Borderless Printing issue on Epson R1900

I'm using the latest Snow Leopard, Aperture and Epson drivers.
This one is driving me nuts. I have some 5x7 paper. The paper size choices include a "5x7 in" option and a "5x7 in (Sheet Feeder - Borderless)" option. In Photoshop, these work as expected - 5x7 has border, 5x7 borderless does not. In Aperture, 5x7 works but Borderless (and, as it appears, and paper with all borders defined as 0) is interpreted by the driver as roll paper and I get an error when printing:
"The Source selected in the printer driver is not appropriate for the paper that is loaded in the printer. To print on a CD/DVD, first remove the paper and then open the front tray. Load the CD/DVD tray into the front tray, then resume printing."
Any advice?

I've actually had this issue on my R1900 way back into 10.5.8 so it's not caused by Snow Leopard (or fixed for that matter). I have been able to get around it but by doing things like opening the ink compartment and resetting ink that I had just inserted or by changing the paper. All kind of random and I haven't found any one thing that avoids the error but it will print. Eventually. Sometimes. I really wish someone would figure out why it is doing this, it has actually been an issue for me since I first got the R1900...

Reg: Continuous Printing issue in EPSON LQ-300+II

Dear All,
I'm facing a continuous cheque printing issue with EPSON printer (LQ-300+II).
We've created a new page format for state bank of Mysore cheque (Dimension 231mm width X 92.5mm Height) and assigned that in our sapscript for printing. The cheque is printed using transactoin F-58.
In windows server properties (print setting), our system admin has created a form with above dimension.
My problem, first & second cheques are printed correctly & identically, but from third cheque the amount is printed slowly starting to print up by 0.5mm. After few cheques it is completing coming out of the box and printing few cms up.
We've tried implementing every possible solutions given in the forum and ended in vain.
1) inserted coding in printer initialization.
2) tried to create similiar page format in windows.
Please sugget a way to get out of this continuous printing issue.
Thanks,
Rajan U

The stated length of the form / paper is in error... that's why the output is "moving" up the page... sound like it should have been 93.0 mm height. I would guess that if you carefully measured the placement on check 1 and 2, you would see precisely how much too short the height is....

Aperture 2.0 / Epson (Multiple Printers) Borderless Printing Issue

Our photography business recently purchased some Nikon D3s. As Aperture 2.0 is necessary to utilize them, we became an early adopter of Aperture 2.0. Immediately after the upgrade, borderless printing became impossible on all of our Epson R2400s and our Epson 3800s.
Through a VERY painful process, we were able to get the R2400s to print borderless 4x6s, but no other sizes. The 3800s are a different story. Not only is it impossible to print borderless, but the printed images are rotated by about 1-2 degrees in the clockwise direction.
It is important to note that no other program (Photoshop, Lightroom, etc.) are experiencing this behavior -- only Aperture and immediately following the 2.0 upgrade.
One oddity that may provide a clue. All combinations of paper, border size, "expand" settings, etc. have been tried. Every time, even the calibration pages printed with a border. On paper, however, allows the calibration page to print to the edge, however, 16-bit printing MUST BE TURNED OFF. Although it prints to the edge, it is still rotated by 1-2 degrees. Turning off 16-bit printing does NOT, however, make any image print correctly -- only the calibration page (and it is not correct).
Apple -- if you are reading this, please respond as quickly as possible. We rely on aperture for our business workflow. It is not practical for us to print every image out of Adobe's suite.

Epson hasn't released a driver for the 1280 since July of 2006. Real simple to check:
http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&oid= 14387&prodoid=28907797&infoType=Downloads&platform=Macintosh
I think that's an Epson problem, not an Aperture problem. Many printer drivers had to be updated for OS X 10.5 Leopard (released in October of 2007). Hopefully one is coming, but that is an older printer, so I wouldn't hold out a lot of hope.
I didn't check for the Kodak, but it should be easy for you to find that info over at Kodak's web site.

Borderless Printing Issues

Don't know if this is the appropriate place to ask this, but I just can't work out how to get a borderless print from Illustrator CS5.5 and my Epson 2100 on Mac OS X 10.7.
I don't print a lot, but now I have a need to do so. When I was using Windows, I didn't have this issue, but on OS X, I'm struggling.
This is what happens.
I have a A3 document with graphics that go edge to edge. I select A3 (Sheet feeder - borderless) in the Media size box, and have tried selecting 'Do not Scale' and 'Fit to Page'. Both give the same results, i.e. borderless printing, but the document doesn't fit on the page - it is being cropped.
If I select A3 (Standard - minimise margins) in the Media size box, and either of the options mentioned before, then I get the whole document, but with a small margin all around the paper.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Thanks.

