I’m using CS3 and the Epson Pro 4800. Printing a 6X9" landscape image on letter paper, the image is shifted 1/8" both vertically and horizontally, despite having selected the center image box. What’s wrong?

In the printer driver, there should be a way to "minimize margins" or "maximize print area" — something like that. In other words, you want to make your margins as small as the printer will allow.

CS2/Windows used to force margins to minimum, but CS3 goes with whatever the printer driver sets. Epson printers usually have one margin bigger than the other, so the "Center Print" option centers on that margin mismatch.

These suggestions do not work. I’ve had to reinstall CS in order to print. After reading that blog, I find that what Adobe has done is outrageous.
