I have recently purchased a new Epson 3800 printer and I was disappointed to find that I could not print small test images on the right hand side of an A3 or A3 super sheet of paper. The problem occurs when using the rear manual feeder. The printer feeds the sheet into position and the head traverses the sheet once every minute and does not deposit any ink! The only way of stopping this is to turn off the printer.
I have experienced this on 3 different 3800 printers, so I assume it is a driver fault rather than a printer defect. The problem seems to be limited to pc systems operating with Windows XP. I have loaded the latest driver from the internet and this did not solve the problem.
Strange!!
