Digital BW, The Print

I'm finally getting around to setting up my light room that I bought
everything for this last spring. 

In setting up the printers the Canon 960i that I will be using for
color setup very well and the first test prints are very very good
(can't wait to learn how to use it properly)

The Epson 890 I bought just to use with UT-2 Inks for B&W printing is
being a bit of a problem. I am testing it out with the supplied ink
before I go B&W with it.

Anyway trying to learn the interface is becoming a pain in the butt. I
finally figured out how to print a 5X7 print but it will only do it in
the center of the page and the results are VERY grainy I did the
alignment stuff but really couldn't see any differance between the
little squares with regards to grain even with my loop.

SO does anyone know what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks MUCH MORE later I'm sure LOL
