Is there a work around for black only printing, when one of the color cartridges is out of ink? My cyan cartridge is out of ink, but I'd like to print in black, and the printer won't let me. Thanks, Jim

Replace Ink Cartridges
Your Epson Stylus CX8400 Series and its software will let you know when an ink cartridge is low or expended.
If an ink cartridge is low or expended, you see a message on the Epson Stylus CX8400 Series LCD display screen. If a cartridge is expended, you must replace it to be able to print. If a cartridge is low, you can continue printing until a cartridge needs replacement.
Note:
You cannot print or copy when an ink cartridge is expended even if the other cartridges are not expended. Replace any expended cartridges before printing or copying.

There does not seem to be a work around.

That's what I was afraid of, and thanks for the reply. Cheers, Jim
