    :confused: I have an epson c82 which is printing fine, but I'm trying to print a pic from my email, it will only print part of it. I realize it would probably use 2 sheets of paper to print it, and I set the printer to landscape but it just won't print it all. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any info :)

    Chynna--Normally the following should help, though in your case I am not sure why the Landscape mode is not working.
    If you are only missing a small part of one edge, then in Internet Explorer click File|Page Setup and change the Margin settings to the smallest number permitted. (Set to 0 and the smallest number will automatically be set.) Now try printing.
    If however, you are missing a large portion of the image, Save the image and open it in a graphics editor such as MSPaint, Irfanview, etc. Estimate by what amount the image is too large to fit on one sheet of paper, and reduce the size of the image accordingly. Now print from the graphics editor.
    Going back to the issue of Landscape printing--When I click Print on my PC, I get a window from my HP Printer with various options. On the Preferences|Effects tab, I can change the size of the print. I can also see a Print Preview. Perhaps Epson has the same features?

    Its about ½ of the pic that isn't printing. I have it in mspaint, but don't know what to do with it now. Its 530 x 355 pixels if that means anything. I don't know how to reduce the size :confused: . Printer illiterate here.........sorry. Why won't it just print out on 2 pages? Its says its only one page, etc. but yet it doesn't all print out. Thanks for the reply and any other help you can give me. :(

    Chynna--Thanks for posting back. Glad you solved the problem.
    530 x 355 pixels is a pretty normal image, on the small side. Surprised you had the problem in the first place. Try printing out a larger image. Maybe there was something wierd about that one image.
    In MS Paint, once an image in opened, you change size of an image by clicking View|Stretch/Skew. If you change one dimension the other will usually change accordingly to maintain original relationship, but you can choose to change only one dimension which will give you stretching or shrinking in that dimension only. If you make smaller, the image usually is quite acceptable. If you make larger the image may start to "pixillate ", break into chunks.

    You may also find a setting when you go to print to "fit to page ". This will 'force' the image to be resized on printing to the paper size being used.
