Default !!! How to use a "not-really-empty" epson DX4450 cartridge?

I've got this .. urgent problem!
I need to print and have got a black cartridge that the printer (epson
DX4450, windows vista) thinks is empty.
I haven't used it a lot and indeed it isn't empty at all!!

How can I use it, regardlessly??!

I've tried SSC Service Utility but it doesn't recognizes DX4400 series!!


Thanks in advance,
gionnico.

Printing using grey from RGB or also eg. just in BLUE would be OK.
But I can't print anything if the black is empty OR is not present !!

There is no miracle answer to getting the cartridge to utilize its ink The
chip on it is registering empty even if the cartridge were actually full. If
you had a chip resetter like the one listed below you could reset the chip
and utilize any ink the cartridge has ( as long as you don't have a head
clog and the cartridge does indeed have ink) but other than replacing the
cartridge or chip for a new one there is nothing to be done to change the
firmware on the machine; unless of course you know a way to re-program the
printer and software.
