Digital BW, The Print

Tyler...I've re-set and reinstalled the driver a couple of times...Leopard gives you several 
driver options when you add the 2200: one is Gimp/CUPS based, another the Gutenstuff 
(haha) and there is also the option to re-install the old driver from Panther....which will not work if you do.

The Epson tech told me to go back to using Panther if I want those old options, i.e BO. 
Hey, thanks! Sooooo helpful!! Sheesh. 

Interestingly, I tried the "grayscale" option in the dropdown menu "printer features" 
(replaces the old Panther "print settings" menu), and chose the "two level ink" option under 
ink type. I got what looks to be a BO print, though obviously the printer must be using 
light black as well as the matte black ink (Eboni, in my case.)

It's all pretty confusing. And with QTR, the banding is hard for me to tell what the heck is 
going on. It never banded in Panther.
