Re: Epson driver not centering

2011-01-30 by Photoshop Groups

Hello, Richard,
I have Epson 4880 and, I think, stumbled upon the same problem. I hope my discovery would work for your printer too. I was trying to print on roll paper with "centered" check mark used at Epson driver. Images stubbornly leaned to the edge of the roll only 1 cm away from the paper edge. I was going through the same stages as you (items 3 - 8 in your message) and even more. Afterwards I found what was the problem:  I made mistake while creating a specific "size of paper" in the printer driver. When you are choosing "Roll" option, you are getting offered some standard paper sizes like A4, A3 etc., but you can select "User Defined" which I did. Then I made mistake: instead of putting width of roll as a horizontal paper size I put dimension of image plus some space for border. Driver refused to center my combination. The end of story: you need to choose size of you paper as parameters not size of your picture in the driver.
Hope this works in your case.
