I checked the 2100 driver installed on my machine and it was v5.40.  
I downloaded the latest driver from the Epson site and loaded that.  
It displays as v5.50.  It prints in black mode no differently.  If I 
scan prints made with the Epson driver and QTR side-by-side on a flat 
bed scanner, the Epson driver print has a marked magenta cast as 
compared to the QTR print, whereas the Epson print looks slightly 
green when the prints are viewed in daylight.

Ah!  As I recall, it matters which black ink you are using. I happen 
to be using the photo black cartridge at the moment.  I believe the 
colour inks are not used when using black mode and matte black ink, 
as is the case with the original poster.
