Thanks for that - do you play the piano?

Yes - several times.

What happened was when I installed Turboprint it chose to call my
printer tp0. I selected this from the drop down list in Gimp.

> My command looks like this: "lp -s -dtp-stylus_photo_r200". 

By default, the command line read lp -s -dtp0 

Under the command line I was required to enter the PPD which I found
from /usr/share/turboprint/ppd and entered Epson_StylusPhotoR300.ppd
This is all in accord with the manual as far as I can see.

Selecting Media gives quite a long list of paper sizes which includes
Epson 4 X 6 photopaper but no borderless sizes. What I cannot understand
is that in TurboPrint Printer Configs selecting paper size gives a
shortish list which does not include Epson 4 X 6 photopaper but does
have several borderless sizes.

I should be so lucky.
