Epson AL-C900 with empty color toner

The Epson AL-C900 Aculaser has a default setting that makes it impossible to continue printing if one of the color toners/consumables is empty. Even in black and white.

This can be fixed as follows:

• Connect the printer directly, i.e. via USB to the PC or laptop and turn the printer on
• Install "Status Monitor 3 1.1b" from the Epson website:
  http://esupport.epson-europe.com/FileDetails.aspx?lng=en-GB&id=31761
  The name of the downloaded file is: epson31761eu.exe
  Note:  there is no separate Windows 7 x64 version, so use the Windows Vista x64 version for that platform
• Right-click the "Status monitor 3" icon in the tray and:
• Epson AL-C900 -> Printer Setting...
• Check "Continue printing when consumables are empy"
