Steve,

delete all 2100 printers you generated. Maybe relog or reboot.

Put PK cart in the printer, switch it on and generate new 2100 
printer named something as "2100 PK". Change cart to MK, and generate 
another 2100 printer named "2100 MK". It should work now.

The reason is the native X printer driver is not able to communicate 
with printer and recognize if there is PK or MK. But in a moment the 
job runs into printer, the printer itself recognizes that there is 
wrong ink and stops the printing.
