Lex c540: keep printing BW w/out new color cart? by stoid (11/16/09 8:55 AM) reply + / -
I have a lexmark c540 that ran out of magenta but has a brand new black. All I'm printing is black, its all I was printing when the printer decided the magenta wasn't just low, it was gone.

Well, I ordered magenta online, I can't afford to buy it again, and I need to keep printing! But I can't find a way to override the "change magenta" message! Help!

Unfortunately, even if you are not using the colour toner, the machine will automatically calibrate and use the colour toner's to keep the image aligned.

Bad news, there is no way to get past this message without putting a toner in.
