What joy, another oddity.  Are you in the US? (Trying to determine if
this is another country difference).  I'm in the US, and when the
driver first opens it's set at Sheet, Plain Paper, Normal, Letter
size, and Color Controls.  But VFA is not grayed out.  When I select
it, a warning pops up, then it changes to Manual Roll.  But I can then
switch it back to Sheet and go from there.

So anyway, it's possible you may need to recreate your saved settings.
 But first, see if you can switch back to Sheet feeder while VFA is
selected.  If so, then go ahead and do the others (Best Photo, ABW,
Ink Config, etc), then save those settings.  Next time you open the
driver you can select that custom setting and you'll get it all in one
click.  

I wish Epson would consult with me next time they design a driver
interface <g> (AKA "If I was king I would...").

Clayton
