I also have a Deskjet, different model though. Even when I pick Greyscale in the Printout Mode under Resolution it still says something like: 300 dpi, greyscale, Black and Color Cart. This leads me to believe that the color catridge is used for greyscale printing or it is just a ripoff by HP to get us to by more ink.
