Can you still print in black and white if you run out of color ink?

This is not a good solution but I was under a deadline and had to get documents printed. I would suggest investing in a Brother b&w laser and keeping this one for color, faxing and scanning. Here is how you can get it to print b&w with empty color cartridges: Take the empty color cartridge out. You will notice that it is spring-loaded and if you push the side that is towards the printer, there is a little window that shows the ink level. While pushed in, tape the ink tank window with black electric tape. Be careful and make sure the tape covers only the ink tank window. Insert the cartridge back and the printer will show that color cartridge as full. Make sure to do this with all the color cartridges when they get empty and print in black and white ONLY. Printing color may damage the printer if you do this!! B&W only!

does it come with ink cartridges ?

Yes, but cartridges are only starter cartridges. The supplied cartridges are only 40-60% capacity of purchased separately cartridges, maybe. Much like all new printers with supplied ink cartridges.

am not set up for wireless will.brother mfc j450dw printer work

Yes, you just have to connect it diretly to your computer using the included cable. Hope this helps..BTW, I've gone through 3 printers in 3 years, all with some problems. This Brother far exceedes every one of them, and works flawlessly. No problems whatsoever.

I'm leaning toward buying Brother because ink costs are said to be less expensive than other manufactures. Any one know if this is true?

That depends. If you run out of any color you can't print in black. You have to use Brother ink cartridges or it won't work. I'm very sorry I bought this.
