QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hi Juraj,

The strange thing is that this is the only report I know of like this.
I think you've got to try some different things.  Try the Epson driver
again.
Try the sheet feeder.  Try different paper sizes -- standard and custom.
Who knows, maybe there's a hardware malfunction like a paper sensor.

To narrow down the problem we need to find a scenario that works and one
that fails and get it down to one change.  Right now there's too many
changes
to know what caused it.
