Digital BW, The Print

Did you try the manual top feed while choosing Photo XXX Paper in the
QTR Printer 
Features dialog? I'd like to know if that worked, because I'm going
to have to use it soon!

As for front loading, it's next to impossible using Epson's provided
information, because 
it's wrong. I tried 20-30x to get a 17x22 sheet of Ultrasmooth 500gm,
and it just wouldn't 
accept it. So I called Epson, and their procedure is different from
what it says in the 
manual. On the paper tray cover there are a series of lines. The ones
you are concerned 
with are the line where it says "Letter", the line where it says "A3"
(or something like that - 
I'm just doing this from memory), and the big line that says "Other"
which runs the full 
width of the paper tray. But the most important line is the small one
on the right edge with 
the arrow pointing at it. The Epson manual says to push the paper
against the right edge 
guide, which looks to be a small piece of white plastic in the mouth
opening. If you do 
this, like you do for top feed, the paper will be drawn in too far to
the right to print on, 
and the printer will reject it. Instead, square up the paper with the
line that corresponds to 
the size paper you are using, and use the line with the arrow as your
right edge. Might be 
tricky with Letter size, but it's very easy with a 17" wide sheet.
