Epson 1400: can't print at highest resolution on 13x19
Posted: Thu Aug 28, 2008 2:35 pm
I have tried several times to print at the highest resolution (5760 dpi) without success. I'm using the trial version of Turboprint. To be brief:
- I added a 13x19 page size.
- I can print to this size at lower resolutions (e.g. 2880).
- It will not print at 5760, even if I reduce the size of the print to a regular 8.5x11 (but leave the paper size at 13x19).
- Printing at 5760 does work at 11x14.
- I have tried from two different computers with the same result.
I'm using 64 bit Kubuntu 8.04. I note that when I submit a print job at 5760 and 13x19, the KDE printer icon becomes active, and indicates processing. It then (after about three seconds) disappears. The Turboprint monitor seems to think that everything worked, but nothing is ever printed. Printing something smaller works just fine after I try this (i.e., the printer queue doesn't freeze up or anything).
Any thoughts? Advice? Thanks.
