Possible to override ink settings on a TS6020? Using a gray ink cartridge in the black ink slot.

[rawbonz]

I bought a gray cartridge by mistake and can't return it. It is a genuine Canon, same number (271) that I use for the other cartridges and fits fine in my TS6020. However the printer will not recognize it as an acceptable cartridge. I don't care about the ink color for 70% of my printing. Is there some way to override (e.g. in settings) so that it will take my gray cartridge in the black slot.  Hate to waste the $20 I spent on it.

Greetings,

This is not possible.  Only the correct inks can be used in their intended slot.  They are not swappable and cannot be used interchangeably.

OK, thanks for the quick reply
