Some day soon I will be doing that to my Epson printer.
You are low on ink.
That’s ok, I only want to print in black.
Can’t do that, you need some cyan and yellow.
And since you don’t print something every 20 minutes you will need to do a complete nozzle cleaning procedure.
Snort!
Ahh, the pain of printers. Those of us who dealt with them in the early days...circa 1992...
ME: Uhhhh...I cannot get my printer to print...it chops off half the page, and starts on the next page...
HP SUPPORT: Okay. Sounds like a printer driver issue. We can send you a new driver. The floppy should arrive in about two weeks.
ME: Uh...okay.
(a month later)
ME: Its here! I’ll be able to print with my new printer now!
(Printer spits out half a page of truncated text all smashed together)
PHONE CALL TO HP: The support time is now four hours and 23 minutes. Please wait on the line...
I have an Epson printer too, I know of what you speak.
Try to find a good used HP 8600 series printer or another one that uses these cheap massive black carts: https://www.ebay.com/itm/4PK-950-XL-951XL-Ink-Cartridges-for-HP-Officejet-Pro-8100-8600-8610/391328446143?hash=item5b1cfe36bf:g:ELwAAOSw2A9ei6pS
