Digital BW, The Print

There's been a couple of reports of strange things happening on the 4000.  It seems
to be very intermitent -- it works correctly immediately after.  One person said
it happened after using the Epson driver for a color print.  I'd like to come up
with a scenario so I can duplicate the problem.  So if this happens note anything
different you've done with the printer -- eg. Epson driver, other drivers, nozzle
checks, cleaning, cancelling a print, first print after rebooting.  
Whatever sequence might be correlated with the problem is useful to know.  My
suspicion is that printer is somehow in a state where it isn't handling the 
normal sequence of commands.

Please email me with any info you may have I hope to see some pattern in how
this happens.

Thanks,
Roy
