You have to choose that option when you go to print something. Just leave the color cartridge in there. Now of course, there are some printers that will not even print with a empty cartridge in there, even though the other one still has ink in it.

While doing some searching, I found this that someone quoted from the kpdak site:

The KODAK All-in-One Printer uses an advanced built-in printlhead. The system is designed to provide excellent image and text quality, while eliminating the need to purchase new printheads every time you replace ink cartridges, and saving you money. The printing system requires that both the black and color ink cartridges be installed to print. If either cartridge is not installed or is out of ink, the printer or printhead will not print correctly.

I guess that answers your question.
