I may be wrong, but I don't think QTR supports the printer.

If the Epson driver allows "black only" printing then that would be possible, but on most papers it prints with a rather green tone.

If there are carts available that you can fill yourself, then I've tested an inkset that you can adapt to the printer.  

See http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/N-BW-VT-1-220.pdf

I think this will run in most if not all Claria printers and many if not most Epson printers.  You'd have to mix and profile it, however.

Hope this helps.
