Digital BW, The Print

Hello,

I have been printing merrily for 2 years on my Epson R2400 on VFA through the regular sheet 
feeder--After choosing VFA, a warning would come up, "Manual-Roll Required".  I would hit 
"ignore", and print, rarely having a misfeed.

I've just upgraded my system, from a pc to a Mac, from PS CS2 to CS3, and to an updated 
Epson driver.  Now, if the sheet feeder is chosen in the page set-up dialogue, I can't choose 
VFA (or USFA or Watercolor) because they are greyed-out.  If a manual-roll option is chosen 
in the page set-up, I can choose VFA, but am no longer able to print through the regular 
sheet feeder--apparently must use the rear feeder, which I've never done, and don't want to 
do if I can avoid it.  (Parenthetically, with the old system, I could not access "Photo RPM", now 
I can.)

Question--is there a way to keep printing on VFA through the regular sheet feeder in my new 
system?  It's also an issue because on Paul Roark's great advice, I use a lot of Premier Matte 
210 gms for which USFA paper type and profiles are used (per ITSupplies website).

Thanks, and thanks for all the great teaching on this form--been lurking for a while.

Lauri
