Gord,

Another trick that helps the feed with some printers is to put the transparency film in the carrier, then apply some pressure to the top of the sheet with your fingers causing the sheet to bend and have tension just before the printer pulls it in.

I don't have your specific printer, but sometimes with transparency film and
feeding problems, you can tape the leading edge of the transparency to a
carrier sheet (plain piece of paper) with double-sided removeable tape and
get the printer to recognice the transparency as a piece of paper. Not sure
this will work in your case, but it might be worth a try.

My first attempts at digital negatives aren't going well.

Keeping things simple to start - I am using my old epson stylus c88 
printer to make digital negatives with ultrafine inkjet transparency media.

The media jams in my printer - it appears to get stuck. I think the 
leading edge of the film is jamming against something inside the printer. 

Anyone have any experience?
