HP Deskjet printers

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

Hi, I was told today that the printer is now working with a different black
cartridge, but he also told me that he does not print in colour. I guess
that means that he does not use a colour cartridge when he prints, and I'm
pretty sure that my deskjet did not print black text properly when the
colour cartridge was empty. so could there be something different with the
cartridge he is now using which allows it to work, or the settings for his
printer?

thank you
Scott
