QTR-Quadtone RIP

I think this is true only on the Mac. On my PC I have never had to  
re-install the Epson driver when changing black inks. It usually  
recognizes the ink change, sometimes I have to do a status check or exit  
the printing function and re-enter it, but it never requires deleting and  
re-installing the driver.
