With very few exceptions, modernprinters need a full set of cartridges to even try and print.
the reasons for this are not quite an sinister as you may think. Many printers use a little colour and them finally apply black to create a very deep shade of black. printers also periodically do small cleans, checks and calibrations to keep the printer running as efficiently as possible. In order for many of these to be performed they need a cartridge of each colour to avoid damage etc.
