Guy,
This is the first time I've had a color inkjet printer that can print in black and white even when the black cartridge is empty. In fact, I was positive it wouldn't work. That's why I was astonished when pressing the button resulted in a label and printed a second copy of it just to make sure it wasn't my imagination.
Admittedly, the printer might have been trying to get the last few drops out of the black cartridge instead of creating a composite black out of the color inks. Again, I don't know. I couldn't do more testing since my employees needed the printer operating at full capacity. Still, though, I thought it was pretty cool.
