Digital BW, The Print

Thanks, Richard, I'll try that one again, though I do believe I 
tried it a few months backs when I first started using an R1800. I 
don't think Clayton's been able to get it to work for his 2400 
either-his first post was for the 2200. Anybody have any luck with 
this method?
