TweetI have an epson RX500 copier/scanner/fax and it has these individual color cartriges. If one is out, it disables the whole unit? I rarely use color to print. My old HP unit didn't have this problem? Any advice?

TweetDo you have the color disabled?

TweetThe whole unit is disabled because of the yellow colr catrige being out?

TweetMy old HP unit would still let you scan, copy... this one is a problem.

Tweetyou can't say "stick it back in", I get excited :-)
I tried that and it didn't work

Tweetit needs all the cartridges in it is part of it check when the printers boots up or when it warms up, in printing properties you should be able to set your printing to print in only Grey scale (black and white)

TweetMy Brother printer,copier,fax has a similar problem. It will do everything but fax if a color is even almost empty. And what's even worse is it uses all the colors when only printing in black somehow. It's low on Cyan now, so it won't fax, but it will still print fine. Seems like a stupid way to function.
