I cant print custom sizes in photoshop CS3. Please help

I am on my Imac G4 using mac os x 10.4.11. I know that it is not my printer that is the problem. I have been told that I should upgrade to 10.5.x, I have also purchased a new CS3 because I dont have the original copy so I cant reinstall it. The trouble that I am having is that when I try to print custom sizes, the printer defaults back to 8.5x11. Only in photoshop does it do this. Has anyone else had this problem or know what I can do to fix it? I would really appreciate it. Thank you for your time. I will check back until this is resolved.

Russell,
Because your screen shots (they look like you actually shot them with a camera! ) don't show the whole Print Preview panel, I'm not sure at what stage you're losing the paper size, but it's pretty clear that by the time you invoke the printer driver, it's royally screwed up.
At this point I would:
• delete the printer from your printer list (in the Printer Setup Utility),
• re-install a fresh copy of the latest printer driver from the Epson site,
• then add the printer back in.
This is the kind of consistency you should be seeing (Command Click on each thumbnail to open the full-size image in a new web browser tab) [NOTE: this is CS4 running in Tiger 10.4.11):

  • How do I print a custom size from Photoshop CS3?

    I am using Photoshop CS3 with System 10.6 Snow Leopard, and I am printing on an Epson Stylus Photo R2000. The custom paper size is 8.5 x 14 inches. When I print the page the design appears to have expanded beyond the paper size. I need to make a borderless print, so I can't just shrink the image. What do I need to do?

    There should be a Custom Size setting for your Printer in the Photoshop Print dialog: Page Setup > Paper Size > Manage Custom Sizes.

  • Printing custom size prints

    I am having trouble printing custom size photos on regular size paper. I use the custom scale setting in the layout dialog box. However, the result does not match the requested size in the preview window and it does not print the requested size. For example I would like to scale a photo to print 4x10 on a 8/12X11 sheet of paper. When I custom scale to 4x10 the result is 4 high but 7.5 wide. Any help would be appreciated? I'm printing on an HP 9180.

    Have you cropped the photo to your desired 4x10 aspect ratio? If you do that, then the only printing part of the photo is that portion you've chosen in your crop. Then in the print dialog, you can tell it to print to 8.5x11 and set the margins there to .5 inch in order for it to scale to 10". Or have you done all this already?

  • Printing custom size envelopes under Yosemite

    Upgraded to Yosemite on MacPro.  HP8600 no longer prints custom size envelopes.  Seems like printer keeps expecting 11 inch long paper size even though the envelope is specified as 5.750 height.  Never had a problem before OS upgrade.  Need to print envelopes for Christmas cards.

    Hey @25172 ,
    Thank you for taking the time to post on the HP Forums today! Hope you enjoy the experience.
    I understand you are having issues when trying to print an envelope but the printer is trying to print on an 11' piece of paper. You used to be able to change the settings and it would work, now it simply isn't following your instruction.
    Have you done all the apple updates?
    Did you uninstall and reinstall the software for the printer since the update in OS?
    Are you experiencing any other issues when it comes to setting related tools with the printer software on 10.10?
    Look forward to hearing back from you! Have a great day.
    I worked for HP.

  • Printing Custom Sizes

    Is there any way that this printer will print Custom Sizes?

    Hello , Thanks for posting in the HP Forums, and welcome!I hope you have a pleasant experience here. I'd like to help you with the issues you are having setting customer paper sizes in Windows XP for your HP ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One printer.  According to the information in the printer's specifications, the printer only supports customized paper sizes on a Mac operating system, and only with the following dimensions:76 to 216 mm (3.5 to 8.5 in) wide and 127 to 356 mm (5.0 to 14.0 in) long-Source That being said, you are more than welcome to try setting up a custom paper size on your computer using these steps:How to create a custom paper size in Windows XP Hope this helps, Best of luck!

    Did you upgrade to Lion just before setting up iCloud? that's more likely to be the issue. PhotoShop CS2 is a PPC program and won't run on Lion - on Snow Leopard it requires Rosetta to emulate PPC, and this is not included in Lion. CS3 and lateer apparently work though with issues.
    Click on the program's icon in the Finder and hit command-i. Near the top of the pane it will say 'Kind': if it says 'PowerPC' then this is the problem. It will not run on Lion and there is no workaround. You will need to revert to Snow Leopard (you could install this on an external disk and start up from that).

  • Cannot install my costco photoshop 12 please help.  it is now installing itself.  Will take it back tomorrow.

    I have been working on installing this software for weeks now and am at the end.  The first time the organizer installed but the editor wouldn't.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times and am ready to take this application back to the store.  I have a Vista machine.

