    No kidding!!!  I just made a wild guess... hey, that's pretty nifty!  I
thought it was a bug at first (maybe to keep us on the hook for 4.1) since I
didn't think you could tell what kind of ribbon was in the printer from
software.  With that cleared up, I'm going to stick in a blue-ink ribbon and
see if the menu changes to from "Black and White" to "Blue and White"... ;-)
