Abstract
A color capable electrophotographic printer remains operable for monochrome printing when one or more toner cartridges are unavailable for use. Instead of reverting to an error state when a toner cartridge is missing or unavailable, the laser printer remains operable to print monochrome images or single "spot color" images using a single color and monochrome toner.
