Answer 1

Sounds like you have to go out for one anyway, so instead of those  expensive new cartridges, try a refiller system.  I've used them (on black only) for Lexmark & Kodak AIO's, and get about 5-6 refills before it just gets worn out.  Saves a bundle!

Answer 2

You have an epson or a brother I am assuming.

You cannot print, you need to buy ink.

Answer 3

The printer wont work if you are out of any color. This is a safety feature. First, the ink is a lubricant for the heads. If you run the printer with a color missing, that head will be damaged. Second, ink has to keep flowing or it will clot and clog the head. So even if you print all black, a tiny amount of cyan is needed to keep the cyan head from clogging. If you dont use your printer regularly you should still turn it on every few days to keep the ink from clogging.
