Problem for Epson Stylus Photo 1280 InkJet Printer
Printing in black & white when color cartridge ran out
Hi. I have an Epson Stylus CX6600 and my magenta ink just ran out. I bought a magenta ink cartridge a while back and can't seem to find it, but in the mean time I would just like to print in black and white. For some reason, it doesn't want to let me do that. Is there any way for me to bypass the message that says "Magenta ink out" and just keep printing in Black and White?
black ink cartridge empty but don't have another, put in new color cartridge, but will not print black words, only color graphics

One of the possible reason why you can't print black in white because Epson ink jet printers require all of the ink cartridges to have ink in them in order to print any color, black and white, or grayscale images. More than that Epson printers contain a permanent print head that needs to be charged with all colors to work. Even when users are printing black text only, a small amount of color ink is used to keep the print head charged for color printing and prevent air bubbles from entering the color print nozzles which can damage the print head.

Yes, I had the same experience... very aggravating...
Makes sense that it is a technical problem of the printer, and printer head, but can't help thinking it's a corporate move for profit reasons.
Solution: boycott Epson... they are profiteering b**ta**s
