Kodak printer/copier/scanner question?

Question

I have a Kodak 3.2 printer.  It is a cheap piece of garbage, but I fell for the cheaper ink ad.   I only need to print in black and white.  I know how to set the preferences.  Problem,  the color ink cartridge goes empty regardless of use.  It may be just drying up.   Machine will not print in black unless it has a live color cartridge installed.  Is there any way to trick this machine into thinking it has color ink? Any way to fill the color cartridge with something other than ink to make it work?  Ink should not cost more than gold coins!!!   Yes, I already know I can get a black lazer printer that will be cheaper per copy and will not dry out.  I'm looking for a bargain in that direction.

With most printers, you are required to have ink in both the black and color ink cartridges in order to print in black as color ink is needed in this process. They work in conjunction with each other. So you will need to have the both usable color and black ink cartridges with ink, the same thing applies for color. It also is used as a lubricant that also helps to prevent print head damage.
 
In the printer driver, there is an option for "gray scale" printing. That
should use only the black cartridge , but you also will need a usable color cartridge installed for that option as some color ink is also used.

There must be thank you to accomplish cleansing or to align your print heads promptly. probable the clarification that it did pass undesirable grew to become into considering which you have not often used it and doubtless the ink dried up or something.
