Epson SP1400 Borderless Printing No More with 10.6

Before upgrading to Snow Leopard, I had no problem printing borderless up to Super B (13" X 19") in LR 2 all margins set to zero. Once I upgraded, I can no longer print borderless on anything other than 4" X 6". There is now an 1/8" border around all prints larger than 4X6, again borders set to zero, paper size checked. I even tried zoom to fill function to no avail. Now if I could set negative margins, I probably could solve the problem ;-). For what it is worth, I experience the same problem printing from CS4.
So, even though there are no margins showing in LR Print module preview mode, I still get borders. Is this a new "feature"?
Any thoughts or comments are greatly appreciated.

Thank you both for quick replies. I think there is a print driver issue. My LR2 Print presets are the same as before the 10.6 upgrade and using the same paper as before. B4 the upgrade I was printing borderless on 13" x 19", 8" X 10", and 8.5" X 11" with no problems. Since the upgrade, the prints now come out with a border even thought all LR and print settings indicated borderless and the paper is designed for borderless.
Not sure what to do. I am going to try tech support's direct line and hope they can assist.
Thank you again for your comments.

Borderless printing in Tiger with Epson

This has been a nightmare all along. Can anybody tell me how to print borderless with an Epson Stylus Photo RX500 on 4 x 6 inch? In addition to this it seems impossible to print borderless on 5 x 7 inch?
I removed my virtual second borderless printer and now I don't see how to put a new one back.
I am using iPhoto 6 by the way.
In printer utility 'Epson' shows 'gimp print v 5.0 beta 2. What is that about? I've never seen it before. Does this new driver change the way to add a borderless printer?
Many thanks for all your suggestions!

Upgraded and lost Epson R200 Borderless printer option

I just upgraded to Tiger on my eMac, and was sailing through everything until I went to print an 8x10 borderless print on my Epson R200. The "sheet-fed_ borderless printer option I used to have was no longer available in any of my apps. I went to print utility to try to add it again and couldn't find it in any list of options, even trying to add it to the list!
Anyone else had this happen or does anyone know what's going on here?
Thanks,
Barry

My wife can print to my shared printers from her Win XP box borderless all day long, but my new "worlds most advanced operating system equipped dual 2.7 ghz Mac workstation and my G5 iMac can't print a simple borderless photo to save their lives. Epson r200 and a 2200, gimp and epson drivers. So far the only way I have gotten a borderless print is with a demo of $199 PowerRip software (with a big watermark). This function should be included in Tiger, what is going on. Lets all get on Apples case. Ask them why "it just works" on Windows and not on Mac. (little frustrated...)

Epson E-Web Print toolbar works with IE but not Firefox 28 on Windows 8 PC

Seems like the Epson E-Web Print toolbar stopped working after the update for Firefox 27. Switched to Internet Explorer and the toolbar works fine.

This from Epson's support site isn't very promising:
<blockquote>Q: EPSON E-Web Print does not work since I upgraded to Windows 8.1. Why does this happen? 
A: '''EPSON E-Web Print is no longer supported by Epson.'''

Can't print to shared printer any more with Tiger

Hello,
I upgraded to Tiger from Panther on a powerbook 12". My printers (hp 1700cp and hp 920c) are linked to my G5 dual 2ghz by USB, and shared in the sharing panel. I network the two together by ethernet (via a Farallon Netline broadband gateway router/hub).
Since moving to Tiger on the powerbook, when I press the "print" button in the print dialog for any program, notheing happens. Same when I press the "pdf" button in the same dialog.
If I link the printers directly to the powerbook using a USB cable, it prints fine.
I upgraded to Tiger using the archive and upgrade option. I'd like to do a straight re-load of Tiger from the disks, but as I have since upgraded to 10,4,3 via software update I don't have that option any more.
Can anyone help ?
Thanks.

Hi, I'm having a similar problem.
I print to an ancient networked LaserJet at work using LAN. I am not able to do it wirelessly. This arrangement has been working flawlessly. Over the weekend, I did an Archive and (re)Install of Tiger in an attempt to resolve a trackpad issue. Since then, my PowerBook has forgotten all of my printers, which is not a big deal, but the PB only sees the LJ intermittently. For example, Tuesday and Wednesday it worked fine, except each day I had to re-add the printer when I started up in the morning. Thursday, I was unable to see the printer at all, even after fiddling with IP addresses and all that. Today, the printer showed up and I printed a test mail message, but when I went to print an attachment, the LJ was gone.
I have installed all the software updates available through 1/5/06. Why does it come and go? How can I get it to automatically be there? Oy!
Thanks,
Brooke

