Printers and Vista

[jwalgren]

I have an Epson stylus photo R200 printer.
It prints phots and CDs. The photo function works fine with Vista, but
when I try to print a CD, the image is WAY off-center.

Are there any Vista patches or downloads that will correct this problem?

Thank you.

Is there a calibration tool with the CD printing program?

 

[jwalgren]

What's a calibration tool? If you mean adjusting the image, yes, you can
adjust the image, but the printing is SO far off, it doesn't really help. I
guess I'm looking for someone to tell me if there is a Vista download that
will make this printer compatible with Vista.

What program are you using to print labels from?

It was software that came with the printer. It prints directly onto the
CD...not labels. It might be called Epson print CD.

 

[Colin Barnhorst]

I understand that the label is printed directly on the medium. Have you
checked the printer manufacturer for updates for your software and updates
for the driver?

There are quite a few different types of label sheets. Are you setting the
printer program for the templates you are using?

He is using a lightscribe type method of printing the label directly on the
cd or dvd.

I was hoping someone had this same printer with the same problem with Vista
and had found a solution. I looked at the Windows list of Vista-compatible
Epson printers...and I swear, every letter and number combination is
compatible, except the R200.

Thanks, Colin and Mike for writing. If you think of anything else, please
post.
