Subject: [Leica] Warning about odd Epson 3800 behavior

During my recent move from one house to another, my Epson 3800 printer was 
unplugged and  packed in a cardboard box for about 4 months.

I had an absolute dickens of a time getting it to work properly after I 
found it and plugged it in again.

After a very long troubleshooting quest, I finally found the problem, and 
I'm reporting it so that others might benefit.

Somehow, either by sitting in a box for 4 months or by something that I did 
wrong, all of my stored paper profiles were lost, except for their names. So 
when I told the printer to use Profile #1, Crane Museo Silver Rag, it said 
"fine", but the contents of that profile were the default settings.

I rebuilt all of my paper profiles and re-saved them, and it all works fine 
now. If you are having print-quality issues with your 3800, look inside the 
store paper profiles to make sure that they are what you think they are.
