ann sez O? :) I mentioned that for the benefit of others,actually, I knew you knew but I think it was not reiterated which one he had in your post. ann, quoted by Doug also said > > and the paper certainly matters as we have discussed here. > Doug replies > > Well, I'm not so sure of that.

Ummm but it won't print nicely.. I have had it happen by accident. If you are using glossy paper and you have the setting on matte it makes a mess, for instance. And I'm guessing that if you tell it glossy and your theory is correct, you wont get enough ink to make a good print on matte.

But her printer finally does stop dead at the point where a little red X covers the printer. If one can go beyond that, I haven't found a way. Doug, I'm not at all meaning to be contentious, just trying to rehash to get Cory the best info. I sure was helped in selecting the 820 by all of you here. ann
