Does it print the 4x6 a little big or does it stay 4x6 and trim the edge of
the image?  I just had a long discussion with Epson UK Support.  They simply
did not believe me, did not have a 2100 they could use to test and asked me
to send in the tests I had done.  They were also unaware of the photo black
Black Only issue - printing with all colours.

I gess I will check out the "maximum" option for the 2100.  (There are
Standard, Maximum and No Margins.)  Maybe that is the equivalent of
"minimize margins".
