Have you chosen a paper on the left hand slider side (Epson Enhanced 
Matte, for example) and made sure the "mixture" only uses it and not a 
blank one?

You could just set both sides to the same (Epson Enhanced Matte) and 
leave the mixture at 50%.

It sounds like your problem is somewhere in there about choosing the 
right paper.

You can also print b/w with the same inks you use for color. Just make 
sure you choose the right "printer" (R800 with the right inks, upperish 
right-hand-side)
