Digital BW, The Print

Hi Sarah,

I tried your method for manual feed and it worked fine with the Epson USB 
driver.  I haven't  tried it with Firewire yet.  I wasn't pressing the button to get 
the printer to adjust the paper position. That made all the difference.  I don't 
have to do that in Classic.  Then again, in Classic, you have the option of 
choosing manual feed.  Either way, I'm really relieved I don't have to go into 
Classic to print on thicker paper.  Thanks for that.

I'm still not able to print from the QUAD2200 driver.  Yes, I have selected it in 
all the places you mentioned (I'm on Panther 3.5).  

When I click Print, the  QUAD2200 print driver comes up in the dock and it 
says it's going to print the document listed, but it just doesn't seem to be able 
to do it, and then the job vanishes from the list and it says, "no print jobs" and 
that's it.  A couple of times it said, "Invalid printer settings" but it hasn't done 
that recently.

Another odd thing, is that the QTR curves 1 and 2 don't always appear in the 
print dialogue box, even though the Blend Curves option is there.  I must be 
doing something wrong, but I can't figure out what it is.
