Reader Nicholas notes that Canon’s laser printers do let you scan without a toner cartridge as well. The image may not look great with a color missing, but it lets the user do it. Not only will it run its functions normally even when out of ink, it will print even if one or more color cartridges is empty. Seeing the intentional design faults of all-in-one printers from Epson, Canon, and HP, I’m all the more pleased to have the all-in-one Brother MFC-6890. Reader Rey has a Brother printer that doesn’t have this intentional design flaw. Once a cartridge is empty- black OR color, doesn’t matter- the printer will no longer work until that cartridge is replaced.Īll is not lost if you do want an all-in-one, though. Kestris notes that her Kodak all-in-one does the same darn thing. Makes absolutely no sense to me but that’s the score. Currently the yellow is out and it won’t let me print grayscale or “black and white” only prints because there is no yellow ink. I have an all-in-one with tri-color and black ink. They aren’t the only companies to pull this trick, but some tipsters have let us know that there are ways around the flaw.īrandy tells us that her Brother printer also requires yellow ink to print black and white.īrother printers are no better than Epson or Canon. This week, we’ve heard from owners of Epson, Canon, and HP all-in-ones who complain that the devices are a useless lump of plastic without a print cartridge. That doesn’t stop manufacturers from making our gadgets unable to perform other functions when they’re out of printer ink, an intentional flaw that is wasteful and frustrating.
