We are using Hewlett Packard Deskjet 970cxi printers in our office.
This deskjet requires both color and black ink cartridges with ink in the
printers for it to work.
However, we ONLY use the black ink to print office documents.
We are using the Windows XP and have set the printer property preference to
print in Black only (Advance - Color).
We found the color cartridges still being used and in time its empty and
requires to replace with new ones.

Can you tell me how to either disable the color ink cartridge ink level
sensors or disable to software to use any color ink at all?

We do know HP is getting rich selling us those expensive color ink
cartridges.
Your advise is much appreciated.
