Re: Installing Problems for Epson 2880

2008-11-28 by rabanito

Hallo Peter

thank you for the hints. I got something else, perhaps this could help
to understand what's happening.

First I uninstalled and installed again. I even tried a former version
but the result is the same.

NOW: 

- I used 21step.tif as you proposed. 
- I fed enough sheets (A4)just to see what happens.
- The first sheet got printed a horizontal line (or wedge)about 1mm
thickness
- the next 3 or 4 sheets got nothing
- The 5th sheet got gibberish like ..@A@L@@DA@D@AADD@@DD@@@....etc

Looks like QTR and my printer are not speaking the same language, but
I am a novice in these matters... I presume there is something to be
done that I missed...

Thanks again

Jorge