There are many printers out there that says they are borderless, but all they do is print closer to the edge. I personally believe manufacturos should not be be able to claim borderless, unless they truly are.
Though you have a setting that says borderelss, I would try the 2 suggestions i gave you (the .ppd you have form Epson may not be optimized for Illustrator, as they really program that for the photo quicker. If you want to solve your problem you will have to invest the ink and 2 sheets of paper and find out if your printer can truly print to the edge. Also make sure your paper is inserted properly.
I would call Epson and get their response on the issue, would love to hear their response.

Borderless Printing issues with HP Officejet 4500

I have created a document using Microsoft word 2007 and am having trouble printing this document without borders. I have a HP Officejet 4500 which does support borderless printing. I have gone into properties when getting ready to print and made sure to check the borderless box. I am still left with a small 1/8 inch border around the entire page. I tried the shortcuts and selected brochures with the same results. I also tried changing the settings through word. I went into page set up and made the margins "0.0" on both sides as well as the top and bottom of the page. It still prints with borders. What am I missing???? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Having the same issue. I tried to print boderless from many different programms and with all settings I could choose. I get out a full photo or document after maybe 20 prints. Everytime the printer wants to print at least 2 pages, stops printing after 10-50% and restarts again.
I really would like to hear back from HP.

Missing borderless print option on Epson 2200 since Leopard upgrade

Since upgrading to Leopard, I no longer fine an Epson borderless print option when I go to select printers. I have an Epson 2200 and am using with Photoshop CS. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Are you using the Epson driver, as opposed to the Gutenprint driver? I am using the Epson SP 2200 driver on 10.5.3 and can see and print with the borderless options in Photoshop. In the Print Dialog in the Paper Size menu, I see the following:
US Letter
US Letter (Standard - Minimize Margins)
US Letter (Sheet Feeder - Borderless)
US Letter (Roll Paper)
US Letter (Roll Paper - Borderless)
Hope this helps.

Borderless printing issue

I am attempting to print borderless for postcards. I created the post card in Print Explosion Deluxe 3.0.1.1. I put the page setup to 8 1/2x 11 borderless and I ma printing on a Canon MP460. When I check the preview the image and colors are fine but when I print it the colors are all faded out. if I change to any other document set up the color intensity returns but I end with borders on the outer edges that chop of the outer edges of the post cards. Anyone have some suggestions? I'm not certain why the colors washout in borderless. I even increased the color intensity in color options but still got the same washed out colors.

Hi Nicholaspaint, and a warm welcome to the forums!
On the Border/Chopping off issue, when the Print Dialog comes up, choose Copies & Pages, then Paper handling, look for the boxes... Use Paper size & Fit to Paper Size, use this last one selecting the right size, and uncheck Scale down only

CS5 printer issues with Epson R2400

Upgraded (????) to CS5
Win7-64, Photoshop CS5 - 64 & 32, Epson R2400 (Epson Easy Photo Print v1.51 Drivers)
CS5 will not print multiple copies. Can change it in printer settings, makes no difference.
CS5 will not allow me to change orientation to landscape. Have to go to printer settings. Will not stick. have to change it everytime I want to print the same file.
CS5 will lose the printer. Have to change the printer then change it back. "because the printer does not exist" is the error message. (Not even a complete sentence!)
Printer profile will not stick.
These issues did not occur with CS4.

You need the 6.5dAs drivers from http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?oid=54861&infoType=Downloads
The copies issue is a known problem. Sorry about that. But the other problems are not things we saw when testing with those drivers.

Borderless printing with the Epson R800

I've tried everything I can think of and have been unable to make borderless 4x6 prints. In the printer setup I chose 4x6 boarderless, but it seems to ignore the setting. Any suggestions?
iMac G5 (Intel) Mac OS X (10.4.5)

transco:
Is the printer designation you're using titled something like Sytlus Photo R800(Sheet Feeder-Borderless)? If not then launch the Print Center Utility and located and install that version of the driver. Many of the Epson printers will have two drivers that you should install, one the normal and the other the borderless one.
Then try the following if Father John's doesn't do it. This is essentially the same, maybe just stated a little differently:
Steps for printing 4 x 6 prints from iPhoto:
crop the photo to 4 x 6 beforehand in iPhoto.
in Page Setup select your printer, proper page orientation and 4x6 or 4x6 borderless
click once on the picture you want to print to make sure it's selected.
now click on the Print button in iPhoto.
in the iPhoto print window, select your printer again, select Style = "Standard Prints", Size= 4x6 and click on One photo per page.
click on the Print button.

