You need to use QTR to print black only on a 1400.

(By the way, I print "black only" with HP PK in the Cyan position.  The inkset is set up to print a mostly Eboni-6 inkset, but with MIS LK in the LC spot and HP PK in the C spot -- a bit of a split tone there.)

QTR is an easy printer utility to use.  I use a Photoshop curve to convert my Gray Gamma 2.2 files to the linear space QTR uses, but there are other ways.  Black only printing is actually the easiest way to get into QTR profiling, which is well worth the effort to learn.
