By "overprinting" I mean (1) making a print on inkjet paper and then (2) feeding the already-printed paper into the printer and printing something else on top of it.
I have tried overprinting on an Epson P5000 and and Epson 4900. Both fail in a very strange way: In step (2), the printer prints part of the way down the page and then ejects the paper, as if to say "All Done!". There's no error message.
The Media Types on the P5000 and 4900 do not include choices such as "Colored Paper" or "Preprinted Paper." I choose the actual Media Type of my paper, e.g., "Premium Presentation Paper Matte."
Why the printer chooses to stop where it does is a mystery. There's nothing particularly significant about the stopping point. Sometimes it overprints 3/4 of the page and refuses to overprint the last 1/4. Other times it overprints the first 1/4 of the page and refuses to overprint the last 3/4.
Turning off Paper Skew check, Paper Size check, and Refresh Margin has no effect.
