How can I make an HP DeskJet print without an installed color cartridge?

I have an HP DeskJet 812C and I only have a black ink cartridge for the printer, luckly I only need to print in B%26amp;W, but the amber ink light is flashing and the printer wont print anything... not even a test page from it's properties menu. Any thoughts?How can I make an HP DeskJet print without an installed color cartridge?
No, you have to have both cartridges in there even if you only want to print in black. No matter what settings you change on your computer, your printer is still going to lock you out until there are two cartridges in there.How can I make an HP DeskJet print without an installed color cartridge?
what if the color/black cartridge is empty? I have a dual starter cartridge in there that comes with the printer; it gives me an error message, saying no cartridge on the right, but it does print. If I leave it in there and when it runs out put in a black cartridge on the right, will that work? Report Abuse

no probs...go ahead with B%26amp;W only..it waont cause any probs.
