Thanks for the reassurance and advice, John.  All that stuff does sound a little 
intimidating.  I'll try going with your suggestions and see what happens.  

I have one other Issue -- probably minor.  I have to use Classic/PS 7 to access 
the Manual Feed for the Velvet Fine Art paper that I'm using.  Is that going to 
make any difference?  (For example, I did notice that Epson's updated profiles 
don't show up as options in Classic, though they do in OSX.)

Cheers,

peter
