I'm printing it now in the 220 with no problems.  I do hand feed each sheet,
giving it a little pressure to get it started.  With me it's the 2400 that
is more of a problem, in part because I do not have a place for it that
facilitates the straight through path.

No, I have never used it.

Yes, it does sound like the same basic paper type.
