Thanks for the kind words, Ted.  Unfortunately, my Epson printer, which has 
been going down hill for some time, is now suitable only for printing black 
and white documents.  I tried to unclog the color heads, and only succeeded 
in using up a few dollars worth of ink.

I have considered just storing some of my better images in a thumb drive, 
and going to a commercial printer.  At my frequency of use, I'm not sure a 
new printer is worth the investment.
