Ok, curiosity got the better of me and I just installed the 2200 driver
again and loaded up a cartridge of MIS PK in my 2100. It works
perfectly. The Photo Black ink is very warm, similar to printing with a
warm curve with the Ultratones, but the prints are quite beautiful. It
was nice to see a glossy print coming out of my printer again, after
printing on matte papers for such a long time.

The 2200 driver won't autodetect the 2100, but just press cancel in the
resulting error dialog and the installation will complete. Afterwards
you have to enter printer properties and manually select the port you
want to use for the printer.

I also tried the Australian driver, but it has the same problem as the
UK one. The version I found was 5.3cE though, not 1.6cE. I think you're
referring to the Mac driver, while I'm using Windows XP, so they have
different version numbers.
