I will try the test print. I'm also going to try printing with colorsynch. But I'm beginning to suspect it's a printer problem. Good thing I still have the box. I've finished printing my wedding pics and was assembling the book yesterday. I want to reprint one or two shots. I was trying to do that when the printer failed. I think I'll just complete the book and tell the bride that I'll replace two pages later. It's in a binder that allows for page removal. I don't think she wants to wait another couple of weeks. Bad timing for an equipment failure. Paul On Jan 21, 2007, at 12:07 PM, Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote:
