We have an older model and we went through hell trying to get it to print without a filled color cartridge. Finally discovered that the operator was pressing the "print" button which called for a color copy. It was not obvious what to do when you wanted black only. There is "another" print button for black only. We went round and round with HP, always the answer was you have to have color ink with this model. We still jump through hoops to get black copies. We use an Epson laser for printing, although the HP might print from a computer if we ever tried it. HP likes to have a "jet" siphon into your bank account. In bed with M$. -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ http://elect-pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
