I am on my second R800 Epson printer (both are Factory Refurbished units)with the exact same problem of the printhead hesitating when it gets to the last 10% of the image. Suddenly the head stops for about 1-2 seconds but the paperfeed continues to move the paper, then the head moves to the other side of the paper & hesitates again, happening 3-5 times before resuming properly for the last several lines. I end up with stripes in about 1/2 inch of the last part of the print.
I am using Elements 5.0 on a Compaq desktop with XP Media Center Edition. The machine has 3 GB of RAM & 2 hard drives, one for photo storage exclusively so there is plenty of memory & storage.
I have tried the printer on my Toshiba laptop with XP Home Edition with the same results. I also tried it on my neighbor’s HP Desktop with the same results AFTER I loaded "Elements 3.0". I emphasize this because I tried his computer & his ArcSoft Photo Impression 4.0 software BEFORE loading elements & the printer worked perfectly fine with no hesitation & no conflicts. I have also tried the printer on a computer with CS2 and have gotten the same exact conflict.
I have been talking to the Epson tech support people & the local service center where I was instructed to bring the first printer. He has never heard of this kind of problem before!
I have not gone to Adobe tech support since this printer is about 3 years on the market & these conflicts should have been resolved by now. I thought someone may have had this problem & solved it by now. Thanks for any suggestions.
