In Windows, use this workaround to force your printer to print from one full ink cartridge: • Select Start, then Control Panel. • Double-click on Printer and Faxes. • Right-click on your printer, then select Printing Preferences. • Select the Color tab. • Select the option that's applicable depending on your printer model, e.g., the option to use the black or color cartridge only. • Depending on the cartridge that is out of ink, under the color option, select Grayscale, Print in Color, or Composite. Composite combines the color ink for an almost black color. • If you're out of black ink, change the font for the text to print in brown or dark blue.