Lightroom 2.6 Problem Printing Borderless Prints on Epson R800

I have used Lightroom to print borderless prints (using the paper setting - borderless -sheet feeder) and all has worked fine until I downloaded the new Apple Epson driver. I found this new Apple driver did not work well as the colours were washed out. So, I went back to the current Epson driver for Snow Leopard (OSX 10.6.2) and I can print again. (The prints are now a bit dark but that can be addressed).
However, I now find I cannot print borderless prints (i.e. with no white edge) via Lightroom 2.6 using the current Epson driver and paper setting of borderless sheet feeder. The printer responds with "media not loaded correctly". When I go to Photoshop CS4 or iPhoto, I can print borderless prints. So, something is going on in Lightroom.
Any suggestions? Except of course to print borderless prints from Photoshop.

Sam,
I am still working on a similar problem with one of my Epson printers. The newer Epson R280 (may be R290 outside the US) works just fine with borderless. The older SP 2200 does not. I have been in communication with Epson, but not yet resolved. For most printers the newest software referenced for Leopard is with EasyPrint, but with this old 2200 the driver referenced is still not nearly as recently released as the EasyPrint frame work. The reply I got back from Epson was not satisfactory because it ignored the fact I am connected to my 2200 via Firewire and not USB, and all reference in the reply was to USB connection. Despite doubting the usefulness of the reply, I will have to move my 2200 much closer to the computer to try connecting with USB, and I simply have not tried it, since I doubt it will help.
My issues with borderless on the SP 2200 are also present when printing borderless from Photoshop CS3 and from Pages. Thus it seems more a problem with Leopard than with Aperture.
Sorry to not be more helpful or hopeful, but I think drivers for some printers are not fully tuned to printing in Leopard.

Epson r800 dvd print problems

I've got an Epson Photo R800 printer connected to my imac G5 running on Mac OS 10.3.5. I did loads of research before choosing this printer, and made sure I had the system requirements Epson ask for by checking the Epson and Apple sites. Epson claim this printer will work with OS 10.1.3 and above.
I've run Tech Tools on my computer just to check that it's a happy bunny, and it passed all tests with no problems.
The printer prints photos beautifully, I couldn't be happier with it, but it won't print on CD/DVDs, which is one of the main reasons I bought it.
When I try to print on DVD using the Epson Print CD software bundled with the printer, I get the error message ' Epson printer driver dealing with CD printing is not installed'.
I uninstalled the printer drivers and re-installed them from the original discs, but still got the same problem. I downloaded the print cd software from the Epson site and installed it, but still got the same problem.
I contacted Epson 5 times about this: first, they advised me to take the steps I already had.
Then they showed me the manual print 'work around' which involved ignoring the error message, and this looked hopeful with the printer beginning to make whirring noises, but then another error message comes up saying that the output tray is in the wrong position, which, trust me, it isn't.
Then Epson promised to send me discs which they claimed would solve the problem. When they didn't send anything, I rang again and they sent a disc, but it was for Windows and for a completely different printer.
Then I got mad, because all this had taken 2 months, and I'd lost work because of it. So I rang again (it took an hour and a half to get to speak to someone), and asked to speak to the manager, who sent me the correct disc, of a updated version of Print CD. I installed it, it didn't solve the problem.
Now Epson are saying that I have to upgrade my OS, which, as everything is working fine apart from this, I am loathe to do. I've got Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio Pro and After Effects on there and everything is ticking along fine - I work with Macs and have had bumper problems trying to get these versions of this software to work with a newer OS there, so I'm not keen to muck about with things at home when I'm happy with everything as it is. Also, when the printer's advertised as working with 10.1.3 and above, why should I?!
Has anyone else had problems with an R800 and mac os 10.3.5? Any ideas? This is such a drag, and I fear that if I have to speak to Epson one more time, I may trash the telephone in frustration.

I have tried everything I can think of! Updated to 10.6.3v 1.1, reset printing, searched the forums, prayed, and have just about given up. As posted previously, my other imac that i did not update to 10.6.3 prints fine.
I appreciate all the tips I have received but does anyone else have suggestions? What should I do next? Is this unresolvable? Purchase a new printer??

