Epson 2200 prints vertical only!

[Laurence_Bartone]

I'm wasting 13x17 watercolor paper trying to print a nice horizontal image. I simply can't get the 2200 to go horizontal. It prints a smaller image across the center of the paper.

I'm on OSX 10.3 and Adobe Photoshop CS.

Any ideas? Oh, I'm running it via usb and have the latest drivers...

thanks

Laurence, I am on a PC so my info may not be applicable, but here goes. You didn't say from what app you are printing. I print from either PSCS or Qimage. Printing from PS (my more common way), I use Print Preview, go to setup and in the driver I choose landscape--you will see the paper orientation change in the preview if you had portrait chosen. You can also go further into the driver and check page layout, make sure that everywhere you have a choice of landscape or portrait, that landscape is chosen. The driver is pretty self evident, so I'm wondering what program you are printing from, if there is a preview, etc. I've printed with the 2200 for several years from a number of apps without any problem as long as I've had all my settings chosen correctly.

I overlooked the fact that you are using PS. I hope you are using Print Preview for your printing as there you are able to see exactly what you will get. You can also work with color management there. I have to assume that if you choose landscape in PP/page setup, that you see this orientation shown in the preview window.

Laurence, make sure you have you're width and height set right. If it's a custom paper size you've set up, set up another one just the opposite and try that one. Sometimes the preview box will appear right but you'll get the middle strip print. I'm not at my home computer so i can't give you the exact info I would like to. Also make sure you've selected the right paper size as the it's easy to be on the default sizes by mistake.
I've been trying to print a near actual sixe of a 4 ft. rattlesnake and have had this same problem plus the curled rollpaper is a pain to get to feed properly. The snake is probably going to kill me by default. Ed

I was reading Ed's post and I do remember some problems with the 2200 drivers and Mac so I'll stay out of this from this point since I'm on a PC *smile*. Hope you resolve this.

Ed gets the snake prize. That seems to have fixed it. Thanks all.
