Digital BW, The Print

If the other suggestions don't help, you might try what I was told to
do by the Epson tech. I was haveing a problem with a different file
that you are, but it may well be the same fix. The faq explaines how
to do it; here's the link. I had been pulling my hair out for several
hours and it took the tech a hour to get to this point. Ultimately,
the fix was so simple.

http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&infoType=FAQ&oid=54861&prodoid=53540920&foid=61082

I'm not sure if Yahoo will like such a long url, so if it doesn't work
go to the Epson.com support page, find the page for the R2400, select
"Top Faqs For This Product" and click on faq #9.

Good luck,

Charlie
