How can I print with a wider left margin in Preview? (OSX 10.5)

How can I print with a wider left margin in Preview? (OSX 10.5)
To punch Binder Holes.
Should be easy ... Make a Custom page with a wider left margin ... easy to set up, but it does not actually work for any printer I am connected to.
Info so far:
Found an older post from 2002 ... "Make a custom page"
Mac Help has a limited, simple, incomplete answer: "Make a custom page"
Tried three printers. One Postscript Level 3 One Level 2 and one non postscript
Switching between page types in the drop down shows a change in the print preview, and the floating information shows the correct page size and larger left margin... but the "Custom Page Size" does not show a larger left margin, in the preview, no mater how it is set.
There also appear to be a relation ship between the radio Buttons for scale and the margin settings.
Test prints have simply cut off the left side of the document, and scaled the document from the right side in and the top down.
Printing a PDF from Preview

Thanks

Thanks ... tried the Paper Handling, but no lock.
Based on the fact that any scaling, "moves" the image down and to the left on the paper ...
Th only "work around" solution is to ...
Rotate the PDF page 180, then scale slightly (90% or so ...)
This pushes the upside down page, down and to the left.
While this is the opposite of what is desired, the print is then correct when
it is punched and placed into a three ring binder.
Assumption is the application that creates the documnt, needs to have the paper margins set. The reality is, an application like Preview, that does not "create anything", needs to handle existing documents PDF, JPEG and print to Custom Page configurations.
ie: In Preview, Custom Page does not work correctly,
Thanks allfor the comments and help ...

    JimHess~  Many thanks.  In my short history with LR, it's amazing how many people I've seen ask this question.  I'm nearly embarrassed at how simple the fix was, but grateful that you didn't dismiss such a basic question.  You made my week.  And my friend's photo album...

    What to search? What do you mean "what to search". I suggested you search the forum using "printerjob" as the keyword.
    Or search the forum using "printing". Think up you own keywords. Read some postings and get some ideas. All the information is in the forum if you look hard enough to find it.

  • How can I print comments in the right margin with Ver X?

    First time with this discussion area.  I'm attempting to print messages in the right margin of the page on which they appear.  This was possible in Ver IX.

    I checked my copy of Acrobat 9, and the only way I could find to print comments on the right side of the page was one of the four versions of comment summary.
    You can do the same thing in Acrobat X. On the Comments panel, select the Options menu (circled) and choose Create Comment Summary.
    Then select the 2nd option in the Create Comment Summary dialog:

  • Can't get rid of wide left margin in document

    I'm working with a student on laying out a school newsletter, 8 pages long. After laying out 7 pages, the whole document was shrunk on the left side by the appearance of a 1 1/2" wide gray margin, which I can't remove. It prints that way too. The doc was perfectly formatted until this suddenly appeared. What causes this and how do I get rid of it?

    Shep,
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    Click on your View menu and see if Comments are turned on. If they are, shut them off, then try printing again.

  • How can I print with a Windows computer through the AirPort?

    Basically, I'm a college student in a dorm room with a wireless HP printer. I have a MacBook Pro 15-inch with Snow Leopard and my roommate has an Asus Eee PC with Windows XP. I use an Apple AirPort Express router and print through it with my computer wirelessly. Is there any way my roommate can print wirelessly from his computer? So far, I haven't figured out how to set it up and he just uses my computer whenever he needs to print something.

    Since the printer has its own wireless built-in, as opposed to it connecting via USB to the Airport Express, then there shouldn't be an issue for the Asus to connect to the printer, providing it can connect to the Express also via wireless.
    Unless someone here knows otherwise, I suggest you check the HP web site in case there is an additional utility required for XP to add a network wireless printer.
    Usually, a network printer is added by selecting Local Printer, rather than Network as this is looking for server shared printers, and then you create a New Port and select Standard TCP/IP for the port type.

  • I cannot print emails with the recent update of Firefox on my Mac os10.8.5 but I can on my Macbook Pro os 10.5.8 and Firefox 16.0.2. How can I print with #1?

    I followed the "HELP" suggestion but it said "server not found"

    Hello <!-- XXX you may wish to edit this greeting, and other parts of the response so that it is personalised to the question asked.--> ,
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
    <b>WARNING:</b>Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u> See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. <!-- Starting in Firefox 31, the Firefox uninstaller no longer lets you remove user profile data.Ref: Bug 432017 and https://support.mozilla.org/kb/uninstall-firefox-from-your-computer/discuss/5279 [Fx31] Windows uninstaller will no longer offer the option to remove personal data -->
    Please report back to say if this helped you!
    Thank you.

  • How can I print with black border around edge of image?

    I'd like to add a black border around the edge of certain images I'm printing. I know it's fairly trivial in Lightroom, but I can't see where this option is in Aperture. Is this lacking in Aperture, or am I just missing it? Many thanks.
    PS -- I'm aware there are some plug-ins that claim to do this, so if Aperture can't do this, please feel free to chime in with comments on the best plug-in for this task.

    Aperture BorderFX 1.1
    Thanks, Rich. That's a good plug-in, and does cover what I need (with lots of other features, too). The problem, though, is it requires an export of the image, which I then have to either print from another application, or reimport to Aperture to print. I was hoping to find something that will either just apply the border to the print job, or that would serve as more of an Edit With . . . type of plug-in than an Export plug-in, so I can keep everything in one place. Thanks again.

  • How can I print with my iPad3 to my lexmark pro905.  The LexPrint app is no longer available.

    I want to print to my wireless LexMark Pro905 but there is no longer an LexPrint app available.  What should I use?

    What did Lexmark tell you as to why they removed their app? Are they going to have a new one?
    Buy an AirPrint compatible printer next time and it won't cost you anything to print.

  • How can I print just a part of the page and not the full page with Adobe Reader v 10.1.2?

    how can I print just a part of the page and not the full page with Adobe Reader v 10.1.2? I need to print a engineering print with lot of information but information is too small in letter size and I don't have a plotter.

    Two ways to print a portion of a page: zooming or using the Snapshot Tool.
    ZOOMING:
    Zoom into the area you want to print.
    Click the Print icon.
    Under "Pages to Print", make sure "Current view" is selected under "More options" (you may need to click "More options" to open it).
    If you aren't satisfied with the preview, try clicking "Fit" under the Size button.
    SNAPSHOT
    Choose Edit > Take A Snapshot.
    Drag a rectangle around the area you want to print. 
    Click the Print icon.
    Under "Pages to Print", make sure that "Selected Graphic" is selected under "More options".
    To enlarge the snapshot to fit the sheet of paper, choose "Fit" under the Size button.
    Hope this helps!
