Herbert, you can hardly blame Epson for using the most common paper size in 
the world rather than accommodating people who have not thrown away old 
boxes from an old technology. A similar comment for your LR gripe. Heaven 
knows I am no fan of Adobe's business practices, but surely you cannot 
expect them to develop for an OS that became obsolete 4 years ago.
