Can I use Alternative Colors instead of Black in my HP Laser Jet CM1312nfi MFP Printer?

I have a HP Color Laser Jet CM1312nfi MFP printer. I am running out of Black Cartridge. But I have red and green ones. This Printer has four Cartridges Which are Blac, red, yellow and green I guess. The black Cartridge is fully out of ink. I wanted to use the other extra red Cartridge which I have in my stock instead of this black one. But the Printer doesn't accept it. We are in a remote area, and our supply comes after every 3 weeks. And we have a lot of papers to print. I was wondering if there is any way I can be advised. Thanks in advance.

1. Well, you can use a image processing program to change the colors on the image and then print it. For example, open up an image using Windows Picture Manager (i think that's what it's called). Then go to edit and change colors. You can set up a filter to change the colors and then save the changes. After that just print the modified image and there you go. To save a document as an image, use the snipping tool that is included in most versions of Windows. Make a box around your document (open it first) and then save it to the desktop. Then you can do that trick with Windows Picture Manager or whatever it's called and print it out.
