Printing to large paper on epson printer

I am trying to print a document from Illustrator. The document size is 13" x 19".
When I load Super A3 paper (13x19) into my Epson printer the printer starts and begins to print but stops about 4 inches down the paper and then ejects the whole sheet (with the remainder of the image not being printed). The epson monitor shows that the document is still processing after the partly printed sheet is ejected. The quality of the partly printed sheet is fine.
I set up print dialogue box from illustrator to the sheet size that I am putting in. Ive tried 3-4 times with the same result.
I am on a MAC OSX 10.5.8
I seem to have no problems with printing to other standard sheet sizes.
Any thoughts??

There are a couple of things you can try; 1.) see if you have enough system memory to process the page ( it could be running out of system memory ); 2.) set an invisible holding line to the page / document and lock it ( no stroke, no fill @ 13 x 19 ); 3.) Use the Page tool ( if you haven't already ) and set it to the document, edge-to-edge. Also, check you ink supplies, there may be an empty cartridge preventing you from printing the entire file. Hope this helps.

When I print a photo to my epson printer, it comes out larger than the original photo - so the photo prints beyond the borders. Tried readjusting all sorts of things but nothing helps. I had this same problem with my Canon. any ideas?

Does it print correctly on plain paper?
What do you do differently to print on Photo Paper than to print on plain paper?
iPhoto has no idea of what paper is being printed - that is totally a function of the printer and the print driver supplied with the printer - you need to look at the printer specific options and your printer manual and/or support forums

How?print report on A3 paper to epson printer

HI,
Now I am using Report Builder 6.0.5.35.0. to write report to print to printer epson LQ2080 for A3 paper size 16.5 x 8.3 inch with fond size 15. But it keep printing in fond size 10 with maximum 80 character per line. The remaining sentence will come down as 2nd line.
I do the following but it does not work.
1. In Data Model-System Parameter- Mode -Property Pallet-Initial Velue='Character".
2. In Layout Model- Header Section-Property Pallet. Under section head,the Width=16,height=8.Under Character Mode,the report width=210,height=66.
3. In layout Model-Main section % trailer section - the setting is same as No.2
4. In Data Model- system parameter-Desformat.
I put in initial value=wide255. Where this printer control file contains:
printer "wide255"
height 66
width 210
before report esc "g"
after page control(L)
return control(M)
linefeed control(J)
5. esc"g" is epson print control code for fond size 15.
Can someone share with me what goes wrong?

A few ideas \ suggestions:
1) Make sure you are using FP 3.3 runtime:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100016807202010E/cr2008fp33_redist.zip
2) Try a simple win app - use saved data report (crystalreportviewer1.reportsource = <path to saved data report>). Does this print correctly?
3) What print mode are you using; PDF or ActiveX?
4) Try export to RPT and PDF from your web app. Does it export correctly?

Prints to large paper (Super B, 11x17) aren't formatted properly

I have been struggling with a problem related to printing Super B and 11 x 17 sized paper. Using a PDF document with dimensions of 10x18, my print jobs always come off the printer as though the paper stock is 8.5 x 11". I have tried printing from Acrobat, Photoshop, Preview and the output is the same: the full sized image cropped to 8.5 x 11. The rest of the paper is left blank. To save paper I've been troubleshooting by printing to a PostScript file in the print dialog. The resulting PS file, opened in Preview, is an 8.5 x 11 document with only that same portion of my image printed on it.
I have tried changing the page setup window numerous times, telling it to format for "Any Printer", my own Epson R1800, and Acrobat versions 7 through 9. In Page Setup I have tried numerous page sizes, including defining a custom page size as well. No effect. The only clue I have to this is if I define the page setup as "Tabloid" then the print job will go to the printer formatted for an 11x17 page. This is a workaround for that size but is no help with Super B.
I believe this to be an Operating System issue because it persists with an Apple-only workflow: open PDF in Preview, set page size to Super B in the print dialog, and tell it to output a PostScript file. The file is formatted to 8.5x11. Is this somehow due to a setting in the Print Driver that I'm missing? If so, can I create a generic print driver that is not married to the Letter paper size? Thanks in advance!!

