Hi Christine, I've never used Mavericks (and never even heard of it), but it sounds like the page setting somewhere. In PhotoShop or LR, I go to page setup - choosing the right printer, and then setting the page size. When you click on print, in the Windows printing dialog, check under printer

Igor, the company should be honest with us. I wouldn't be half as irritated if it were stated on the site that the items are back-ordered. I still would have placed the order, but I wouldn't have scared the UPS drivers to not purpose for the past week. :D If it's *in stock*, why isn't your lens

I don't have 10.9 Mavericks yet. I know in moving up from 10.5 to 10.6 to 10.7 I always had problems with Epson drivers. They have hundreds of models and they seem to take forever to accommodate system upgrades. I delayed moving to 10.8 for that reason, and then never got around to it so I'll
