Dear Roy I have been printing with ABW/EPSON Driver for 2 years and I did not have this problem. Recently I have installed K7 Piezo inks and QTR and the problem started. Since the ink change I have used the same paper size, the same print size and I did not use the EPSON driver at all. And yes this happens every time. I have not used the cutter off setting yet, this will be my next test.
