Does it do the same thing if you unplug the power cord and printer cable from the printer?

-   "Initializing" will appear on the screen, then the printer will power off - it goes back and forth on it's own. The same response when I unplug everything and connect it back up. There is one green light that flashes in conjunction with the "Initializing" message.

My Canon PIXIMA MP150 consumes color ink even though the ''Ink Cartridge'' setting is ''Black Only'' and ''Grayscale Printing'' is on. Why is this happening? It seems to me that if Ink Cartridge is set to Black Only, then color ink should never be used - even if the black runs out. However, in this case that the black ink cartridge is 3/4 full.
