I have a DeskJet 3050 J610 printer scanner I use through a WI-FI network with Windows XP and Windows 8 computers.
Most of the time, I don't want to use colour, so I did not replace the colour cartridge when it was empty the first time.
Now, everytime I want to print a black and white text document, the printer asks me to:
1) re-align the cartridges
2) buy a colour cartridge.
I have aligned the printer alright. My prints are of excellent quality.
I don't want to purchase another colour ink cartridge.
Can anyone please tell me how to eliminate, turn off, get rid of the annoying pop up messages asking me to re-align the cartridges and then to buy a new one?
I have searched the internet for an answer and I haven't found any.
Is it possible to modify the printer driver so that it does not send these messages?
If yes, alignment could be an entirely manual procedure that users would call only when they estiomate they need it.
I hope someone has a solution, otherwise I will have to throw away this printer and buy a different brand, one that gives the user the choice of how to operate the device and then respects the user choices.