Have you tried uninstalling the driver, repairing the disk permissions, then reinstalling the driver?
If that doesn't work, Here is what I did when I had problems with custom page sizes on my R1800. After changing the size in Page Setup (which you have done you said), I hit Print. When the first print menu comes up I make sure "Scale to Media" is unchecked, then I hit "Print". When the second print menu comes up I choose "Paper Handling" under the drop down menu. I check "Scale to fit paper size" and "Scale down only" then I select the paper size I want to use. After doing that, it seemed to print the way I wanted to. I mainly ran into this problem when trying to use 13X19 paper.
Hopefully this works for you.

Problems printing to large paper size

Hi,
Using Acrobat 9
In my work, I use different programs for floorplans and renderings. I send to my Customers the documents as PDF file , and usually the scaled floorplans are in large paper size (22x34 or up)
With one of the CAD programs, all works fine with paper size up to size C, but if I choose, for example, Ansi D, I see a screen "Creating Adobe PDF" but nothing happens, the bar doesn't move and the file is not printed / saved
I'd appreciate any idea to solve this issue
TIA

There are a couple of things you can try; 1.) see if you have enough system memory to process the page ( it could be running out of system memory ); 2.) set an invisible holding line to the page / document and lock it ( no stroke, no fill @ 13 x 19 ); 3.) Use the Page tool ( if you haven't already ) and set it to the document, edge-to-edge. Also, check you ink supplies, there may be an empty cartridge preventing you from printing the entire file. Hope this helps.

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.

Problem with Printer Utility Setup when installing Epson printer

Hi everyone,
Hope some kind soul here can help me out on this.
I bought a Epson Stylus CX7300 All-in-one printer yesterday and am having difficulty installing the printer driver onto my eMac running on OSX 10.3.9.
I followed the procedure on the Epson installation disc and even called up their customer support office and went through step-by-step guides to troublesome the cause. Even downloaded the latest driver from the Epson site, and installed it, but every time I open up a document and tries to print, the following would occur:
1. When I click "PRINT", a pop-up will appear, and under the printer field, it will be indicated as "NO PRINTER SELECTED"
2. I would then select "EDIT PRINTER LIST" from the printer field - after which another pop-up will appear saying "You have no printers available. Would you like to add your list of printers now?"
3. When I click "ADD", an error pop-up will appear saying "The application Printer Setup Utility has unexpectedly quit. The system and other applications have not been affected. Would you like to submit a bug report to Apple?"
I have submitted tonnes of "bug reports" to Apple since yesterday but nothing happened.
I also tried to open Printer Utility Setup directly from under System/Applications/Utilities, but the same error will appear and it will just quit "unexpectedly".
Is there any remedy to this?
Oh, the strange thing is, the CX7300 can scan images fine, and I also managed to do a test print from Epson's utility.
Thank you.
Yours Sincerely,
Alvinology

Hi, I was just about to post the same question myself. I'm trying to sort out a friends iMac G5 with a Canon Pixma(?) printer. In this case the printer used to work OK, but after moving house and setting it up again, Print Utility crashes every time when trying to add the printer.
Thanks

I am trying to print on filofax paper but wont print on HP deskjet 3070A

The guides only allow paper to be placed in the middle of paper selection, and only half of the printing comes out, half of the page is blank. Its also very difficult to retrieve the shorter paper because the aperture where the paper is inserted is very narrow. The pages for the filofax have to be turned over and printed on both sides.

Hi Nontech,
I am not sure I understand exactly what you are doing; I will try and help. I am a user, not an HP tech.
The manual suggests that you can adjust the side guides in the printer to accomodate paper sizes. That said, there is nothing to be done about the tiny opening - the paper is supposed to be ejected when the print is completed.
The thickness of the paper used is very important. I have discovered this the hard way myself. Your printer won't have a selection for filofax paper; it should have a selection for something that perhaps you can pick that is as close to the same thickness as is possible.
Deskjet 3070A B611 User Guide
See the section in the manual on "Recommended Papers for Printing" for a general description.
Using your printing Preferences for your printer, select the paper according to what is closest to the thickness of your "filofax" paper. (EXAMPLE: Control Panel > icon view > Devices and Printers > highlight your printer > right-click > Preferences > Paper > Media)
If you can more closely match the actual thickness of the paper being printed, you might get a print of the whole sheet without it stopping half-way through the process: The completed print might then feed all the way out of the printer as it should.
Good Luck!
Kind Regards,
Dragon-Fur

Printing problems after installing the Epson Printer Driver 2.16

Has anyone experienced any problems after installing the Epson Printer Driver 2.16 through Software Update? I am having problems printing. It denotes an error message, specifically the rastertoescpii.app isn't working?

