Guys,

Again, see post #5. The reason for this is actually very simple. I just double checked my notes and my setup on the computer that runs my 3800, 2200, and 9600. You have to go into your contro panel and make a choice on your "printing preferences." While it isn't the smartest move Epson has made, it is easy to work around this. Just make sure if you are switching inks, to also switch you printer preferences. I never understood this because both my 2200 and 9600 are both setup with photo black inks and I never had to change the preferences because it made no difference. With the 3800 it's different. If you want to stop wasting ink, make sure you change your printing preferences under that printer. Jim
