Whoa, wait a minute. Re-installing the Epson driver isn't necessary 
with a PC. Simply swap the carts and power cycle the printer. You may 
need to reboot the PC as well but that's all it takes to see the 
proper media options.

I'm not sure how QTR reads the ink cart, but it seems if it doesn't 
read the printer directly it must be looking at some internal setting 
that the Epson driver sets. 

Anyway swaping MK/PK or PK/MK carts on the 2200 doesn't require a 
driver re-install.
