We had a color printer. I did use the color to
download some things from online, and then I stopped
and just used the black ink, when we found out how
expensive it was to replace the ink. When the black
ink ran out, we found we couldn't replace just the
black but had to get both cartridges--expensive. We
stopped using that printer altogether, since black is
good enough for us, as what we do mainly is print
text.
Nancy, I went online and found a monochrome (which I
assume means black) laser printer for $249 reviewed on
PC Magazine at this URL:

It looks big, though. I don't know if it would fit on
your desk. Pentax has some for $350 (rounded off).
Amazon seems to sell them, too. To paraphrase and old
commercial--you're probably too young to remember--let
your fingers do the walking...in this case, let google
to the searching. smile

Hello Nancy:
You can leave the color cartridges in an inkjet
printer and not worry about them. In fact, I suggest
not removing a color cartridge as the printer was
designed to work with it installed. In fact, if a
color capable printer doesn't have a color cartridge
installed, it may not work. You should be able to
set print preferences to only print black and white.
Regards,
Robert

Good Day Book Sharians,
For several days I have been searching for
something I thought would be pretty easy to
find...boy was I wrong.
I have a small computer desk and I am looking for
a simple,small footprint black and white inkjet
printer that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. All I
am planning to use it for is to print out my
correspondence. I have no need for colors. Don't
they make B/W printers anymore?
Everything seems so involved in printing photos.
If I have to get a color printer, would it run all
right if I took the color cartridges out and just
used the black ink?
I would appreciate suggestions.
Thanks,
Nancy
