When you print, set it to grayscale or black and white filter. I have done this and it works when the color is out of ink

Most printer require all cartridge to be present and recognised before they will operate- even though you only wish to print -say- text in black. When printing in most machines all colours print even if it is only text you want. Except some machine can have a black only mode This will be found in the properties menu, if your machine has the facility

How do I get my epson artisan 730 printer to recognize a print cartridge?

Epson printers will not accept another cartridge fitted in a particular slot, that's why it says 'cannot recognise cartridge'. Each colour has a colour specific chip fitted - to stop people accidentally fitting a colour in a wrong slot. What your printer is telling you is absolutely normal...

Colour ink cartridge not recognized

You can bypass sometimes when the cartridge is just empty, but there's no bypass if not recognized. You can try using an eraser to wipe the contacts on the cartridge and inside the cartridge holder, but if that doesn't work you will need the new cartridge.

Lexmark Pro 705 won't let me print after refilled

If you refill the regular lexmark 100 ink cartridges, you will not be able to use it because there is a rfid chip that track the ink usage. you will need to buy the 100a type which will let you print if the ink level is empty. since you have refill the 100 ink cartridge, you can swap the 100a chip to your 100 cartridge.

I loaded the black ink like I have done so many times before, but a window is coming up saying it does not recognize my color catridge and will not print. I dont even have a color cartridge in the printer.

Some printers will not print while missing either of the cartridges, was the printer working without the colour cartridge before?
Try inserting a colour cartridge and see if that helps.

Not print and not scann without colour cartridge

All cartridges must be present before the printer will operate. Essentially black is obtained by printing all colours together. Some makes/models of printer will allow black printing only for text printing. This is a printer 'PROPERTIES' function and you will have to seek this out by reading the manual fully.
