From: Mike Skuczas on 28 Feb 2005 10:49 It's been awhile sinc e I tried printing photos with my R200. Has anyone heard of a fix for the SP 2 problem? My prints come out much darker and have a bluish cast to them. My camera is an Minolta DiMage 7 and it supports the image matching tech in the printer. I only seen three gamma settings in the advance properties. Tried the highest and it was still too dark. What brands of printers were unaffected by the SP 2 for XP? Mike Skuczas

It isn't affected by SP2. -- # Lukasz Ledýchowski # GG: 503647 lukled(a)tlen.pl # http://www.allegro.pl/show_user_auctions.php?uid=10223
