[QUOTE="perkin-warbeck, post: 214967, member: 13461"] Thank you Shadowman. My goal at the moment is less lofty. I just want to get the printer to lay down some ink. I think I'm getting close to a solution. I printed the color image on the cyanotype side of the paper, but this time I fed the paper upside-down. The printer had no problem laying down the color. So I think the problem is the something at the top of the paper. The difference between the top and bottom edge is hard to explain without referring back to the photo I posted earlier in this discussion. As you can see, the top of the page has a dark blue line running horizontally 0.88 inches from the top edge. This line resulted from imperfect masking of the negative when I exposed the print. I'm going to see what happens when I use white-out on this edge. I'll cover it with tape so it doesn't gum up the print head. Edit: nothing I that I tried (including covering up the dark blue line, as described above) got the printer to print beyond the first couple of inches when I loaded the paper with the correct orientation (it fails with a "Paper Eject" error). Meanwhile the printer always succeeds when I load the paper upside down. [/QUOTE]
