[Leica] odd problem with Epson 2400 and 4800

[reid at mejac.palo-alto.ca.us (Brian Reid)]

I need to reach down and pick up my jaw from the floor. I have one computer 
on which I have not yet updated Photoshop 9.0 to 9.0.1, so I recabled the 
2400 to that computer (my laptop) and printed the image and -- bingo -- the 
problem went away. By "went away" I mean that the image looked about the 
same as it did when printed on a Fuji Frontier.

So, yes indeed, this was a bug in Mac OS X, masquerading as a bug in the 
Epson printer drivers.

On the other hand, in my attempts to get some quality out of that image, I 
spent a lot more time (hence made fewer changes) on re-Photoshopping it, so 
I ended up with a much nicer final image.

Thank you so much, Mike.
