Digital BW, The Print

How are you guys doing this?  I have downloaded the new Epson driver 
for the 2200 and now my prints are centered using the Epson Driver, but 
not with the QTR software...Any ideas?

Unfortunately, the centering code is based on the printable area not the
paper itself.  So it's unaware of the uneven margins.  It should be consistent
though.  So figure out how much you need to nudge an image up/down or
left/right and it should be always the same.  Also it's different for portrait versus
landscape setups.

So...If I change the margins using the custom margins by the same amount...It will be 
fine?  This is basically what I have done and I have a custom size for a landscape and 
a custom for portrait in each paper size.

I've never tried it but it sounds like a good solution.

Thanks.

I've been setting up the print, under "page set up" in the "Print with Preview" area as one 
of the gimp print printers (without using the quadtone for this part), and then setting up 
the quad tone RIP printer under "Print." This allows me to use the quadtone curves, but 
the pages come out centered.

Is this new driver any better for B&W printing ?  What are
its improvements ?

Thanks, John
