I have set the preferences to grayscale. I have two color cartridges that are low and are showing a warning. How can I print in black and bypass the low ink warning on the color cartridges? Thanks!</P> Fri, 25 Mar 2016 18:36:10 GMT tbed9 2016-03-25T18:36:10Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Desktop-Inkjet-Printers/Printing-in-black-with-low-color-cartridges-with-MX-922/m-p/168449#M42542 <P>Hello I'm trying to print in black only.
