Epson 7800 page size issues

Post by Jeffrey »

Hi,
I've just installed Turboprint 2.0 from 1.0. A great improvement.
Now I have two issues with my Epson 7800.
The carriage width is 24 inches.
The limit in the page size dialog is 22 inches.
Why the lower limit? The printer works fine to the edge, or least a fraction of an inch to the edge.
Second, I set a page size for 16 inches. (I was trying to get a 16 inch high print minus a small margin). The page was not cut. How do get the page to cut?

The maximum print size was actually wrong in the driver definition - I include a corrected version. Please copy the file "Epson_StylusPhoto7800.tpp" to /usr/share/turboprint/printers (the fix will also be included in the next release of TurboPrint).

About automatic cutting: The cutter is controlled via the "Feed" settings in TurboPrint Control Center ("Configure" -> "Layout") - use the setting "Rollpaper (cut)".

The paper feed setting is also available in many application programs (e.g. OpenOffice) - please note that the settings in the application programs override the settings in TurboPrint Control.
