Required To Buy All Ink Colors In Order To Just Print Black?
I replaced the large black canon ink and yet I cannot print black as a light keeps coming on telling me to replace the blue ink. I paid 17.99 for the black ink. I do not want to pay 58.00 for all the colors. I don't use the colors. Please help. thanks.
