So that I can print "full bleed on an Epson p50 Photo using CS. I keep getting the damn margins.
Dunno what the Epson p50 Photo is, but on the Epsons that support full bleed printing (usually on a subset of the paper types) you have to check the right boxes in the printer setup box.
On the 2200 I can click ‘help’ in the Epson driver setup and search for ‘borderless’ and it basically spells out the procedure you have to follow. In case you don’t have the option to open Help, here’s what it says …

Borderless — Prints using the entire area of the paper, allowing you to print documents with no margins and to produce “full-bleed” printouts of images.
When Sheet Feeder is selected as the Paper Source setting, this feature prints to all four edges of the paper. When Roll Paper is selected as the Paper Source setting, this feature prints to the right and left edges of the paper. The media available for the Borderless feature varies by printer. See the printer’s Reference Guide for details.
Note:
If your application has margin settings, make sure they are set to zero before printing.
When using this feature with roll paper, you need to use your image-editing software to make the image 4 mm wider than the roll paper. Printing with this feature selected takes longer than for normal printing. When Sheet Feeder is selected as the Paper Source setting, or when Roll Paper is selected as the Paper Source setting and Cut Sheet Mode is selected as the Roll Paper Option, this feature enlarges the image to a size slightly larger than the paper size; therefore, the portion of the image that extends beyond the edges of the paper will not be printed.
Print quality may decline or ink may smear in the top and bottom areas of the printout when printing on media other than that designated in the printer’s Reference Guide. It is recommended that you print a single sheet to check quality before printing large jobs.
