Digital BW, The Print

From the recent Qimage thread there looked to be an interest in multiple image printing.  
Here is an ftp link to an Epson Euro site with a free plugin for multiple images on many of the 
Epson desktops.  The link originally came via a Luminous Landscape article.

ftp://download.epson-europe.com/pub/download/3210/epson321060eu.dmg 

There may be a PC version somewhere as well.

The official name is Epson Print Plug-In for Photoshop Version 1.01

Hello all,
I downloaded the Epson Print Plug-In, installed it to CS 3
but it seems to ONLY recognize my Epson 1400.
Anyone else have anything to share from your experience?

Here is a list of the printers the plugin works with:

Epson Print Plug-In, Epson Stylus Photo 1400, Epson Stylus Photo 1410, Epson Stylus Photo 
R1800, Epson Stylus Photo R1900, Epson Stylus Photo R2400, Epson Stylus Photo R2880, 
Epson Stylus Pro 3800

Here also is a link that seems to recognize your operating sytem at the download prompt:

I've just downloaded and tried this plugin. With the standard Claria
inkset in an Epson 1400, on UPPM, the B&W is fairly neutral, looking
quite similar to CS3 with a gamma gray 2.2 input profile and UPPM
absolute colormetric output profile.

I have some gripes, though:

- Who the heck thought of this user interface? It's horrid.
- It only will accept RGB images? Why is that? What's wrong with Grayscale?
- It won't let me define custom paper sizes (as far as I can tell -- as
I said, the user interface is difficult ("Let's see just how many small
intricate controls we can cram on the screen at one time"). I like to
proof on quarter sheet, and the closest it has is 3x5.

Anyway, it does produce good output, but I think if I had a QTR profile
for UPPM, it would do as well (I only found a PGPS profile and BO
profile in QTR; if anyone knows about a QTR UPPM/Claria profile, I'd
like to try it). And yes, I know, Eboni with the 1400 with the BO
profile in QTR is supposed to be very good, but I haven't quite
convinced myself that I really want to have two different inksets, and
purging ink lines, etc., etc.
