Canon i850 does not do borderless 5x7

What printer engineering lunkhead came up with that restriction? It
doesn't seem to make any sense.

If anyone technical can explain this logic to me, I am all ears.

I'm not technical, but I can tell you that you will get your 5x7
setting on your i850 as soon as you download the latest driver for
the printer (the driver that came on the installation CD is already
obsolete). Follow the instructions carefully. If I recall correctly,
you will find the instructions when you expand the files into a
directory on your computer. It's probably in the ReadMe file.

The Easy Photo Print upgrade you installed is not the driver. Before
you install the new driver you must uninstall the old.

Before you come back and tell me I am wrong, I downloaded version
1.2.1 of Easy Photo Print today July 2nd, 2003 and still nada in terms
of 5x7 support. Looking at the Canon USA website on both printers
under printer handling, sure enough the i950 can do 5x7 but the i850
cannot.

Both printers do great printouts (near photograph perfect compared to
CVS/Walmart/RiteAid prints if not better) I should add so I am not
totally knocking the printers. Just surprised on the 5x7 support.

The setting is available for me just fine in Mac OS X using my brand new
i850.

The original poster needs only to download the latest driver from Canon
and he will have the 5x7 setting. I originally had the same problem.
