Help! Need to print Word doc in black, won't let me as out of coloured ink?!

faithless

Argh, please help!

I have an Epson Sylus C44 UX printer, which I occasionally use. It was very low/out of black ink, so I just changed the cartridge to print an important doc out. Now it's refusing to let me print out my doc as it keeps telling me the coloured ink is empty. I don't have a replacement one of these, as I very rarely print in colour, so I can't just change it.
It's just a Word doc in black ink I want, but I can't override the computer telling me it's out of couloured ink and just make it print in black.
I tried removing the colour cartridge; replacing the empty cartridge,
going into advanced print options and selecting 'Black Ink Only', and going into advanced printer options and selecting Black Ink only as a 'Custom Setting'.

Can anyone please help as I need this doc now and am so frustrated with the *&$£Q$%^& thing I'm soon going to throw it out the "£$^%& window!!!

TIA!

This really bloody annoys me: very common now: will refuse to print in b/w just because the color has run out, and vice-versa :mad:

Hi,

if you need it printed today, copy on to disc, and nip round to a mate, or if you can wait until tomorrow, take it into your local library and get it printed for about 10P.
