why is this happening?
1. Image 1 - sometimes printing with my Epson 2100 the prints have no even margin as you can see
2. Image 2 - Every other time I print my prints have no margin at the bottom. I have tried 'center' 'add 0.2"' and other tricks! Does not work. :frown:
Please help.

PS: May be I should mention copyrights :biggrin: 1.Juza2.Myself.

Looks like a paper feeding problem. Are you using the standard paper feeder?

Do you have the adjustment guides on the "paper tray" closed tight to the edge of the paper when the paper is flush to the right side of the tray? Is the paper tension lever on the correct settings? I.E. not on envelope?

Are you using the correct paper size in Photoshop page setup?

Are you overloading the tray?

These are just a few thoughts. Not sure what the problem is. When you watch it feed, do you see the paper twist before it goes in or is one side just advancing faster than the other?

I am thinkng the Epson 2100 is the nonUS version of the 2200. In this printer in the paper "tray" there is a small "slider" for the lack of a better term. The paper needs to be held in place with this to keep it straight, but not with some much tension that the paper is bent. The paper also needs to be snug against the right hand side of the the printer tray. The combination of these two factors will align the paper straight and then the printer will print correctly on the page.

I hope this helps,
