I have an Epson all-in-one, which works great except that if even one

I had that same problem with an HP6100. It told me it was out of black ink
and when I put a new cartridge in, it did an alignment page. It printed out
some black lines and then failed.

It never told me that it was out of color ink too. I was about to throw it
away when I found an unopened set of catridges and replaced the color one
just because I had it. It did the alignment and now it is working.

I really did not care very much about the printing, I wanted to use it
as a black and white fax machine. Without two working cartridges (black
and color), it won't funtion at all. :-(
