I have searched the Tech Board and not found anything that solves what I am about to describe.
We have four Macs in the office:
PowerPC G4 (AGP Graphics)
iMac (snow)
iMac (graphite)
eMac (5 mos. old)
All machines are running OSX.2.6
Our printer is an Epson Stylus Photo 1270 with the OSX 1.1 driver. It is directly connected via USB to one machine and everyone else uses it over the network through printer sharing.
Until today we were using VW8.5.2 opereating in the classic environment and had absolutly no problems printing. I installed VW9.0.1 still operating in the classic environment and was still able to print with no problems. When I upgaded to VW9.5.3 operating OSX and attempted to print, the actual print was only one corner of the the print area that I had selected. My page set up was a custom 12x18 sheet and was printing at 100%. Just in case you are wondering, I am positve that the print area was set to "one page." Here's the catch; the print preview shows me exactly what I want to be printed. I also tried exporting a PDF and the PDF also shows me what I want, but both the preview and the PDF only give me a corner of the selected print area on the screen. I have tried using using the Epson Stylus 1280 1.5 driver and I get the same thing. I started to try Gimp Print but it did not seem to be compatible with the print center. I have tried all of these things on different computers and the same result occurs every time.

What have I not covered? What is the next step?
