It seems to me, Edmund, you pulled this Pro 9600 out of the trash,
not knowing how to use it. Nothing wrong with doing this. I would
have tried with great ernest to find operating instructions on the
web.
I have had my Pro 9600 for some years now, since I was using Mac OS
9. Some big problems did occur for me with transition to OS X. I
have learned to overcome the shortcomings of presets not sticking.
I had no other choice. I started with Firewire connections.
When I tried Gimp-Print, now Gutenprint, USB was the only
connection supported, that I was aware of. I now just stick with
USB
I do not remember any half prints using the Epson driver. However
I have numerous problems getting the complete print with
Gutenprint, as Robert Krawitz is aware of. He and his colleagues
have been helping me with these problems.. However, yesterday,
using the Epson R320, which is not a pro printer, only partial
prints came out with Gutenprint. Using the Epson driver, I had the
complete print come out.
I'd like to understand exactly what happened here. Matt, can you
arrange to get the PPD file and the log file from this? While I'm not
all that confident in the 9600 driver, not having access to this
printer, the R320 is quite another matter -- I do have a printer
substantially identical to it, and it *is* well tested.
Is it cut off cleanly, or does it fade out toward the end? How far
from the bottom of the page is it cut off?
