Digital BW, The Print

I'm following this thread with great interest. I, too, have 'feed
issues' with my 2400. It does appear to be very finicky with  thicker
papers. 
 I recently tried H. Photo Rag 308. It was really hard to get this
paper to feed correctly. I ultimately had to use the single sheet
front feeder. And, even that, was not consistently effective.
 It is discouraging to have paid so much for a printer that has feed
issues with thicker papers.
