The printer needs ink in all of the tanks to cool the head and prevent
permanent damage, for this reason the printer will not allow printing if it
thinks any of the tanks are empty. There is no way to trick the printer that I
know of and I would not recommend it anyway for the reason above.
You need to fix the ink out problem by replacing the tank that is showing as
empty, if that does not work then there is a problem with the printers ink
sensors since this printer does not use chipped cartridges.
