[X4U] Epson Stylus Photo 1290 and Photoshop

[Thomas Noel]

Convert the image to the actual size desired on the print (ie. 8 x 10  
on a 8.5x11 paper) Image>Image Size. Then File>Print with Preview. In  
the print settings dialog DO NOT check (Center Image) or (Scale to  
Fit Media). This then allows you to change the otherwise greyed out  
values in the boxes above to correctly center the image on the  
printed page. I think the problem is the print driver tries to center  
the image in what it believes to be the printable area of the page,  
excluding a larger non-printable area on the bottom. Epson printers  
can print closer to the sides and top than to the bottom.