J4540 "Borderless Printing Error"

I'm attempting to print a booklet, side-fold brochure. My paper size setting is Borderless 8.5X11. I've printed this brochure many times before using the exact same settings with no problems. However, when I tried to print today, I had only a black ink cartridge installed; I got an error message reading "Borderless Printing Error: Borderless printing cannot occur with only the Black Ink Cartridge installed. To print a Borderless Photo, install either a tri-color print cartridge, or a photo print cartridge."
Even though the brochure I'm printing is black & white (and it was set on "print in grayscale"), I did have a new Officejet 901 Tri-Color Ink Cartridge handy. So I installed it and received a message that the new cartridge had been detected. Then I scanned the sheet to align cartridges. The printer said something like "Installation successful". However, everytime I try to print this brochure page, I still get the same error message: "Borderless Printing Error: Borderless printing cannot occur with only the Black Ink Cartridge installed. To print a Borderless Photo, install either a tri-color print cartridge, or a photo print cartridge."
I tried re-starting, unplugging, etc., but I can't get it to print -- even though I'm using the same settings I have before. I went online and tried printing a couple of color pages and it printed them out just fine -- so the color cartridge is working. Not sure why I keep getting this message.
I'm no expert on this stuff, and any help/advice would be appreciated. Thanks a bunch,
Jason

I wish I could help you, and I'm unhappy to see that you put this message up in April and have no response yet.
I too get this "cannot print" message - not that the cartridge is missing, but that I cannot do borderless printing with ONLY the black cartridge. I have the color cartridge installed, I've done prints of the same pages before, and I cannot seem to get the printer (HP Photosmart C4780 wireless) printer to work when that message comes up. I'd love to get some help from HP.
     Some things I've tried. On my iMac I shut down all applications that are not necessary, and relaunch my finder. I think that clears out its brain a little. Then I'll try to print again (It just worked - same exact page).
     Also, sometimes I open the HP Utility and ask it to print a test page. That also seems to clear it's brain. After that it worked also.
    I think there's a sometimes "glitch" in the program. Cleaning things out as much as possible, and starting over again seem to help. GOOD LUCK!

Difficulty Printing Borderless Prints with Epson C84

When I had an iMac G3 with OS 9.2 and used the Epson menu for printing, I had no difficulty printing 4x6 inch borderless prints (since that is one of the options on the Epson Menu). But now that I am forced to use the OS 10 printing menu, even when I identify the printer as an Epson C84, crop the photos to fit a 4x6 page and show "0" margins on all sides when selecting 4x6 as paper size, using either iPhoto or Photoshop Elements 3.0, the prints come out with a small white border on all four sides. The Apple Menu with Epson as the chosen printer does not give me an option that says "4 x 6 borderless" when choosing the paper size. Is there something I need to set differently in order to get borderless prints?
hk Jones

I also had a problem finding the "Borderless" option in the print dialogue. Here's what Epson Support told me to do -- It worked perfectly. I can now print borderless from either of the two macs sharing my Epson 1280.

Borderless Printing Does Not Work With Epson Printer!!!!!!!!

I have never gotten Aperture to print correctly borderless on Epson. I have an RX580 all-in-one. I set aperture up correctly in the print setup, I have tried everything and it always has a white strip on one side. I am getting fed up - any help would be appreciated. I am tired of exporting my images and then opening up in Photoshop to print - what a pain.

I've gotten it to print to my Epson RX700 very reliably. There are several things to be aware of. First, when selecting the printer settings, make sure the paper selection is correct. If you choose matte instead of glossy premium, for example, the print will be off-center. Next, make sure the size of the paper is set correctly in the printer settings, e.g. 4x6 borderless. Once you've finished setting up the printer, in the print dialog, also make sure you have the right paper size set up (why do we need to do this in two places?) and make sure it's configured to print on the whole page, not the whole photo. Finally, there's a slider that controls the border all around the photo. Slide it all the way left until it's at zero. That should get you a nice borderless print.
Oh, one other thing, always double-check the printer settings before making your first print. After shutting down Aperture, the next time it seems to forget my last settings. Subsequent prints should print out properly without changing settings again.
I've never needed to use the calibrate button. If you make sure the paper type and size are set properly in print settings as well as in the print dialog, and borders are at zero, you should be set to go.

Help! Where Did My Printing Options Go With My Epson R800?

For some reason, I've lost the Format Settings from my Epson R800 printer (USB) when I open Page Setup. Typically you should get options for "Manual", "Roll Paper-Borderless Banner" and several others in Page Setup. This all started when I did a "Reset Printing System" in Printer Setup Utility. This deleted all the options from my Library>Printers folder. I have copied the folder contents back from a backup with no success. I've also trashed the contents of the Epson folder in the root Library>Printers>Epson folder and the EpsonPrinterDriver.pkg in the Receipts folder, and reinstalled the Epson Printer Software from my Tiger Installation Disk. Repaired permissions, ran a repair on both Disk Utility and DiskWarrior. The right contents appear to be in the appropriate folders, but when I used Printer Setup the only driver that comes up is the generic "Epson SP R800." Clicking More Printers just says that it is unable to turn Apple Talk on - I'm not using it. This has to be a software problem, because I everything works as it should when I start up using an older backup disk. This is driving me nuts! My primary use for the printer is with roll paper, and now I can't access that feature. Does anyone have a fix or suggestion for this problem? Thanks.

