Anyone have this issue? I've had problems with small and large prints soming out crooked, no idea why. For now I've resorted to printing on a slightly larger sheet and trimming the paper to match the print.

I use an R2880 (A3+ printer) which on very rare occasions might pick up a single sheet at a slightly odd angle but 99% of the time is fine.

I've had more issues with roll paper feeds which are an absolute pig to get feeding correctly. But then I do know I've got a problem before I get as far as printing.

The only time I had this problem was when I switched sizes and did not have the sheet feeder set properly, it was a little too snug and put the paper in a bind. Keeping an eye on that and have not had another problem. Love my 3880!

I too love the printer, and the paper will skew at the bottom of the photo if the paper guide is too close, but this is not the problem as I've tried all sorts of positions, as well as just moving it aside and out of the way.

Is it like the R2880 in that as the single sheet top feed picks up the paper the guide on one side moves away from the paper? Its odd to see and the manual warns users not to try and stop it happening or it will crowd the paper too much.

Yes, apparently it is the same.
