David,

Like espen, I use that very same setup and it works very well. It's about the simplest, most trouble-free way to go at quality b/w printing, at least for me at this end of the learning curve! I would encourage you to go for it.

And espen passed on a good tip in case I do get some clogging, ie the use of Mr. Muscle cleaner.. I'll print that suggestion out and put it in my "useful tips" file! Haven't had that problem yet but in case I do I'll try that. Thanks, espen!

Paul
