My old HP inkjet would keep working with the black cartridge as long as there was a color cartridge (even an empty one) mounted.
The problem started when that color cartridge went bad. I had to hunt for an old, used, empty color ink cartridge.
Oh, new color cartridges were available, but I didn’t want to cough up a tidy sum for it.
Now I’ve got an Epson inkjet. There are three color cartridges and one black one.
The trouble began when one of the color cartridges became empty. The darned printer stopped functioning.
Maybe I overlooked some setting for bypassing/ignoring the color cartridge.

Holy cow, I've managed to squeak to 300 posts (and just before my b'day)
