Ginny:

I hate to be a stick in the mud, and I know you are new to all of this, but 
it would be very helpful to you if you tried to research some of this 
information on your own. Try googling some of the terms that are used or 
people that are mentioned.

You can't learn everything in a day. To become a good B&W printer takes time 
and lots of trial and error to find what works for you. IMHO you would serve 
yourself better and build a better foundation of knowledge by researching 
things yourself and using the list as one of the many sources you tap.

If you want to discuss this (off topic subject) further, contact me off 
list.

Wow! Thanks Peter.
What a wealth of information on Clayton's site! It is most informative.
  Interesting that he is so pleased with Black Only printing. I assume
that the 2400 can do BO printing.
 Thanks again for your help!
  Best
  Ginny
