Help, please. I am sure there is a simple solution to this problem, but I can't find it. I'm running photoshop 7 on a Mac G-4 with OS 10.2, printing to an Epson C-80 printer. I want to print a JPG photo on a 4x6 inch card. I have set image size and canvas size correctly, and have a custom size 4x6 inch paper size set in Page Setup. However, when I try to print, the ink doesn't even hit the card. When I try to print with the same setup on 8.5 x 11 paper, just to see what is going on, it prints fine, BUT the photo comes out in the lower left corner of the paper, whereas since the printer is set for 4x6 inch paper, I would assume that the print should be in the upper left of the larger paper. I can make it come out centered on the 8.5x11 paper by playing with page setup (but, even anchoring will not make it print in the upper left corner of the large paper), but I still can't make it print on the 4x6 inch card. To make it worse, I can print correctly (on the 4x6 paper) with exactly the same setup if I use my old Photoshop 4 under Classic. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks for any help you can offer. Dave

I have the same problem. Did you get an answer to the problem of printing on 4 X 6 card stock? I have the C-80 and am trying to print from either photoshop or illustator. I'm not picky. I would like to use system 10.3.

thanks,

Good news, maybe,

I just managed to set up a custom page in Illustrator that gave me the results I wanted. I think I did the following:

I went to a post card that was origianlly set up In Illustrator 9.The document size was set at 4 " wide and 6" high. I saved a "print preset" with this configuration. When you go to print in Illustrator choose the new print preset. This seems to work. Whether you can set it up in Illustrator CS or not, I'm not sure. I just happened to have this file from before I upgraded and it worked.

Good luck,
