfortunately, this is usually something you find out the hard way.

That is why I junked it after only 18 months and bought a laser printer (Canon LBP2900, cost 45 UK pounds, supplied with full capacity 2500 page toner cartridge, cost 35 UK pounds which is still going strong after 2 years.) If I want colour I take a pen drive to one of many photo shops in my city.

For example, you would be printing a page of red text, the printer would run out of red and print in yellow instead.

What I meant was that a replacement cartridge will cost me 35 UKP when I eventually need one.
