My friend gave me an EPSON R210 printer. I only want to print in black, but the printer will only operate if all six colour cartridges are full. I don't want to purchase that many! Even when I set the settings to greyscale and turn off the colour requirements on the computer, the ink warning pops up informing me I cannot proceed because all of the cartridges are not full. This is really annoying.
Any thoughts?

you have to change the cartridge. Even in greyscale printing epson is using all your cartridges to create the different tones of black..
There is no way around it the chip on the back acts as an on/off switch, when the cartridge is "empty" the printer is in the off position until a cartridge with a chip in the on position is put in.
All Major printer companies are doing this now.

Try Epson® salts. Good luck.
