Do any Canon printers AIO print with one empty cartridge?

We are looking for a new printer all in one AIO, anyone have ideas, looking at MX922 at Costco. We would like one that will print if a cartridge is out, considering how many cartridges these have. Thanks for any help.

Hi vanbass!
Unfortunately, none of Canon printers will print when an error condition is present. When an error condition occurs, the printer stops functioning until the error has been corrected. This is the same with all of our printers. The best thing we can recommend is to keep an eye on the ink levels and replace the ink when it gets low. If you only print in black ink, then we recommend using Plain Paper and Draft or Standard as the quality setting. This will ensure that only black ink is used.

C4188 - printing with one cartridge

Is it possible to print with one cartridge installed? I am having problem with black cartridge so i removed it. The printer refuses to do anything with just color cartridge installed. Annoys a lot !!! It is a pure show stopper.
Thanks in advance.

Hey @VIC-GEISH ,
Thank you for taking the time to post on the HP Forums today! Hope you enjoy the experience.
So there are a few things that I have to let you know. No printer, HP or not can print only black that is an InkJet. The reason for this is because many people would print only black with their multi-colour printers and the ink wells for the coloured cartridges would dry out and never be usable. So whether you select black only or greyscale you are still going to be printing some colour in those printouts so that the printer will be able to print colour when you need it to.
If using ONLY black was what you were trying to get the instructions for, unfortunately that is not possible. If you want to print ONLY black i recommend looking into laser black only printers that are multi-function, black only printers. They don't use ink they using toner power cartridges that last a very long time but are more expensive. We have those options in our HP LaserJet line.
Hope this helps! Have a great day!
I worked for HP.

OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus - N911g - refuses to print with an exhausted cartridge (yellow)

Hi,
I owned this printer some months ago, and I have already substituted the black cartridge some times ago.
In fact, I usually use the b&w option to print my documents, and I use very little to no colors, instead.
Before deciding to buy this printer I had read the printer guide, which reports (translated from Italian):
[Printing with one or more cartridges exhausted]
The printer can work with one or more cartridges exhausted. However, printing with exhausted cartridges slows the printing process down and lowers the quality of the documents printed. If the black cartridge is exhausted, blacks are not going to be really dark. If a color cartridge is exhausted, the result is in the grey scale. As soon as possible, replace the exhausted cartridge. Don't remove the exhausted cartridge before you can replace it with a new one. [...]
(screenshot attached)
The downloadable user-guide reports (no translation):
[Color cartridge very low on ink]
To temporarily print using black ink only, click Cancel Print and then re-send the print job. The
Use black ink only? message appears before the job prints. The empty cartridges will need to be
replaced soon.
(screenshot attached)
So, when I decided to go for this printer, knowing I substantially use black only for my studies and my work, I did take care of reading the entire printer guide and look for these specific official declarations by HP on the printer functionalities.
Additionally, I took care of disabling any HP protection and pages control on the cartridges before installing them, using the printer menu.
Today, instead, I've found out the printer won't print with an exhausted yellow cartridge. This is what the message window says (translated freely, again, from Italian):
[Exhausted cartridge]
HP 951 SETUP Yellow
Replace the cartridges in the list to be able to print.
HP advises not to remove the cartridge until you have a replacement one ready for installation.
Buttons are: [Buy online...] [Cancel printing] [?]
(screenshot attached)
[?] leds to the words I've reported earlier.
I still have the "print just with the black cartridge" option enabled.
I tried cancelling the print and sending the print job again multiple times, as it is described in the guide, but no "Use black ink only?" message appears.
Before invoking and thinking to the "fraud", I ask, how am I going to be able to print, then?