Printer issue with epson WF 2540

All of a sudden, I'm unable to see print when printing an Adobe PDF or a TextEdit file. I AM able to print from a screen grab.
Yosemite 10.10.3
Apple says it's because Epson has not upgraded a driver for Yosemite. Epson says it's Apple's fault. Or mine since the screen grab software does print. One PDF just printed lines and volumes, no data.
Thanks

Having the same problem with my Epson WF2540. I reset the printer and now it is unable to find it. Says device is not connected. The wifi is working on it but for some reason it can not seem to add the printer.
Really hoping there is a fix for this soon!

Need help with Photoshop CS5.5 Printing issues with Epson R2880

Hi,
I'm experiencing problems printing on photoshop, I already selected center image but the epson printer always print to the upper left hand corner of
the page. And the image is always cropped in a weird way, so eveytime I print the image is not a whole. I made sure I selected the right paper size too.
It used to print okay, this happened a while ago but I don't know how it got fixed evetually, I think was after a complete restore of my OS.
I am sure its nothing to do with the Epson driver, becuas after I export the file from photoshop to PDF it prints fine with either preview or adove acrobat.
Has anyone else experienced such problem?
Thank you!
Shao

Nope, not using the presets, i still cant figure out why it suddenly cant print right!
btw, thnks for the link, its very useful!!

I have an Epson R2400 and I can not find the driver for borderless printing

I have two Epson printers; I added the first, a R200 using the Printer Utility and in the add printer screen it asked me what page setup I wanted. I chose ALL and it gives me the ability to print borderless prints. I then added the R2400 using he Printer Utility but the "page setup" is grayed out and I do not have a borderless print option o this printer.
I have tried deleting the R2400 from the list of printers and adding it again without success.
I am using the drivers that came on the CD-ROM with the printer.
Has anyone had a similar experience with the R2400 borderless print issue and might anyone have an answer?
Thank you.

Hi: Please click on the device in the device manager. Then click on the details tab. Post the top string of characters you see. Those will identify the type and model of the missing device and I can send you the link to the drivers. It is either your AMT driver, TPM driver or IMEI driver. In the meantime, install the chipset driver and reboot if you have not done so already. http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=12454&prodSeriesId=5037900&prodNameId=5037902&swEnvOID=1093&swLang=13&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=vc-88640-1 Paul

Illustrator CS2 Printing Help - Epson R1900

Hi there,
I've been printing to my Epson R1900 with no problems from Illustrator CS2 from my Macbook for a year without a problem. I got a new Macbook, only slightly newer than the last, reinstalled Illustrator, and now my print quality is in the gutter. I've tried to adjust the print settings, which I never had to do before, and it's still very poor. What I am printing are just graphics I've drawn on-screen. No images. In the Output section of Print Presets, I can't adjust anything except Right Reading or Left Reading. Can anyone help? I don't know what changed. All of the printer drivers are the same and are installed. The strokes of lines look pixelated, as does the text. I know I could do "Create Outlines" to sharpen it, but I never had to do that before, and I want to be able to edit the text later.
Hopefully someone can help.
Thank you for your time.
Keli

You upgraded your OS as well and that is what has changed you will not be able to print from the epson R1900 with smooth curved lines or smooth paths.
Simply not possible in the newer OS above 10.5.
This is what you must do, Print from Acrobat or if you wish rasterize the art and print that.
Or save it a psd rasterized and print that from Photoshop.
Or purchase a RIP software.

PDF's not printing to Epson R1900

Posted problem awhile back. PDF would not print to my Epson R1900. Downloaded umpteen different drivers. I am on a G5 Intel Dual Core running OS 10.5.6 or 10.5.7 since yesterday. Adobe very little help, Epson likewise, although I talked to an Epson Tech for about 45 minutes one day.
Decided I had to fix this myself. When in the Print window Click on "Advanced", check mark "Print as Image". This enables printing the PDF.
Adobe has a note about this on their website now.

Thank you!!!
I recently noticed that when using the Gutenberg drivers on my Epson Stylus Photo 380, it was shrinking the pages slightly.
So I decided to update the Epson drivers, and use them instead.
After updating, I could no longer print over my network. It was making my crazy. I tried everything that I could think of.
I saw your post & tried it. Perfect, worked like a charm!
And such a simple solution.
Thank you.