Greg, I'm an idiot! Turns out the Print Browser had somehow reset itself to Apple Talk. Clicking More Printers was then giving me the can't turn on Apple Talk message. When I clicked on Print Browser popup there was the Epson USB just as you said it should be. Selecting this put me in business. So simple, and I feel so stupid. Sorry for the bother. Anyway, thanks for the help - much appreciated.

Cannot make borderless prints on Epson

I am having real difficulty printing borderless prints from my iMac to my Epson Stylus Photo R390 (not sure if this model was released in the USA).
My main problem is that two edges have approx. 3mm of white space.
This is despite multiple attempts at calibrating the paper alignment from within Aperture's print settings.
I have installed the latest Drivers from Epson website.
I am using Aperture 2.1.
Can anyone help me - I am sick of wasting paper and ink?

How Do I BORDERLESS PRINT on Epson RX500 in 10.4.7?

Hello,
When I set up my Epson RX500 All-In-One printer/scanner I was using 10.3 Panther.
The Print Setup Utility looked just like it does in the setup guide that comes with the unit.
I never used Borderless Printing but in the "Printer List" it showed Stylus Photo RX500 and Stylus Photo RX500(Sheet Feeder - Borderless).
Now a year later (after upgrading to 10.4.7) I want to do some borderless printing with 4x6 and 5x7 photo paper but the "Stylus Photo RX500(Sheet Feeder - Borderless)" listing is not there anymore.
Also the Printer Setup Utility has changed. The screens aren't like they were in 10.3 (where I select EPSON USB from a pull-down menu, etc).
I went to the Epson Website to download new drivers but they only have
TWAIN Driver and EPSON Scan Utility v2.65A for Macintosh OS X (v10.2.x - 10.3.x)
OR
Printer Driver v3.0aAs for Intel-based Macs with OS X (v10.4.4 or later). There isn't one for PowerPC 10.4.
I CAN print a supposed 4x6 borderless print using Page Setup and "4x6 Borderless" setting for Paper Size but it doesn't come out borderless -- it has borders. There is a 5x7 setting but it doesn't say borderless.
Any help with this problem? I really would like to see the "Sheet Feeder - Borderless" in my Printer List again and do some true bordeless printing!
Thanks!!
PowerMac FW800 (G4), iMac G4 800 SuperDrive Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Thank you so much that was a big help.
After you do that, though, you have to click on the Page Setup drop down menu and select Borderless Sheet Feeder instead of Standard from the list -- that's the part I wasn't doing. It defaults to "Standard", whatever that is, and doesn't make the Borderless Printing available if you don't change it.
After that, though, I couldn't get the border even when I wanted one (which I do sometimes) using the RX500 regular setting (NOT borderless) -- it's makes about a 1/10" border instead of a 1/2" one.
FWIW I found that if you then delete Borderless Sheet Feeder (that I tried so hard to get!) from the Printer List and re-start the computer you will then have true border printing again! Re-install Borderless driver to get true borderless again (ugh). I guess I'll have to do that because sometimes I want borderless and other times I don't.
Thanks!!

Printer driver in Safari not compatible with Epson Artisan 730 printer

After being on the phone with Epson for 3 days, it seems as though Safari/Firefox/iMac is missing a driver for my Epson Artisan 730 printer. Does anyone know how to rectify this? The printer is brand new, operating with Lion and prints out gibberish, 30 pages at a time. Help!

First some people have had problems getting the printer drivers to update via software update, make sure you have the correct drivers as shown in this table.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3669
To see what driver you have go to System Preferences > Print and Scan > into the printer utility and under the general tab you'll see the driver version.
To force an update delete the old driver
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15947486#15947486
I just resolved a problem with our Epson Artisan 730 and print quality, turns out the USB drivers and WIFI drivers are VERY different and the USB drivers offer much better quality, more options in the print dialog for quality and color management.
If you already have the correct version of the drivers maybe a mac connected to the printer via USB can share the printer and then you can print with the USB driver. I know that's a pain since that's what we did before we got the 730 with WIFI.
