I've tried hp deskjet driver 420c and it behaved the same way: 1 I tried to print a test page from the printer property, it won't print with a black cartridge, and it will only print after I changed it to a color cartridge, despite that I specified it to print out gray black and cartridge is also gray, black in the printing properties of the printer.
2 But after I changed the cartridge from black to color, the changing cartridge light on the printer still keeps blinking so I canceled the printing job. And the changing cartridge light still keeps blinking after the job is cancelled. 3 So I turned off the printer, and turned it on, and it printed out a garbage paper, with several bars of an inch wide of colors, kind of wasting all the ink!
