Here is where to start trying to get it working.

does it HAVE to have colour cartridge to work as b&w?
If it has a colour cartridge and a black cartridge, probably only need the black for B&W.
But need to check the printer manual for info on this.
May need the colour cartridge installed, even if empty.
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.
When I was a kid I wanted to be older.... This is not what I expected :shock:
YaPI(any iso installer)
