canon bjc 6000 help needed please

[rufus]

I am trying to use my "old" canon bjc 6000 printer after years of
neglect. I've since bought a much better printer, but I need the bjc
6000 in order to use it with an old Win 95 system.

Does this particular printer require that a black cartridge be used?

I need to know becuase there is no ink at all in it of course and I
don't want to buy the black if it isn't required for proper printing.

Thanks

Yes it needs the BC30E head and BCI3e-blk.

Thank you for replying. Ordinarily it wouldn't matter and I'd just go
ahead and get the black along with the "regular" colors (not the photo
colors). It's just that I won't be using the bjc 6000 very often and
I wanted to save the expense of getting the black unless the printing
output would be compromised without it. Which according to your reply,
it would be. I can't find my manual after all these years, and I
suppose I should be happy that it turns on properly.

I appreciate your input.
