Re: “I also seem to remember a time when the printer had run out of black and asked if it was OK to combine colors to make black. Might have been a Macintosh.”There's nothing wrong with your memory. Black ink the printer makes on-the-fly from color is called 'Composite black' (or 'Composite Black', for my many WOKE friends.) Long ago, inkjet printers didn't have black ink. These days, at least 90% of them do.

I think laserjets always came with black.

Ribit > ...because I don't have any Magenta ink.


I remember running into something like that before . . . And I believe the problem was because for some reason the 'document' decided the color was not black, but some combination of colors. (I also seem to remember a time when the printer had run out of black and asked if it was OK to combine colors to make black. Might have been a Macintosh.)

For some strange reason, I'm thinking that there was a 'printer setting' to print in black and white rather than color. But I can't find it.

Maybe that was a Macintosh or a Linux thing . . .
