I want to print a Word document using only black.
Actual status of printer:
- The color ink is low. The black ink is 50% (indicated by the picture).
- I selected from the drop down list to use Only Black.
- I selected Grayscale printing.
When I press print, I get the message Color ink is low => Cancel priniting. (The error code is E6)
I tryed without the color cartridge and not possible (E5)
Can you please tell me what other setting is needed?

- Thank you.
But I don't know what other setting to do besides:
- checking the Grayscale printing in Main tab
- Media Type = plain paper
- page size A4 in Page setup tab
- Bordless Printing = unchecked
- Ink cartridge settings = Black Only in Maintainance tab.
What does true black and white mean?
Kind regards

- I got the solution :)
After sending the print command you have to keep the reset button pressed for 5s, then the reinitializations of the cartridges is done.
From now on, only black is used.

I have encountered a problem with my new (3 month old) canon printer (2 cartridges: 1 black, 1 white).
I have had my cartridges refilled at a location that specializes in such practices, and it worked for a week (I pritnted less than 10 pages, draft)... however a couple of days ago it started prompting me with the following message each time I initiate a printing routine: ''The following ink cartridge cannot be recognized: Color'' (good ol' eroor E,1,5 on the display).
I took out and repositioned both cardridges (both at one time, in parallel,aso.), with or without reset, I reinstalled the drivers... and everythhing with no success.
I understand that this might mean buying a new genuine Canon color cartridge, but firstly I would like to ask you if any of you guys managed to get the printer working oinly on the black cartridge, because I really do not need the color one, but only the black cartridge. I have tried modifying the ink cartridge settrings form printer preferences in ctrl panel with no luck, the same error message arises. Does it really not work unless both cartridges are functional?!
thanks,