    It still didn't work.  I paid for Photoshop 12 at Costco.  The organizer downloaded just fine but when I tried to use the editor, the screen appeared asking for my Adobe sign on, I signed on, and then the application just churned.  I had to use task manager to stop it.  Per your instruction, I downloaded Photoshop 13 from the site, it downloaded fine and then asked for my Adobe sign on and then just churned.  I can now access Photoshop 13 organizer but still can't get editor.
    This is ridiculous.  Last night I did the msconfig.exe and followed the instructions on changing the start up menu and disabling everything.
    I am furious about this.  It looks like you want me to pay for Photoshop Elements 13 when I can't get 12 to work.  This is a Vista machine.

    Hi,
    DId you download and Install the COMBO version of the last Update that you did ?
    iChat on the Install Disk is likely to be several versions behind where your OS has been Updated to.
    It needs to Match the OS level.
    iChat Updates come in the OS Updates.
    You need to run the Updater manually as Software Updates keeps records of what it has done and thinks iChat is up to date.
    If you are on Snow Leopard then the COMBO version of 10.6.7 is here
    If you are on Leopard then the COMBO for 10.5.8 is here
    Googling Mac OS X 10.x.x COMBO where x.x is the version you are up to will generally find the link to the right page if you are at a different OS version.

  • Problem printing custom size 3.5 in x 5 in from InDesign to Canon i9900

    I am working on a small project where I need to print a custom size. The cards are 3.5 in x 5 in. I set up a custom size of paper in InDesign CS3, but every time I print to my Canon i9900, I get only a small bit of the design in the upper left hand corner as if my paper size is set to 8.5 x 11. I have tried everything to get it to print correctly. Also, how do I set the paper for borderless printing? It seems that it still has a margin when my printer prints borderless. This seems like if would be elementary to me so I am a bit frustrated that I can't figure it out.

    My experience is with CS2 on OS 10.3.9 and 10.4.11, so this may have changed in CS3, or 10.5....
    Setup a custom paper size for your printer.
    This can be accessed from within the InDesign Print window.
    File > Print
    Select your printer from the
    Printer: pulldown menu (if not already selected)
    Click
    Page Setup... at the bottom left
    Click
    Settings and then select
    Custom Paper Size from the list of options
    Click
    New, name the style, define the paper size and printable margins, and save it.
    Click OK to exit the page setup.
    In the InDesign Print Window, Click on
    Page Setup... again
    Select
    Your New Paper Size in the Page Setup
    Paper Size: pulldown, then click OK.
    InDesign Print window
    Setup should reflect the new page size and list the paper size as "Defined by Driver"
    If your document page size is the same as your paper size, then the preview in the lower left should reflect that.

  • Trouble printing custom size

    Any input would be greatly appreciated!
    I'm trying to print some photos to fit a picture frame with several oval-shaped cut-outs, measuring 1 3/4" x 2". I've been taking snap shots and cropping them to fit these ovals, but I'm having a lot of difficulty with iphoto in finding the right size to print. I've played with the custom setting, but the print is either too small or too big. Any ideas? Has anyone out there had luck with using Portraits & Prints? From their website it looks like there are templates, even oval shaped ones.
    Thanks!

    IPhoto does not lend itself to custom sizes. You'd be better served by using a 3rd party image editor and printing from it. There are users who have used Portraits and Prints successfully. If you think you'll be doing a fair amount of higher level editing you can consider Photoshop Elements. There is an open source image editor, Gimp, that you might consider. Go to VersionTracker.com and do a search for "image editor" and you'll get a number of possible candidates for the job.

  • Printing custom sizes on HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus from Macbook Pro

    I am having trouble setting up a Word Document (Word for Mac 2011) to print in a custom size on my HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus.  I'm using a Macbook Pro running Yosemite.  
    I would like to print on a card stock that is 4.5 in x 13.5 in.  I have tried under Page Setup to create a custom size under Manage Custom sizes, however, I'm hitting a brick wall.  The printer gets the job but can not feed the paper.  I've also tried to set my default paper size under my System Preferences/Printers and Scanners to be this size...still not working.
    Please help!

    Hi @klinecard 
    It is important to ensure the paper size you are selecting is a supported size, and make sure the weight is supported too.
    Printer Specifications for the HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Series Printer Series
    Please look under paper handling.
    If your desired size and weight is supported, you might find the following helpful; Create Custom Paper Sizes in Windows 7, Windows 8, and Mac OS X
    Truthfully, since you are not getting an error message, I suspect you have correctly setup the custom size, this issue is most likely the printers inability to feed the paper you are using.
