QTR-Quadtone RIP

Michael,

I also had this problem of not printing with my Epson R2400. Sometimes
the paper get thru without printing, even with Epson driver if I
did'nt turned off the printer for a while before a new trial after
using QTR. But it nevermore happens since I have downloaded the last
issue (2.5.1.8).

takes up to 7 or 8 times through before the printing starts.  I'm not
sure if this is QTR or the R1800 having issues with the paper stock,
because I will also have times when getting the paper to actually
catch in the feed may take several attempts, but eventually it does
work and is only a minor inconvenience.  When the paper feeds without
printing, just put it back in to the feed and hit the paper feed
button (should be blinking red at this point).  I think the "Not
Monitoring" has to do with the web update link, not the R1800 (I could
be wrong, but I've had this message often, and it never affects printing)
