Jim and skyglider,
Thanks for your detailed replies.
I downloaded from the links you supplied, but it still shows a simplified version of the print page. There does not appear to be a selection for 'Print to page' or 'Print actual size' nor, in the paper selection window, does it give a choice of Epson Archival Matte paper, which I use exclusively.
Did you download and install all 3 programs needed (Epson Driver, Epson Easy Photo Print, and Epson EasyPrint)?
The two utility programs are in the Utilities section on the download page we both linked to (and I gave you direct links to both of those utilities in my post)
The Easy Photo Print application is designed to integrate with some software so that you don't need to change the printer properties to get to the more advanced settings. If you were using Elements 3 before, it integrated with it.
But, it may not work with Elements 13. So, you'll need to change the settings from different screens.
Anyway, for starters, make sure you installed the correct driver for the Operating System you're using (see my last post for details on the subject) as you may be using a generic driver instead. Then, make sure you install *both* of the utilities programs I linked to after you have the correct driver installed.
But, my guess is that you're just missing the buttons to see the more advanced settings choices when printing from an app like Elements.
When you click on File>Print, are you then going into any Change Settings or Properties button on that print dialog page?
If not, go into the next page to change more settings.
Then, from that next page where you make more settings changes like paper size, etc, click on the
"Advanced" button to see even more settings related to your specific printer.
If you're not going into the Advanced section, you're probably missing options you can set.
Here's a user guide for Elements 13 that may come in handy. See how to use a local printer starting on page 267 (which is actually page 272 of the .pdf file).

Note how it mentions that after you click on Print and select a Printer, that you need to click on the Change Settings button for more choices (size, paper type, etc.) and note that there is an "Advanced" button on that page to see driver specific options.
So, I suspect you're not going into the Advanced settings to see more options (or have the wrong driver installed).
Also note that Elements itself has many settings for how photos are printed (see the following sections in it's user guide after the section on the basics for using a local printer).
For example, the user guide tells you how to go into Custom Size and how to tell it to scale images to fit the media size, or how to print in actual size (two things you seem to think are missing).
The user guide I just linked to goes into that kind of thing on about page 270.
Also note that one of the programs I suggested you install (Epson EasyPrint) is a stand alone application (not the same thing as Epson Easy Photo Print). So, you could use it for printing photos (and you should find it under All Programs somewhere in your menus).
But, I'd be very surprised if you couldn't do the things you want to do using the Print settings you'll see from within apps like Elements 13, unless you have the wrong driver installed for the Operating System you're using and/or you're not looking at all of the available options you have in the Print Dialogue screens.
