@Num10ck Put a black cartridge where the color cartridge should be?
70% of the time, they're different sizes. And if they aren't, then the little chip on them let's the printer know it isn't the correct cartridge.
If only it were so simple...
If someone ever made dummy cartridges they would sell nicely, I suspect.
HP has locked down their cartridges so much that even third party hack ones require extracting the chip from a genuine cartridge.
See, now THIS is rentrophy.
