So, as the Epson finally gets back on its feet after another few months of blockages, I'm left completely puzzled by the print I just attempted.
Basically, I have the print previewed as I'd expect in Lightroom, but when I print it, the image is misaligned relative to the non-printable area of the paper.
So far as I can see, there's no way to insert the paper into the printer in way that would give me the output shown on the screen.
The weird thing this all used to work fine on my old Mac. So, I suspect there's some setting I've missed in setting things up afresh.
The paper is Moab Entrada 12 x 13 (for one of their Chinle albums). The printer is an Epson 4880, and I'm running LR 4.2.
Anyone got any ideas? I'm probably missing something completely obvious, I know!

Stephen, I had a similar problem with some greeting card stock about a year ago. I wish I could remember exactly what I did to fix it, but I do know I had to create a custom paper size (in Windows), then fiddle with the Epson driver settings. I saved a preset so I didn't have to mess with it again. After you get this figured out, would you mind posting your fix? Good luck.
If you don't get an answer here trying posting at LL in their printing forum if you are a member. They have some people there who really know their stuff.
