I Have Changed My Setting To Print In Grayscale: Black Ink Only I Have Also Chan

I have changed my setting to Print in Grayscale: Black Ink Only I have also changed Print All Text as Black: Enable I have depleted the blue cartridge. The printer will not allow me to print in black only unless I replace the "blue cartridge". I am getting an error message on my printer screen. Do I need to purchase a blue cartridge in order for the default (black only) to work?
