Maintenance and care Ecotank-2700

You know the other thing with the epson driver is that you are limited to square poster printing from what I've seen. Alot of my prints are 4X3 and 8x5 so those are definitely restrictive in their sizing. After some further digging I found out that Adobe Acrobat actually has a free version called reader that has the same poster options as well as the paid one. The only real big change from paid to free seems to be the ability and tools to edit PDF's.

Yes, that's a limitation of the driver, you may refeed blank pages, but if you need more than 4x4 it won't work.

Well I've done quite a bit of reading on colors in the last few days and still haven't even broached the subject!
I am having another issue trying to get an image to print right and maybe you guys can help again.
I'll attach the image. The problem is the image is coming out pretty black and white without the pine trees having the tinge of green like they do in the actual image. What should I be trying to adjust in my GIMP editor with this image?

I'll attach the image.

No image uploaded.

Have you tried printing the image with default settings (no custom setting changes or gamma manipulations), letting the printer manage the color, and tried different applications from which to print? Do these things first and then let us know.

Resist the urge to wing it with your new found color management when you run up against an issue like yours. Start with the unadulterated basics.

Yeah thats what I tried first and it came out as black and white image for the most part. Trying to upload image but it wasn't letting me as it is too big. I'll host it later and put a link up.

OK. Let us know what applications tried, what settings used with both the applications and printer, what printer ICC profile used, does the printer and application print other images properly since this issue began, computer operating system, etc.
