Thanks for the info ... if I get out bid on ebay, that will solve the
problem and I will give the 2200 a shot.

  Hi Joe, just a thought. There is a way of getting an excellent b&w
  print from the 2200 using Clayton Jones' black only printing
  method.The technique still allows you to keep your colour inks in
  place and just replace the Epson black with MIS Eboni. This means you
  can still continue to print colour on the one printer.
  Have a look here

  I have a sample print he sent me and it is very close to what I can
  get on my 1290 with UT2. Similar, but different and yet uniquely
  beautiful.

  It may be worth a try before spending the bucks on a new system.
  Regards,
  Paul.
