Thanks. I've used Chrome's Tab To Front for the chore without any problems. Now I use Vivaldi (and like it a lot!), and its mouse gestures do the trick nicely without any extensions. But I haven't figured out a way to do so in Edge, and can't believe they haven't added the functionality yet. But they DO let you click a link in Bing (which I have no use for), and open it in a new tab automatically to the front, so they have unwittingly acknowledged that it is a useful feature. 
I would play with it some more, because Edge feels significantly faster than anything else I've tried, from the little I've played with it, but I can't get over the lack of this feature - let's see how many more phrases I can add to this sentence, before it becomes a mind-killer: will this one tip the scale? 
Sudden Sun Death Syndrome (SSDS) is a very real concern which we should be raising awareness of. 156 billion suns die every year before they're just 1 billion years old.

THE QUESTON : What is a good color that looks dark enough to pass for black but will not use the black ink jet cartridge ?
CURRENT ANSWER
My best guess: RED: 000, GREEN 000, BLUE 128
This guess comes from trying a few different combos, just taking pot shots, not really knowing good from bad.
If anyone has a better idea, I will read it.
DEFECT PROCESS
Changed the ink jet cartridges.
Magenta, Cyan, and Yellow appear to print properly.
Black will not.
Changed the black cartridge again.
Still won't print.
This is the second printer of this model (They happily replaced the first one). Their business model just might be: [1] Sell printer at very low profit margin, [2] Sell ink cartridges at very high profit margins.
Anyway, it's out of warranty, and I'm just not willing to try another black ink cartridge.

One printer I had a few years ago would lay down lots of C, Y and M if it ran out of black.
You could try a very dark grey (say 0x101010) to try and induce similar behaviour.

That is exactly the business model for every printer manufacturer nowadays.
Whenever I buy a printer now, I look for a short list of several printers that I like, then I check the next aisle over to see what the printer supplies cost for each. The cheapest printer to buy is not always the cheapest to own.
Kinda like the original Mac/PC TCO model I spoze...
I'm retired. There's a nap for that...

I do the same. What's the sense of buying a printer if you can't find carts for it? :/

My family has a color laser printer now due to this issue with our old HP inkjet.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.

Try Fleabay and buy cheap Chinese imitations of the cartridge. I got five complete sets of cartridges plus two extra black cartridges for about 20 bucks. The driver will cry about those 'fake' cartridges to buy original cartridges every time you print something. Ignore it. Cheap ink may eventually damage your printer, But the money I saved on those five refills would already be enough to buy a new one.

I have an old Epson DX3800 (very good copy/scan/print device) which offers an option when low on black, and manages to use a CYM combination that is close enough for most purposes. I buy inks from printerinks.com, which are reasonably priced. Unfortunately there are other reasons why the printer may soon need replacing.

I refill the black cartridge - used a starter cartridge for 3 year, once (HP).
Now Brother has essentially Ink Tanks that have no print head (vs., HP, where each cartridge has its own print head). Cheaper refills - easier refilling if you go that way - but beware! If the brother print head goes bad you're elephanted big time. Just throw printer away.
So it was replaced with an HP - which, since I refill the black, myself (do not let it go dry!), my Mrs. can use as a copy machine if she needs to. Cost about US$ 1.00 to refill.

Um, why don't you just buy a new black ink cartridge?

OP says they've already tried two new black cartridges, not working...

Then buy a f***ing new printer. The solution isn't rocket science.

We have a really good quality assurance guy who I'd like to get a gift for. Not necessarily a gag gift although that would be good. Something QA related perhaps. I have looked on ThinkGeek.com but didn't see anything I liked.
Curious if anyone has seen any good gifts for QA people.

True. I guess I should have been more specific. I'd like it to be something he could keep on his desk at work. Cash does not fit that.

I recommend a gift certificate. That way the recipient can buy something he/she prefers. And maybe keep it on their desk.

Thanks. Ya, they are. I was trying to find something QA themed or related but this is a good idea. Thanks.
