Digital BW, The Print

Nick, thanks for the reply.  I put the paper in the tray and it printed, although i still had it 
set to manual feed.  This 4000 just seems to be a finicky little bitch when it comes to the 
paper feed.  Front loading seems to be quite complicated for me in terms of getting the 
sheet straight, i haven't given it a tremendous amount of practice yet but it does not seem 
very intuitive.  i've read the manual, watched the QT tutorial and it still is very hit and 
miss.  Do you have any tips in that department??

thanks
