HI...
I have a Pentax IST DS,
I took some pictures on the Weekend in the Raw format which is a Pentax .PEF file...
I then used for the first time The Pentax photo browser program to print a picture.. (Print a .PEF file)
I was trying to print a full A4 landscape picture..
Quality was brilliant, but it only printed the bottom 2 inches of the picture.
I checked all the settings, and tried again, with the same result.
The Print preview showed a full picture..
So I then converted the picture to a .tif format and managed to print the same picture using ACDSEE 7,
I then tried again with success with Paint shop pro 9.
I then went back to (The Pentax photo browser program) to print the same picture as a .PEF and again it only printed the bottom 2 inches of the landscape picture again...
A friend of mine suggested it may be a memory issue, so I checked that and every thing was fine..
The Only way that the (The Pentax photo browser program) would print a full picture is if I set it to print the picture in draft or text quality...!!!
So,
Does anyone have any ideas?
I figure it may be a problem with the Pentax photo browser program..!
Not with the printer... (Epson stylus photo R350)

note... Normally if I want to print a picture,
I just use a photo paint program or ACDSEE..
But this time, I wanted to see the results printing
the original Pentax .PEF file, instead of printing a .tif or .jpg in ACDSEE ACDSEE does not support a PEF file.. (pentax raw file)
Thanks in advance...

just tried it with my canon IP5000 and it worked fine but i should have clicked the "fit to paper "button and also there was some orange squares [paper orientation selection] on the pic.

Thanks for the reply,

A friend found the problem,
It was in the printer settings under advanced.
Switched Spooling off, works fine now.
I assume the PEF picture was too big for the printer memory to handle...

Thank-you
