CD,
It's when I print from Photoshop with the created Printer Profile from
PFP. In photoshop the image is bright and clear, and on paper it is
much much darker with little shadow detail showing. For example in a
portrait that appears correct in photoshop, the skin tone is about 1-1
1/2 zones darker that it should be. The photoshop and printer settings
are described below in a proevious message that is quoted. Other than
a little different location in the driver for the 2400, it's pretty
much straightforward and very similar to the settings for the 1280.
The same image printed on the 2400 and the 1280 is very different with
the 2400 being much darker on the scale of values from dark shadow to
bright highlights.

Still confused as whether it is PFP, PShop, or me!!!!????
