Digital BW, The Print

I _believe_ the printer will not print if one of the carts is empty. Worse,
when powering on, or printing after a break the mini-cleaning cycle is run
which wastes ink. So, even if you only ever wanted to print black-only on
Epson printers... your colour ink would keep running out aswell :(
