can a color inkjet printer print a black&white document when other colors (cyan/magenta/yellow) ink finished?

I’m using Epson CX5500 printer, and my cyan ink is finished, yellow&magenta are low, and I just replaced my black ink. I wanted to prink a black&white only text document, I’ve already chosen "black ink only" on the printer properties, however when I wanted to print the document, it asked me to replace cyan cartridge.

Does all color printers with separate ink cartridge need all inks available, even to print a black and white documents? Or is there a way to print only with black ink?

Please help. Thanks

My printer does the exact same dam thing!

mines a HP though, seems like you cant print in black only even if selected.

but it might be a glitch, because when i updated my drivers and software (check for yours on the epson site) i think it didnt ask and printed in black only, but not too sure about it because i replaced it a while ago.
