Hi everyone, With the current 10.6.x driver problems for the 2200, I've been trying to bring my old PowerMac G4 back online to serve as a print.
Man it's embarrassing to have to ask this question. Recent convert from the PC world. I'm using my SP 2200 that worked great on the PC for borderless printing.
I followed the online instructions for installing the driver. It shows up in the print manager and as an option for printing.
When I try to print a photo, there is no borderless option. I've seen articles online saying that it should be an option, but for some reason, I can't find it.
I'm 99% sure I'm using the Epson driver instead of the GIMP driver. When I first tried to install the printer I ended up with the GIMP driver. I uninstalled that driver and tried again. The interface looks different now, so I think it's different. What am I doing wrong? Yes, as the previous poster has said, you have to choose the correct paper type.
There is yet another caveat with 2200 and borderless printing. If you print on glossy or luster paper with Photo Black, you can choose that borderless paper and print without any problems. However, if you have Matte Black loaded in your printer, you CANNOT make borderless prints with Epson driver. To add insult to injury, when you change matte black to photo black, you have to reinstall the printer driver My solution to this is two OS X printers (called 2200M and 2200). I loaded each ink, then created a separate printer for each of the configurations. Click to expand.1280 is hardly similar to a 2200 (sorry, I thought the discussion was still about the 2200). And even if it were - 'similar' does not count here, unfortunately.
The 1280 uses a different driver (you are using the latest Epson driver, correct?). The possible paper sizes are determined by the driver. If Epson's own driver does not do borderless 4x6, my advice would be to try the GIMP-Print drivers built into OS X. While you might get a bit. Different colors, it might be possible to print borderless using these.
