How do i make my epson stylus photo r300 print in just black? -

obviously i just print text normally and it just prints black. but now i need to perform a head cleaning and it refuses to do it because its out of ink (its been out of colored ink for months). Im having trouble finding where i can program it to just print in black and stop worrying about color so it can perform the maintenance operations. please help?

You could leave the empty colour cartridge in your printer and reset the chip on the back using this utility. http://www.ssclg.com/epsone.shtml The printer will think it has a new cartridge but obviously nothing will come out if it attempts to print any colour.

http://files.support.epson.com/pdf/r300_… you will still have to use all the ink, but you will save money of you set it to text.

Sorry, but there s no way to get the Epson Stylus Photo R300 to print with just the black ink. You need all 6 ink cartridges to contain ink before it will print.