Oops, wanted everyone to know that the driver that Software Update downloaded and installed was 2.18, not 2.16 (which was the last one that worked for me). I just got done downloading the 2.18 driver directly from the Apple support website and installing it. Guess what? My printer is now working and everything is fine. If you are having issues, I suggest this route. Guess I solved my own problem, but hope this helps someone else.

Problem to print pdf-based forms using Epson printer

Hello,
I need print pdf-based forms using an EPSON FX 2190 printer.
In The sap note 685571 I read that can print PDF-based forms on all printers installed in the SAP system as long as the relevant XDC file exists.
I do not found XDC file to EPSON device type, a Epson fx 2190 do not support postscript.
Can I use this printer to pdf-based forms?
I need that spool request (pdf) have a output immediately on EPSON printer.
thanks in advanced for your cooperation to solve it.
Osmany

I don't think Epson has developed an XDC for ESC/P language. That would be very difficult/long to develop an XDC from scratch. Best solution is to install a new printer. Otherwise you may either use a Printer Description Language converter (PS to ESC/P, or other ones), it probably exists, or call acrord32 in print mode on a Windows frontend or server.

Can't print web sites with the epson printer just installed. It wants to print with the old HP printer

I just installed a new printer, an Epson Stylus NX 420. The old printer is A HP photosmart 4580. I can not print with the new printer. If I want to print an e-mail it keep referring to the old printer.Same thing with an article of the web. I am able to print when I use the internet explorer browser.Please tell me what to do to make this work. Thanks

Tech guy is probably correct. We don't usually see reports about trouble with Epson printers, but ID is not the best behaved application when it comes to printing. The usual workaround is to export to PDF and print that instead.

Prints too small on HP Inkjet 2800, prints too large on Adobe PDF Printer

I have been having this problem with all Macs in my network:
Whenever I need to print anything on my HP Inket 2800 printer, from either InDesign or Illutrator, it will print really small, even though "fit to page" is unchecked, size is at 100% and page sizes are correctly chosen. It will even ignore the Position settings (if I choose centered, it will print on upper left). If I export the PDF it shows fine and I can print perfectly through Acrobat.
If I choose to print over Adobe PDF, I get the opposite: InDesign will enlarge everything a lot and maintain the paper size for some reason. This way, I can't use Print Booklet to generate PDF files.
I have tried reinstalling the HP printer drivers, without success.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

Just got off the phone with Adobe and found a cure.
Open print dialog box.
Go to Set up
the paper size: scroll to top and select defined by driver.
It worked for both the HP 8150 and Xerox Phaser 7700
I'm running CS3 on Mac Intel G5 OS X 10.5.5.

Problems printing from PS with an Epson printer in Win2K

There are many folk who are suffering from severe printing problems using the Epson 1270/2000P/870 USB printers.
Symptoms may vary.
The solution was obtained by Bo Wannerberg who posted the solution in the Adobe Photoshop:Windows forum which is as
follows:
The problem you have highlighted with the error "disk error -36 in Photoshop on Windows 2000 running USB on Stylus
products can be resolved in the Windows 2000 printer properties. If you go into the printer properties and select the
Advanced tab. Down in the bottom right hand corner is an option called "Enable advanced printing features". You need
to disable this function and the printer will run correctly

You should also set the Photoshop memory usage to 30% to work around other Win2K problems, until Adobe can release a patch.

When I try to print a test page The printer feeds the paper through the printer without printing

My printer is set up and Windows XP Home SP3 recognizes it. I have checked the Device Manager to see if I had any conflicts.
I didn't so I opened the print spooler and typed Test in Windows Notebook and hit print. It showed up in the print spooler but
the printer located the edge of the page then fed the paper through. I uninstalled the printer and Printer driver and also the software. After I rebooted Windows found the printer and let me load the drivers and I printed a test page afterward and it printed fine. But then it went back to just feeding the paper through.
I have the latest windows installer version 4.5 running. All of Windows updates are up to date. I'm lost can anyone Help me
