Borderless printing, Epson stylus photo 820

Ok, I'm trying to print this: http://www.thecoverproject.net/view.php?cover_id=1716
On an Epson Stylus Photo 820. I know this printer can do borderless prints, I just can't figure out how. Is this a driver issue or something? Is borderless printing on this printer a PC only feature? Am I missing something entirely?
Thanks for any help!

I don't have experience with the Stylus Photo 820, but I do have a Stylus Photo 890 and unfortunately borderless printing is not possible in OS X, even with the latest drivers. I went round and round with this with Epson Tech Support, who kept sending me suggestions that didn't work and finally they admitted that it was just not possible. I doubt that Epson will further update the drivers for these rather elderly printers.

  • Why isn't my printer (epson stylus photo 820) working anymore??

    HI,
    I am having problems with my printer, an epson stylus photo 820. I have been using it for a long time, and suddenly for no reason, it refuses to print!
    When I am trying to print something, in the stylus photo 820 dialogue box, it says "printing" under "status" but nothing happens for about 6-7 minutes. Then, the printer makes a noise and in the dialogue box it says "jobs stopped."
    I have trying to reinstall the software that came with the printer, but it did not solve anything.
    Thank you for your help.

    You're Welcome highonthesound!
    As I no longer have the Epson drivers installed, I'm not exactly sure how you can check which driver you currently are using.
    If the procedure posted below doesn't work, the Epson may be dead. This worked for my Epson C86 whenever I encountered problems.
    Change any C86 reference I may have missed editing, to your 820 model.
    * Download the driver from Epson - 820, Printer Driver v1.8bAs
    * Before moving the folder & files listed below, to a Temporary Epson Trash Folder, that you should create on the Desktop, open Printer Setup Utility, and delete the 820.
    * Quit Printer Setup Utility
    * Move the files (Posted in CAPITALIZED Italics), to the newly created Temporary Epson Trash Folder

    I also had a Epson OS X booklet.pdf, that I had saved in my Documents folder. You will get a new one. After the installation, I replaced it. You may not have saved your original one. It's no big deal, there's really not much in it, In fact I don't remember the last time I opened it!
    * Quit ALL running Applications
    * Repair Permissions using Disk Utility in the Utilities folder
    * Dig out your Epson 820 Start Here instruction quick sheet, for reference

  • Epson Stylus Photo 820 print workaround for OS 10.3.9?

    Howdy!
    I have an Epson Stylus Photo 820 that I'm using under OS 10.3.9- that I can't seem to (directly) print to out of in most applications. It works fine in Safari and Entourage and Quark; but out of Photoshop, Illustrator; InDesign, Word, etc., there's no print option. I have to click Preview first and then am able to print. It doesn't work at all with Adobe Acrobat Pro 7 and one or two other apps. The driver I have installed is version 1.1.0 (I didn't see any updated drivers on the Epson page). The Print Manager sees it in the queue. It's checked and set as the default printer. Yet, I still have the headache.
    Anyone else having similar problems? Is there a workaround?
    Also- I kind of miss my printing options of my (long gone and MUCH better quality) Epson 740 under OS 9 where I could set the print quality level of the print out. Is there a similar option for the 820 under OS 10.3.9?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Thanks, but the one driver that may have worked (though it states for OS's 10.1.3-10.2.6... there is no 10.3.9 version) has a dead link.

    This is really frustrating that Epson will take your money and not support their product. No wonder they have a huge class action suit against them.

  • Printing from iPhoto 08 on Printer Epson Stylus Photos Rx 500?

    Up to before I purchase a new 20" Mac OSX 1.5 Leopard from Tiger X 1.4.9 I had no problems printing on my Epson Stylus Photo RX500, but, even after having a new driver for Epson,the printing is a "****", I no longer have, as before the ability to chose the quality of print which I desire, I mean the best rendition for subject which I photographed, like Portraits, I no longer can control the printing speed as I used to before (for qualities) and am left with photos with lines, no matter what I do. I wasted 2 sets of ink cartridges, and lots of papers to try to circumvent the problem, to no avail. Sometimes using mat paper works well, glossy no.
    Cam I have some help ? Tanks.

    I had the same problem. The new driver I downloaded never worked properly. I ended up buying a new printer. I still use my Epson to scan with no problem. I actually need a part for my Epson RX 500 if you'd be willing to part with your scanner lid for a price. [email protected]

  • Error when trying to print-Epson Stylus Photo R300-missing drivers

    I just purchased I Life 06 and installed on my IMAC G5. The computer locked up after I tried to open an IDVD file and I had to shut off the power to shut it down. I started up the MAC and it got stuck on the printer install..I called tech support and they ran the repair disk and inserted the Epson CD that has the drivers on it and the mac says that the drivers are already there. I go to print utility and it shows the Epson printer but no drivers. Please help, the printer worked just fine before I installed I Life 06...Mac tech support said that it is an Epson issue.

