Epson Stylus 1280 & Vista printing issues
My wife has an Epson Stylus Photo 1280 printer. We installed the driver from Vista the issue she is having is she cannot go into the printing preferences to change the size (change the margins) it will not allow here. She prints true 12x12's and under Vista it will not allow her to change these setting under XP no problems. I was able to set a user defined 12x12 paper size. It is not listed as an option to print through the Windows Photo Gallery. And I can’t print it through my Memory Mixer software, it wants to change the dimensions and then it only prints a little square right in the middle of the page. Any help on this would be great Thanks Sean -- 01pewterz28 |

Epson Stylus 1280 & Vista printing issues
verify the customsize setting is the same on Vista and XP.
Open the GPD for the printer in notepad (look on the install CD or on XP with the driver installed under \windows\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3) here is the data from the Vista 1280 M driver *Option: CUSTOMSIZE { *rcNameID: =EPN_RCID_USER_DEFINED *MinSize: PAIR(252200, 85000) *MaxSize: PAIR(932600, 9288200) *MaxPrintableWidth: 915800 *MinLeftMargin: 8400 *CenterPrintable?: FALSE *switch: InputBin { *case: RollPaper { *TopMargin: 0 *BottomMargin: 0 *switch: Orientation { *case: PORTRAIT { *CustCursorOriginY: %d{0} } *case: LANDSCAPE_CC270 { *CustCursorOriginY: %d{PhysPaperLength} } } *CustCursorOriginX: %d{8400} *CustPrintableOriginX: %d{8400} *CustPrintableOriginY: %d{0} *CustPrintableSizeX: %d{ min(595200, PhysPaperWidth - 16800) } *CustPrintableSizeY: %d{ PhysPaperLength } } *default: { *TopMargin: 8400 *BottomMargin: 8400 *switch: Orientation { *case: PORTRAIT { *CustCursorOriginY: %d{8400} } *case: LANDSCAPE_CC270 { *CustCursorOriginY: %d{PhysPaperLength - 8400} } } *CustCursorOriginX: %d{8400} *CustPrintableOriginX: %d{8400} *CustPrintableOriginY: %d{8400} *CustPrintableSizeX: %d{ min(595200, PhysPaperWidth - 16800) } *CustPrintableSizeY: %d{ PhysPaperLength - 16800 } } } } } -- Alan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base he http://support.microsoft.com/search/?adv=1 This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

I print from both Vista 32 bit and XP 32 bit systems. |
