I have an Epson stylus printer that suspends printing if any one of the four colors (CMYK) are empty. Its a total waste of money and time because i have to go to the store to replace a single color when all i want to do is print b&w.

Can someone recommend a printer that:

Does not suspend printing when cartridges are low or empty
Uses larger cartridges so i don't have to replace them so frequently

Is there ANY way that I… >>> More
