I cannot reproduce this bug. I have an Epson Stylus C70 and several other Epsons
(Stylus CX3200, CX5200, Photo 900) here and they all work correctly. For
installing them I plugged them in, turned them on, started "printerdrake" and
waited for the main window showing up. The Epson Stylus C70 and Stylus Photo 900
installed fully automatically, the Stylus CX models needed manual model
selection due to a hardware bug but installed correctly, too. I printed test
pages on all of them (by double-clicking the entries in the main window of
Printerdrake and choosing "Print test pages" and then "Standard test page". The
pages came out always correctly with nothing of the black frame missing.
Please check the following:
- Is the paper size (Letter/A4) set correctly? This can especially go wrong when
you choose another language than the one of the country where you are in the
beginning of the installation. Then you should at least choose the correct
country in the "Summary" step of the installation. In "Printerdrake" you can
correct the paper size setting by double-clicking the printer entry, choosing
"Printer options" and modifying the "Page Size" setting.
- Only Epson Stylus Photo printers do borderless ("Fullbleed") printing. All
other Epson inkjets have certain unprintable margins.
- The unprintable margins of Epson inkjets are not symmetric. Usually they start
printing right at the upper border and at the three other borders there are
around three or 4 mm on which the printer cannot print.
- It is possible that some PostScript documents are somehow broken. Please tell
with which program you created the document, or better make the document
available to download for us.

Using CUPS with the ghostscript+gimp-print driver on an Epson Stylus Color 400
results in a shifted (towards the top - firstly printed - part of the paper) and
clipped (smaller printed area, big margin at tha lastly printed part) printout.
This problems wasn't there using stcolor driver and lprng under suse. Other
people told me, that they had the same problem with a C70 printer, and switching
to PDQ from CUPS solved the problem.
