Lightroom Printing Problem

Hello,

I am trying to print from Lightroom using Epson R3000 printer. I choose a template 8x10 but my images are printing all the way to one side. How do I correct this. I would have expected the image to be centered on the page.

Thanks,

Bill

    If you are choosing the Adobe default template  (1) 8x10,  then that defaults to 8.5x11inch paper with a CELL of 8x10!

    I suggest to ignore the Adobe templates, set you paper size and orientation in [Page Setup] printer dialog, then define the Cell Size and margins in the panels on the right.

    You could post some screen-clips of your Layout panel and printer settings to help get an answer.

    Yes your settings look (mostly) OK-

    But do you see that a 10inch cell on 11inch paper must leave two margins wider than the others.

    In your case I suspect you will find the margin at the bottom of the page is larger- hence the offset result.

    You need to equalize the Top & Bottom margins, and turn [off] the "Zoom to Fill" you will get a better view of your image.
