Printers and Vista

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.

Re: Printers and Vista

Is there a calibration tool with the CD printing program?

Re: Printers and Vista

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.

Re: Printers and Vista

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

Re: Printers and Vista

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.

Re: Printers and Vista

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.
