As mentioned above, do ALL applications do the same strangwe thing on printing, or do some do it right? If all, it is more likely a problem with OS, driver or hardware.

First thing to do is reboot both printer and computer. Unplug and reseat connecting cables cleanly. Bring computer back up first, then printer.

Next probable villain is the driver or the application settings. If your OS has been upgraded the driver may have been inadvertantly made obsolescent. Go to Epson's web site and check for the latest driver.

If the driver is current and all the settings in the application (and the document) appear correct, one possibility is to check the cards in the printer, if any can be found, to make sure they are well seated and not loose. Clean the area out with a vacuum, too.

If all this fails to remedy the situation, I'd fold and get a new printer.
