PIXMA MX850 Scan when color cartridge's are out of ink?

[JBF]

Hello, Please advise as to why I am unable to print black and white or scan without the color cartridge's. Thanks.

Hi, JBF!

So that the Community can help you better, we need to know exactly which Canon printer model you're using. That, and any other details you'd like to give will help the Community better understand your issue!

If this is a time-sensitive matter, search our knowledge base or contact our US-based technical support team at http://canon.us/SupportCF

Thanks and have a great day!

Thanks, figured it out. Just have to hold the red triangle button down for a few seconds.
