Digital BW, The Print

I'm pretty sure there was mention of a recent change in QTR that,
until fixed, influenced top feed with heavy papers. Mine got cranky,
then improved with the current upgrade.

In any case, is it another case of the dread Intelligunk Design
(y'all)...that curses certain printer vintages to mysteriously fail,
on a predictable basis?  Sounds like a window of opportunity for
advocates of Intelligunk Engineering. 

We might expect breakdowns with heavy usage, but I suspect more common
feed problems have to do with junque accumulation from soft art
papers, insistance of running heavy paper thru the top (eg anything
above 200 gsm), perhaps a QTR issue, and (I've watched this) dramatic
yanking-out of jams (I've never had a jam with 2200, but some folks
seem jam-prone...hopefully not an indicator of Devolution).
