Yes, you can refill the lexmark black toner cartridge in your printer.
There are two ink cartridges; one for black and one for color. The black ink cartridge will be used for mono color printing (documents) and the color cartridge working in parallel with the black cartridge will produce color images. The black ink cartridge is required when printing colors, so the only time you could use on, would be the black one for black and white images on paper.
Printers can work without any cartridges in them. However, to print anything, at least one colour or one black cartridge must be installed.
74 is just black ink, 99 is a photo cartridge containing light black, light magenta and light cyan.Your printer will print a great photo even without the photo cartridge, I would just stick with the black.

This will vary from printer to printer. For more detailed instructions we would need to know which printer you use. Most colour printers have a black cartridge and a number of colour cartridge. In this case you should go into the printer properties and set it for black and white printing or grey scale printing. Some colour printers have an interchangeable cartridge. You would need to remove the colour cartridge and replace it with a compatible black cartridge.
It depends of if the printer is black only, both black and color, or an all-in-one printer. If its black only then: No If its black and color then: Yes If its all-in-one then: Yes
Yes, you could, provided you are not using the color cartridges. I assume you are filling the color cartridges with black ink to fool the printer you have refilled the colors
