How to print black and white only on Konica-Minolta 2400W

I have Konica-Minolta 2400W color printer which run out of all colors.

I replaced black and white cartrige only (too expensive to replace all 4) and changed on Printer Properties panel under Quality Color Setting to B/W.

While it prints in Black & White, the printing is very faint.
It seems it expects other colors to be there and draws out only a portion which would be used if other cartriges were full.

The black cartridge is definitely full (the driver displays the picture of it full and and bitterly complains about other 3 being empty.).

I ried moving "Contrast" and "brightness" slider to 0 and to 100 in any combination - it made absolutely no difference.

Is there are way to force the printer to utilize only the black cartrige to its full extent?

Your help would be grately appreciated.

best regards
Alan

    Unfortunately, none of the above refers to Konica-Minolta printers, so we are not any closer to the problem resolution.

White vertical stripe on color images when they're printed

You may have some dust on the imaging window (printer head). Remove the toner cartridges and clean it with some tissues.

Magicolor 2400w color low. how to allow printing in black without need to replace the color toner? I mean, i only need to print in black only so at the moment i can ignore the color low warning.

its not possible as whast u required.because all the cartridges should be shown full for printing whether you use the colour or dont use.
but you can get your cartridges refilled at any local stationery shop or at the local refilling center.
and this will not cost u as new cartridges.its exactly less then half cost of new cartridges.

thanks.
