I've just tried to make my first Epson 2200 print from CS and my results are different from what I was getting printing from 7.0. I'm having margin/centering problems.

Here are the details:

My file is 12x18" and I'm printing on 13x19" paper -- this will yield a 1/2" border all around.

I press Ctrl+Alt+P to bring up the Print with Preview dialog. Under Position, Center Image is checked. Scaled Print Size shows 100% and Scale to fit media is unchecked. My profile, intent and black point are set just as they always were (this is not a color issue).

I click Print, then Properties for the 2200. I set the paper size and orientation. On the Page Layout tab, I click Centered. Click OK, then another OK.

In 7.0, this worked perfectly. Now, for some reason, with CS this isn't working correctly. My margin on the top is slightly too big, and the entire image is not printing. I'm getting an error in the Epson driver dialog saying the paper wasn't loaded correctly.

I've tried both portrait and landscape. I also did a test with 8.5x11 paper and an image 7.5x10. Same problem. I've also tried not using the Center Image checkbox on the Print with Preview dialog and that doesn't help.

If I check the Minimize Margins option in the Epson driver, then my image will print correctly. In 7.0, I did not have to check the Minimize Margins option for the image to print correctly.

Has anyone else run into this? Am I doing something wrong here? Did CS change how it handles margins and centering? (I have not changed Epson drivers since installing CS.) I guess I can simply check the Minimize Margins option each time I print (or save it along with my other customized settings), but I'd like to hear from others if this issue is new to everyone, or just me.

Thanks for any help here.