The manual indicates the printer can temporarily use black only once a color cartridge is low. Once the cartridge is depleted it will need to be replaced, otherwise damage to the printed may occur.
HP and other printer manufacturers have different printer technologies for different needs.
Some have printheads built into the ink cartridges. These printers can typically print with one or more of the colors completely empty, or even with color or black (but not both) cartridges removed. The Deskjet 6980 series is an example.
Other printers have separate ink supplies and replaceable printheads. An example would be the Officejet 8600. The printhead in these printers can be replaced if they are damaged by running the printhead with colors out. Some of these printers will allow printing with a color out, other will not. If the printer is run without ink in one or more colors the printer may be damaged, but the user may be able to recover without having to send the printer for service.
Other printers have permanent printheads. To run these without some ink in all the colors would risk causing damage to the printhead due to clogs, air ingested in the printheadvor burned out printhead firing resistors. The Photosmart 3310 series is an example of this type of printer. For printers with fixed printheads this could require service to get the printer to print properly again when the ink is finally replaced.
The document here describes how ink is used. While the document is written for HP Inkjet printers the same principles apply to inkjet printers from other manufacturers.

Problem of canon Lbp 2900 printer with my airport express

I can install canon Lbp 2900 printer connected with my airport express, but when I print, it shows the communication error. but when I directly install the printer to my macbook through USB, everything works fine ,it can print well. Anyone can help?
and I followed the instructions below:
This is what worked for me...
The printer works with Mavericks using the new CAPT v3.65 driver available here: http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0100420705.html and the old Mountain Lion patch which is available here:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7kZEfXZH5ZXOEt0R2NnNVpwdDQ/edit?usp=drive_web&p li=1
Go to System Settings / Printers and Scanners and delete your printer, then restart your computer. Install the new CAPT driver and restart your computer. Install the patch and restart your computer.
Go to System Settings / Printers and Scanners and reinstall your printer selecting Cannon LBP2900 (CAPTuk) driver from the drivers list
You should now have a working printer.
Good Luck

In crowded WiFi situations, everything will slow down. Based on your description.....it is what it is.
I've already controlled the usage of wifi-channels around and I'm using the one with fewest users.
You want to be the only user on a channel. Even then, users on other adjacent channels in close proximity will drag down the bandwidth/speed on the entire network.

Epson and Canon printers not working with 10.7.5

Anyone know if there is a fix for Epson and Canon printers for 10.7.5? Did Apple intentionally switch off printer drivers to force us to upgrade to Mountain Lion? I called Epson technical support and they mentioned it's a well-known issue and they said to "wait for an Apple update". I doubt that will fix the issue. My Canon printer stopped working for months already and there is still no fix.

Canon Pixma MX870 printing with horizontal lines

Recently my printer has begun printing with even horizontal lines across the whole page. I've tried cleaning and deep cleaning, but neither have fixed the problem. Attached is the print nozzle check pattern: http://i.imgur.com/JrLZWgN.jpg . You can see a line between all the letters, and especially on the first rectangle.All ink cartridges are at a decent level as well.
What can I do?

Hi Emilio,
Performing a print head alignment on the printer may eliminate the lines that are appearing on your printouts. To perform a print head alignment, please follow the steps located at the link below:

If the lines still appear after performing the alignments, please call or email us at one of the methods on the Contact Us page for further assistance.

Can't add Canon Pixma MX310 printer with OS X 10.10.2 Yosemite

I just got a new laptop that is running OS X Yosemite. I have my Canon Pixma MX310 printer plugged in via USB but I can't add it. When I go to the Add screen in preferences, in the default window, Canon MX310 series comes up. When I select it, I have to "Choose a Driver" in order for the add button to not be greyed out. Auto select is greyed out so I can only choose Select software which doesn't have anything for Canon or Other which is to select a downloaded driver. Problem is, when I go to the Canon website to download the driver it says "There is no driver for the OS Version you selected. The driver may be included in your OS or you may not need a driver." Any ideas?

HT4623 Canon mg3120 Cain print with the ipad2

Can I use canon mg3120 to print

It's not an AirPrint printer: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
so you will need a computer with software to act as a print server. Printopia and AirPrintActivator are two such programs that run on a Mac.

