Does anyone have any idea how to deal with the following printing problem?:
I am trying to print from an Epson R2400 running OS 10.4.9 on an intel- MacBook Pro. The thing seems to work fine on most programs when printing on normal low-grade paper from the sheet feeder. But it starts to become very erratic when I specify to print onto inkjet paper and especially double-sided paper. It will work for a while but then will start just running the paper through without printing and declaring that media is out or misfed. After a couple of rounds of this it will just jiggle the paper in the paper feeder and not feed it at all. This is the case for trying to print from all programs: Quark, Indesign, Photoshop, Acrobat, even Textedit. Epson and Apple basically blame each other's product. I have tried resetting the printing system and reloading the printer driver software. I haven't yet gone as far as reloaded the OS software. Anyone with any similar experience and ideas?
