Yes, actually, there is a way to tell if you have a color ribbon in your
IW2.  The printer knows; see the microswitch in the middle of the ribbon
holder?  That tells the printer you have a color ribbon.  And the
printer reports this to the computer as a part of its status code, which
I believe is returned by issuing ESC-? to the printer.
