You probably know this already (having read the manual that came with your printer) but I have just "discovered" it and thought it may help someone.

I rarely need to use color in my printing, but the color ink cartridge is forever running out (or drying out?) and costs a lot more than the black cartridge to replace. I have always replaced it as, otherwise, the printer just sits and blinks at me if I don't, refusing to print even a black & white page.

I have just found the set-up box to tick which makes color printing default to black and white. The printer still starts up blinking to remind me I have this set, but if I press the "OK" button it is happy to print without a color cartridge being installed.

Now if I could just get the wireless printing to work...
