Digital BW, The Print

Paul....I went on the Epson site and found that they do not have the 
2200 on the list of recommended printers for the Premier Scrapbook 
sheets. Have you or any of the other members heard this? And has 
anyone printed Ultrasmooth or the Scrapbook sheets on a 2200? 
Thanks, Jim weekes
