Did we get a reply as to how this poster (sorry, I lost track of the 
names) "tricked" the driver into using 2880dpi?

Also, there's some discussion above about needing to have 2 
connections to the printer (one for the regular Epson driver and one 
for the RIP).  Is this correct?  So, say I currently have the 2200 
connected via USB, I should now also connect it to the computer with, 
e.g., a firewire cable in order for the RIP to work?

Finally, let me repeat my earlier desperate plea for those using the 
RIP successfully to post their exact installation and workflow (I 
think Sandy said he will do so -- thanks!).  I know it's a pain, but 
it would be really helpful. Also, could we try to consolidate this 
discussion into one thread, perhaps titled "Epson 2200 RIP: 
installation, workflow and opinions"?  It's getting hard to track 
what's going on where.
