Thank you very much George.
OK, we have many same type of HP970cxi in several floors of offices here.
I have a new color ink cartridge and many old empty color ink cartridges.
I would like to keep the empty color ink cartridges in the printers and
print in black only. Can I set up the printers? Thank you.