    Hello SoccerLover,
    First of all, welcome to the Apple discussions.
    When you got the Epson printer CD, that there is a un-installer on the CD. Run it an run Disk Utilities repair permissions.
    After you finished do a Finder search to make sure that the un-installer worked perfectly.
    Now try to re-install the Epson Printer again.
    Let me know if so ...
    Good luck ...

    Next, when you get to a print window, be sure to select your custom media

  • Problem using Print CD on Epson Stylus Photo RX700

    I recently installed OS 10.5.1 (leopard) on my iMac (intel core duo) and my Epson Stylus Photo RX700 all-in-one printer appears to be working okay, except when I try to use the Print CD application, I get a message "Epson printer driver dealing with CD printing is not installed". I tried downloading updates from the epson.com site ( 1- Epson Easy Print v3.1bA for intel, 2- TWAIN Driver & Epson Scan Utility v3.02A, 3- Printer Driver v3.0aAS), but I still get the same message. Any suggestions? -Don

    You need to add the Epson drivers from the OS X Install disk. Below is what Epson sent me. Note that when you re-add the Printers, there no longer is a Printer Set Up Utility, go into Preferences > Print & Fax and do it from there. Worked for me. Good Luck.
    REMOVE FILES
    1.  Double click on the MAC HARD DRIVE.
    2.  Double click on the LIBRARY folder.
    3.  Double click on the PRINTERS folder.
    4.  Drag the EPSON folder to the trash can.
    5.  Close any open windows.
    6.  Double click on the MAC HARD DRIVE.
    7.  Double click on the LIBRARY folder.
    8.  Double click on the RECEIPTS folder.
    9.  Delete any EPSON receipts.
    10. Close all open windows and restart your computer.
    REINSTALL THE EPSON DRIVER PACKAGE
    1. Insert your Mac OS X 10.4 Install disc. Open CD when it appears on the
    desktop.
    2. Find and double-click on the Optional Installs.mpkg.
    3. After the installer opens, choose the following custom install options:
      -Check PRINTER DRIVERS and use arrow next to this entry to expand this
    category.
      -Check EPSON below the PRINTER DRIVERS heading. (You do not need to
    install other manufacturer's packages.)
    4. Click INSTALL (or UPGRADE) and follow prompts to reinstall the resident
    Epson printer driver package. Remove the OS CD and then restart the
    computer after installation is complete.
    READD THE PRINTER
    1. Go into HD > Applications > Utilities and open the Printer Setup
    Utility. The PRINTER LIST window appears.
    2. Highlight and delete any existing references to your Epson printer. (If
    you want to be thorough and do not have any other printers on the Mac,
    choose PRINTER SETUP UTILITY from the top of the screen and RESET PRINTING
    SYSTEM. Confirm resetting the system. This clears any existing printer
    entries and queues. If you have other printers on the Mac and use this
    reset, you will need to readd them later.)
    3. Turn the printer OFF and back ON to make the Mac redetect it and add it
    to the list automatically. (Do not change the PRINT USING field. Selecting
    EPSON here would add a GIMP Print driver which does not support all of the
    functions of the resident Epson driver. Epson does not support or recommend
    these third party drivers.)
    4. If you have other printers on the list, make the Epson entry the
    default.
    5. Close the Printer Setup Utility and try a test print from any OS X-based
    application.
    *NOTE: If the printer does not show up on the list, it may mean a lack of
    detection. Ensure the printer is online (no red error lights) and connected
    directly to the Mac. Try moving the cable end to other USB ports, if need
    be. If you have not done so already, you can also try resetting the Printer
    Setup Utility, as described above.
    If you are working with a printer model which supports borderless and/or
    roll paper printing options, you will be able to select these options in
    the program you are printing from as you set up your print job.
    1. Once you have an image or file open, go to File > Page Setup.
    2. For FORMAT FOR select the Epson printer name (rather than ANY PRINTER)
    3. Select the appropriate Paper Size. If your printer supports different
    layout features, each paper size will have several different options. For
    example, the 4x6 paper size will have an arrow pointing right which offers
    choices of 4x6 Borderless, 4x6 Standard-Minimize Margins, etc. Pick the
    paper type plus layout/margin option you want to use here.
    4. Click OK on Page Setup. You are now ready to print.

