MG3200 asks me to confirm I want to print in black only each time I use it? How do I turn this off?

My MG3200 ran out of color ink, so I changed it to only use the black ink via settings, and I also set it to print in greyscale. Every individual page I try to print causes it to stop and ask me for confirmation. I do not want to buy color ink, I only print black & white Ebay, PayPal, USPS & FedEx labels with it. Is there anyway to get it to print black only without it screeching to a halt and asking me for confirmation? I tried removing the color ink, it then wouldnt print at all.

Hello.

 

If the printer is set to either the black only or color only modes, a warning will appear with each print job.  This cannot be disabled.

The warning wouldnt be an issue if I didnt have to click something every single time to confirm so I can move onto printing. Im just going to throw this thing in the trash, Im not gonna be strong armed into buying color ink that I do not even use, what a racket. 

 

Canon has really disappointed me. My old Canon printer was great years ago, this thing requires color to print in black & white, my old canon point n shoot camera was great, the last two I bought were horrible. 

 

Garbage.