Print with only black cartridge HP OfficeJet 6700 Premium

Britt4:
I print 95% or more black-and-white pages. Maybe 5% of the time I am interested in color output. Same usage pattern for copying features.
HP seems to promote the fact that with individual color cartridges I "only have to replace the color cartridges that actually get used up".
"Perfect" ... I thought. An all-in-one can sit in a small office and be used mostly for B&W, and every once in a while the color cartridges will be used (they'll last quite a long time that way, so I thought) and the copying needs etc. will also all be covered.
NOW after some time I'm starting to discover that these all-in-one devices evidently consume the HP color ink that I would buy while they are printing black-only output. If I do a bunch of low-cost (so I thought) black output my color inks are evidently disappearing! I thought maybe this is tiny and insignificant but I've found it more expensive.
I am interested in a solution so I can use only black-ink for black output (including business-quality black output) and when needed, a separate option to print in the color ink supply only when I want to print in color.
I DO NOT want to consume color ink to print black only-pages, which are much-more-frequent usage.
**** I need a workaround option to print with empty color cartridges when I am printing black output (thus use / install the color ink only for the periods that I want actual color output)?
Can you PLEASE help! ! !
Thanks!!!

I'm in the same boat with my 6700 that I purchased recently (Dec 2013?). I've been using the setup cartridges for the few, mostly balck and white, pages that I have needed to print. I was printing a couple of tax forms and on the second one it refused to print, saying the cartridge was depleted. Fair enough, but it was rather inconvenient. I purchased a genuine HP black ink cartridge (832) for about $20 and installed it, but now it's reporting that all three color cartridges are depleted and need replacing. I tried removing and replacing them to no avail.
I have ordered a set of remanufactured cartridges from Printronix for about $12 and I hope they work. Otherwise I think I'm just going to sell this POS and get a cheap laser printer or ink jet from any manufacturer OTHER THAN HP. I understand the logic behind using some color ink with the black to keep the head clear and lubricated, but I don't want to spend like $50 for a complete set of cartridges and need to replace them again in six months of minimal usage.
Hewlett-Packard was once the premier line of electronic test equipment and I still have several that were made before the Agilent name change. And I've had several HP computers and have had some problems with them. But now I've become quite annoyed with the (lack of) performance from this HP printer and it looks like I'll be looking elsewhere for my next one(s).

C5180 one empty cartridge

Hi,
I have an C5180 printer and it refuses to print/copy if even one colour cartridge is empty. It makes no difference that the black cartridge is full and I am trying to print a black/white document.
When I am starting the printer I get the following message (in Romanian, I am paraphrasing): "Replace the empty cartridges or press > for info". Pressing OK or > does not help me.
My father has the exact same printer, however he gets a different message and pressing OK works for him.
Could you please give me some sugestions on what to do? I've always bought original HP cartridges, but I would not like to buy new colour ones more often then I print photos (+ they expire before I get the chance to use them).
Best regards,
Daniel

Override the false message:
If your cartridges are not empty, but you continue to receive the 'Ink Cartridge(s) are Empty ' error message, follow these steps to override the message.
Disconnect any cables (Ethernet cable or USB cable) that connect both the printer and the computer.
Restart your computer. (Consider bookmarking this page in your Web browser so that you can easily return to it after the computer restarts.)
With the printer turned on , remove the power cord from the back of the printer.
Wait 30 seconds.
Insert the power cord back into the printer, and turn the printer on.
Clear any error messages.
Reconnect any cables that connect the printer to the computer.
Hope this helps.
I work for HP but my posts and replies are my own.
Have a great day!!!

How Can I Get my HP1115 to Print with One Cartridge?

I have an HP Photosmart 1115.
The color cartridge ran out so I tossed it in hopes of getting a new one. Then I saw the prices. I CANNOT CANNOT CANNOT pay $40 freaking bucks for a cartridge. That is ridiculous. I do not, in any way, shape or form have that kind of money. I just need to print resumes, which require only black ink.
How do I get my stupid printer to work? I'm about ready to fling it out the window and just write things down old school with a pen and notebook paper. I can afford that.
-Signed, Broke and Irritated.
PS. If anyone knows where I can find an HP 78 cartridge for around $20 or less that would work too.

The short answer is that you cannot print on the Photosmart 1115 without both a color and black cartridge installed. You do not need ink in the #78 cartridge, but it does need to pass an electrical check. You may be able to find expired #78 cartridges on eBay or some similar. Old cartridges will still work in the printer, althoug depending on how they were stored they may not print one or more colors, usually cyan or yellow fail first.

With a print app such as printopia, yes. Also check for the canon print app in the app store. This model does not appear to be Air print compatable, however.
