Hi
I print a test page and it prints the black text fine. I don't use the colour often, if at all. Why do I need to purchase ink to print in black only? How do I disable colour printing and remove the warning?

Hi dmak1000,
The use of each ink varies depending on the color of image to be printed or the contents of document. Two kinds of black ink (PGBK and BK) are used automatically depending on the media type to print or on the settings of the printer driver. PGBK is used mainly for printing text-based documents and BK is used mainly for printing photos, illustration, etc. Black-and-white printing may also use ink other than black ink. So, color ink is consumed even when printing in black-and-white.
To use only the PGBK ink tank, the original text must be black and the paper setting must be set to Plain Paper.
