Lexmark C540n

Hi

We have a Lexmark C540n printer, and say for instance when the magenta toner is finished the printer wont print. Even if i want to print black and white only and not even use the other colours.

Does anyone know of a work around or fix for this issue please

I don't know the C540N, but there are *no* lasers that will let you print colour when even 1 cartridge is empty. There some that will still let you print black when a colour cartridge is empty, but they are rare. Usually they require you to select Mono printing in the driver, to ensure that only black will be used. I read somewhere that the C540N driver does not let you do that. Just printing a black text document may not do the trick.

The main reason is that, even if you are printing mono, the colour toners may be used as well to give more shades of grey. And, of course, black is used to print very many colours.
