Your printer won't work with the color cartridge removed. You can try the workaround at http://www.ehow.com/how_5748378_print-only-one-ink-cartridge.html. Or try these instructions. Good luck!

hi there! I believe i can help u with your ptinting problem. Canon printers have 2 separate cartridges. Black & color. You must have both cartridges in your printer in order for it to run correctly. Your printer won't print anything on paper unless they're both installed & , of course,they have ink in them. I hope this fixes your problem.
