Re: r220 won't print with PhotoRag

2006-08-23 by Roger

It will feed, but might drive you batty.  You need to support it as 
it goes in, but not push it so hard that it passes through all the 
way.  Sometimes I get it on the first try, sometimes it takes 3 or 4 
tries...

The R220 seems to like thin papers better, and likes the Innova 315 
as well.  Moab 300, Photorag, etc don't feed well at all.

There is a "thick paper" option in the print driver (well buried) 
but I haven't found that it does anything useful, and annoyingly 
prompts you each time you try to print.  

The R220 is a great printer and worth the $5 or so I spent on it 
(the price minus selling the OEM inks on ebay).
