I recently got a used Epson Stylus CX5400 fo free.
Today I bought a black ink cartridge for it and tried to print something.

Now the damn thing won`t let me print unless I insert the color cartidges, too!
But I just want to print text! Black on white! I don`t want to spend another 50€
on color cartridges I don`t really need...

So, does anyone know a workaround for this problem?
 
you have to have a colour cart to print sadly

you can always get a crappy recycledd one for cheap, since it doesnt matter how crappy the ink is if you dont use it
 
Epsons are shite. But you do have to by both ink cartridges, but you could prolly get a cheapo one for E6
 
Thanks.

They really know how to make money, don`t they?

I hoped there is a way of maybe shortcutting the connectors to the carts or a hacked driver or manipulating registry or something. Stupid Epson. I think I`m gonna sell this thing on Ebay...
