Re: Velvet Mystery Solved...I think.

This sounds real strange.  Maybe it's different on a Mac.  I just hit
Ctrl-P and up pops the printer window.  I select the 2400, then the
Properties button and up pops the driver window.  On the Main tab is
the paper list and everything is available.

That happens to me as well, but then I click OK and go back to the
picklist and reselect "Sheet" and go ahead and use the top feeder, for
everything from 1/4 sheets to 13x19.  Even real thick papers.  They
usually require a little nudge to get it started.  Also I bend a small
bit of curl to the leading edge.  Once you get the knack you can make
it take anything.  The rear feeder is quite strange and finicky and I
never use it.

If you save the settings you can just pick your custom settings from
the list and you won't get the feeder warning (this is described in
article #9).

Regards,
Clayton
