Digital BW, The Print

Thanks.  I forgot to mention I'm on a windows XP platform, using an 
Epson 2200 with UC inkset (either pk or mk inks).  

Just trying to figure out the basics of v2.1b using the GUI 
interface.  Seems pretty nice from what little I have done, but I 
don't really understand how all the settings work and what the 
abbreviations are yet.

I'll probably use matte art papers mostly (EpEnhMatte, PhotoRag, Moab 
Entrada, Somerset, etc), but I thought if I asked how to set up a 
print on both matte and glossy papers, I might end up with a better 
understanding of the overall program.  

Any basic pointers are appreciated.

Thanks, Lou
