FWIW - Over the past 15 years I have had 4 different printers - all of them Epsons. None of them printed perfectly in the center. Doesn't matter what software used to print. Epson print preview shows perfect centering. Always off left to right (Perfectly fine in the direction of the feed) by a very slight - but noticeable amount. Also, on larger prints (12x18 say), skews slights across the length - maybe a couple of mm. Sheet feed or front load, doesn't matter. It's a purely mechanical thing. I usually print borderless or trim prints to size so it has not been a problem for me. On the rare occasions where I need centering, I appropriately adjust the offsets in QU. I realize this is a different printer, but I have just assumed it was normal.

If the skew is always consistent (always off to the right by the same amount for example), you can compensate by changing the page margins in QU. If the paper you are using allows borderless mode, you can do something like get a perfect 1/4 inch border around the entire page. You just have to play with the margins until you compensate for the paper loading not being centered... and turn off the overspray/expansion.
