Digital BW, The Print

OK, can't seem to get the simplest things right today... I'm on a Mac,
so your "media source" is my "paper feed", another QTR setting I've
always ignored..
Now I can confirm same behavior... sheet properly loaded, which after
hitting print spends some time re-situating itself to the wrong spot,
proceeding then to print on air... nice trick.
It's not just your printer...
We should be doing this on the QTR list.
