HP Printers and Ink Reserve
Ok, i have the HP Deskjet 5150, and it has an ink reserve feature that lets you print documents even after you run out of black ink so that you don't run out in the middle of a document.
Well how does this work? Does it just lie and tell you that the cartridge is out before it is? Does it take some from the cartridge and keep that as a reserve or does it have a hidden one somewhere that it uses if the main is out?
I'm just wondering because my ink low/out light has been on for a long time and I've just continued to print and it works fine. Should I print until it can't print anymore and replace it, or should I replace it right now?

My epson 2200 will tell me just how much ink is left and how many pages like the last one can be printed.
