printer prints in color only

I'd replace the black and white cartridge or run a print head cleaning (this varies by mfgr, but Epson offers it both from the printer and through the driver). If neither works, try reinstalling the driver.

As far as I know there is no such thing as a black AND white inkjet cartridge. There are colour cartridges and black cartridges. There are some low-end inkjet printers that only use a colour cartridge and when they print black they use a combination of 3 colours, so that when you print straight black text you are actually using the most ink! Also if one colour runs out before the rest you will have coloured text instead of black. Depending on your inkjet printer, you may have to buy a new black cartridge, or if you have one of the printers that only has one cartridge you will have to buy a new one. As an additional note, when buying inkjet printers, choose a model that has separate black and colour cartridges because the cost per pagewill be lower.

No answer,just a proposelNext time you ask a question can you be a little more spcific.
It's common use that the mayority off "problemhavers" give to few info to give the "problemsolvers" a good base to decide on.
Hope anybody read this (put it onthe Q&A startpage)

I had a lexmark Z23 that did the same thing. I installed the cart and it did not use it. All I did was go into the utility program and look to see if it saw the black cart, it did. After I exited the utility, it printed fine. I guess you get what you pay for, 49.00 doesn't buy a lot of printer.
