Digital BW, The Print

Hi Paul,

Thank you for your speedy reply! (Last time we exchanged e-mails when
I bought my Epson 3000). The key problem now is the SW/driver
conflict, the fact that my printer (under Epson v.1 driver) is all
about to start but immediately stops the print job.  Once I solve
this, the rest will be much easier.  I agree with you that,
mechanically, the 2000P printer is a good workhorse.

Best regards,

Vlad
