Digital BW, The Print

I had this exact same problem with the 2200 using IP 5.0 when
printing on 
Hahnemuhle Photo Rag 13 X 19 inch paper. Apparently this particular
paper is sized 
slightly smaller than what the 2200 thinks a 13 X 19 inch piece of
paper should be. 

Try manually specifying a paper size 1/8 or 1/4 inch shorter in
length (or in both 
dimensions) than the size your paper is supposed to be. This might
take care of the 
problem.
