Printer Question?

[seabass069]

I have the Canon Pixma MP780. The printer works awesome. My question: "if I only print in greyscale, then why does my color ink eventually run out"? I only want to print in black. I do not want to print in color because the ink is expensive. Is there a way to only print in black without the color ink running out?

I know nothing about nothing but when I had a colour printer, I had two cartridges. I had one that was purely black ink and one that was colour ink. I barely ever printed in colour so I left the black cartridge in most of the time and replaced it with the colour cartridge when needed. Your printer may have separate cartridges for individual colours though...

Although not your printer, this should answer your question.