  • Print quality on Epson Stylus Photo R800

    Hi...
    I'm using Lightroom 3.6 and an Epson Stylus Photo R800. This printer is capable of printing very high quality pictures, as I know by using it for almost 5 years.
    I have bought Lightroom about 6 month ago. I have tried anything I can think off to get those fabulus pictures out of my Epson printer. I alterd color managment settings, changed print resolutions, downloaded new printerdriver, ... Nothing works. Print quality when printing from Lightroom is very poor. Bad colors (dark), stripes over the whole image, it looks like nothing realy.
    One of the things that I noticed is that the maximum resolution for printing in LR is 720 ppi. My Epson is capable of 1550 ppi.
    I see a lot of discussion going about print quality with lightroom... I think however this is a more basic problem. My print qualiti is realy very very bad...
    Does anyone have similar problems or (even better) a hint to a solution?
    Note,
    When I export a picture to .jpg format (I shoot in RAW only), and print this directly from Windows, I do get the perfect picture a was used to... I cannot believe that Lightroom is unable to do the same.
    Thanks!
    Erik.

  • How can I remove vertical lines when printing from Aperture 3.2.2 to Epson Stylus Photo RX690?

    I have been generally quite happy with my access to and use of Aperture 3.2.2 (recently purchased) for import and manipulation of photos and movies, etc.I am using Aperture on a MacBook Pro OSX 10.6.8.
    However I have been unable to print high quality images on Epson premium glossy, glossy or matt paper on my Epson Stylus Photo RX690.
    High quality prints on screen show perfectly in preview, but all prints come out with good and accurate colours, but a series of vertical lines or bands of lines across the photo print.
    Using the Aperture Manual I have checked my settings in Aperture for the printer, for colour and quality of paper etc and they all seem to be correct.
    The Epson Printer is networked with a Toshiba (Vista) laptop which prints perfect results from Picasa and Photoshop with fine colour and no markings.
    I would appreciate any help please.
    Cam Opie

    Thank you Mark
    I thought I had done all the settings .....but no.
    I now have perfect prints. Easy when you know how!!!
    Cheers

  • Epson Stylus Photo R2400 won't print large pages?

    I recently upgraded to Mac OS X Leopard. I immediately had problems with printing to my Epson Stylus Photo R2400 as a print driver gutenprint had suddenly replace my Epson driver when going thu dialog to print. Called and Epson and they got me thru process of getting rid of the newly replaced gutenprint to an Epson driver. Problem is I can't print anything larger than an 8.5x11 page. The printer set up says and shows me that what I have set as an 11x17 or 13x19 is going to print. But all that prints on this large expensive paper is an area 8.5x8.5. No matter what I change in set up. Epson says they have done all they can do. (And I just found out last week they have replaced this printer with another printer). I have hundreds of dollars in newly purchased inks and I am wasting expensive paper.
    Also I had to remove the patch for OS leopard to get the printer to work in this diminished capacity.
    And my email signature disappeared. Can't get that back either.
    But printer is my biggest problem. Any suggestions how to get this printer to work with this new OS leopard and print large sizes? I have deadlines and hate to outsource the printing when I could easily do it in house.

    Well, you picked the very hardest way to do it, and as time goes on, you will probably discover many other things wrong with your system as well. You CANNOT go back to Tiger from Leopard via an archive and install; you have to wipe the drive and start over from scratch, and then transfer all your data over from a backup and reinstall most, if not all, of your applications so the right elements are in the right places. Even so you'll never get your system exactly back to where it was, unless you had a perfect bootable Tiger backup (via SuperDuper) and merely restored from that. Obviously whatever Leopard element that killed your printing capability is still on your frankenstein system of BOTH Tiger and Leopard parts.
    There are hundreds of posts on the issue of reverting to Tiger from Leopard, many quite detailed. So many things are changed from upgrading from one to the other that what you attempted (unless you completely wiped the drive and all your data) has always proven disastrous, which is why I highly recommended against it after reading hundreds of horror stories here.
    I suggest doing a search at downgrading from Leopard to Tiger, following those instructions if you can, and making the best of it. You'll find that springing the $200 for an external drive would have been a much better and easier solution, because it can come in very handy if you ever need to do any maintenance on your internal hard drive, or if some update or problems kill your internal drive and you can't even boot the system. Not to mention sooner or later always needing more storage capability, and even a drive for reliable backups.
    I would never dream of attempting a downgrade or needing to do it in the first place (having taken precautions as to never have to), so I can't give you any further advice than that.
