broken magenta channel

I have Epson r270 and use Gutenprint plugin for GIMP for printing my home photos. But some time ago, my magenta channel  broke down. To solve this problem, I think I need to exchange light magenta by magenta channel, what can I do to solve this problem? What are the other ways of solving it apart from cleaning magenta channel physically? Can I print only CcMYK, where magenta is situated physically on the place of light magenta.
PS: I ported Gutenprint plugin for GIMP for Windows platform and get good results, thanks for nice work.

If your *dark* magenta head is dead, there's not much you can do --
the light magenta ink simply won't be dark enough.  If the *light*
magenta is dead, you will be able to edit the appropriate XML file in
the next release (5.2.0-beta4) to remove that light magenta channel,
and just print with dark magenta.

I got it. But I want to remove light magenta cartridge and put dark magenta cartridge instead.
