QTR-Quadtone RIP

I had the Frank Kolwicz problem with 250GSM and 300GSM paper (heavy
stuff).

Initially I was able to use the top loader with these papers, with
just a little push or flexing the paper initially to reduce its
stiffness. 

After a few dozen prints I had Frank's problem (below). Something did
seem to wear, maybe a microswitch?

My fix was to load from the rear, the way I was supposed to in the
beginning...however the printer remained cranky until I put it through
something like Frank's sequence, as well as rebooting. Once I did that
it became totally reliable again. There was no need to
uninstall/reinstall the drivers.

Aborted jobs (sometimes?) wind up as huge memory-hogging files in Temp
memory (or somewhere else), so it's important to do a Disc Cleanup
after problems.
