Win xp pro. Photoshop cs. 1GB ram Loads of disk space, and scratch disk space. I am trying to print out a panorama 114cm long by 32cm wide on an epson 1290 printer. If I select a paper length greater than 105cm the ‘Print with preview box will not display. If I select the ‘print with preview ‘ box first and the select a paper size greater than 105cm in the printer driver then the ‘print with preview’ box fails to show the full image and sometimes an error message appears.
All images have to be downsized to a paper size of 105cm. I have posted a question to Epson as well, but since I have tried to print from Paintshop 7 and here the preview box shows the image the correct size on the paper selected. Could this be a problem with Photoshop?

I’ve just put 13500 into the height box for Defined paper size on the Epson Printer Driver for the 1290 and it accepts that okay. I have CS 768mg ram & XP Pro.
There seems to be a width limit on the Defined paper driver that is much small than height 3290 as opposed to 32767 – have you turned the image into portrait and tried it that way?

I have solved the problem ,though I don’t know why.
I have just upgraded the processor on my mobo to a Pentium P4 3.06 hyperthreading one and upgraded the bios. Now everthing works as it should.

The 1280 (1290 in Europe?) has a maximum print length of 44 inches. My converter program shows that to be 111.76 CM. It looks like your picture is a little over the printer’s capacity. As to just why it was reduced further in the driver… It could be the required margins for the paper length (single sheet rather than roll?) your using. I haven’t used a 1280/90 or paper that long so I can’t offer any advice other than to reduce the image length under the limit and see what happens.

I have had the same problem with WindowsXPhome and Epson 1290.

Solution: when you’ve finished editing the photo, convert it into a TIFF file. Then open the file in Paint and print from Paint – choose File – Page Setup – (Scaling)Fit to 1 by 1 page and set the page dimensions you want. This has worked for me with panoramas up to 100 inches long.
I also choose, in the Epson dialogue, ‘print direct to printer’ and deselect the ‘enable advanced printing’ option.

I find the margins print wider than I’ve specified in Paint’s Page Setup, so have taken to setting them to 1-3mm.

I asked Epson for advice months ago, but they were no help.

Good luck,
