How can I force a color printer to print in black and white, when only the color cartridges are allegedly...

My grandparents' HP Officejet 8710 alleges that only the Cyan and Yellow cartridges are empty. The blue and black aren't.
My grandparents know that monochrome printing can require color cartridges too, but still fancy compelling the printer to print, regardless of the resulting print quality. They`d loathe to buy a monochrome printer or ink cartridges.

@DavidPostill I read that post before mine was flagged. It propounds buying new ink cartridges or a new monochrome printer. Did I overlook anything?

@Greek-Area51Proposal - If you have a printer that uses color ink even when using grayscale, then the solution is indeed, replacing your empty ink cartridges. This is the cost of inkjet printers, you gain print speed, at the cost of being able to print. (Being a little sarcastic in that statement, I hate inkjet printers, but they are cheaper then the alternative). I have had great success in using generic (used) ink cartridges provided your willing to ignore the printer complaints about the non-genuine ink.
