Digital BW, The Print

Try printing under better (1440) instead of best (2880).  I believe Martin
stated some time ago that there was not a visual difference in quad print
performance and it was a hell of a lot faster. I know that my 1270 is much
faster than my 1160 running the Epson drivers...so my guess is that your
1280 will be faster if you step back to 1440.
