Printing A3 problems

Have just got new Epson stylus photo r1800 A3 printer and cant make it print A3. Page set up allows A3 but iphoto does not give me that option. Works fine on all other sizes. Any ideas out there?

Hi there!

I've got a wide format HP as well as an Epson 620, I normally print out of Photoshop, but your question got me curious.

Here's how I did it, Open iPhoto > File Menu > Page Setup > you should have an option for "Borderless Super B" ( or your choice of paper size), this is the important step

Now select your image to print > Share > Print > Advance > from here look for selection to, "Paper Handling" > look for "Destination Paper Size", I selected "Scale to fit Paper Size:" and then find "borderless super B" > and to make sure it looks OK, hit Preview > you should see your print preview and it should be Borderless... and like magic it worked and I did print a borderless 13 x 19 through iPhoto for the first time!!!!! WOW!

*If it doesn't look right in the print preview, hit cancel and start all over, it's there, you just need to find the little things that will make it happen...

Good luck, Rick

You're from the UK, so there may be some small differences as far as Super B v B3 v B3+ across the pond... I think you know what I mean
