The problem is that you're using the 2200 with HP paper, just about
the worst choice for Epsons because of the low absorbency. To begin
with at least, get a small supply of Epson papers like Enhanced Matte
and Premium Lustre to try your printer out. These papers have a
microcoating that dries the ink immediately, and you won't have any
problems with rollers getting inked up.

Pably so.........You just spent upwards of $700+ for this printer. Some
papers, good, other than Epson will work fine with it; however, would advise
against the popular inclination to nickle and dime your investment; i.e.,
refill inks of questionable compatibility and trying to use the least
expensive papers................not sure what drives that desire, but my
'inclination' is to use Epson products with their gear - anyting goes
haywire, I'm not wondering where the fault lies

Shoot'em up, print with anything, Agfa, Fuji, Kodak and all the rest will
love you for it!!
