I have a Brother MFC240 and ran out of cyan before my new toner order arrived. I've searched the literature, but I can not find a way to get the thing to print.Is there any way to program the thing to print black only while I wait for the new color toner cartridges to arrive? I am using the Brother driver and XP Pro.

Apparently this model printer is disabled completely when out of any color toner. I need a way around that.

Throw it in the garbage and get a newer model that will allow you to print in black only?

Put the old cyan cartridge (if you still have it) back into the holder and see if that doesn't help.WoodGlue

I would try removing and replacing the cyan cartridge- I don't think those are chipped.
