| 190957 | 2003-11-11 09:25:00 | I have just replaced the black ink cartridge on my Epson Stylus C41UX Printer and it will not print without colour as well. I ran out of colour along time ago and the black worked fine on its own until it ran out. Is there a way of tricking the printer into thinking there is colour left in the empty colour cartridge? |

| 190959 | 2003-11-11 09:41:00 | The ink for my printer is pretty cheap anyway, the colour cartridge is $44 so I dont think thats bad its just that I cant afford it before christmas and was hoping I could just use my new black one till then. | starfish (3019) | ||

| 190961 | 2003-11-11 10:16:00 | Take the colour cartridge out and give it a shake and then put it back in. This will trick the level indicator in the cartridge to think it is full agin and you will be able to continue printing with the black cartridge. |

| 190964 | 2003-11-11 20:32:00 | Ok I have taken out the colour cartridge and given it a good shake and guess what - it didn't work it still says the colour needs to be replaced, any other suggestions? | starfish (3019) | ||
| 190965 | 2003-11-11 20:34:00 | take out the colour cartrige and then try to print stuff in black. | ilikelinux (1418) | ||
| 190966 | 2003-11-11 20:40:00 | I took out the colour cartridge and tried again and it said the ink cartridge is not installed properly!!! This is fustrating. |
