Epson 7600 Horizontal or Vertical ????

Having a heck of a time between Elements 2 and the Epson Software coming up with the settings which will let me print a landscape format so that it reads right coming out of the printer. I like to print my S2 Jpegs 22 inch wide so that I have a 1 inch border on the left and right. My prints keep coming out turned 90 degrees which wastes a lot of expensive paper. Can anyone help with the settings on both Elements 2 and the Epson software. It is driving me nuts....Tom

Go into your printer's custom page settings. You should find that the width (in 1/100 inch increments) is equal to the maximum roll paper width your printer can handle. The height can be varied to a much longer dimension. If you set your page dimensions here, then you know what orientation to use for output.

It's much easier to catch a page orientation problem using the full Photoshop's print with preview feature. It will show you the orientation of your image and the live area you've set for your output. You can even move the image as you need within the live area. That's just one of many reasons you should upgrade from Elements, much better color management is another.
