Hi Fred,
I reset the printer to its default settings by the panel on the unit.
Can you guess……….working as it should be.
I did the mistake to listen to Epson support rep. who said: it is nothing to do with printer settings.
Thank you for your support!

Kind regards
Atanas

Hi Fred,
I printed the picture with settings you can see by the shots attached.
I have done this before to print the picture.
I have done this as well.
The picture is exactly the same size as it is in the “print queue” – 6.18in.x10in.
Margins are: top - 1.25in. , bottom – 0.39in. , left – 1.18in. , right – 0.51in. on the paper just came off the printer.
I think when “centered” is selected in the driver and in Qimage FPE, the print is moving from top to bottom increasing top margin.
Fred, I am not strictly following this print size. I can shrink it a bit.
Those pictures I am trying to print are for presentation (portfolio). I need them centered with reasonable margins, even all around the picture or at least equal – top/ bottom and left/ right side.
Thank you

Atanas

I printed the picture.
The printable area should have been: 157mm.x254mm. (I will write in metric) and margins: 27mm top/bottom and 22mm on both longer sides. All these according to FPE.
What I get is: margins: 35mm and 28mm on the longer sides. Actual printable area on the wide size was 145mm not 157mm as should have been. I stopped printing when I saw these uneven margins in order to save ink and do not know how long would have been the longer size of the printable area.

Fred,
I do not care much for the size of the printable area as long as margins are even around it. Depend on the aspect ratio of the image margins could be not equal all around it, but should be the same from top to bottom and side to side.
I went to FPE set “print location” – centered. Margins are: 1.04inx0.85inx0.85inx1.04in and printable area is 9.99inX6.18in.
I am sure the sheet of A4 paper is: 210mmx297mm
That is great if I can print it. I will give a go and will report back.
Driver settings are as you already know.

Thank you lads very much for the quick respond.
Fred,
I use only: center
Fred, how I can see those margins and full page editor? When I click the center button, I see nothing.
I have a copy of Qimage Pro 2010/202.
Terry,
I clear margins in "Page formatting"
Everything (settings in Qimage and driver) seems to be fine and "print preview" window shows the picture with nice even margins.
The last one printed shows borders on the long side: 2.9cmX3.5cm. I can  hardly say that is a centered image.
In Qimage (print queue) the picture shows dimension: 10inX6.18in which is fine as I cropped it.

Hello,
I tried to print 10inx8in on an A4 paper, but the picture is off center.
In Qimage I tried custom size – 10inx8in and original, and then scale it down with no success.
Printer driver/ size is set to A4, I tried: user defined and input exact paper dimension with same outcome.
Paper settings in the driver: source/ manual feed/ printable area/ centered

I am running Windows XP 32bit and Epson 4880.

Thank you in advance
Atanas
